第二次

终于,我有了第二次演出的机会。这次连同Nianwen和Darryl以DNW在疯狂世界(CrazyWorld )有20分钟来呈现4首歌曲。昨晚我们曲目包括了周杰伦的'说好的幸福呢',吴克群的'傻瓜',Baby的'爱情不能做比较' 和 倪安东的'散场的拥抱'。

虽然舞台小,但一想到要表演,始终会感到紧张。不!是超紧张的!我甚至紧张到手臂发麻,声音颤抖,唱错旋律等。但说是在的,当我唱第二首歌时,我有些许的放松!也许当时错误连连,所以告诉自己'豁出去了'!哈哈!

在DNW里,我资历最浅(从名字就看的出吧?我是排最后的'W')。真的很庆幸Darryl来找我。他人很好,歌很棒,难怪能收到各位的信赖!我想他知道我信心与日俱渐,所以想帮我从拾信心吧。谢了,Darryl哥(虽然你比我年轻)!

接下来应该很少有机会歌唱演出吧。确定的只有在十二月当司仪了,所以很期待进祥的婚礼!

中英雙語 = Bilingual?

中英雙語 = Bilingual?

剛和朋友聊到博客的話題發現自己竟然是少數在博客以中英雙語發表意見,思想的人!

其實很少會去想到這問題,通常腦子裡想的東西確實比較容易以中文來表達吧。或許是因為中文是我在日常生活慣用的語言。但當然對於我來說,使用電腦書寫英文會是比較方便,較容易。因為我打中文字必須通過'南極之星',相較之下會麻煩些。

雖然如此﹐為了進步中文﹐我仍然繼續努力以中文些博客。我永遠不會忘記在中學時被中文老師講評說自己的語文表達欠佳﹐能拿個‘B3’其實已經很好了。雖然有點傷心﹐但這畢竟是事實。唯一能做的是不放棄﹐繼續努力﹗

若沒忘記﹐我的英文也是通過書寫的方式有所進步。我不敢說自己英文好﹐更不用說我精通雙語﹗若現在的我的英語很差﹐你可以想象當時的程度﹗But hey, at least I can convey effectively in English (ignoring all the grammar mistakes that I may make)! 呵呵﹗

能看到自己不是在友人中唯一的‘博客’時﹐真的很棒﹗我會繼續下去﹗

Boring Blog

He is a camwhore but his blog is colorful & yes, I vote for him... he is.... TypicalBen. His blog is full of Youth and definitely one of the key new gen blgoger. I will look towards his style and be more open or, in another words, thicker skin! Its good to be thick-skin at times. For me, i am too shy! Honestly! Do check out his bro's link in his blog too. They look like twins!

Another that caught my eye under the individual category includes 范的涂鸦空间 by F@N. Many cute comics are uploaded and post there. Though not a lot of post but i guess it is not easy to maintain a comic-style blog. Hence, that is a commendable effort!

This year's Singapore Blog Awards 2011 caught my attention and put shame to my blog... at least i find my blog dull and boring despite a change of colors and format had actually make my blog more lively. But still there is a lot of room for improvement. Though i have urge to create travel blog & food blog. I will stick to this personal blog first... but rest assure, i will try to revamp the site after so many years under "The Unspok3n Voice".

Who knows, i may get nominated in 2012 edition! =) Apart from the revamped, the business blog idea had been dismissed but there is a possiblity of creating a photography/travel blog or a food one that compliment my HGW account! Watch out my space here!

Guys Talk

we talk while we walk, we mock while we talk...
its just guys talk!

Never have i see this coming, never will i expect this to happen... but it just did. Nothing special but i just returned back from a guys talk that making me thirsty, tired, sleepy and sweaty! Gosh! How will guys talk ended up in sweat?

A friend of my whatsapp me up and asked if i am free. We stayed nearby and hence i agreed to meet him up. The rest are busy or wanna rest le. But its not a bad one, just tiring... Since both of us stayed in SK, we walked our way to Jalan Kayu! And guess what? I am like a tour guide to him for the westside tour of SK! Its my jogging route and i am very familiar with every corner of SK west. So yes, it is his first time to SengKang Riverside Park, SengKang Sports & Recreational Center, Anchorvale CC etc... The walk make us all sweaty! But guess that will help to burn away the sinful BOMB prata i ate just now.

The food and talk made me thirsty all the way. Its a great talk. I did not know that i shared so many common characteristic with him even though we may be seen as two different type of person. Deep inside us, we are almost the same. Almost, but not yet. One major point strike us apart and never same. A point no one will know! haha... That's a great but tiring guys talk!

Never Try, Never Know

I went for my first ever informal audition for a gig hours ago. Its informal as the guitarist that was auditioning me made the session a please one and more of a jamming session. He is a great dude, but of course, i am not up to standard. He is still very encouraging and positive. I'll 'wait' for his reply but expect the reply! Just hope that there will be more such session soon. Please do not give me false hope, GL.

Initially, i was hestitating whether to give it a try. Knowing that my standard is below par, i would not stand a chance against the rest. But still, i am having a slight hope that it might finally be a chance for me to 'shine'. haha. Honestly, i am going there for the experience. Never try, never know... isn't it?

One main reason for me to take up this opportunity is that i am losing confidence in music. Definitely not the money factor. There are many way better singer around me that sound great! Imagine i am living in this kind of world! haha... Its an honor to have them as friend, on a negative side, its a pressure and demoralising. On the positive side, i have to work harder... But as human, we tend to think abit negative first! haha. I know that i always have stage fright or crowd fright. If i don't even overcome the auditioning part, i will still face the same issue. I will not even have a chance to be afraid of stage/crowd!

For a split second, i did ask myself if i should continue singing. That is when i walk out of YAMAHA. Despite the fact that GL was very encouraging and positive, i still find my performance one of my worst! My voice is tired and sang too high without really warming up. Thanks to those people who encourage me when hearing that i am trying out tonight. Thanks guys.

Now i fully understand why i am always being missed out when there is an idea of organising a performance. why i am not in the list of possible candidate. I guess i am really not up to standard yet. Its demmoralising but i accepted the truth...

Not to worry, at the moment, i am not throwing my towel... YET! At least, i know, i took a huge step forward. Things can only get better, isn't it?
