If it's money you are seeking, you shouldn't even be considering a career in the music business in the first place. Money is only a side benefit that may or may not ever materialize. The true reward is to be able to share your creative talents with an appreciative audience! Cheers!
Alright, I had sometime to do a song video for this song. 周杰倫 - 说了再见. Personally like it alot. So I decided to make a fast one. Haha. Gonna get back to my lyrics writing for my own songs. =[ Hopefully I'm selected for the Jay Chou Imitating Competition this coming 5th of May.. Still no news from them. Argh~ My VIP concert tix. Oh well. Last day of submission is tmr. So we shall see in the next few days. Happy with life, happy with friends. Happy with family. =] God Bless! =]

Stardust2010 Finals
This song pretty much sums up my life right now. I'm quite happy with my life right now, just going about doing my own stuff. I learnt 1 thing, it's really important not to announce you are attached. You really will lose some fans. =[ Not that I'm going to get attached soon anyway. Sorry Bel, once again, I wanna say I made the wrong decision regarding something. Wanna apologise again. =] Have a listen while you read up this blog entry. =]
Last month Hp bill was 300bucks.. Crap man.. Wasted those calls for nothing. Zzz. Alright, few days back, went to have KTV session with Shino, Weiliang and Ivan. He came awhile and left. Asshole left his house key at his workplace, had to rush back to get it. Lol. Was suppose to be a nice simple fun day, but kinda spoilt by something which I don't wanna mention. Always this Lin Da Lang post. >.<" Long time friends. =] Weiliang. Always so happy to take pic with me. Wahaha. Who put the remote control there? Blame me again? Lol. She was suppose to go Powerhouse or something to do an event. Those events girl kinda thing, and she could have got a BACKSTAGE PASS to Jay Chou's concert..
Instead she stayed to sing.. Wah kaoz. Bimbo. Missed me too much right? Wahaha. Went into JB again with Joe after that for supper. Haha. Another nice meal. I think sooner or later my passport is full of Msia chops.
Have been trying to be discipline by staying at home for the Stardust2010 finals. Yesterday rehearsals wasn't good. And today when I went for full dress rehearsal, the sound engineer forgot my plan for my performance. I was suppose to sing the chorus once without music, then comes in the music after I finish my last sentence. Luckily all went pretty well for my actual performance. Sad thing is even though I got good feedbacks from the judge, 黎沸辉 Laoshi. For good vocals and quite a good performance, just a lack of showmanship, I never won anything. Haha. Not even 3rd. Maybe its the voting system again. Winner~ Nice performance~ Miao ru. 2nd place, Michelle. 3rd place, Indonesian guy~ Agung. Indra. Arthi Farthi. Lol. Jacklyn. Faliq, also a great dancer from Freekzy Nutz. One of the best dance group in SG. Cherelle. The dressing room is much better than most places I have been to. Including that of 星光大道 or MediaCorp. Spacious and nice. I had to reach at 2.15pm. From that time to 7pm... I. Was. Just. Sitting. There. Watching. The. Gals. Doing. Their. Makeup!!! They could see I was so bored that they had to entertain me..
I realised without knowing, that I have been trying to challenge myself with bigger songs during competitions. 世界唯一的你 this kinda songs is already a normal song for me. I realise that I have been challenging myself, not with others, but not just do safe songs and try to win it. But do songs like Superwoman, big numbers and try to win it. Still not able to perfect it for a live competition performance. Doubt I'll be doing that anymore. Haha.
Alright though I didn't win. I'm glad my singing competition days are over.. Finally have time to focus on my Ep Album. Half done. Arrangements and stuff, just need to change some lyrics and I'll be recording it in no time. Oh, and the 2 Jay Chou competitions. Which I won't have to put in much effort to practise. ^^ Hopefully win the 2 pairs of tickets. Heehee~
PS: Thanks for those who came down and I didn't really talk much with. Thanks for coming without asking. I had fun. Hope you guys too~ =]

Trip to JB
Start of this post with a video.
