A new man’s report

May 30th 2006

I have never loved writing, but, out of the blue,I have my own blog now!

I can never understand why everyone has their own blog. But I believe that it is a place for others to get to know me better and for me to know myself better. I will read about my thoughts when I was happy, my decisions made when I was sad, and what nonsense would I chat about when I’m bored ……

No matter what, welcome to my world.




Courage

4.33pm 05/05/06

Suddenly, I have the urge to buy myself a guitar, and I wanted to get to the shop to have a look at the guitars immediately! At times, I felt [bu hao yi shi] shy to just to go in and take a look, my first step hesitated and hence dragging the time. Now, I felt like going.

Is it too late to go today? Ha, it’s better than not having the thought at all, right? Shall I make a move now?

Come to think of it, I am also thinking of buying a house. I have thought about it for a long time, but do not have the courage to make enquiries. Actually, what are the things to do before buying a house?


4.39pm 05/05/06

The nickname, Badtaste, suddenly popped up on my computer screen, it reminded me, it’s time to write song; and after writing, to meet him up immediately to record it. Fortunately, Badtaste is a friendly person. He encourages me, and welcomes me to record songs in his house. I have already had two songs recorded, if not, possibly I would still be ‘tak apa, tak apa’, hoping to get more time for recording!

Time …… Haha….. I think what I lack is courage ?

Courage? What’s it?

Why is it tt I, the ‘magician’, do not have the courage to solve problems like these?

Think ………

No point thinking too much.
The fortune teller once said: [“Think” will only bring worries; “Actions” are the most practical.] Having made a mistake, one just has to face the penalty, there’s nothing great about it! Some people fight with their lives for things they urge for. Jailed, escaped, and fought for it again and yet they continue to live courageously. Why should I worry about little, little things?

Don’t think too much …..
Take it one at a time; it’s better than to sit on the problems.
Let’s go. Let’s take a look at the guitars. I would not lose anything, anyway.

A deeper understanding.

What do you see in this picture?

Is it really that simple?

One look at it, it is obviously just a net, the Red Indians’ Dream Catcher. Take a closer look; there are similar reflections underneath the Dream Catcher. One image is actually the reflection; the other big net is the prints of a CD. Under the colorful lights, it displays a different vision.

What have you seen?

But, it definitely isn’t the Da Vinci Code!

Let’s appreciate it!

Buying the guitar

4.14am, 07/05/06

Yesterday, Brother Ren recommended Martin’s guitars. He said that Martin’s are better in feels and souls. Taylor’s sounds are bright but fake, and too commercialized. He also recommended another gadget, L R Braggs’ DJ Box. He said that by adjusting its equalizer, that would help to reduce harms on certain frequencies.

He hoped that I could go to Singapore to have a look at those gadgets.

4.20am, 09/05/06

I haven’t turned in yet, not because I can’t sleep, but because I am surfing the net for info on Martin’s Guitars, listening to various guitars and comparing the sounds. And I discovered what brands of guitar the other artists are using.

Eric Clapton, John Mayor, Shawn Colvin, Avril Lavigne…….are using the Martin’s.

Alanis Morisette, Shania Twain, Michelle Branch, The Corrs, Ryan Cabrera… and many other pop artists are using the Taylor’s.

Hence, I was surfing the net for samples for the various guitars’ sounds. But, maybe because the sounds were all recorded in the studio, no matter how I listened to them, I couldn’t differentiate them. I should have tested the sounds personally then only I will know the differences. But, I remembered that Brother Ren told me that Martin’s sounds are more natural and more humane. On the other hand, Taylor’s are too commercialized, too perfect that they sounded fake. I have the urge to buy the Taylor’s that I saw earlier.

But, it’s better to look around in K.L. for Martin’s before making my decision.

9.11pm 09/05/06

I was surfing the net at midnight for info on guitars, and have found a shop, starting with the letter M, in Damansara area, which sells Martin’s. That shop is Martin’s Distributor in Malaysia.

When I was there, my original intention was to look at the Martin guitars, but at last I gave up because they were too expensive, besides they were not my [xin shui] (favourites).Anyway, the advisor was very enthusiastic, he recommended lots of other brands of guitars and hoped that I would visit the shop often to take my time to study the guitars .He recommended some Taylor’s and Takamine’s . A Takamine guitar, made from Brazilian Rosewood (Bolivian) and Maple Wood caught my attention.It has a very nice sound, mild, steady, and do not sound ear-piercing. It looks good, and its high, medium, and low sounds are well-balanced.

But, it is superb expensive. Do I need such investment?

I had a bad dream

19.39pm, 18/05/06

I was having an afternoon nap, I dreamt that I had a fall, and my brand new guitar was scratched. 2 very deep scratch marks could be seen at the back of the guitar.

I woke up and realized that it was only a dream?

I believe that the dream acts as a reminder for me to take good care of my guitar. Possibly because I had never bothered nor taken good care of my old guitar.

Seaside

June 5th, 2006

When I was young, my parents used to bring us to the seaside. When I grew up, we live in Penang, I often visit the seaside.

When I am happy, I’ll go with my family and friends. Whew I am down, I’ll go alone.

Once, while at work, I did not accomplish the task well, I felt uneasy, very uneasy!

So, I went to the seaside alone. I remembered the weather that day was not good either. There was strong wind and big waves. I squatted on the beach, closed my eyes, dared not think about anything. All of a sudden, I felt that the big waves were trying to say something to me – they sounded like some advice unpleasant to the ears. Though I couldn’t really understand what they were trying to say, I discovered that the sea was actually talking all the time. Regardless of the conditions of the weather, the waves would continue to rush ashore. No matter what I have done, what decisions I have made, I would still need to go back to work the next day.

The world will not stop revolving because of me!

There are many seashells on the seaside. Why is it so?

Seashells, what are they? Are they like the meteors that allow me to make wishes? Since I can’t understand what the waves say, I might as well try to disclose my inner feelings to the shells, let them be brought to the sea, and to tell to the world!

The seashells on the beach were washed up and down by the waves and they hit against one another. So, they actually can sing. Maybe this is their way of speaking; ding ding dong dong. And the words are passed to the entire ocean!

And my world has become beautiful because of this! Ha! What about you?

Over Excitement! (Chao Xing Fen!)

June 11th, 2006 ~ Daniel Lee
8.44 pm, 11/06/06


Lately, my daily routine is kind of strange.

Don’t know whether it is due to World Cup fever, my sleeping time has also been affected by the time zone problem. It is already dark when l wake up. Even though l have absolutely no intention to watch soccer, somehow l feel excited when l wake up at night. l even feel “high”.

After some careful thinking, there are a few possibilities which may have lead to this present stage of over excitement;

1. From the day l fell sick during the Musical Showcase until l lost my voice subsequently, I have not fully recovered. Maybe l have hurt my body and damaged some brain cell in the process.

2. After watching <<Almost Love>>, I can really feel that the Magic of Love is powerful. I have this sudden desire to fall in love. May be the storyline sounds like something which l had experienced before. It makes me recall the innocent love which l once had.

3. Went for the recording of new theme song for <<Yu Xie Jiang>>. Felt happy. It was the first time which l had sung together with so many renowned new artistes in a Big Choir. I feel like one of the very distinguished artistes taking part in a very big Musical event.

4. The Golden Melody Award shown last night was interesting. Yee Chung won the award for Best New Artiste. Penny won the award for Best Composer. Tanya won the award for Best Female Mandarin Chinese Singer. Really feel happy for them. Their successes bring pride to fellow Singaporean and Malaysian. My Shi Xiong, Wang Leehom won the award for Best Male Mandarin Chinese Singer. I feel proud to be associated with him. Ha …….. They are good role models for new artistes like us.

5. There were some classic moments and surprises at the Golden Melody Award. The 2 female hosts were hilarious. Snip shots of last year’s presentation of Best Male Mandarin Chinese Singer were funny. Now I understand the embarrassment and confusion. And not forgetting the nonsensical <<Best Dumb Eye Award >>. Hebe’s and Ella’s “blur blur” stare at the stage, Hei Ren’s & Hou Pei Cen’s “Dumb Eye” look were all damn good. Maybe they do deserve an award. They made me laugh through my stomach.

6. Recently, my friend bought a new “Da Pau Pau” for me from Taiwan. I felt a refreshing change in me.

7. Could it be due to the excitement over the cracking of “cold jokes” lately? I feel even more excited now. Ha!

Yes! That’s it. Lots of things happened lately. The above were all possibilities. Don’t know whether they are good or bad?

My ‘ sickly’ [mao bing] concert

June 5th

1.17am, 26/05/06

I felt slight headache and felt like I was getting the flu. I was worried about tomorrow. The concert is a very important performance. There are sponsors, big bosses, organizers and sub-organizers, the media, the fans, who will be there to witness and judge my capabilities and popularities. My future may just rely on it!

I hope to recover the soonest possible!

10.26am, 28/05/06

All the preparations done were meant for this concert, but unexpectedly, I fell sick. I could not sing well, and I sang till my voice turned hoarse. I lost my voice today cos I actually gave my all last night. I felt truly sad, no matter how loud the cheers were, I felt bad. My very first concert had left me some regrets [yi han]!

