Yes I have not updated my blog in 2 months!!!!! So so so sorry!
Anyway, just to inform you guys that I just finished a really big show in KL and I had a blast! I was the opening act for singers such as Kris Dayanti and Dato' siti Nurhaliza and met tons of wonderful people like Dee and many more. It was a whole new experience, but not something I am new to, as I had grown up watching my dad do this.
In the past two months, I have done a few weddings, a few birthdays and a few functions; raging from big shows to an audience of just 7 people, I had fun with all of them. I have met so many musicians and I am honored to be added to their facebook! Hehe!
Speaking of the necessity which is now facebook, do join the fan club which has been made for me by a friend of mine. All the updates of my performances will be up there as well as here [yes, I promise I will update this page more often! =)]
So for the month of May, I have been booked for a few private shows [mostly weddings] but the biggest highlight for this month so far is my debut in BANGKOK JAZZ, in Kuala Lumpur on the 15th and 16th of May.
So come on down and check out my performance with none other the Adil Johan Quartet! Yes, it is going to be a lot of fun!
More shows coming up soon, No Black Tie in June should also be checked out! I will also be making an appearence in G spot this weekend [1st and 2nd of May] so if you feel like chilling out somewhere, come on over!
More updates to come!

3rd Feb 09
On the 3rd of this month, I was singing in a private function in Mount Pleasure. What a way to kick off the month!
It was not an easy show. It was for a very tiny group, 8 people I would say.
Teh challenege of this show was that there was no sound systme available and it was just Daniel and myself singing and performing with nothing to amplify our sounds.
And so, this is where all the physical training get put into play. By the end of every song I was panting!
But it was an experience. The house was gorgeous and our host was really good to us. I would say this is my first really private function. =)
By the end of the night, I was so tired, I just wanted to go home and sleep. Got home, cleaned up and hit the sack!! =)

On the 10th of January, I was given the opportunity to perform with AJQ in KL and the only way I can describe this night is … mind blasting!
Having one night to practise, one day to get ready and half an hour to get dressed, it was a night that I have now set as a bench mark. It was a good show with a brilliant crowd and good good good music!
Songs
Georgia – Ray Charles
Mr Man – Alicia Keys
Sexy back – Justin Timberlake
Please Baby don’t – John Legend
You’ve got a friend – James Taylor
Come together – Beatles
Listen – Adil
Cant stop – Adil
Summertime – Billy Holiday [and many more.. don’t know who the original singer is…]
I will survive & heartbreaker – Aretha Franklin & Will-i-am.
Something something – Adil
Days of wine and roses – dunno
Just friends – Musiq Soulchild
I think there were more songs, but it was all very blurry and I cant quite remember everything that happened! I fell down some stairs, as usual. But nothing too embarrassing.
Lots of people came, and I thank you from the bottom of my kembang heart for coming and supporting and having such a good time with me!
Next stop, who knows! =) will inform you soon!
As time goes by...
Christmas and New Years have come and gone with a mighty BANG; well, easier to just say that December came and went with a BANG with non stop shows and work and just getting things settled.
Shows included
Shows included
- The Penang Island Jazz Festival
- No Black Tie
- Penang Heritage Night
- the opening of Pacific mall
- Christmas
- New years
It was a non stop role with work and performances and traveling here and there and it was loads of fun!!!
Performing at the jazz festival was honestly my resolution for the year 2008 and being able to be in the presence of some of the best musicians in Malaysia and from other parts of the world put me on a natural high so strong I am still smiling like a goof. =)
No black tie was a treat. Performing there as a guest artist along with Adil Johan Quartet [AJQ] opened doors to many offers in KL so I owe him a big big thank you makan makan. KL friends came to support me and for that too I am also grateful.
The Penang Heritage Night was a rush as I had to run back to work after performing only 2 songs. But the crows was supportive and cheered me on.
The opening of Pacific mall which is now in Komtar happened on my birthday, so it was a rather cool way of starting my 21 year old journey; singing for the chief minister dan lain lain. Was pretty cool...
Christmas and New Years at Eclectic was fantastic. Spent with friends and family, it was all I could ask for. No hustle and bustle and jams and cover charge.. =) just loved ones.
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!
- 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.

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!