A Jay Chou fan wrote this song hoping he would either hear it or someday sing it. They approached me through my youtube channel and asked to sing it. Such wonderful fans of his eh? And its a pretty good song. Have a listen to it. Imagine Jay's voice or at least me imitating him singing this song. Haha. Won't it be nice? I really like how they wrote some parts of the lyrics. So yeah, I might most probably be singing it after my finals. Jay Chou fans FTW!! =]
Went to Focus Music to practise for Stardust2010. Finalist were to rehearse once with the music teacher, our very own Jeff Teay. Hahaha.
First time that he actually gave opinion about how I should go about singing a song. Cause usually we just go and sing and I do it my way. But now he is the vocal teacher. And it's a competition after all. So it's nice to hear someone else's opinion.
Was actually rehearsing 新不了情 but decided to change it when I heard some of the finalist singing "power" songs. Haha. So I picked "Superwoman". Really wanna win this competition as this will be the last singing competition I'm gonna take part in. Time to focus on my Ep Album and stuff. Hard to concentrate on the songwriting and stuff when I have competitions going on.
After that Joe came to pick me up and we went to fetch Sebas, Cat and Sta to go for our JB trip. Sal was to meet us at the check point with her friends. But we didn't really click well with her friends so we decided to go for our Makan trip on our own. I prefer the slow and steady pace of having the ability to choose where and when I wanna eat. =]
This was our last stop. We actually had alot of food before we stopped by this place for desserts. The pics are with Sta. It was a feast and as usual we forgot to take pics till we're done eating them. Wahaha. Happily looking at the menu while Joe took some pics. Sebas with his "steam" look. Digging into his Yam Snow. Thats my Banana Ship. Lol. I thought its usually call Banana Split? They said I posed like a happy kid with my Ice cream. >.<"
That's Joe's Fruit Snow. Lots of fruits in it. Cat and Sta got too full eating the BBQ food and stuff, so they decided to share this Chocolate Snow. Sebas got tired of eating it bit by bit. So he stir the ice (which is something similar to Ice Kachang) into a puddle and drank it. Lol.
Overall, it was a fun day spent with funny people. Especially when Cat and Sebas keeps making fun of each other. Wahaha. Entertainment~
Went to have a Japanese meal today with Joe. As usual he came to pick me up. Such a nice guy. Yesterday we picked Sebas up at AMK, Cat at hougang, Sta at Tampines before heading to JB and he was ok with that. Cause we were craving for Ramen. Haha, we were late. Reached Central Mall (the one at Clarke Quay MRT right?) There's actually this place called The Helipad. At the rooftop of that mall. A chill out place with an open top looking down at the clarke quay nightspots and Singapore River. We went to take a peep, but decided I prefer to eat my Ramen. Haha.
Went to find my Ramen, but both the restaurants I wanted to eat were close. Left with Ajisen Ramen. Bleah~ Decided to go Clarke Quay to see if they have any other nice Japanese Restaurant.
At the end of the last bridge which is near Attica, there's this one called Tomo Izakaya. We were really hungry and ordered quite a few items. Haha.
There are different type of seats. The one with a more Japanese feel or The normal tables and chairs which is what we chose. Their dinner time is from 6pm-1am. ^^ The Menu cover is made of wood. Soft-shell crab sushi. Lotus Root Chips. Tastier than potato chips, healthier too. Not too oily. Haha. Unagi Handroll. Burdock Chips. I really dono how to describe the taste. Its kinda crunchy? I forgot what its called. Lol. My usual tempura udon.
They serve free flow of greentea, hot or cold for just 2 bucks. Or you can order soft drinks which cost around 5bucks?
End it off with greentea ice cream with red beans as toppings. The price is pretty much the same as most Japanese restaurants. =]

Molested in Thai Pub.
Haha, Have been drinking everyday since Monday. Kinda relieving those moments before I got attached. Just having fun and doing my things. Writing songs at home and going out to unwind after that. As a songwriter, it kinda makes u depress when you wanna write a emo song. Cause you have to feel emo to be able to write better melodies or lyrics. And when you're done with it, you need to go out to unwind to cast out all the negative thoughts.
Went to Mango ( a Thai Pub ) with Cat, Sal, Joe and Sebas. And 2 of Sal's friends. I have been to so many Thai Pubs. Ratchada, Atlantis, Nana blah blah blah.. This one might be smaller in size but the crew does make you feel more comfortable, they are more friendly. Singers and Band members will come down and drink and chat with you.
