• Facing My Fears

  Wednesday, Apr 23, 2008 8:39AM / Standard Entry

  
  Ok, I just wanted to say that I had a great time on Sunday night.  Jun's concert just blew me away.  I really enjoyed the songs and the musicians were just amazing!  It was the first time I got to hear Jun perform and I don't know how he can sing and play drums at the same time.  That must take a lot of coordination...which for some reason...even if I am a dancer....I can't seem to  snap my fingers while I sing....ya, retarded..I know...anyways, I really liked the setting of the whole show because it was intimate, casual, and made me feel like I was no longer in HK.  And it was great to see my big bro Terence (not by blood)  and my friends from Audiotraffic amongst this very talented all star team.  oh...and I must not forget Eugene Pao!  It was really nice to get to finally meet Eugene for the first time at the after party.  What a down to earth guy!
  
  Speaking of the after party..it completed the night when some of the guys decided to randomly jam.  I'm always amazed when people can just get up and jam....it's very inspiring to watch them all have such a great time...but, it has to be one of my greatest fears as a performer.  I hate it when I'm at a club or bar where there is live music...and my friends tell me to go up and sing.  I don't think they know what a big deal it is....I'm a perfectionist when it comes to performing...and I really need a lot of rehearsal before I can sing in front of ANYONE!  I think part of my phobia comes from when I was studying musical theatre in NYC.  Everyone I knew had the best voices ever!  They all could belt really high and a lot of them had that raspy sultry voice that I've always wanted.  But, me?  I had this cartoon kid voice with no vibrato....and even now I'll hear people say...wow you really improved since the last time I heard you sing.....ok, what does that mean?  Did I suck before and you just pretended that I was good?  LIAR!!  Anyways....the point is...later on when most people had left already..."SOMEONE" (and I KNOW it was you) said..."is there a singer in the house!"....and all eyes were pointing to me....so, I got up and ran out the door!  When I came back in...Patrick and Tracie were encouraging me to go up...my heart was just pounding with fear....me?  Jam with Jun, Eugene, Adrian...and this Brazilian pianist that I'm sorry I don't remember his name....um, no...I don't think so...
  of course, Tracie had to scream out "FEVER!"...and the music started.....ok...I had to choose...lose face as a coward?  or...suck it up and hope to God that I don't freak out and mess up.  So....I went up...and it was so much fun!  I was a bit held back and felt embarrassed....because, well..I never know when it's going to end...but..I had this real high being up there with these great musicians..and at the same time, I hoped that the song would hurry up and finish before I made any mistakes....but, it was a great end to the night...it was definitely an improvement to my normal self.....so...hopefully, overtime...this sort of thing won't freak me out so much...and it will be even more enjoyable to me....I guess, all I really need is experience....by the way...it looks like I'm planning on moving back to HK....
  

  
  

  
  

  我只是想告訴你，我這個星期天過得非常愉快，
  Jun的演唱會把我完完全全吸引住了。那些歌那些音樂真的是太棒

  了，這是我第一次看Jun的表演，我真的不知道他怎麼能一邊打鼓同時一邊唱，這須要配合得很好才行...某種原因...就算我是個舞蹈演員....我都無法一邊唱一邊用手指打拍子....我知道自己簡直像是個傻瓜...不管怎麼說，我真的很喜歡整個座位的安排，那種漫不經心的親密，我幾乎忘了自己在香港，太高興能見到我的大哥尹子衞，（雖然我們並沒有任何血源關係）和我的一些很又天賦的音樂界的朋友聚在一起，哦...我不能忘了提到
  Eugene
  Pao!演唱會結束後，在慶功宴上，終於有機會能認識Eugene，那是這世界上最完美的事了。
  