I was thinking, what if one day, I can’t speak, and I can’t sing ….

What to do? Sad, angry, regrets, never mind …. Of course I wish, and I believe that my reaction will be never mind, possibly because I still have hands that can play the piano.

Honestly speaking, I feel that I look even more handsome and cute when I don’t speak. I don’t know why? On the day I lost my voice, I just used simple sign languages, at times the hand phone and writing method to communicate, I seemed to possess more characters than the normally talkative me. Maybe I used to talk rubbish, the more I talk, the more mistakes I made.

Suddenly, I miss the day that I lost my voice and was dumb.

The balik kampong journey from Penang .. to see Song Song

June 7th, 2006

14th September, 2004, 6pm. I balik kampong to Changlun all alone after work. It was the fourth day after Song Song was born, and I had not seen him yet, hence I made this special trip back just to see him.

I did not have my own transport to travel the 100km journey home, so I had to walk, took the ferry and the bus.

From Komtar, I walked to the jetty. On the way, I discovered that Penang is really a town rich in traditional cultures. Besides the forts, the Mamak bookstalls, the old-styled Chinese bookshops, coffee shops, old streets ….

The weather was quite hot, I stopped at a road side stall selling the various [tang shui] and bought myself a bowl of [oh ni] which consisted of jellies, laichi, lemon, iced syrup, how should I describe it? It tasted sweet and sour, most important of all; it tasted cool, a very nice drink! The aunty who sold me the drink thought I was a Japanese tourist as I looked curious and was taking photos while strolling along!

I continued my journey after taking the [tang shui]. I was eager to see Song Song and I had not been home to Changlun for a long, long time.

At the jetty, by the time I got onto the ferry, the sun was setting. But, at that moment, the scenery at the sea was even more beautiful.

The colourful sunset, the reflections of the orange sun on the surface of the sea, the not so high tech. but modern ferry, the ‘ blur blur’ structure but was obviously the grand Penang bridge, and the indistinct Komtar complex.

I stood at the bow, listening to music through the earphones, feeling the sea breeze, how comfortable! It was as if I was enjoying the romantic moment in Titanic! What I missed were the dolphins! Instead I saw the jelly-fish! But they were still beautiful!

The ferry had reached the other side of the sea. I had arrived at Butterworth. The beautiful scenery was still within my vision. I was reluctant to part with it, and all of a sudden, the thought of not disembarking from the ferry crossed my mind.

But, thinking of Song Song …..

Mice Story

June 9th 2006

In the office, there is a computer. It consists of a CPU, a monitor, a keyboard, and a blue-eyed, sparkling, mouse. It is named Xiao Lan.

Xiao Lan is naughty and bad-tempered. Wherever he (Note fr Paris: I refer to it as He, as later I would refer to Xiao Hong as She) went, he made noise. One day, he was so bored that he wanted to get to the other side of the computer; hence he decided to climb up the keyboard to get to it.

Suddenly, half way across the keyboard, he met a transparent but shiningly red mouse, Xiao Hong.

Both mice got stuck on top of the keyboard, both found it difficult to advance or retreat, but refused to be the first to give way. Soon, they found each other offensive, and started to quarrel.

XL : Wei, what you looking at! Quickly step aside lah!
XH : Wa, who do you think you are? Ask me to step aside?
XL : I’m the ‘big one’ here. I ask you to step aside, you have to step aside!
XH : Ha, you haven’t tasted my powerful red light yet!
XL : Hum, action meh ?Your red lights are damn hot, be careful of getting heatstroke!
XH : Aiyah, you blue-light mouse! You have lots of ultraviolet lights; be careful of suffering from cancer!
XL : Pei! You tooot is sooooooo big! You think you are very strong ah; you get sick I am still fine yet.
XH : Blue lights, I ‘qing cai’ also stronger than you！
XL : Wanna compare with me ?
XH : [Shui pa shui] ?(Who scared of who?) See who is the faster runner?
XL : Run only mah! Come!
XH : Come lah!

Both mice competed and were evenly matched. In the end….. There were no winners.

Xiao Hong was not satisfied with the result and Xiao Lan was also not pleased. Both mice were unhappy and got into a fight. They even used their [lan] lousy weapon, the wires, to fight!

Lastly, both mice got entangled.

What do you think has been proven in this story?

Meeting you once again

Recently, I saw the Proton Putra KAX5511 which once belonged to me at the Ikea’s car park. I felt both surprise and happy. It was like meeting a long lost buddy. I did not expect to see it there. Unfortunately it doesn’t belong to me anymore. Its owner is nowhere to be seen, and it can’t speak, so I won’t know how it has been doing.

I drove this car when I was studying. It is a 2-door racing car model . I remembered that when I drove the car to school, it attracted quite a lot of attention. Regardless of males or females, the boys looked envious and the girls were admiring it. But at times there were complaints that it wasn’t that convenient as it has only 2 doors.

This car had accompanied me through many happy and sad moments. Once, I was on my way to a tuition class with a group of friends, I was careless and was involved in an accident. I was at a loss then, and my heart truly ached to see the damage done. After that, I have been very careful while driving.

When I was studying in Penang, a friend wanted to borrow my car for a ride. He did not have a valid driving license but claimed that he was a good driver. He told me not to worry as he had driven a car before and nothing would happen. So, I lent my car to him. I waited for a long time but he didn’t get back. Our guess was right. He met with an accident. I was very angry then and kept scolding him. He could only keep apologizing and said that his family was poor and he had no money to pay for the damages. I understood that whatever I said would not be of any use. It was my entire fault. Why did I lend my car to him in the first place? I couldn’t help crying and was afraid to tell my parents the truth. I could only tell them it was my own careless mistake again.

This car was with me for 3 years. Coincidentally, I was about to go to Taiwan for a while, there were no one in the family to take care of it. Besides, my elder sister wasn’t good at driving, my younger brother and sister were still too young to drive, most important of all, it was getting old and difficult to maintain, and hence Mum decided to sell it off and bought a new car instead.

At that time, every one of us missed it; we missed its handsome look and the inconveniences it brought because it has only 2 doors.

Possibly because of this reason, all my siblings’ car’s number plate is 5511.

Being busy can save money

1.58am, 22/06/06

At times I complained that my work schedules were too packed till I had no time to rest and was feeling exhausted. I did not expect that I would feel as tired even without work! Of late, my promo activities have come to an end. I have more free time. Hence the time I went shopping has also increased. Most important of all, more shopping means “more money spent”! I am truly scared that one day I may have spent all my money earned!

Is it because the living standard in KL is higher? When I was living in the small towns, I did not have to worry about this, what was important then was to live life happily.

Or have I become ‘extravagant’ recently? Looking for good food and quality necessities, haha!

I hope that by thinking this way it shows I do reflect on my actions. Possibly I have my parents to thank for instilling in me thoughts like this. That is: Wait till you are capable of earning that much money then only we will talk about it.

No matter what, it is better to spend carefully.

The quantitative noun of shoes is no more "a pair of".

June 24th 2006 Daniel Lee

Below is the conversation between a teacher and the students.

“Today I am going to teach about quantitative nouns. Ok, Xiao Ling, what is the quantitative noun for apple?”

“ Yi li( 一 粒) apple”

“Good . Very good. What about shoes, Xiao Ming?”

“A heap(dui) of shoes.”

“Ah? What? A heap? Who taught you that?”

‘ Sister Ah Yun taught me that. She told me when she was in Taiwan for a tour; she saw lots of beautiful shoes and the prices were very cheap, too, so she bought back a heap of shoes.”

= _ =”

…

What have you proven from this story?

Special thanks to Ah Yun Jie Jie.

Intro before and after my birthday….

July 2nd ,2006 Daniel Lee

People like to share with others their feelings before and after examinations, what is there to talk about on days before and after my birthday?

Actually, many things had happened during this period, but I have not been writing in my blog for quite some time and find it hard to pen them down. I hope everyone will give me a little bit more time.

Touched

July 17th, 2006

Of late, lots of things happened, & they did not turn out smooth. Furthermore, there were many important appointments to attend, I felt pressurized. Carta Hits held last night made me feel much tensed because I knew that lots of fans were voting and supporting me. I did not want to let them down and was practising real hard.

While waiting backstage, I was still shaking…

Immediately after singing, I heaved a big sigh of relief. I felt that after so many performances, this was my best performance for <<Mimpi>>. My friends agreed with me, which made me very pleased.

When the results were finally announced, my best performance was not better than others’ best; hence I did not win any prize. Erm, actually, I did not feel disappointed. Believe me, I wasn’t the saddest, my family members and fans that had been supporting me all these while were. When I saw Dad and Mum at home, there seemed to be tears in their eyes, I felt sad, too, but to console everyone would make them cry. I wish to tell everyone here:

Thank you very much, especially to Mummy and Daddy, to all the Pinkies, medias and the people who supported me no matter what. Thank you very much. Even though we didn’t make it this time, but you made me feel very proud and grateful because I have you, that always be here for me. So, I don’t think I lose, because I won you. Ha… Thanks for all your love and support. I will always do my best performance in the future. LOVE YOU.

It was true I cried on 715, during the live concert at Low Yat Plaza. It was because at my saddest moment, I found that there were still so many people supporting me. I felt truly touched to listen to them singing my song!

