Host for Weddings @ Orchard Parade Hotel, 7 Feb 2009 (Sat) , 7:30pm - 11:00pm

I did not take any photos or videos this time round as my dearest personal assistant was not with me. However, hope the newly-wed could send me a couple of digital copies that their photographer has snapped.

This is the first wedding-hosting job I have ever done as a D.I.Y singer-songwriter. No need for me to sing but just need me to use my best Mandarin to bring fun, happiness, prosperity and forever-love to the wedding dinner taking place on Lunar Year 13th day, 7 Feb 2009. In short 1327.

The couple is really trying to bring prosperity to all of us ... 1327 came out third prize 21 Jan 2009 4D and then first prize and starter on 11 Feb. I would have been a few thousand dollars richer if I have place a bet on it but what is yours is yours, what is not is not. :) Hope some guest would have bet on the number again when they heard me mention the number during the dinner. Haaa ...

Anyway, I would like to wish Jerry and Anne a happy marriage.

The journey has just begun ... have fun and enjoy the process ...

NTU Impresario 2009 Semi Final, Junction 8, 8 Feb 2009, 4pm (Part 1)

I was the group champion during uni-days in Impresario. To see that students have brought Impresario to such a well received level, I want to re-introduce what I have always believed in --- Hard work and perseverence is the key to overcome any hurdle. Well done students !!!

The purpose of LIFE starts with a little dream. It becomes meaningful when hope sets in. And we get real when we finally decide to see the dream come true. DREAM BIG, TAKE THE STAGE !!! - this is the slogan of Impresario 2009. Exactly, when one dare to dream big and take action, he/she would be bring his/her to the another exciting and interesting stage of LIFE.

Friends always ask how far I think I can go making music independently. How many albums would I want to make before I call it a quit, then realising how much money I have lost?

My answer -

3 decades leaving in the earth, I have spent more than 1 decade harbouring the dream and incubating the idea of making an album. I dreamt to have my launch, I dreamt to have my autograph sessions, I dreamt to perform in front of large crowd, I dreamt to help others with music, I dreamt to tell people not to give up easily on your dreams, I dreamt and I dreamt ...

And when it happened, I know I never gonna quit. If it meant that I have to save another decade to come up with the 2nd album, I will. Am I being realistic then? I like to think I am because I feel everyone needs to do something for himself/herself. We need to tell ourselves we have dreams and here we are to take the stage. And when we do, we just have to enjoy the decision we have taken and do our best no matter what is the outcome.

So all the participants of Impresario 2009, continue your dream and take the stage and be crazy.

But but ... but make sure you have another means to secure a stable income. Dream Big, Take the Stage ... also means to We Gotta Get REAL !!!

Guest Performer @ RazzlePlay Debut Launch, Singapore Polytechnic Auditorium, 02/02/2009 (Monday), 8:30pm

The Singapore Mandarin INDIE/D.I.Y Music Arena welcomes our new family member - RazzlePlay. RazzlePlay is yet another 100% "Born-in-Singapore, Made-in-Singapore, Use our own pocket money and invest all our effort to do music" INDIE/D.I.Y Music Group.

Was msn-ing Vincent (the band leader) the night before the launch. He was telling the experience of giving out flyers to the public regrading RazzlePlay's launch. Vincent, you have done a great job and that is exactly the true spirit of D.I.Y musician. Most of the time, we are faced with budget constraints and a lot of marketing/publicity/advertising stuff seem to be far beyond our reach. However, do remember that humans are resources too. You have a band of 5 people bringing together different strengths and different networks of friends. Hence I'm sure RazzlePlay is able to do well if all of you continue to be Crazy & DARE-ing. Be humble, keep trying and enjoy the process.

Went for soundcheck in the afternoon and was early 1hr. Was really touched and impressed by these 5 young people. They are a group of quiet gals and boys who are really serious musicians. And I must say that the backstage crews and sound persons from Singapore Polytechnic were doing a good job to deliver their best with what they were equipped with.

After my soundcheck, I have to rush to get my hair done, dress up and "fly" to Orchard Mandarin Meritus for an interview by Brisbane radio station DJ Jiayi at 7:30pm (Will put up later). Thanks Jiayi for able to lead the interview well and I managed to end the interview by 8pm. In no time, I was speeding to Singapore Polytechnic.

Simin called 8:20pm and informed that my turn was coming soon. And I was like ... oh goshhh ... the program was early and luckily I was just about 5 mins away. Found a place, get the car park and I was there backstage 8:30pm, panting.

