APAD 84 - sayonara, aunty-sama


有點感傷,下個月開始應該沒能和aunty唱歌了,因為時間安排不上。

不知道下次几時有機會再合作。只想說這7個月來,多謝關照:)真的收益良多。

后會有期!

APAD 81 - Bye Bye Carlsberg, Hello Stan-Chart!


Just got news that Liverpool parted ways with their shirt sponsor of 17 years Carlsberg and signed a new 80M GBP deal with Standard Chartered which will commence in the 2010/11 season till the 2013/14 season.

Some supporters upon hearing of the news said good riddance to Carlsberg as they claim that the club has been jinxed and by the company as they had not won the premier league since Carlsberg sponsored the team. But I dont think any blame can be laid on the sponsor - though it is a fact that the money offered by Carlsberg does not come close to the figures offered by Standchart. Thus it is reasonable to expect that Liverpool FC would be in a better position to bid for better players in the near future.

For me personally, I kinda gre fond of the old Carlsberg logo on my liverpool kits (no offence to my Muslim mates, just a personal feeling). Would be sad to see the sponsor changed after such a long service. On the bright side, fellow muslim JCs will now be happy that they can proudly wear kit of their beloved club without fear of embarassment etc.

Well, lets all hope that Liverpool will move up a notch from this good news and - finally - bring back the much awaited holy grail - the league title which they have not won since 1990.

For me personally, cant wait to start collecting the Stand Chart kits!

In the meantime, time to complete my Carlsberg kit too cos i have a feeling they are gonnabe pretty pricey soon :P




APAD 80 - My NIKON D90 went dead??!!

Yup - for no apparent reason!

After attempting to sync photos taken from Eric + MayMay's performance yesterday, the iveView screen went dead. It was still possible to take pics but the live view screen just show a dead black screen everytime i press the "playback" or "menu" buttons. Shit, no choice but to send it back for warranty servicing. Fingers crossed everything will turn out ok.


APAD 79 - 肇均 +MAYMAY @ Heaven





我的偶像,肇均和maymay的表演片斷和相片。不用多說,好好欣賞這首bossa 版的《分手快樂》吧:)








PS:今天其實是神祕嘉賓約了我來幫他和肇均錄製一個片斷。這片斷是甚麼東東?哈哈遲些會揭曉。敬請期待!







APAD 78 - Byr byr, 長髮。。。


At last, after 9 months (yup since before CNY!), i got rid of my long hair haha.

Yup, no prizes for guessing who cut them:P

well, guess i have to start all over again before my hair grows back to my favourite 30cm lentgh:P

APAD 77 - 新搭檔


好久沒有和新的歌手搭檔了。剛“出道”時還不認識人的時候,每次有機會和新的搭檔駐唱,都會很緊張。會想 - 歌手要唱的歌我會不會彈?會不會有脾氣?能不能勝任?但所幸的是,一路都很順利。我本身其實沒有象一些歌手指定要“固定”搭檔。我倒喜歡常常換partner,這樣才會一直給自己新的motivation新的,避免快變“悶”,也不斷的能和不同搭檔有不同火花,這樣唱歌才不會悶:)

這天有機會和serena在炫唱,真的不錯。serena的歌聲洪亮,技巧穩定,會得歌多,歌路廣。還不敢相信她只出道了1年而已。前途無量,後生可畏:)

希望下次有機會再合作吧。

APAD 76 - 四大天王?哈哈

看到朋友在FACEBOOK 分享這個clip這個,乍看以為四大天王終於有合唱一首歌,還真的期待!哪裡知道。。哈哈看了就知道甚麼是啦:P
還滿象的!其實唱歌的都是模仿比賽的優勝者,湊在一起圓了真四大天王歌迷的夢:)

For those familiar with the 4 Heavenly King, they have finally release a single together! - or not. The singers below are actually winners of imitation competitions - real good eh? haha

APAD 75 - 绥兴 @ Wings










今天約了绥兴到甲洞回音石看慧姍和徫杰表演。






當然少不了要他上台秀秀陳綺偵的歌:)




這麼多駐唱吉他手中,本人認為他彈陳綺偵的歌最有味。關鍵在於绥兴也是陳綺偵的歌迷。我指的是真正懂得欣賞陳綺偵的歌曲的人。他會把陳綺偵的歌都細心研究,把最好最真的本事和把歌的精髓表演出來。



下次看到他記得多點陳綺偵(或盧廣仲!)的歌,保證不會失望:)

尤其以下《太聰明》,真的彈的不錯:)



PS: 最近發現駐唱歌手(除了我哈哈)都有點“白癡”怔。不信?看吧。。。。






APAD 74 - 歌的感動

今天,竟然有顧客聽咱們唱歌,到最後一首歌,燕婷常“回家”時,竟然淚流滿面。看見這一幕,瞬間自己覺得好感動,原來真的還友人認真聽咱們唱歌,而且咱們也能以歌聲/琴聲感動到別人,真欣慰。

這位顧客,謝謝你讓我再次對唱歌有“火”。

歌手們,加油吧!或許有時候,會覺得唱歌很辛苦,因為現在已經沒有當年聽歌的風氣了。很多時候大家都當歌手是“點播機”,或只是可有可無的背景音樂。但在那台下某個角落,還是會有知音人的。記得,咱們對這些知音人有責任要唱好歌的。加油!