Thanks for all your support! I will continue to work hard!

Back to green green grass of home

July 10th, 2006 Daniel Lee

Life in the city is always hurried and hasty.I could finally go home on June 26th.

After more than five hours journey, I was back at my hometown, Changlun.

I did not expect that I would feel so comfortable to be back at Changlun. It turned out that my hometown is the most beautiful place. Why didn’t I realize it before? The green paddy fields, the rows of rubber trees, the pure air, the serene little town, and the many, many feelings that I have left behind in this piece of land, the familiar faces, my family members, and my childhood friends.

There seemed not many changes in my old house. The popular-no-more tapes were still as neatly arranged . But I felt that the things at home seemed to have turned shorter, smaller. Is it because I have grown taller? Ha . . .It has been six years since I moved out of this house.

There aren’t many changes within these six years, but I discovered that the friends whom I have not seen for many years are not the same anymore. Everyone has his/her own live, and dreams. Some are married, some have become bosses, and some want to earn as much as they can while they are still young. I was very happy to see some of the ‘bad’ students look decent and respectable now. And I realized, we have all grown up.


As the saying goes:[Each family has its own problem ]. They are just like me, are also troubled by life’s worries, and have to face each and every problem. I am so blessed, why do I complain about anxieties, pressures? Don’t they have their worries even if they are married, and are bosses now?

Eventually, I found solace; actually, I have not been lonely along the journey of growing up.

Daniel's blog always touched me..I really learn alot about life from it...Post more ya...And thanks Aunty Paris for translating all the blogs..=)

“The wind of self-snapping” makes its comeback

July 24th, 2006

Last week, I had photo shoots for two consecutive days. The photos taken were satisfactory and liked by many. I was complimented and felt secretly pleased. Hihi...

The result: my desire to self-snap has come back!

I travel a lot recently, but my camera is with me all the time.

I love the feel of this photo. It was taken at a hotel in Penang. Simple but cool, with a little added effect, the feel is even more intense. It may possibly be chosen to be used as the cover of my album! Haha….

PS: YS said: Why is there a power point at the corner?
Why picked on this? You think it’s really for cover use meh?

And, this makes me feel serene.

More to come…….

The Red Grassland of the Little People Kingdom. (Part 1)

August 2nd, 2006.

This was an incredible story.

That night, there was a thunderstorm; everyone was dead tired after a hard day’s work.

It was late at night, what I wanted to do was to get back home to get a rest. But Xiao Bing & Ah Yu had no transport and I did not have the heart to let them wait in the rain for public transport. Hence, I would take them home first.

On the way, I passed two highways, one toll plaza and a zero-shaped tunnel and managed to take both of them home safely. On my way home, it was still raining. Suddenly, there was a flash of lightning and a thunder struck … blackout….!

The zero-shaped tunnel in front was in stark darkness. But that was the only route I could take to get back home. I had no choice but to ensure I had my car lights on before making my way into the tunnel. It was total darkness in the tunnel. Ka…….!I felt like the bottom of my car had been scratched by something . Anyway, I passed through the tunnel safely!

The rain had stopped when I drove out of the tunnel, but the way home was still as dark. But, strangely, after driving for a very long time, why hadn’t I come to the toll plaza that I had passed by earlier?

To be continued…..

The Red Grassland of the Little People Kingdom (Part 2)


August 10th , 2006

Sorry to keep all of you waiting. There was an idiot crow that made its landing on the antenna and damaged our internet connection; hence I was not able to go online for five days!

Ok, I’ll bring you all now the part 2 of The Red Grassland of the Little People Kingdom.

….continue

I thought, it might be my disillusion, I might not have arrived at it yet, just had to continue driving. But after driving on for some time, I seemed to have problems with my car. “Peng”, I thought it was no big deal, only one of the tyres had burst, but there was smoke coming out from the bonnet. My car had stalled. Suddenly, I became nervous, and wanted to quickly make a call to Ah Yu.

“Wei…”

Oh! At the critical moment, my hand phone ran out of battery. Cool down, cool down, let me get down the car and have a look to see what had actually happened. After lifting the bonnet, wow, all I saw were the unknown ‘internal organs of the engine”. Then, I discovered there was green liquid on the floor. Ah! I got a shock! But then I realized it was the car coolant. The part of the car might have been broken when I hit something as I passed through the tunnel earlier, which caused the coolant to drip away, and the engine of the car had got warmer, and thus the car stalled.

What I could do then was to sit in the car and keep comforting myself, but when you were all alone in a stark dark road, it was real frightening and helpless! After some thinking, I knew it did not help to just sit in the car, it’s better to look for a nearest S.O.S. emergency phone booth. Maybe I would even get to the toll plaza that I had been looking for.


All along the way, the croaks of the frogs and the chirping of the insects were ‘singing’ in my ears. Wind that blew began to blow apart the clouds above. And the moon shone brightly on the soulless street. Walking in the cold night, I felt eerie. I was scared! I covered both of my ears, and walked straight on without looking sideways.

After walking passed a small hill and making a turn, I saw the toll plaza. I quickly ran towards it. But there was no one at the toll plaza which had blacked out, too. But, there was some lights coming out from the room next door. Looking through the crack of the door, there seemed to be lights in the room. But, why were there lights if there was no power supply? At the door handle hung an auspicious object. All these made my hair stood on their ends. But the door seemed to welcome me into the room. I hesitated, but the condition outside was not any better. The chirping of the insects seemed to get louder, the wind was getting stronger. Should I go in or shouldn’t I. I was confused. At last, I took up the courage to open the door and get in.

Ah!!

I felt like falling from an upper floor, but, opening my eyes…. Oddly, I was fine. But I saw the red grassland, the purple sky. Besides, everything I saw was minute.

Could it be I had landed on the legendary Red Grassland of the Little People Kingdom?

To be continued….

[sevelynn]

Left my blog for so long, everybody is scolding me: "Why so long still don't update your blog?"

Actually after hearing this i felt touched. Why? Suddenly i felt that, actually there are a lot of people visit 'me' (the blog), and even some 'friends' whom i don't expect them to read, they eagerly want to know what interesting things happened in the 'little people kingdom'. But now, all i can say is... friends, sorry... This story needs more inspiration for the ending. Hope that everybody will give me more time and chance, i will work harder to find the little people kingdom back. Everybody, please don't leave my blog la... Temporarily i will write others, and will return to finish the story next time.

Today, at G's house i recorded a song i wrote earlier. Spent a few hours, kept changing, kept picking, recorded until midnight. So pai seh to disturb you sleeping. But, this alternative half-done song, i'm quite satisfied with it. Now i'm waiting for friends to fill up the lyrics.

This song is called 'the red grassland of the little people kingdom'...

PS: it's just my demo recorded at a friend's house, not for album yet.

Sept 1st, 2006

Everybody told me, hair grew longer, need to cut. When will you cut?

Finally...

That day, went to a friend's salon to cut my hair, so fun. First, he helped me to straighten my hair then only start to cut, quite unique. Then i realized actually i looked not bad with straightened hair. Like i can act as a japanese anime character.

Which anime do you think i look like?

Is there any Final Fantasy feel? Hahaha.

After straightening then only i realized, wah! My hair is really long...

Want to cut already, snap a few more to keep as memory. But, do you think i look better with short hair or long hair? Or straightened hair? Hee hee!

Yesterday, mum told me on msn saying, Aunty K phoned her, saying her children told her that... From my 'ba zi' (sort of like horoscope), i will face some unlucky problems lately, must be careful when going out, don't go out if there's nothing. Is it true?

I remember, Y fortune teller told me before CNY this year, asked me to be careful in July and August. Wah, are they that powerful?

August 19th, around 3.45 noon, I was driving my Savvy, from KL towards Ipoh on the North South Highway. At KM423.1, I was stuck in a 'chain' accident. At that time it was raining heavily, the H car infront suddenly brake, I stepped fully on my brake pedal, but still softly bumped into the H car. Suddenly a Black proton car bang into me from behind, and i was sandwiched.

Luckily my Savvy was tough enough. The bonnet was slighted dented, but did not spoiled the inside engine.

The H car in front was in good condition, didn't even bang the car body, just spoiled the spare tyre clip only.

But my car boot, almost the whole bumber came off, but luckily wasn't dented in.

The black Proton car behind kesian lor, the whole bonnet went in, and both sides of the lights pecah. The engine inside don't need to say ler...

In this accident no one was hurt, and no one died. But, the funny thing was, the car owner in front is malay, middle is chinese, behind is indian. Merdeka... Malaysia is really a muhibah country, chinese indian malay met an accident and settled it in peace, how wonderful!

The accident happened, we can't do anything much, all we can do was call the towing service, wait to go to the police station to make report.

Standing cannot, sit also not right, so boring. Ah, take pics lor!

Hee hee! Once in awhile must know how to have fun in bad things. As a result, my brother was also pulled into the water, became my model. When he didn't notice, i snap a few pics.

Bro: Eh? WHen did you took these, why didn't i know? Wah, looks like 'Initial D' oh!

Haha... looks like the Initial D accident time!

