I traveled to Penang for something amazing.
This:
It was a three day whirlwind and I loved every moment of it.
I remember when I walked into the stage room and saw the set up, I fell in love. It was meant to look like home, and with a bit of props from my own home, it really did feel good.
Shoes on the floor, a bean bag, a couch, a lamp and cookie monster. All we needed to get the party started. So at soundcheck the band and I took the time to get use to the space and relax and try out the sound and lighting. With just a little twerks here and there we got it all sorted out.
The day of the show was upon us and after much rest and good eating, we got ready and headed to the stage. Pen Pac was so lovely to us to provide lodging for the whole band in their lovely bungalow which we loved!
Then the show began, people filled in and we kicked off with an Erykah Badu tune to warm the band up, and off we went. For almost 2 hours I told the story of what lead me down this road of music. My trials were put on a silver platter for everyone to see, kind of like a musical based on my life so far.
Of course when the night ended, we partied it up Penang style! =) What a weekend!
BIG thank you to John de Silva, Penang PAC, all the crew, Jimmy Tan, Laura Lim, David Ling and Jack Lian for being absolutely brilliant and helping me though this, keeping me calm and allowing the journey I have taken to be a smooth one.