APAD 73 - 漢良 + wing






今天抽空去看老友漢良和wing表演。

漢良是個超級積極的男人。作他女人應該很幸福吧有這麼會賺錢的partner哈哈。其實我認識漢良的女友 - 淑婷在先。當時我們都是wow wow的歌手,合作數十次吧,是位很認真努力的歌手。可惜沒有耳福聽她唱歌了,因為她已經退出江湖。

但漢良這老將還再唱,哈哈熄不了那團愛唱歌的火。這仁兄也是個beyond迷,而且和我只差一歲,所以很自然的大家接觸的歌曲都是同屬“同一個年代”的歌曲。記得有一次和他唱,翻翻他歌簿竟然看到一首沒有想到除了我歌簿還會出現在其他人的歌簿裡的一首歌 - 叫“是雨還是淚” - 沒聽過吧?哈哈。當年郭富城一首歌。當然當場就給它唱了哈哈。總之,咱們兩一起唱的話一定會來個老歌之夜的 :)




a Wing呢就是一位我常在heaven聽她唱歌的朋友。當時還沒認識她但常常都會去聽她唱歌。有一次在wings和她partner,我先到餐廳set-up餐廳,過後看見她提著鍵盤走進餐廳,看到我set-up了鍵盤時就把他的鍵盤放回車裡,說甚麼不好意思彈了。拜託啊大姐,您老人家的鍵盤已經很好了啊!哈哈以下的clips能作證:)



大家有空不妨也看看吧:)









APAD 72 - 大家姐細微復出之日 feat. Kenny





(更多照片點這裡


今天是久違了的大家姐細微的“復出”之日。ie大家姐她闊別一年重上民歌餐廳的舞台駐唱之日。最後一次見到細微是她結婚時吧,整整一年了。。。。



之間大姐也生了個寶寶,所以雖然還有教課/錄音之類的,最是沒有返回當初最处的出發點- 民歌餐廳- 直到這天:)



當我得知大家姐會和老將kenny在炫駐唱時,還真興奮。也把消息告知了慧姍,約了些朋友(慧姍順便發紅炸彈)去捧場。果然沒有失望:)

也很高興能見到ah yeong和a 玲,兩位之前stream的老伙伴。風采依舊,不知道唱歌還行嗎?哈哈。。。



話說回來,今天看著兩位前輩的演出,讓我非常感動。沒有太多華麗的動作,沒有多餘的說話,就是單純的唱歌,表演。爽!真的有點回到我 8~9年前民歌餐廳的感覺。

加油吧,兩位前輩!我下次再來捧場!



對了,最後還有個神祕客串嘉賓!!!他是。。。。盧廣仲嗎????當然不是。是david弟弟哈哈。。。也是個不錯的歌手/鼓手。(擺脫別再唱heave knows's 了哈哈)

APAD 71 - Holy Grail!??



Spotted one of the kits I've always dreamt of having in Lowyat today!!!! Couldnt believe it!!!!! And its my size and the right price too!!! This must be fate!!!

I had immediately dropped a note on the sales thread. After not receiving any response I became super kiasu and PM-ed the seller who eventually responded an hour later.

To my dismay he told me it was already SOLD! I was like, no it couldnt be!!!!!! I saw it barely an hour ago, dude.. u sure? He told me ya, sold sold sold...sorry sorry sorry....

Almost cried that time. this is one of the kits i have been looking for since i started watching football. But heck i also subscribe to the theory "if its urs, it will be urs" philosophy, so i didnt make a fuss la. Just felt real dissaponted thats all.

But luck and fate was on my side when I received a PM from the seller telling me that the shirt i wanted was in fact "sold" to - ME! haha seller said he saw a post on his sales thread and had reserved the kit hence thats why he told me earlier he had sold it. In fact, the post he saw was my earlier post and in fact theshirt was reserved FOR ME! haha what a funny twist. So now that means I will be able to lay my hands on one of my holy grail kits soon! real soon!

What kit u ask me?



hehe i'll keep u guys guessing for the moment. Photos will be revealed as soon as i receive the kit.

Cant wait!!!!!!

APAD 70 - Zzzzzzzzz


Guess how long I slept today? 15 hours. I think its a personal best! And for no apparent reasons too. Anyone can tell me if this is normal? haha. Zhou Gong must be damn bored the whole day seeing me there for so long haha:P


APAD 69 - My September 2009 Timetable



Drop by when free yah :)


APAD 68 - 阴历7月15鬼节


拜拜拜拜,祝福大家平安。。。

APAD 67 - Updated view of my "kit room"




1/3 of my kits are now covered with the plastic sheets i got from pongkes earlier, so thought just share some pics on how they look like now :)

Thes eplastic sheets require special attention as well. Have to check them everyday to ensure that there is sufficient gap between the plastic sheets and the shirts, so as to prevent the NNs melting into the plastics (it has happened before).

And to kill any doubts, Yes i do sleep in this room with my jerseys :)




APAD 66 - Mad rush mad rush


Just back from the merdeka holidays and there are so many things to rush! This patent infringement case is getting me very stressed out. Its a good challenging case, but one which I have no prior experience, and hence the learning curve is a bit steep. And the fact that I have so little time and so many other works piling up doesn't help.

sigh, wish me luck then. Looks like its gonna be a looooong day in the library for me...........