Waited for very long. Finally, the tow car uncle came. Like what S told me, their face brightly litted with a big smile. Didn't say anything, straight away he took out the rubber part in front of the car. Then hung the car and get ready to tow away.

*Does this thing looked familiar? Does it look like the cartoon last time Transformer's mouth? Hahaha...

Then, the tow uncle charged me RMXXX.00 of towing fees, towed the car back to KL. Wah, Uncle, quite expensive right? This time really my wallet vomit blood! Sigh, no choice, still have to pay! Take a few more pics, then only go lah...

NOTE: Actually in this accident, I 'lost' quite some money for nothing, but hope that this spending can prevent bad luck la. Good luck come faster!!!

When I was young, I always looked up the sky filled with curiosity. Why the sky is blue? How come there are so many clouds? What is cloud? Is it as sweet as, as soft as candy floss? Are there any fairies living up there like wha tthe old folks stories said?

Last time, whenever i heard airplanes flew above my roof, i will run out to see, then shout loudly what i wish for towards the plane, hoping it will come true :D. That time I hoped that the plane will buy me Uncle K's fried chicken for me to eat, ha ha... :drool:

So, how does it feel to watch the clouds from inside the plane?

That time onwards, I have the dream to fly...

From what my memory serves me, the first time i flew was when i was 19 years old, that time i went to Santubong, Sarawak with a band from Penang for a music camp. At that time i was nervous and excited as well, because i'm gonna fly.

Actually flying is not scary at all, just that sometimes because of the pressure, it makes my ears quite pricky. But from inside the plane I looked out, the view outside is marvellous. Looking at the clouds from above is very special.

After becoming an artist, flying is something i do often. But everytime i fly, I feel extremely happy. Maybe because i always think that flying is to somewhere far, or i look forward to see the magnific view in the sky.

'Please put your hand-carry item on your overhead compartment or underneath your seat..."

I'm used to put my ag under the seat.

I always request to sit by the window. Wah, looking at such beautiful view, such wonderful clouds, i hope that the plane won't land so fast.

Specially for kids who have not experience flying before, because i was like you all before, eager for the day i can fly.

I have so many roommates, they have livened up my room!

September 4th, 2006

Of late, there are many new members in my room .Thanks to those who have given me the cute-cute soft toys.

Let me briefly introduce to you my VIP roommates….
(Pls refer to this link for pix: http://tristooges.com/cms/blog/2006/09/04/96/)

This is the biggest bear-bear . Height: 5 feet. Weight: Looks fatter but should not have weighed more than me.

These two little ones are the smallest and are Shung Shung’s most favourite piggies because when they are pressed, they will say: I love you!

This one looks like a pig but I would say it ‘disguises’ as one loh(ban zhu shi lao hu)!

There are still many more…. Doggie, bear-bear, piggie, rabbit, doraemon and hamtaro…

My room is not that big to accommodate all the toys, therefore it is not a bad idea to place some in my car.

Amazingly, there are 4 newly registered roommates just arrived from Melaka today!

The result: My bed is crowded with the toys! Haha, naturally, everyone who comes to my room will ask: Wah! How to sleep? Simple, just close my eyes and sleep! It’s either I sleep on them or they on me! Never mind lah….

Special thanks to all fans who have given me the soft toys.
P/S: Spend wisely… Thanks!

Steamboat + BBQ meal, fun oh!

September 6th, 2006.


Due to a heavy downpour, my assignment was called off….. My friends suggested we went for a steamboat + BBQ meal, eat all you can for just RM20.

Actually, how would you treat yourself to a steamboat + BBQ meal? To me, everyone would just grill the food or dip the food in the hot soup and eat! But, ours were very much different and had created lots of jokes!

Ah Lian was so excited she had turned into the Obasan of a TV’s cooking show. Instead of grilling the ‘lala’, she ‘hosted’ a special dish, “lala fried with chillies”.When we tried to offer some opinions like adding some soup of other ingredients, she argued: Are you the Chef or I’m? Wah, Ah Lian, are you being possessed? After waiting for quite some time, “Why don’t the lala open up?” “It’s hard to open my mouth to let her know…..” Both Lian and I started to sing this song simultaneously. Just as we finished singing this line, a few lalas opened up…..

Next, it was more hilarious when we were cooking the ‘sweet sour grilled crabs”. Ah Lian fried the garlic, tomato sauce and chilli sauce together in the wok, which produced a very fragrant but also nose-irritating smell! And while she was frying, she accidentally dropped a piece of crab meat into the bowl of oil. “Oh, this step is called [guo you] la!” Hahaha! All of us rolled into laughter!

After that, the ‘salted prawns’- cooking the prawns with lots of salt was invented. The results… except for the too salty prawns, the rest of the seafood tasted good!

In the end, everyone got excited, instead of just adding the [lao shu fen] into the soup, we made a “lao shu fen fried with egg” dish!

I did not make any special dish, just ‘designed’ a ‘cowboy fruity ice-cream’. Nothing special with its taste, but it looked quite cute oh! Why was it given such name? Because it was made by [Da Niu](Daniel’s nick) using fruits and ice-cream!

Today’s RM20 eat all you can meal was not only delicious but fun. It was quite a rewarding meal wo!

“Ho Chak”…eating…

Sept 7th, 2006

I haven’t been to pasar malam for quite some time.
Last night, I was the guest of “Ho Chak” & we were at Connaught pasar malam eating “chou dou fu”(very strong-smelling fermented bean curd).

I hadn’t taken the “chou dou fu” for a long long time. In fact, the last time I ate it was at Tai Zhong, 2 or 3 years ago.

In the show, I was bullied …..
Wanna know what happened? Stay tuned to “Ho Chak’ loh!

Going to Penang

Sept 8th,2006

Dear friends, I’m going to Penang and may not be online for a few days.
Anyway, see Penang friends there lo!

[paris]

Leaving some messages.

September 12th, 2006

Hello, I’m back! Happy to read all the messages!

But, I’ll balik kampung for a few days, to stay away from the bustling city to have a good rest and to recharge.

Actually, I had a busy weekend at Penang and some interesting things happened which I would like to share with all of you. Wait till I get back to K.L. to chat because it is inconvenient for me now as I’m not using my own computer.

So, I’ll just leave some messages here! Hi!

P/S: I have the intention of getting myself a 'fruit brand' laptop (since last year but have not found myself a good excuse to buy it yet. I think I have found a reason to get it now!

[sevelynn]

September 16th

My god! I've been looking for so long but couldn't find it.
I even gave up looking for them.
I thought maybe it's really been stolen, no choice, forget about it.

Then,
2 months later...

I thought of clearing the things in my bag to another bigger one.
At the same time clean up the stuff inside, so i 'pour' everything out from inside the bag.
Suddenly i felt very weird, why is there something still stuck inside.
Felt as if there is something in between the compartments!
I thought there is some 'secret compartment'.
Looking at it carefully, rupa-rupanya in the bag there's a zipped pocket, i opened and see...

Oh! These two items had been 'kidnapped' for two months in that secret compartment.
I thought that this new mobile phone of mine was stolen after using it for just awhile!
And this BB card I've bought it for several times.
The staff in the shop selling this BB card even asked me,
"Eh, you pernah beli sekali, kan?"
"Oh, tak lah! sudah beli 3 kali..."
OMG! I totally forgotten, there really is a secret compartment in this bag.
Most probably because inside is black colour, too dark so i didn't notice.

Now that i've found it, really gratifying & saddening at the same time!

[sevelynn]

(Sorry peeps, didn't notice he posted new post... a bit too late to translate this already)

September 17th, 2006

Since the day i went back to Penang, my sleeping time seems to be getting back to normal.

Now, very naturally i'll get out of bed before sun rise. Today was no exception. I think the night before going back to penang, just to pack my stuff, I slept very little. Early morning the next day, I already had to get ready to go to penang. During the journey we stopped and go, stopped and go, slept and woke up, woke up then sleep again. When reached Penang, we ate and rehearse etc, there wasn't time to really catch a good sleep. Until at night, i felt like sleeping. I doze off straight away. So, the next day, the sky was just about to brighten, i'd already woke up...

Since that day onwards, i kept 'san zou lau lau' (very early) disturb other people to accompany me for breakfast. Today... i guess i have to eat in the airport, because i have to go to JB to perform.

Friends in JB, see you all tonight lo!

To be continued... still got a lot of photos.

[sevelynn]

This weekend going to Cherating with everybody to have fun.
Yesterday went shopping, bought two pairs of slippers. So i mumble and talked to myself. (>.<")

"Why buy two pairs ah?"

"Aih, you don't understand 1 lah! I realize it's been many years that i don't own a pair of slippers. Now I buy two pairs, not very demanding lah!"

"But takkan you have "4 legs", wearing two pairs at the same time?"

"True also hor..."

Nevermind, this is a once in a long time, uncontrollable "shua ping" (direct translation from the english word - SHOPPING >.<" ) desire.

I buy things is because i feel like buying, and enjoy the fun of shopping, not really because i need to buy.
But, i'm this bad, i buy for myself but i won't buy for other people.

You say, are you this type of person too?

September 19th, 2006

[sevelynn]

September 22nd, 2006

Maybe because too long never shopping, once i spent today, i spend quite a lot.