  說到慶功宴..演唱會完了，大家還餘興未了，有人提議即興爵士演唱，我一直都覺得很不可思議，人們能夠隨時站起來就可以即興唱....看到他們唱得那麼興奮也讓我也開始激動...但是作為一個表演者，這是我最怕的，我最不喜歡我那些朋友在俱樂部或者是酒吧裡一聽到有人奏樂就叫我上去唱了，他們縂認為沒什麼大不了，他們不明白對我來說，表演是我的專業，我必須排練得非常成熟才能唱給別人聽，我想這和我當初在紐約受過音樂劇專科訓練有很大的關係。每一個我認識的人都有付好嗓子，他們可以唱很高音，一直都是我夢想能有的，但是我的嗓子卻像卡通片裡的小孩，沒有響亮的震音...甚至於到現在，每當人們告訴我，我比他上次聽我唱時進步了很多....我會忍不住想，你這麼說時什麼意思，是我以前唱得很差，或是以前你只是騙我說我唱得好呢？實際上....我的意思是...一直到人都走得七七八八了，有一個人（我知道是你)問..."還有沒有歌星在場啊!"....這時所有的人眼光都向我看來....我趕快站起身來跑了出去，但是當我再回來時...Patrick
  and Tracie拼命鼓勵我要我上去唱....想到我要和 Jun,
  Eugene,
  Adrian一起在臺上作即興爵士演唱是，我的心緊張得像是在打鼓似的...還有這位Brazilian鋼琴家（很抱歉我忘了他的名字...不...我想這是不可能的...結果，結果我的朋友
  Tracie大聲叫道"FEVER!"...跟著音樂開始了.....好......我必須選擇像小丑似的丟臉呢?還是...我只有求上帝保佑我不會暈過去，不會忘記歌詞
  ....我終於還是站了起來...我享受了從來沒有的快樂!我有一點緊張，有一點不好意思....因為我不知道什麼時候會唱完，...但是..能和這麼棒的音樂家在一塊，我真的是太興奮了，..同時，我希望可以趕快在我出錯之前唱完這首歌
  ....這是最完美的結局...對我來說是跨出了一大步，.....我希望,
  overtime..這小小的插曲讓我變得不正常了...只會讓我更陶醉，更享受音樂了....我想，我須要有更多這樣的經驗....還有...看起來我像是又打算搬回香港了....

• Berry Good

  Monday, Apr 21, 2008 9:48AM / Standard Entry

  Last week, I had the privilege of being one of the first people to sample taste "Berry Good's"  Berry good frozen yogurt.  The store has not yet open up to the public but it is under preparation for it's grand opening sometime this month. The owners of this joint are my good friend, Tracie Ng and her business partner, Jon Lee.  They decided to open this shop influenced by a trendy and hip yogurt shop in the states called "Pink Berry".  I must say....it is quite tasty!  I got to try 2 different flavors...plain and my favorite, blueberry. YUM!  Once the shop opens they will also have different toppings to go along with the plain flavor or the flavor of the day.  I believe they are going to swap one flavor of the day each day.  Also, there will be free wireless provided at the shop!  The joint is in soho on that little slope next to the big Pacific Coffee.  I really hope everyone will go and support them.  I will keep you updated on the grand opening.  Here are some photos from the tasting. 
  
  上個星期我很榮幸地被邀請為第一批嘗試 "Berry
  Good's"的酸乳格的味道，其實"Berry
  Good“還沒有正式對外營業，但是他們正籌劃這個底前開幕

  ，其中的一位老闆Tracie
  Ng是我的好朋友。她和她的工作夥伴Jon
  Lee之所以會開這個店，是因為他們受到美國有一家非常有名的酸乳格店
  "Pink
  Berry"的影響。我必須告訴大家的是，”真的很好吃“，那天我試了兩種不同的味道...原味的和我最喜歡的藍梅。
  YUM!哇！等到店正式對外營業後，在原味的酸乳格上還可以加上不同的料，另外每一天都會有當天的特別介紹。我相信他們一定會讓大家嘗試到不同的味道，而且他們店裡還提供了免費無線上網。他們的小店是開在
  soho那間大 Pacific
  Coffee的旁邊，我希望大家都能去支持他們。我會讓大家知道他們什麼時候正式開張。另外這兒有一些我們那天試吃時拍的照片。

• Jewelry photo shoot

  Friday, Apr 18, 2008 9:29AM / Standard Entry

  On Tuesday I had the pleasure of working with my favorite photographer and friend, Anna Przeplasko.  She is the one who took photos for my cabaret last year and since then I have loved taking photos with her.  Eugenia and I helped a few friends out by taking these photos for their upcoming jewelry launch in Lane Crawford.  It was the first time I got to take photos with my sister and it was really fun.
   
