Wow. I survived the 2 days. It wasn’t just the performance jitters I
had to face, I mean the jitters came to me only after 4pm, because
before that, I had to DIY a lot of things…for a start, I had to deliver
my cds to Gramophone myself (all thanks to Fabrice who helped to carry
the heavy boxes for me), erm, I even had to type out my own delivery
order, rush down to Mediacorp to pass my cds to Chongqing and Lilian,
and blah blah blah..So I didn’t really had time to worry about the
performances.
I think the 1st evening was not as good as I want
it to be cos I was soooo nervous. Yes, for me I need to have home-grown
feeling like some footballers; I don’t perform at Esplanade as often as
at certain hotel ballrooms. The 2nd set on the 1st evening was much
better already. But the 2nd evening was even better. Here are some pics
from the 1st evening; thanks to ZQ who took these photos with his
mobile phone (will post more when I get more pictures from others). The
last one was taken by Shoujie during post-rehearsal lazing-around time
while waiting for Matthew to get ready lol:
Matthew
(piano & bass), Tien-yao (guitar), Jon Lim (saxophone) and Shoujie
(violin) really did an excellent job to bring out my music. I felt the
"alive" feeling in my heart when we were rehearsing….wow! How cool that
would be if my album is so acoustic!
First of all, I have to say
a big thank you to each and everyone who came specially for this
launch. Really, thank you. Without you, this wouldn’t have been so
successful. I am also very amazed by passer-bys who bought my cds on
the spot, thank you so much. There was even one from Israel (Yes Alex,
I remember you!).
Thank you for buying my cd and spreading the word around, it means a lot to me.
My next challenge is probably to find more performance opportunities so that more people can hear me live.
And
I was thrilled when Chong Qing from 93.3fm introduced this album and
played "When I’m 80? on-air at around 6:16pm on Thu! Wow. I passed
the cd to him only that afternoon, that was really fast.
This is just the beginning. Let’s go!