Friends always told me: "Since you like shopping, you should go Bangkok, sure you'll buy till crazy'. Almost everyone i know who goes to Bangkok also shop like crazy. I think, in KL i can buy so much just in one afternoon, if i go to Thailand i will be like what Ah Lian said, like those Ah Po who open stall at the road side, carry two big bags on both hands and come back. Ha! If i have the chance to go, I think my 'harvest' will be the same. Ha ha ha...

Everybody keep saying, go ah! If want to go, go together, A airline's ticket is very cheap! Find some time we go for a couple of days also not bad! Then, few days ago, R told me on MSN saying: "Haadyai kena bomb, I can holiday already, yeah..."

Ar? BOMB!!! I pun mau pi Holiday mah, kena BOMB!!! Yau mou gao chor ar! (Apalar!)

Aiyah, when only can i go?

September 23rd, 2006

These 3 days 2 nights work schedule is 'travelling'. This time will be going to Cherating with some lucky fans.

Journey begins loh!!!

[sevelynn]

September 27th, 2006

Club Med sponsored my repack album, so they sent me and a few lucky ones (xing yun er) for a holiday at Cherating's Club Med.

Yeah! After being busy for so long, finally i got chance to go holiday.

I remember many years ago, when going to Kuala Terengganu with my family, we passed by CHerating, felt like staying there for a holiday. But it was full house. Then only i know that if you want to go CHerating, you must make sure you made "BOOKING" then only you go oh!

After a bus journey of about 5 hours, passed by a short journey of forest, we reached Cherating, Club Med this lovely place.

It is a really magnificent, very comforting, just like a 'modern' village. Because this whole Village was designed like a Malay kampung, but it has many facilities, and also a lot of things to play, there are Trapeze, Bungy bounce, rock climbing, archery, roller blade, all sorts of ball games, and also kayaking, yacht etc. Makan, main all is included inside the package, don't have to pay extra, eat and play unlimited!!!

But to me, the most valuable, most enjoyable, is to be able to dive into the arms of South China Sea.

Cherating's beach is very clean, the sea water is very clear till you can see the bottom! The sea's horizontal line, you can only see the water in a line with the sky, the sky simetrical with the sea. You can't see the ending line, all you see is the sea, no land. Exotic.

For pictures please view http://tristooges.com/cms/blog/2006/09/27/cherating-club-med-%e4%b9%8b%e6%97%85-%ef%bc%881%ef%bc%89/

[sevelynn]

Hardly a chance to wear slippers, short pants, singlet, hat, of course this is the best opportunity, for myself to relax relax a bit.

Ahh, this feeling is not bad, maybe because... it's been a long time since i wear slippers, short pants, singlet and walk around relaxingly. Or, to give myself an excuse, to buy 2 pairs of slippers, wear one time only satisfied? Ha...

Sometimes got opportunity, should let me Daniel Lee Chee Hun go on a holiday, don't need to be an artist a few days, play kau kau! Let the brain rest awhile, don't need to think so much. Actually when holiday should play kau kau, relax oneself. When I just convinced myself about this:This is still a public place, do i still need to control a bit? Ha ha, first day, i slowly relax myself, and went to the sea with everybody to play, and take photos.

Dinner time,
is time to 'transform' lo...



Zoom zoom zoooom......


The dinner theme that night was elegAnt night, wear a red shirt, slacks, match with a tie.


HA! Time to go lo... to go for dinner...

The dinner that night was very plentiful, got western food chinese food japanese food korean food indian food malay food etc, and also all sorts of 'dessert'. Haha! Really yummy, but, i can't eat much in a night, so i choose to eat more desserts. Frankly, I ate quite a lot of main course la. Hee hee...

After dinner, there is a party. That time i think i became crazy, don't care about my own identity, play along with everybody. Yeah!!!

[sevelynn]

So fast oh! It's already October. I heard lately a lot of people are having exams! Are you ready? Must gambate ah! Don't be so playful, don't always online and not study. The time left is not much, work hard for this period and you'll have freedom. If after exam only regret, it'll be too late if you still want to work hard.

If you think revising alone is boring, call some friends to do study group together, discuss together. I personally think this way is very effective. Because you can divide the chapters and subjects for different people, then sit down together and discuss, tell 'story'. By this way you can spread the task, each of you don't have to study so much, and easier to remember by listening, easy to digest. When doing exercises, when you don't know also you can discuss with each other.

Have you started already?

Gambateh la!

October 3rd, 2006

Although it's been awhile since the Cherating trip, but the story hasn't finished, photos not finished viewing yet. So, today still continue chat oh...

2nd day, 5.30 in the morning...

"Me and you ah... situated in a dangerous relationship..."

Oh, that's just my phone alarm clock ringing, nothing nothing. The ringtone is A-Mei's <Ren Zhi> (Hostage), lyrics: Coldplay jie, song: Brother Ah Ren. Haha...

Why wake up so early on that day? Because want to go and watch sun rise.

But, unfortunately, that morning the sky was cloudy and grey, can't see the sun. Sigh, hope tomorrow can see lo!

After breakfast, we went and play by the beach.

Today the beach is really nice, rising tide, cool breeze, warm seawater, and sunny weather! And, today i got more familiar with everyone, so, i played with everybody. And very crazily played everything.

Jump up and down, the fun of going up the mountain, going down the sea, are my favorites. The best was Kayaking. And kayaking on the sea, is superably fun! Because banging the waves are very shiok! Feels a bit like surfing.

When kayaking, i innocently thought... actually, if i row this kayak, can i go to the faraway places? Bring food, when tired can rest, eat, or sleep awhile, then continue to row, can ar? Haha... Suddenly, one big wave came.

My boat overturn! =_="

Experiment proves that: Don't dream too much, that's impossible!

October 4th, 2006

Cham lor, recently i'm very forgetful. Forgetful till kind of serious.

That day, went to a minority bank in Malaysia to bank-in a cheque. Because I've to go to a place i've never been before, so I asked around my friends, and went online to find the map. Then, i left home straight away. When reached the bank, i realize, where's the cheque? Find the whole bag also can't find, is it hidden in the 'secret compartment' again? Keep finding for it, still can't find. So i rush back home, see whether i dropped it anywhere.

Reached home... Rupa-rupanya, when i was about to leave, i put the cheque on the table, and left, forgot to take. Sigh! No choice, but to go back again.

Then, that day was to go for a recording, clothes, pants, belt, shoe, all ready, everything packed in a bag, then i hang my shirt up, put together. THen, when about to leave, i forgot to take the shirt from the back of my door. Kik sei!!!

Luckily the director only ask for casual clothing, so it's OK.

And today again. Just now, when going for vocal class, same thing. CD, lyrics, notepad, everything i need for class, handphone, wallet, keys etc I packed. When walked outside, closed the door, I count again, what i didn't bring. Then realize, ah! Need to bring clothes to change, so ran in to take and rush out again. Because wasted a long time to think, what need to bring somemore...

After class, when want to go home then i realize, wallet leh? Oh, my god! I think when went in to take my clothes, i left my wallet at home, forgot to take. So, i was stuck at the parking. Because no money to pay parking, and rushing to leave!!!! Ah!!! At first wanted to go to the bank to take money, also cannot. Cuz no ATM card, and no account book. How? Faster call my colleague to come and help me pay.

So suey... Geram!

May I ask is there any way to solve this problem? Is there anything i can eat to nourish my brain?

[sevelynn]

Worked in this apple laptop computer shop before, at that time I’d already like their products. Actually before working there, I already had interest in it. Maybe because of that, I worked there ba.

Honestly, that time I only know: Wah, these computers are so beautiful! Slowly, I became more familiar with these computers, and I understood more about their ability and advantages, I can make my own video, make demo recording, manage my pictures, and even shoot those sticker photos! Sometimes, when outside drinking coffee, saw other people carrying a “laptop which has apple light behind’, I really envy them. So wanting to have one for my own.

Since then, I worked hard and earn money, “when I got money, I would like to buy one.”

Now, my dream finally come true. I finally have my own laptop, and is apple brand one. So nice oh!

Actually I’m very touched. Because I bought a very expensive laptop for myself, it means I’ve grown up, have my own ability to buy something for myself, but still so immature, insisting on buying this brand.

Few days ago, suddenly i had the urge to tidy up my room. Because besides a lot of soft toys, there are also a lot of rubbish. Including the lantern i bought the other day, also don't know what to do with it. Mid Autumn Festival is already over, want to throw also cannot, if were to keep it, it will be till next year? So...

So hang it inside my room la!

Previously I hung the toy airplanes from the "FEI" mv in my room, now already took them down, and the strings used to hang them are still hanging down from the ceiling, so I hung up the lanterns, cute!

Since the air outside is so dirty, so the feeling of celebrate Mid Autumn Festival in the room is not bad afterall! I can light up some candles, eat some mooncakes, sing songs, also can!

When I stayed in Taiwan last time, i experienced using Zhu Yin (Taiwan's style of typing chinese words - like our han yu pin yin) to type traditional chinese words. That is because that time i was too bored, so i tried using mobile phone's zhu yin to type sms. Played awhile like that, actually i learnt a lot of things, at least i know that there are 37 different symbols in zhu yin. Slowly, i typed from the mobile phone to my friend's computer.