  We started the day at the salon at 10am in Causeway Bay doing make up and hair...and then headed to a studio in Chai Wan for the shoot.  It was fun working with the ladies....the fan wasn't too fun because it was so cold and my contacts were drying out..but, other than that....I'd say that it was a successful shoot!  I've posted the photos...have a look! 
  
  星期二，我的好朋友，也是我最喜歡的攝影師 Anna Przeplasko.
  幫我和我的大姐原麗淇拍照，去年我在廟街美都茶餐廳做迷你音樂會

  時，海報上的那些照片是 Anna幫我拍的，那以後我就開始特別喜歡她為我拍照，這一回我和我姊姊是幫她的一個好朋友在 Lane Crawford.珠寶展拍宣傳照，也是第一次我和我姊姊一起拍照，是一個非常有趣的經驗。

• HK FILM AWARDS and my new boyfriend

  Monday, Apr 14, 2008 8:13AM / Standard Entry

  I posted up the photos from last night's HK Film awards.  It was fun getting ready with the family.  We were so rushed though....it was pretty funny watching my mom panic that we were running late.  I'm secretly happy that Kel (hairstylist) took his time.  Otherwise, we'd be there at exactly 6pm ..and I'd have to wear those heels for 1 more hr!  hahaha....with our timing last night, we were there long enough to walk the red carpet and once we got to the theatre the show started...PERFECT!  It was pretty fun presenting an award with mom and Eugenia.  I think it's the first time.  I kind of messed up my Cantonese..but, oh well!  It was a fun night mainly because my dress was so beautiful!!!  Thanks to Dior!  Thus, the many many photos of me in the dress...poor Harry...I made him take as many as possible.  hahaha....
  
  

  原子鏸獨自出門 悉心打扮約會運動型猛男(圖)

  http://news.sina.com 2008年04月12日 19:06 北京新浪網

  　　新浪娛樂訊 自與鄧健泓(聽歌)分手後，原子鏸(blog)感情一直未有著落，不過，前晚(4月11日)她悉心打扮，穿上低胸小背心與一名運動型猛男撐台腳！

  　　前晚10時許，原子鏸獨自在香港的鏞記門外出現，並急步前往威靈頓街一幢大廈，上樓不足5分鐘，一位黑實猛男便陪伴她離開。二人邊走邊談前往附近取錢。打扮性感的原子鏸，身材玲瓏浮凸，沿途吸引不少目光，但她未有理會，取錢後與男伴返回大廈撐台腳。男友人不時逗原子鏸說笑，但她反應不大，至11時許便由2名女友人陪伴下先行離開。(俐俐/文)

  

  On another note, a good friend of mine forwarded this article to me....according to the newspapers, I have a new boyfriend....and OH WAIT!  It looks like.....Harry!  YUCK!  Why on earth would I be dating my brother!  How hilarious is that!  I wonder who my next boyfriends will be?  Maybe my cousin?  Or maybe my gay friend from NY? Let's wait and see.....

• Elle Magazine

  Wednesday, Apr 9, 2008 6:41PM / Standard Entry

  So, my trip to Hong Kong has actually turned out to be quite busy...and a good trip.  I think going to New York and San Francisco at the beginning of the year really helped me recharge. 

  On Monday I had an interview with "Elle" magazine for their Mother's Day issue.  Every year it never fails....I'm always asked to do interviews or jobs with my mom.  And the funny thing is that I get asked the same questions over and over again.  I always wonder if people get bored of hearing the same thing. I know I do....I go on autopilot after answering things over and over again....anyways...while my mother is probably one of the best role models and my best friend whom I share everything with...I've had the urge this year to really start to grow up.  I've been way too dependent on her....and it shelters me from the rest of the world....from discovering things on my own.   I gotta suffer a little to be better at things...been way too spoiled.  So, this trip, I've been very independent in working on things without her.  Wow...FINALLY, I'm growing up. ....it's about time! 

  I'll post up photos from the shoot once I get them downloaded.