In no time, it was my turn and I must applause that the turnout was good. RazzlePlay, well done!!! Their hard work really paid off. I knew Vincent was running a fever and then I was told that lead vocal almost couldn't sing if without an injection. And yah the sound and some other stuff might also not be at their best. But still RazzlePlay persisted !!! Great job !!!

It is only through the above obstacles and years of hardwork that RazzlePlay has displayed their resilience.

Keep it up !!!

Kreta Ayer-Kim Seng GROs Spring Gathering 2009, 1/2/2009 (Sun), Singapore Flyer, 7:30pm

YET, Campus-Superstar Ben and Senior Kenn Jiu Jian

Crazy YET promoting Crazy YET


My primary school principal Mr Ang

Guess, what is common among us?

Jiu Jian Lao Shi invited me to sing for occassion. Gotta thank him that I have managed to reunite with my primary school (Pearl Park Primary) principal Mr Ang. Greeted him on stage and thanked him for nurturing us with good patience. Presented him with my autographed album. So proud of myself. Haaa ... And yah, his friends all cheered for him for being such a wonderful principal.


Children are still children, bad or good, it is part of growing up. What makes children nowadays different from the past is actually not children themselves. But the society and the coping skills of adults. I am not saying the adults and society are to be blamed but WE really seem to have lost our wisdom in appreciating that each child carries with them a story and potential like OURSELVES. It is hard not to discover that WE are most of the time managing children like an equation, treating them with a formula. People, put aside your theory when comes to managing children. Nurture them with your heart and your sincerity and not all the labeling and your profession jargons for your convenience OR should I say it's your ignorance? Raising children is not a money making job. My Principal knows that best and that is why I call him wonderful principal.

Had a good chat Campus Superstar Ben while waiting for our turn to perform. He shared with me his experience in performing and how much he has loved the stage. And how he has already planned for his studies to further acheive his music dream. Ben, do your best and with do it with your heart, when you have put in your 100%, things will take care of themselves. No matter what the outcome is, at least you know you have been there to achieve what you have set up to achieve.


Told Jiu Jian Lao Shi that Ben has got the potential and I still can't understand why he did not manage to clinch the champion. Talking about Jiu Jian Lao Shi, has long heard about him ever since I started writing songs. Thanks to Bevlyn for introduction last year and finally we get to work on this production a year later. It is really good to see that more seniors are not returning to local music scene to help groom the young ones. I really hope everyone could do it with a truthful heart and beef up the local music scene.

Last but not least, Healthy and Wealthy Year 2009.

Guest perform at +PLUS Anniversary Celebration, 31/1/2009 (Sat) , 10:30pm

YET, Ah Guan, YannYann, Ray, Erick

No MAN is an island, the world is about people helping people, and that is when you see smiles on the faces and happiness being spread around.

Ah Guan, a friend of mine, who is the owns +PLUS together with Mediacorp actor Ray, invited me to guest perform for their pub's anniversary's celebration.

Though it is just a simple unplugged performance with my buddy musician, Erick, the guests really helped to escalate the whole session to a real HIGH when everyone hands over the shoulders of one another forming a human chain, started to join in the singing of some popular hits.

BIG Papaya YannYann from 881, was there too. Get known to her in Facebook and finally met her in person. According to Ah Guan, she was the guest for the openong ceremony of +PLUS a year ago. Back then 881 was so popular and LIU LING LING da jie was the guest performer and she managed to sell her 881 CDs like hot cakes during the show.

Well, like what Ray and Kunhan has said, I was less aggressive. Thanks to Ray who has volunteered to help me push for the sales. Appreciate your effort !!!

Ah Guan and Ray, a good prosperous year to +PLUS. And keep up with the family culture of +PLUS. I am sure +PLUS will go on and on !!!

Cheers !!!

Spot me ???!!!

YET at backstage !!!

Radio 1003 DJ Kemin

One of the satisfaction, excitment, happiness (whatever you call it) being a singer/performer is you get to conquer different performing stages. Each stage gives you a different experience and touches you in a different way.

I have always wanted to perform at the Floating Stage. It is really a dream come true when organising committee of River Hong Bao 2009 has selected me for the performance. Thanks a lot.

I have chosen to sing Wonderful Love (爱很奇妙) because I thought this is a good time to wish everyone a lovely year ahead and to hold on to one another with love through good and bad times. And I have also hope that Wonderful Love could be sung together with a large group of audience. It is a song of love, encouragement, motivation and hope.

The crowd was lovely and with them as part of the song, I'm really thankful that DIY music is not so lonely with all your support. Thanks for your clapping and cheering. I am also thankful to the organising committee who have treated the artistes so well. And thank Host Kemin for such a wonderful introduction.

I love the stage by the sea. And I will work hard to conquer more performing stages.