Till now, it's been a very long time since i used zhu yin, to the extend that I forgot what symbol is what sound. But, my new laptop has the zhu yin typing method, so suddenly had the urge to learn again. So i purposely went online to search for information on zhu yin, i even jot down the symbols and pin yin to practice.

And, I set the whole laptop's language to traditional chinese. Haha... But, there are some functions terminology I still don't understand, occasionally have to flip through the English dictionary to refer. Rupa-rupanya "kao bei"'s meaning is "copy". It's kinda fun.

Today i practiced typing 'You Ji''s lyrics. Because slowly I'm getting used to the zhu yin's symbols, so the more i type, the more hyper i get. But i think that looking at the paper and look at the keyboard to type is too slow. So i decided to write down all the zhu yin again, and stick on the keyboard.

Haha! Isn't it nice!
Although, will there be an opportunity to stay long in Taiwan is still unknown, but I start learning zhu yin and familiar with traditional chinese words setting, at least when i go to taiwan i won't face "don't-know-how-to-use-computer' this problem ah!

Yeah! Today, the first time, I'm in Singapore...

My passport can finally be used after being 'chilled' for so long.
I come to Singapore this time is to meet up with Lee Hom, have a cup of tea, shopping.

PS: Heehee! I mean I come to Singapore yum cha alone, shop alone, you think I'm really that close to Lee Hom? Ha ha!! I came to see Lee Hom's concert la! Can't wait to see his performance tomorrow.

Actually Singapore to me is like a stranger to me. At this place, what's there to do? Shopping? What's there to shop?

Yes,

I went to LeeHom’s concert…

And yes,

we met…

Thanks to my SONYBMG’s bosses for bringing me to the backstage to say hello to LeeHom as a respect. Well, we didn’t have chance to talk much, nor taking picture, but so happy that he still remember me. I was the blur blur host who interviewed him.

And too bad, we can’t bring camera into the concert, but everyone doesn’t bother. I still see flashes everywhere, so bad la. But since everyone did so…… “I pun curi-curi take la…”

SHHhhhhh……

(I take nice nice picture, not simply take one, OK!)

But next time, please don’t take picture in concerts, this has been disobeyed the rules, artists have their image rights. We have to respect… Sometimes… Hehe…
Am I confusing anyone?

Anyway, it’s a happy trip for me to Singapore this time, I think I have learned something new from the concert, meeting a real big star, having a holiday, but the most important thing that is I actually feel so free and comfy being just a boy next door that hanging around in Orchard Road, taking pictures everywhere, and nobody bother what’s the stupid freak doing here. Taking picture with “the rambutans on the ground” as well. I think Singaporean doesn’t know who am I, yet… but a few… Or maybe they are Malaysian who went to Singapore, Hahahaha……

Shopping? Mmm… Too bad again, not much time for this trip. Coz I spent about a whole day in Sentosa Island, one night at Night Safari, another night for the concert……

But I do enjoy doing window shopping, looking around, understanding the culture in Singapore, “No smoking, no Singlish, no chewing gum, no spitting…” But how kiasu are they, I didn’t realize. Maybe the next trip?

PS: I like this phrase that always used in Singapore, “d*mn Chia Lat“. = meaning very very terrible.

Thanks to Uncle Taxi Driver.

In today's event, I received a very special gift -- fruits.

October 28th night, I was at Stadium Indera Kayangan in Perlis, together with Yang Dipertuan Agong and Prime Minister, celebrating Hari Raya with the locals together. Together with me there were our 'mother' nanny (Sev: I don't understand this), Jeff, and also Jaclyn Victor, and her foreign friend, Christopher John... (Wah, what a long name!)

8.40am, the plane landed in the center of the paddy fields, we reached Alor Setar's airport. Then, we travel on "Bomba & Penyelamatan Malaysia"'s bus to Perlis's capital, Kangar.

Sitting in this bus really has this Balik Kampung feel. Suddenly I miss the times when I ride the bus to tuition and school during secondary school. I remember I still have to think properly, sit left or right, in front or at the back. Ha, a long story...

Because from Changlun to Alor Setar is from North to South, when sitting bus, Left is East and right is West. In the morning the sun rises from the East, so we will choose to sit on the West side, which is on the right side of the bus. So we can avoid from the sun. And in the evening going back home, is from South to North, the left side is West and right side is East. Because the sun set on the west. so we'll choose to sit on the East side, which is the right side of the bus. So now you understand my meaning??? ANyway, it doesn't matter... Now the buses have curtains, totally don't have to worry about this problem.

All the way from airport to Kangar, you'll see a world of green. If not green paddy fields, then it's green hills and mountains. I fell that Jitra is really a very comfortable place, filled with 'Kampung' taste. Coming to this small city, is it a lot of 'stories of small city' (Sev: xiao cheng gu shi - a Chinese song title)? I don't know.

After 40 minutes of bus ride, we arrived at one of Kangar's hotel. And this hotel is when I was young, the place where my parents brought us for swimming. Unfortunately, there's no time for swimming this time.

__________________________________________________ ____

Rest for awhile, we went to the stadium for rehearsal.

During rehearsal, I start to feel that this performance, should be very interesting. There are artists from the three main races and also a lot of dances altogether, some even ride the bicycle out.

The playful me, of course won't let go of this chance, I also want to ride on the bicycle! But, of course I won't be riding bicycle on that night la! It's been a very long time since I ride it, this time I even had a chance to ride on this so-called "basikal zaman Jepun", a very old fashioned bicycle. Antique oh! Looks like this mode of transportation has been abandoned.

After finish rehearsing, the hot day slowly turned gloomy.

Rainy clouds filled the whole sky...

It started to rain!

On the way back to the hotel, I was really worried it will rain on that night. If it really rains, habis loh... Hardly a chance to have so many artists coming to Perlis to perform, if it rains then it's really wasted, what will happen to those dancers dancing or cycling bicycle below stage? And if there's no audience, still have to sing?

Still very cloudy...

Luckily when we were about to go to the stadium, the rain stopped. The sunset looks really beautiful. Really makes me more eager to go out of city more often to have fun and explore. There's no need to go overseas or places faraway, this place is already really good.

At night, It's time to perform...

This time i'm not singing my own song, but a song that represents my feeling on that night which is "Balik Kampung".

After ending tonight's performance, although really tired, but I feel very happy. All performing artists received a small gift from Yang Dipertuan Agong, inside filled with 'things not seen for a very long time' Kuih Raya. Because since I left Changlun, seldom I have chance to eat this type of Hari Raya desserts. Really super delicious!

Really miss this type of life, staying in a small place. If i have time I will always Balik kampung.

*PS: Actually when the 'Bomba & Penyelamatan Malaysia' bus pass the toll, they don't have to pay. (Edited: November 2nd, 2006 Daniel Lee)

Time pass by really fast, one more week and it's PWH Award Ceremony! My friends asked me, are you ready? Are you nervous?

"Ha, what's there to be nervous of!" Memang is nervous, but still want to 'lie'. But what am I nervous of actually? Is it because I really mind getting an award? Hee hee.......

Speaking of getting ready, actually what's there to get ready of? What to wear on that night? Get ready my winning speech? Or get ready to bring tissue? Because attending an award ceremony and a exam result announcement feels the same, so i think on that night 'somebody' will cry, this way it will be useful. If it's the same as result announcement day, now the only thing i can prepare, is to be 'mentally prepared', because impossible that at this moment I still work very hard and i'll get number one ah! Unless if I work hard for the next 'exam' session, then I got nothing to say... Gambateh!

Sometimes I will want to say, getting an award is an encouragement, to strive harder. But occasionally people say that, failure is the mother of success, so we also still need to work harder oh...

Kesimpulannya: I think, for the sake of oneself's dream, no matter you get an award or not, we still need to work hard. Continue gambateh lah!

I hope in this year's PWH, will have good result. But in case if it's not good, also nevermind lah! Because I know i received a lot, a lot of support, so hereby I would like to first thank those friends that had given me a big assurance. Thank you all...

Sekian, terima kasih.

Tonight November 11th, will be Malaysia's Chinese Music Industry's grandest event. A rare chance for local and international artists to gather around. Myself who always sits infront of the TV watching awards ceremony, is the first time participating in this grand Yu Xie Jiang award ceremony. Hope tonight i'll enjoy and have fun, and return home filled with knowledge.

Here i wish everybody: Happy Yu Xie Jiang.

See you tonight.

Waiting for your presence lo!

Ah........

I'm back, finally I can online. From Yu Xie Jiang Eve till now, I don't have the time to rest properly. Before and after the big day were filled with work. From North sing until South, from below the hill sing till above the hill, and from above the hill sing till below the hill. Really quite tiring, sleep awhile first.

Later will share with you my feelings and stories of Yu Xie Jiang. Why not you share yours first!

ZZZzzzzz............

(Sev: A must read!!! Very touching... One of the most touching posting I've read :D )

November 15th, 2006 Daniel Lee

I always thought that, Yu Xie Jiang is still very far from me. But, I realize, I see it wrongly. 2006 November 11th's Yu Xie Jiang, is not a ceremony to gather around wearing formal coats and dresses, but a very meaningful day for me: I graduated, and for me I graduated with good results.

