It was so great to spend time with people you love.

Just brings me so much peace and happiness, you know?

I'm glad i spent it with my family and my extended family. :)

This Chinese New Year, i spent it in Penang.

It was wonderful, however i was stuck in that danggg traffic.

8 hours on the road is no joke!

Wonder if anyone else was in the same traffic jam?

Anyway, i'm back in KL and it's time to get back to work.

It's gonna be hard work but we gonna get it going.

My brother Mano, a former Malaysian Junior hockey player and previously a personal fitness trainer at California Fitness(now busy with business career) is giving me some hardcore regimes.

2012, get ready to be MINE!

Dear Blog,

It's the year 2012 and I have decided to make a New Year Resolution for myself.

This time, I decided learn a few new things and improve on old habits in my life to see how far my progress will be by the end of 2012.
I want to challenge myself with something new besides just making music and trying
to make my dreams come true.
I have a made a list for myself, and I plan to stick with it.
By the end of the year, I will reveal my list and compare my progress for the year!
Don't want to do it now cause i am afraid I might jinx it! lol

Anyway, just a little update on myself, I have been pretty busy with personal stuff since I got back to KL.
Been away for 2months so I got a lot of catching up to do, and not forgetting Moe's family is down. :)
Family is important, hands down.

But work is of course important! My career is my no.1 priority at the moment, so will be on a roll ASAP!
If there is one thing I am grateful for, it's having a wonderful family and boyfriend who understands how much music means to me and supporting me to keep marching forward even when I feel tired and frustrated - you know being human and all. :)

So, till my next post. Time to hit the sack!
Btw, my new year resolution includes waking up 8@9am every morning to seize the day! <3 lol
Us musicians and our late night song writing sessions/feeling "emo" at night. LOL

See ya!

In Quebec City!

Dear Blog,

I thought today I'd share with you some updates of the last few days on my stay in New York.

Well, one was the awesome time I had with my Spiritchild from Mental Notes, gifted musician and a dear friend.

I was suppose to be one of the acts featured for his performance at the Blue Note Jazz club.

It was indeed a great night and I met so many amazing talents and wonderful people.

Some pictures of the night:(to view all pictures of my trip, click here)

(from l-r: Stephanie, Spiritchild and Sam Knight)

Rehearsing with the band and the other acts. Funny story, it took me 2 and a half hours to find this studio which was like 10mins away from my place as i got confused with the Subway trains. lol

The same night, Spirit brought me out with his friends to Tammany Hall. Guess who was spinning baby?

Talib Kweli. Hellsss yeah!

The night of the show at the Blue Note Jazz Club, New York. Had nooo idea it was such an epic spot to play at. Thanks to Spiritchild from Mental Notes for the opportunity!

Dinner with Tom and Concett before the show. They treated me to some original American food. Sooo good.

Thanks TC team! xoxo

Me doing my thingggg.

*Check out the pictures of the other performances by click here

Even Bill Grainer turned up to show support. Thanks Bill! You awesomeee.

Sweet words from a dear friend. Thanks Spirit. We shall meet again soon!

The awesomeness of the night went upwards from then on.

We continued the great vibes at the bar next door, think it was called "Black Pussycat Bar"(or something along those lines! lol) and we all connected and got to know each other better.

Sadly the night had to end, and I had to say goodbye to these lovely people, but i know we will all cross path again. :)

The next day, I completed worked on the bridge part of Rick Seibold co-written track at Vaughn's studio.

Pretty sweet studio. Little V's everywhere in Vaughn's studio.

It's all about the trademark ya'll! ;)

So, it was indeed a pretty hectic week in New York too.

I'm always happy to do music, cause i'm definitely passionate about it and the vibe is always great when you work with positive and amazing people.

For example, working with Bill Grainer and Joel Dean was definitely a mind blowing experience.

FUN,creative juices flowing and just positive energy everywhere.

Can't wait to hear the final tracks!!

We need to start a band together guys! lol

We look the part already. <3

And now, finally I'm here safely in Quebec City, Canada with my brother Sunder.

It feels so good to be here with him cause i've missed him sooo badly.

Had a little drama with my luggage, but thank God that's sorted out.

Seriously guys, positive thoughts,positive outcomes.

Anyway, will keep you posted on my updates here in beautiful and coldddd Quebec City, Canada!

Till my next post.

Au revoir.

Heart to Heart. My Humble Opinion

First and foremost, thank you for dropping by.

Bear in mind that if you are not able to accept my opinions, this post is not for you.

Written from the heart. <3

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Blog,

Today i was feeling really disturbed by how easily some people judge a person or a person's family without even knowing them.
They say horrible things about others based on their own made up stories in their head.
What makes me surprised is they don't even know these people personally yet they are
extremely convinced that they do, hence leading them to say whatever they choose to say like it is set in stone.

I guess these people do not realize the consequences of assuming and making conclusions of something or someone without doing their research or finding out the truth.
Someone mentioned to me recently that it is because some people find it convenient to accept whatever another party or the masses say. Its like they think "Why bother making my own decision if I can be spoon fed with information?"
How true this statement is, I have no idea. I let you be the judge.

It's sad that some will go to extremes just to make another person feel bad about themselves to make their point clear. Being dissatisfied and having problems with someone is fine, but to attack/insult a person without confrontation first, i think is disrespectful and inconsiderate. Why not talk, find out first what happened before going all ballistic?
What's even more annoying is how some people talk bad about someone behind their back, yet in front they pretend like they treasure the friendship like gems.

Fake friendships, hate that. When you have nothing, well.. you're practically nothing.
Suddenly when you make a little success, BOOM, everyone loves you.

Well, who am I to judge these people, likewise who are they to judge me with my personal opinion. Usually, I do not like to think about negative things as I always appreciate the feeling of being happy, loved and cared by people who matter to me. I am indeed lucky solely because I am blessed with great people in my life.

Honestly, I am speaking about no one in particular.
It's just stories that I experience sometimes, stories from friends etc.

I mean, we are all humans after all, prone to mistakes, feelings and so forth.

We are not perfect, well..

I know i'm not, but i try to make the best of my days and pick up the pieces where I've failed and learn from it, as well as enjoy the amazing things life has given me and appreciate them.

The world is a wonderful place, of course as long as we keep the negative energy away. <3

With this, i just wanna say thank you God for a wonderful family, loving friends, inspiring peers, and of course my amazing fans and music appreciators.
Also, thanks to the haters for motivating me to move forward.
I always work better with a little push. ;)

xoxo
