i spent my birthday in Beijing amidst JJ rehearsals!









and Peking Duck!!!




He-he Peking Duck!!



and a super memorable night jamming with David and Jim in a small pub where we shared music, laughter and some booze :)


and of course my favourite 麻辣雞翅﹗﹗﹗




surprise cake from the Man himself! how sweeeet!




a rare group shot of the band!!! ^_^

thankful for such good times :)
last tour was in FEBRUARY!!!

I had an awesome time working with the incredibly popular, but humble and sweet Christian Bautista, hope to sing this with him again soon :)



When I first heard about singing with Christian Bautista, I immediately recalled his hit song "The Way you Look at Me" :)

I was tasked to write the Mandarin lyrics for my parts, and I took on the challenge immediately!

My producer Tat Tong and I rushed them out in 2 days... here it is!
It was not easy thinking of matching the Mandarin parts with the English parts, and especially when we had to work in the Mandarin bits into the harmonies.

I'm glad Christian took to the challenge and sang the last bit in Mandarin!

Please Be Careful With My Heart
Music: Jose Marie Chan
Lyrics: 鄭可為/唐宏達/Jose Marie Chan

脆弱的心 交給了你
請對我小心翼翼
你我之間 跨越界限
哪怕距離多遙遠

不管地动山移 改变不了我的坚定
And 'til life is through 我始终跟隨你
不管歲月來襲 相信永恒的美丽
From the very start 答應我永不分離

I love you and you know I do
There'll be no one else for me
Promise I'll be always true
For the world and all to see

Love has heard some lies softly spoken
And I have had my heart badly broken
I've been burned
And I've been hurt before

So I know just how you feel (和你一起)
Trust my love it's real for you (愛你需要勇氣)
I'll be gentle with your heart
I'll caress it like the morning dew

I'll be right beside you forever
I won't let our love fall apart
From the very start
I'll be careful with your heart

不管地动山移 (地动山移)
改变不了我的坚定 (我們的坚定)
That 'til life is through, I'll still be loving you
不管歲月來襲 (歲月來襲)
相信永恒的美丽 (永恒的美丽)
From the very start (From the very start)
From the very start
From the very start 答應我永不分離
答應我永不...分離

Meeting him for the first time and we had to act like lovers! :p *shy*

Some behind the scenes pictures here... :)

hello from beijing :)

i received a bittersweet piece of news while rehearsing for JJ's tour here,
when my good friend Buwei from my ZPGY gang texted me saying,
"sistic said only 2 tickets left! i need 9 tickets! how??"

i redirected him to my manager but to no avail,
the seats were limited and my ZPGY cannot get tickets to my show!!! :(

But I still want to thank you for your love and support...!

but it is GOOD NEWS NEVERTHELESS!!!
thank you early birds for getting your tickets early, i can't believe it's SOLD OUT!

7 days to the show...
we are working hard for your money's worth!!! hehe

seeya!!!

a while ago, i posted this on Facebook.

最近都很忙。。。專輯的曲風大家會不會喜歡? 新造型大家會不會不習慣? 想念無憂無慮﹐唱歌放上Youtube的日子。

i seldom blog at length about what goes through my mind nowadays,
instead i condense them into 140 characters or thereabouts.

but things are brewing, brewing.
double-boiled goodness to be served straight up, come September!

before it all explodes onto the big screen,
i want to say -
i miss the simple, carefree me who could appreciate and draw poetic wisdom from all little things.
i miss the space to sit down and write songs about all this little inspirations.

i'm twirled up in the messy sheets on this bed of commercial entertainment,
but part of me wants to tear through and show you how i look in the nude.

still,
for the first time in my life,
i am stylishly dressed,
my hair and makeup preened to perfection,
and i feel a strong urge to readdress my shopping instincts
and to revamp my wardrobe!

i am definitely enjoying this sartorial revolution!

i was pleasantly surprised to hear from Esplanade that about 50% of the tickets have been sold!!!

and Esplanade hasn't even sent out their flyers yet!

a big THANK YOU to all of you who have already bought your tickets!
i am so excited about this!

we've just sent the tracks for mastering in Tokyo, it's bound for Bernie Grundman's studio!

we are working hard to get the album out in time for this show,
so you would be able to buy it on 27 August itself before it hits the stores!

You can buy tickets here, or see more info on the Facebook event page :)

thank you once again for your support!
let's sell-out this concert FAST!!!