That night, I totally felt Yu Xie's care towards me, huge fans support, and also good comments from seniors, I felt very touched.

Honestly, some times before this, I always felt that things that i've done already reach the neck of the bottle, it's like there's no more improvement, instead a tendency of moving backwards. Everytime there's performance, it's like nothing special; everytime i meet the media, there's no topic to talk about; everytime i see the fans' undying support, i don't know what more can i do for them; everytime i do one thing, i don't have confidence anymore. I'm really feeling a little bit down, but don't want to let everybody know. Because I believe that people who cares for me will be even more worried for me, sad for me. (Don't believe, try and see.)

But, after the previous Yu Xie Jiang, I felt that you guys found back my confidence. Suddenly I felt like I received very, very big encouragement, even to the extend that I myself can't digest it.

Could it be the 6 human statue, that makes me so happy? The one I have to thank is still Yu Xie, it is them who let me know that, actually my fans love me so much, let me feel that everyone cares for me, so I would like to thank you all here. Besides, Yu Xie placed me in that night's grandest session, which is allowing me together with 6 other Malaysian artists who are very famous abroad, standing in one line performing together for everybody. Finally, I understood, being a nominee for "Media Recommendation Award", is really "a big thing"! Don't joke.

After that night, everytime I shake one's hand, I received quite a good response. Really very happy, I felt that on that night I'm totally not inferior. How can I be down, no confidence?

Here, I really would like to thank you all who gave me your slowly accumulated encouragement, allowing me to gain back my confidence, to face the future.

Thank you: Yu Xie, all the juries, all the media; My music company SONY BMG, boss Adrian, Sue, Joey, Soh Ling, and colleagues of other departments; Management Company The8Unit, boss Jacynta, Jeff, Michael, Chris, Queenie; ex-colleagues Kah Ying, CheeYuen, Rachel; Producers and composers, Jue Long, Naikong and Soon, Azlan, Greg Hendorson, Guo Xiang, etc; My guitar teacher, violin teacher, vocal teacher and all music teachers; my family, dad mum big sister second sister younger brother younger sister, all my relatives and friends; those who worked with me in the music journey, Kai Xuan, Xin Wei, Ah Yu, Ah Ping, Li Ming, Song Jin, Rong Ping, Yin Shi, Han Lun, Jia Hui, Hai Wei, Zhi Xiang, Guo Hui, Yun Hao, Pei Shi, Yi Qin, Hui Wen, Ruo Yi, Justin, Xiao Mei, friends from Xuan Chuang Studio, Yu He Xuan Studio, Geng Mong Studio etc; all musicians and artists friends, the 13 units of newbies students, nominees of Media Recommendation Award Guang Liang, Gary, Penny, Nic Teo, Yu Zhong and Fish Leong; and also fans and friends who always love me, especially the Pinkies who are online everyday to support me. Thank you.

[sevelynn]

Did you realize: On that night very often I'm the first artist to come out.

On the red carpet, after the emcees walked, "Daniel, you're the first to go! Remember, reach there earlier lo."

Oh! Ok, no problem.

At night, after the opening ceremony ended, presenting the first award, the 3 SMS voted awards: "The winner is, Daniel Lee..." Wa, I haven't even warm up the chair, not even calmed down yet, already have to go up stage to receive the awards, a bit blur, as if I don't know what to do after getting the awards. Because this is the first time i participate in the music industry's award ceremony, and also the first winner of the night, suddenly cannot remember what other people do. So, on stage I was a bit nervous, also scared that I can't present my speech well, or scared to be chased down the stage by the music when i'm not done with my speech...

Luckily, i think i thanked all the important people lah!

During the newbies performance session, I was told by the dance teacher, "Daniel! The first group to go out is you all lah! Remember, after two counts of the music, then faster come out ah! But cannot be too fast also oh! Ok, if you don't walk properly, the people behind will be messy, so your responsibility is very big."

Ah!!! I'm okay. And also very smooth going...

The event is reaching the end, the event i look forward to the most is here, 7 nominees for "Media Recommendation Award" are ready to sing on stage. I was standing behind the elevated stage stand by. Suddenly:

"The winner is... Daniel Lee!"

"Na li qu xun zao you ji de ai..."

What happened actually? My award? Or Jue Long's award? I believe the friends standing backstage with me also don't know what award is being presented. Went up the stage, I only know 'congratulations', don't even know what award did i get. The award presenters told me is audience choice, voted by the audience.

Oh...!

Therefore, I really made a mistake. Really pai seh! (3 lines) (Sev: Meaning swt =_=") I thought "You Ji" won audience choice, so the speech didn't really relate to what I got. I believe that, those of you watching sure keep saying: "Aiya, say wrong dee la! La la la..."

So, hereby I say to all of you: Really so sorry! I totally didn't know what was going on on stage that time.

Ok, this matter has past, wrong is wrong, forget it, because after that, among the 7 of us, again, I'm the first up to perform, so there wasn't time to think too much, rushed to the backstage. Once reached the backstage, not even ready, the music for "fei' started! "Hello, the elevated stage haven't even come down totally yet!" Then, I just jump up straight away, and sing. At that time, both my legs are still shivering, cannot stand properly. The first half was a bit scared, but luckily didn't affect my overall performance.

Kesimpulannya, my performance overall that night, can be said as passed smoothly... Yeah!

Is it because I've not watched DVD for a long time, or I really still love it.

The fist time watching this concert, I remember I was only 17 years old. That time was shown on MTV, I even used the recorder to record it down. From cassette to buying the VCD; and many years later, from VCD to buying DVD... Until now, it's still my favorite concert DVD, to the extend that won't be bored even after hundreds of times watching it.

I've always love The Corrs' Ireland ethnic cultural pop music, plus this time there's newly arranged unplugged compositions, makes me even more crazily in love with it. I also really like their stage design, which is a stage which has no stage, and the singers sitting on the high stools sit very closely with the audiences. Matching with soft and dim lights, the whole atmosphere is very comforing, very relax.

Other than enjoying this concert, I also learned a lot of things from this DVD. If you have a Surround sound system, you can hear, each of the 5 speakers will transmit different music instruments and vocals. If you sit in the center, that feeling is really wonderful, it's like i'm at the concert as well.

In this concert DVD, you will hear:

- Left speaker (LF) there's lead guitar, violin and Sharon's harmonizing

- Center speaker (C) there's drums, bass guitar, vocal Andrea.

- Right speaker (RF) there's rhythm guitar, piano, tin flute, Jim or Caroline's harmonizing

- Left Back Speaker (LR) there's orchestra's violin, viola, brass and wind instruments.

- Right Back Speaker (LR) there's orchestra's cello, accordian and percussion.

Because of this, I slowly understand some knowledge on mixing music. Furthermore, the music broadcasted from these five speakers, I can even clearly hear all the musical instruments and harmonizing rhythm, so I am trying to learn, the music instruments in this unplugged and the instruments which can be found in my life, such as violin, cello, piano, tin flute etc. Then i followed the music inside the DVD to play, slowly I gain huge interest in composing music.

Previously, there was once a composing competition I also followed such unplugged way, composed a song (tune) for a friend, there's piano, bass guitar, two violins, one cello, one trumpet, and a little cymbal. The comment given was not bad, but because the tune at that time wasn't the most important part, but the people who compose the lyrics are the noticed ones, so I was only a small, unknown composer. But I really enjoy the process of making music together.

Since then, I added a wish in my life: I also want a stage which has no stage, sitting on a high stool, sitting together with friends who love music, doing an unplugged concert.

*I wanted to learn violin, it was also because in year 98, the Commonwealth Games in Malaysia, i saw The Corrs performing for the closing ceremony, and started to have a bigger interest in violins.

Few days never blogging, once come here I have to tell a heart-breaking but funny bad news... sigh.....

Yesterday noon went to Sri Pentas, it was raining heavily, I didn't have an umbrella in the car, so I took my bag pack, come down from the car and ran out quickly. Due to the rain, slippery, so I lost control, accidentally slipped and fell, like a bowling ball I bang down the outside rubbish bin.
"STRIKE"! The time I fell I only know that to climb back to my feet quickly, didn't think about what happened. I didn't even feel pain or anything, maybe my bag pack saved me! And thanks to the pakcik outside the door help me up, and also the ever caring kakak, keep asking if i'm okay? Hurt anywhere? La la la... Actually, i'm really okay, just feeling a bit 'dai sei' (padan muka).

=_="

At night, I took out my "apple", found out... oh! How come there's a big wound? Really my fault my fault, actually when I fell down that evening, I hurt the "apple" in my bag pack. Really heart-breaking! Luckily the hardware inside is safe, the laptop still can operate as normal, just that the outer part looks a bit serious, but nothing much actually.

Then, I emailed the apple photo to my ex-colleague in the Apple center i worked last time, actually is my own sister la! I asked her, what can i do now?

She replied me.

(Refer to pic in Daniel's blog)

Knock knock also can ar? Okaylah, have to bring it to see doctor again!

Come, this time make another kesimpulan.

Kesimpulannya: Nowadays the weather is pretty bad, if it isn't a hot sunny day then it's rainy, so bring an umbrealla if you go out, besides shading from the sun, it can also be used as a 'tool of protection against "colour wolf" (flashers)'. How wonderful...

