Waseda!

So sorry for not writing anything here!

and I havent been able to update this page so I have missed out on some shout out's on what's been going on.

November 22, I performed with the Waseda Brass Band all the way from Japan. I recently learnt that they only have 4 performances a year and being their invited guest was a real honor. And it sure did feel like it. They were so professional and wonderful.. and so friendly.

The conductor was only 27... which is considered really young for a conductor. =)

the group was so fun and cool to be with and I missed the after party! And working with them was a breeze. they were really profesional, I felt like a little fish in a big pond.

Well, soon a bigger pond.... The Penang Island Jazz Festival...

Up and Comin

Ok so here's the latest happenings that will soon be happening!

1. 16th November 08, Queensbay, 7:45 am : I will be singing here for the Penang Bridge Walk with the Apeks! Hehehe it should be fun. I'm so glad we are given this opportunity to sing in front of so many people and in front of Penang VIP's. =) Along with us will also be performances by ocean of fire and many more fun stuff to look forward to. On a side note, at 8:30 pm there's the Jazz festival countdown and G spot.
   
2. 22nd November 08, Komtar Dome, 3:00 pm : This one is amazing. I will be singing with the Japanese philharmoic ochestra. Only 2 songs, but its an opportunity I am so blessed to be offered. Check it out if you wanna. Free entrance!!!

Notice

This weekend, I'll be starting later in Eclectic.

The time for the band to start has been changed so many times! But this is only for this month.

This weekends, performances will start at 10:15 and end at midnight because the play ID is beginning and as you know, I will be acting in it =)

So this weekend performances are delayed and shortened and also the unplugged session which happen on Sundays will be canceled for the next 3 weeks... Sigh....

Also, next weekend, ID will be performing in KL so I will not be in Eclectic and will be replaced by Maya Hanum; new discovered talent. She's good! Check her out next weekend 24th and 25th at Eclectic.

More stuff coming up soon!

Multitasking

Been so busy lately with everything, but coping rather well. =) It's to good doing something you love!

Not only have I been singing but I have been rehearsing for a play that will be showcased in Octobed in Actors Studio, Green Hall, Penang and also in Actors Studio, Bangsar, Kuala Lumpur.

For the Penang show, the dates are the 17th, 18th and 19th October.

Fingers crossed that it wont rain!

I will also be performing with The Frequency Band after they perform with the fabulous Rozz d' Diva. A couple of songs, but it'll be fun!

ALSO try out the Nasi Lemak that will be sold. Really.. for someone who doesn't eat much, I can have 3 servings.

=) See you there!

Holton ton ton ton!!!

Saturday morning was a big rush to get to KL in time for sound check which of course got delayed. A normality all musicians are use to, but wishfully thinking that it will some day change. =)

During sound check, or more to say before I started singing, a couple went up on stage and they were sooo good! Just a random statement. =)

Anyway, the band accompanying me, or more to say who invited me down was Adil Johan [sax], Hero[bass], Alex[drums] and Terrance[keyboard]. I just have to say how professional they were! I prefer having practises before performances of course, but certain circumstances forced it to be a last minute thing where by practise was actually during sound check.

Considering we only had an hour to practise, we did really well! First time meeting the band, they made me feel right at home.

The performance started really well. Only thing was that I was not dressed "enough" for the wedding. It was a very traditional wedding. I felt out of place but was re-assured that it would be OK. THANKFULLY!

The songs went good, especially the jazz ones that we weren't able to practise but went better then any of the other onces we did. The songs requested were nice too. Really hard to sing, but I had a good time doing them.

It was fantastic to work with them. I had a great time. =) And yet again! No pictures....

Traders

Saturday, 23 August 2008 was spent in a private function in Georgetown for the Penang Bar council. The preparation for this function has been going on for months and we were booked months ago.

Spunk unit [Leanord Selva, Sam, Jonathan Scully, Kelvyn Yeang and help from a friend, Kenny] and myself were to play for this show. 3 sets, each set to be 45 minutes long.

So the song requests were sent in, the sound check went rather ok, some payments were made and the hotel room was sufficient for 4 people at a time. Hehe!

We were ready to go at 8 : 30 pm and kicked the night off pretty well.

After 2 sets, we were given a one hour set to relax and mingle while comedy central went on full swing. We got the chance to get to know some of the marinated and some new lawyers and I even knew some! Whooho!

Third set was rocking and we were lost in a world of our own. =)

Ended the night in Bagan to celebrate with my band. Something like a celebration and a farewell to Sam [bass] who is leaving to England soon. =( Too bad no pictures were taken!

House singah!

Alrighty then!