Then they started to play a chinese song. Guess which song? 说好的幸福呢? Lol. Cat dared me to go up and sing. So I took the challenge. And was led on stage. Sang the song managed to impress people, and even their friends. After that Eugene asked me to drink like a few times? Lol. I gained a new fan. He'll be coming to support my Stardust2010 finals on the 23rd.
I got 120bucks of "flower" for my singing. Lol. Great supporters. I really appreciate it man. He bought me the 100bucks blue "flower". Joe.
Salena. Didn't expect her to buy me a "flower" too. Lol.
The one who dared me, and bought me a "flower" too. Hahaha. Cat.
My new friend/fan. Haha. Eugene.
While Sal accompanied Cat out for a smoke. A thai girl made an advance on me. Which I tried to brush off. Kept asking me if I have a girlfriend. I answered Yes! No use.. Then her octopus hands starts to do funny things.. She actually licked my ear and forced a kiss on me! Diu~ Sebas can't be bothered to help. Lol. Then came Cat and Sal. Even when she told her she was my girlfriend, she keep asking again and again, and even though she told her again and again she still hug me infront of them. Lol. Bei tahan. The reason why I hate going to Thai Pubs. Either the come grinding you like no tomorrow or something else.
I've come up with a nice song. Probably choosing it to be in my Ep Album. Totally something you guys never hear me doing before. Not your normal ballad.
I just wanna do a shout out to those who have stuck with me through thick and thin, through the tough times and never leaving when I really need you guys the most. Thanks alot. I shouldn't have wandered off from you guys everytime I have a girlfriend. Haha. I realised the most important people after my family is my close friends. And those that were so close to me, I shouldn't have let you guys worry for me. Even to the point of crying for me when I'm sad. That really touches my heart. I know along the way, I have hurted alot of people's feelings unintentionally. I will be strong from now on. I'll be Superman! Keep on fighting for my music too. Cause I'm also fighting for those who believes in me. I'll keep going! 加油! =]
Don't have to cry for me anymore. I'm happy now. You guys know who you are. Haha. Friends forever. Oh~ So cliche. Lol. And for those who smsed me or msned me. Don't worry for me anymore. I'm fine now. Its amazing. How I ignored you guys when I've a girlfriend yet you all will still come and message me when I'm alone and sad. Really appreciate it alot. =]
Ok, gotta stop writing the songs and focus on my finals. If you wanna see me in my finals. You can either msg me in facebook, msn or sms me if you have my number. It'll be held on the 23rd this month at Republic Poly. Or you can just head down there on that very day and purchase the ticket on the spot. It's 12 bucks a tix. Let me know if you're coming. So I can say Thank you personally for supporting me. Keep on fighting! Let's move forward together!
Gonna go out for a drink again with Jeff and Sebas tonight. Chill~ Omg. Monday to Friday.. What will it be tomorrow? Lol.

Happy Mother's Day~
Mother's Day won't have the same meaning to me anymore.. Now, how many of my readers are mothers here? Happy Mother's Day to you. =]
This is a long post. So I thought I'll put a music video for you to listen to while you read. =]
He/She thought he/she could find another person to replace the One.. Even with someone else, their heart is still with the old one. Song title- Another You/ John Rich You can watch the video again after you finish reading the blog. =]
Yesterday was the saddest day of my life.. Thanks Joe for the company and all the treats. You really made me felt like a king.. He fetch me from my house, to treating me to a very filling and delicious dinner.. I haven't been having the appetite to eat.. The most was one meal a day.. Can't sleep too.. All the things in life stacking one on top of the other.. Couldn't choose a better time to leave.. Thats the dinner treat. Haha, I dig in and after finishing then decided to take the pic.. Thats stingray, frog porridge, chicken wings for you!
Then he ferried me to my nightmare.. To a place that killed me slowly.. After that, we went boat quay to have a drink. I was the only one drinking as he still needs to drive. I felt bad for all the things he had done for me.. Thanks dude. Really appreciate it. I'm not used to being taken care of.. No wonder gals like to be treated like a princess. So this is what its like to be king. Except for the terrible nightmare.. Then he sent me to meet up with Cat and Sal.. Taking a big detour to do so.. What a nice fellow.
