Hi everyone! Just updating you all to see how you are all (and hoping at the same time that you all forgive me for hiding from the commenting for the past couple of days). Gosh I’ve been totally out of it for the past few days because of the whole society-accepted sanctioned torture end-of-year exam thing but this Thursday will be my last exam officially for 2007; Spring and Summer vacation hell yeah baby!! I really can’t wait because I can get stuck into all my Spring/Summer projects full time, do all these road trips I’ve been planning with all my friends (couple of weekend trips away and bike riding through the mountains) and basically go crazy but look amazing at the same time (so it all balances out).

The weather here has really been warming up now so images of summer in the sun and beaches are things that come to mind really easy..

Apart from that, I get the new songs back very soon and I’ll finally be able to sit down, choose the album tracks for the first album and wham, bam, thank you mam first album done and done! Phwoar… it’s been a very long process but you know what this means right? It means I can start my second album and totally rock out!!

Well unofficially here as I tend to group together springtime and summertime. Today was the first real day where I woke up (in new bedsheets heck yes!) and the sun was shining directly on my face. It was one of those rare moments where everything came together perfectly and I felt better knowing that I didn’t need to brush my hair as it doesn’t need it anymore given how short it is now.

The actual point of this update is that as this year winds down to a close and 2008 is just around the corner, there’s a lot of exciting new projects that are coming up, which I am involved in. The album will be officially finished after a long two-year recording process, and then I’ll be traveling, starting my second album, working with a few different organizations related to the album and public media, starting my very own talk show and organizing a few different off-shoot projects to keep myself busy and out of trouble. They certainly do call spring the season of new opportunities and sunshine so everyone hold your seats because I’m shifting from fourth to fifth gear!!

A quick apology to all those who left comments, I try to respond to them all everyday but lately there’s been a big rush of comments that I haven’t been able to keep up by myself. No matter as I sat down today and replied to each and everyone of the comments. Keep leaving them; I love reading and responding to your comments!

Finally as exams start in the next week for a lot of us (if they haven’t started already), I wish you all the best of luck. Keep hard at it and then enjoy the looooong holidays we all get after a long academic year (or half year for you guys who start your year in June/July).

Keep on truckin’!

Hi everyone! This update was actually written a few days ago whilst I was in Adelaide but I just remembered that I needed to push publish so that it would be sent all over the internet (which I remember use to be a word that was capitalized). I’ve been taking a break for a couple of days to spend some time with my history and to see my grass roots.

On the music front, the new songs are currently being mixed and its receipt should herald the finalization of the debut album tracks; I’m really excited about that as it will allow me to kiss my first baby and let it loose in this crazy world, and then start working on my next baby.

Oh before I forget, I also need to start thinking about the album cover art. If any of you guys have any pictures or see any pictures that you think would look good as concept photos for the album, let me know by emailing me or leaving a comment on this post. It can be anything from a way someone is posing to the color of the photo.

In the mean time, I’ve been rehearsing with X-Cape for the upcoming MVOSA Gala 2007 performance this Saturday. A couple of rehearsal videos have been uploaded which includes some singing and dancing so that should satisfy all you guys and gals emailing me asking me for updates!

I’ve also written a new song personally called “What Have We Done?” which I will tell you guys more about over the next few updates. Let’s just say, my professor let me write my essay as a song and I took her up on that opportunity; very cool.

I came back from the studio the other day recording vocals for two more songs and thought how interesting my musical journey has been. From thinking Britney Spears and *NSYNC were the height of music genius up until after year 12 (my music education didn’t begin until after I graduated high school) to starting singing lessons in the soul genre, my recording has moved from me thinking I was a hip hop artist to a clear pop singer to a fusion singer to an British pop singer and now to a more rock sound with lots of guitar work.

It goes without saying that I had to experience everything to get where I am today, and interestingly, I’m back to square one with different instruments.

These two songs will be added to the other four songs which will be mixed in Hong Kong and sent back to Australia when finished. Six new songs? Heck yes!

I’ve sneaked online a sample of what the front cover “may” look like. (There’s a few mistakes here and there and things that need to be tweaked but it is more or less what I’ve been looking for.)

Three more weeks until I leave for America to network and do the meet and greets. The songs for the first album are all coming together, with a great songwriting and production team behind it.

Until then, adios!
