Hi everyone! Finally I got the time (probably i'm lazy) to blog again! Been doing another project from Esplanade, This time, with a company from Italy, presenting the Children Cheering Carpet, a show called 'The Japanese Garden'.

official website: http://www.tpo.it

Fantasic concept and method to interact with the young audience. Its actually a carpetted area with animations, and touching sensors underneath the carpet. Completed by two contemporary dancers as the performer and guide for the children participating.

They first presented a simple story with the animations, then handpick a couple of the children to try out the carpet themselves. 6 shows in total and every single of them were successful! I'm so glad everytime I see the children having so much fun exploring the carpet themselves.

And after the shows everyday, I'd be a tourguide and bring the crews and members around Singapore for food and sightseeings. I really love doing this and trust me I'm really good at it. The fact that my father, who is based in Hong Kong and has his business mainly from mainland China, often has friends or business partners whom likes to go on a holiday trip to Singapore. And whenever that happens, he will get me to come in touch with them and try to spare some time to bring them around. I'm soooo seasoned a tourguide I guess hahaha!

Well, time flies and TPO company had returned back to Italy early this morning. Though I was extremely burnt out over these days, I've enjoyed to the fullest the time spent with you people! Beautiful people! I'll miss you all! Valentina, Andreas, Saolo! Viola and Barbara! These few days, I'd be taking a short break before going back to Esplanade again for yet another project again. This time, an orchestra from the UK, Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.

Do drop by to look out for me if you're free ok? haha.

I'm planning to upload some of my recorded cover songs. Should i do that?

Been working at The Esplanade as mentioned at the previous post and i've been so busy i've got no time to update my blog. Plus youtube had been giving me problems that i can't upload anything. Finally able to do one video of my performances, also at Esplanade early this month. With Angel, song written by Feihui Laoshi, 关于爱情.

My work there involves being an artistes' tour guide and bring them to and fro their hotel, to the venue and assist them in every needs they have. In short, Personal assistant. Its quite a cool part time job that I guess i'm actually able to learn alot on the backstage side.

My project involves working with Zai Kuning, Dickson Dee and Otomo Yoshihide, from Singapore, Hong Kong and Japan respectively. On a recent showcase of experimental music piece 'Books from Hell'

I really enjoyed my time with those guys and listening to the 3 different form of music being beautifully placed together by minimal electronica, free jazz and extreme noise.

I'm really looking forward to working on more projects with The Esplanade again in October.

Lastly, to wrap this blog, just finishing uploading second video of a recent performance at Yishun CC, singing duet again with Jeremy. Good night

Did I ever mention that I work part-time for The Esplanade?

I'm gonna be missing for quite some time as I had taken up a couple of projects from them on the admin side. Starting off the first project from Wednesday, which is tomorrow for ten days, all the way till next Friday.

I can't upload videos up to youtube. No idea why. when I click 'start uploading', it will just stuck there forever. Any solutions?

Anyway, here's a picture of how the performance at the esplanade looked like on 2nd September, We looked wierd.

Been missing for more than a week busy with rehearsals, some school performances and more rehearsals. My apologies!

Last Saturday's Natsu Matsuri was fun and as i do every year, to participate in Bon Odori dances and to enjoy the atmosphere of Japanese culture here in Singapore. Bad weather caused the event to be held indoor. Therefore performances and Bon odori dances are all held in the Japanese School's Sports Hall. Fun lessen sad to say.

I tried my first ever 'goldfish netting' (due to complaints received by Singapore's SPCA, toys were used to replace real goldfish) and 'yoyo fishing' after falling in love with japanese culture for 15 years! You know, i hate to queue and usually those games takes long time to queue. Jess and I were lucky to be able to so called cut queue thanks to friends and low in crowd at that point of time. Videos included! Check out the link here!

JMD, better known as Adorythmatics to the Japanese association committees, had once again done proud by putting up a superb performances and seriously did wow the crowd. It always makes me feel regretful not able to get the time to commit into practice with my brothers and sisters and to put up a performance together once again. Nevertheless, I'm really glad to see everybody performing well!

Last Saturday aside, Today is my first ever performance at the Esplanade! (photos and videos up few days later i guess). I really have to thank teacher for giving me this oppotunity to be able to perform at such a grand location. I'm sorry if I didn't perform well. The crowd was pretty bad too. Oh well, i'll still take this as a very precious experience. And more to come!

Good night people