Thanks Cat and Sal.. It's kinda embarrassing to let you see me at my worse state for hours.. Just kneeling there and ***ing.. Haha.. Heart wrenching moment for me.. Thanks for the comforting words.. For trying to cheer me up..
Today is Mother's Day! Another few hours a day sleep for me.. Woke up from another nightmare.. For the past few days, I've only been able to sleep 2-3 hours a day.. My eyebags are popping out, from all the ***ing and lack of sleep. Why am I such an emotional person.. Maybe its for me to write better songs.. HAha.. I wished I could just walk out of something so easily..
To cover my eyebags, I bought this spec yesterday.. Guess I'll be wearing it for quite sometime, till i stop ***ing and cure my lack of sleep.
Jay Chou's new song. 超人不会飞。。 Even if I'm Superman.. I'm just a human..
Went to Parkway Parade for dinner celebration with my family and relatives.. Paramount Hotel to be exact. It was quite difficult to find that place. Though its just actually beside Mercure Hotel.. Paramount restaurant is under the Tung Lok Group.. Behind it, are all the sleazy pubs with those filipino ladies.. A whole lot of them. Yucks..
The food was so so.. Maybe its Mother's Day and its super pack, thus they couldn't prepare it well.. We ordered about 20 dishes?!! WTF?! I nearly died trying to stuff myself with the food.. *PHONE*.. Haiz..
Started off with this soup Scallops~ Prawns~ Soft Shell Crabs~ Pipa Duck! Fried Garoupa~ Nice! Cold Dish~ Salmon, Sushi and Fish with gravy~
This is just a start.. Then come all the salty dishes.. Bee hoon~ Minced Meat Pork~ Fried Squids~ Cereal Prawn, it wasn't as good as I hoped it would be..
Thats not all.. Much more to come.. I was already pretty full by then.. Even the pig in me is screaming too much!! Lemon Chicken~ Another soup.. You tiao with fish meat in it, and the Taiwanese delicacy, its spicy and salty, pretty good chicken.
Think we're done? No... MOre to come.. Is this really how the Chinese people eat?!
Salted fish with vegetables and I dono what else in it. Spicy and salty again.. Tasted pretty good if I have a bowl of rice.. Pork ribs.. Too full.. Didn't even touch a single piece of it.. Another soup!?!
Tofu, I only ate a slice..
Finally desserts.. Mango with sago~ Cute jellies with longan in it.
Seriously, eating so much, you think I would be happy.. They had KTV system inside the private room.. The songs my cousin chose to play doesn't sit well with my emotions.. =[ All the food I got to eat for the past 2 days, couldn't exchange for a simple meal of home cooked food... Ba Kut Teh or any simple dishes that I can enjoy with the one I love.. I remember the urge to eat Hokkien Prawn Mee at AMK, our favourite.. 15 mins into catching a movie, we just can't be bothered.. Rather go and have it and rush to watch the movies.. That meal or any meal taken at home taste 10 times better than restaurant food, is more filling than the food I have today..
I've been destine to live a single life. I think somewhere along Sec sch some bimbo cursed me or something.. Haha.. 1 thing I know, is never accept a girl who likes your singing, the lesser points she likes about you from the start, the more she'll like you as time goes by.. Who am I going to call with my house phone now. No one to act as strangers with.. So many things I have never done before, I did it.. But I won't get to do it anymore..
Never leave someone when they got nothing, when everything just came crushing down on them.. It's the worse time to leave a person.. When they don't really have anyone to turn to.. I'm only human.. Superwoman lyrics.. I'm only human.. I can only take so much... Sometimes I think God thinks I'm Superman.. Maybe He wants me to be Superman.. So that when I make it.. I can be an example to others.. That whatever shit comes my way, even when I have to walk this music journey Alone.. No matter how tough life is, I'll still see the rainbow after the storm... I wanna inspire people.. I hope to inspire people..
Through my music and through my testimony in life.. Hopefully, one day, I'll be able to do just that.. Be strong Willis Loye! Even if it means fighting alone! Glad for the friends God has given me.. Though I don't really like to confide to anyone..
Be happy, treasure the love one you have now. Be happy! =]