(Sev: Well, I don't know if the title is correct... I just directly translate from Chinese)

After watching this love story, feel that it's really nice...

Her boyfriend quietly broke up with her on the rainy day.
His sister is bedridden for very long, and passed away quietly.

She searched every possible place, but still cannot find her love which left quietly.
He also searched each different sky, but could not find the sky that smiles at him.

She kept lying to herself, so she won't feel too sad.
He kept riding on the motorcycle, so that he will feel happier.

She likes the sea, she thinks that the sea is a promise.
He likes the sky, he thinks that the sky has expression.

She looks forward to the beach side promise, to watch the 'light' together. Because the book said: "When you saw that light, the person sitting next to you, is your eternal partner."
He looks forward to the sky smiling at him. Because his sister said: "If one day, I left, you must look at the sky, I will smile at you..."

Actually, they found it...

Suddenly, I also felt like going outdoor to play the piano; and also felt like taking a walk outside...

[sevelynn]

I think I'm a person who likes to say one but do another. Usually I say I am not choosy in food, but always don't eat this, don't eat that; always say don't like to listen to who who who's song, but suddenly became his or her fans...

Yesterday is a very good example.

Yesterday afternoon, during a magazine interview, I said: "Actually, I not really like movies, because often I don't understand the content of the story, feel that watching movies are not my entertainment activities." After I said that, at night, I went and watch two movies in a row with my friend. Besides, one day before that I went and watch a premier movie, tomorrow I really really feel like "watching movies with you" again liao. Haha! Suddenly I feel that actually my sense towards movies are not that bad as i imagine.

Maybe because when I was small I didn't have many chances to go to the cinemas. Partly because I who grown up in a small place, this small city don't have good facilities to watch movies, and the nearest cinema from my house is 1 hour away by bus. I think therefore my friends and family don't have "watch movies" as a hobby.

After I shift to Penang, know more friends, I realize they have a habit of watching movies often, myself will join them once in awhile. But I realize everytime after watching, i don't understand the content of the story, to the extent that a lot of times i yawn in the cinema. ZZZzzzzz........

However, lately it seems weird, I slowly become addicted to "watching movies"... After this what should I watch?

[Lilywhite]

This year, my x'mas is different from last year.
I went to the plantation with my family, very fun!!!
I could pluck & eat the fruit at the same time. The rambutan was fresh, chewy, juicy & not too sweet.
Knowing that durian would fall from the tree but they say durians have eyes, therefore it wouldn't fall on your head, do you believe it?
Papaya...papaya tree...is so beautiful.
At the plantation, we will definitely meet some " good friends" such as snakes, frog, insects and cameleons. Can u see it ? (Look at the pic).. Errr....goosebumps!!!!!!
I have eaten some rambutan, durian, mangosteen, banana, papaya etc....and i also brought some home.
The transportation at the plantation was a pickup truck! It was so fun to walk on the truck ( huh? Daniel, you walked on the pickup truck ?).
I remember the last time I rode this type of truck when I was in primary school. I used to follow the uncle's (my neighbour) truck back after school. Since then, I didn't ride a pickup truck again....really miss it...

January 16th, 2007 Daniel Lee

Halo, I'm back! Been a long time never blogging liao. Sorry, sometimes when I don't know what to write, it became that I don't know how to write, and causing everybody to became worried, very curious, don't know am I okay recently. Actually I'm okay, just a bit dull, lack of some stimulation and challenge. Haha, just joking... Anyhow everything is not bad lah!

This time I bring back "2nd round of photo shooting craze", this time is not self-photoshooting oh, is our my family's photography boss, which is my dad going into action himself.

"The story begins like this..." Haha!

Big sis knows that my youngest sis just graduated from secondary school, haven't get a job, and Xiao Mei (youngest sis) has interest in photography all the while, so she suggested forming a photography troupe, helping to take portraits of other people, do some small business. Coincidently I went back hometown that time, so I helped giving them ideas, and comments. At that time the more we talk the more high, when it comes to finding the place, everybody is eager to go out to "audition", even dad and mum also followed us out, shooting at the Changlun green fields.

We realize that, Changlun really has a lot of beautiful places to take photos.

(See pics from his blog)
This is taken by my dad.

Unconciously, we walked further and further. Walk till we almost reached a "Mount of Myth", i don't know what it's called, but we call it as "Elephant Mount", because it looks like an elephant. This is a small kampung in Kedah, almost reaching the border of Perlis already.

The view there is really very picturesque, feels like a land of eternal peace far from the madding crowd, no vandelism, no pollution by the modern world, even the roads are small until I have to go down from the car to open it up.

Back to the topic of venue for photoshooting, we finally decide that going back to Changlun to shoot is the best. Because we think that taking photo there is beautiful enough, and it's convenient for everybody. But once in awhile if want to adventure, it's not bad here lah, hahaha!

Look at some of our artworks:

(View pics from blog)

During shooting, dad also shared his experience last time using films to take photos. He said there were no advanced computer technologies last time, everything depends on the camera programs, and a roll of film can only take 36 shots and must be used economically. Sometimes when we met 'models' who are a bit chubby what can we do? No choice, the best is to hide in the grass field, if not think of ways not to snap the full body then. Thinking back it sounds really funny. And now taking photos, it doesn't cost much, take as many as you want, because we use memory card. And, if the model is not pretty enough, we can use computer graphics to fix it. Just that there are more workloads after the shooting. But if the end result is good, it's worth it although much effort is put in.

Hereby I wish that my sisters' photo troupe all the best in their business undertakings! Happy New Year...

Not Yellow, Not Green, and Not Red
February 9th, Daniel Lee

Cham! Really very long never update my blog. Perhaps all my "customers" all ran away already.

But all my customers, today's main point is not to advertise a new product, but to share with everyone, my new toothbrush. Haha, it's an electronic toothbrush, quite practical.

Aiyah, also said not advertising product! First, look at the picture below.

(Refer to pic in blog)

Just only realized that, my toothbrush is the same colour as this jacket of mine! So coincident. I never favored orange, white, sea blue this three colours. And these two things are really so so so coincident, lots of blue, average orange and little white.

Hmpf.... Perhaps these are my lucky colours for the new year.

Shirt Folding Machine!!!?
March 8th, 2007 Daniel Lee

It?s been quite some time I really fell sick, therefore last week due to the changing weather, suddenly fell sick. I believe perhaps a lot of people are the same like me, flu fever headache cough etc all come together. But don?t worry, I recovered already. The only thing is during the period I was sick it seems like all I do is sleep, at night sleep, morning also sleep. Even my colleagues and friends also worried for awhile, why suddenly cannot find Daniel. Ha...

In the boring days between sleeping and not sleeping, I found a new creation, ?shirt folding machine?!

(Refer to blog for pictures)

Because I am always troubled having a big pile of unfolded clothes in my room, therefore I learned a very powerful shirt folding technique online the other day, everybody must watch oh!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQ34VDOajbo

First, stick this shape according to the particular measurement (refer to the youtube clip to know what?s the measurement), then place the shirt in the center...

(Refer to step-by-step pictures in the blog) :D

Fold the right sleeve, fold the left sleeve...

Then fold up from the bottom.

Deng deng deng deng.... done! Isn?t it interesting!!!

The Eye Of Titiwangsa Lake Garden
March 9th, 2007

I believe a lot of people knows about this place, but have you been there?

Eye On Malaysia
Location: Titiwangsa Lake Garden
Opening Time: Open whole year, 10am ? 10pm daily
Height: 60 meters
Specialty: Overlooking a circumference of 20 meters scope of KL sceneries
Duration: 12 minutes
Gondola: 41 normal gondolas which can seat 8 person, 1 VIP gondola which can seat 4 person
Weight that can be sustained by the ferris wheel: 25200 KG

Since young until now I?ve never been to Titiwangsa Lake Garden, finally there?s one time I went due to work, then only I know that it?s so big there, very beautiful. Plus the newly built Eye On Malaysia, it?s really worth a visit.

Therefore, few days later, friends invited me to go there for fun, to see.

At first I really think that the ferris wheel is a boring toy, not challenging, and not much fun to play. But I think, it depends on who you go with! This is what princess told me. Ferris wheel actually is not something fun, but if you go with best friends or family, or your ?happiness?, I believe you will think that it?s ?fun?.

If you?re a photography lover, then you should go and see.

At particular times there is also ?Wo De Show?(literally translated as ?My Show?) oh, haha! Should be called Water Show ba! Don?t know what should it be called. It looks like this loh. (Refer to blog for pic). Thin layer of mist sprayed from the water, the laser light shine from behind, displaying 3D images, very beautiful oh!

Sometimes there will be fireworks, but unfortunately that day I went I didn?t see.

I think, actually not sitting the ferris wheel, just go there to have a look is good enough, because the scenery there is very nice. Find a day I would want to bring my family there.

Back To Studio
April 16th, 2007 Daniel Lee

Hello, haven?t been blogged for some time, how are you?

Today?s blog is a lil? bit different, coz it?s bi-lingual, you can choose Chinese or English. So you can learn Chinese as well.

Actually, I didn?t blog for a while it?s because there?s really nothing special to share about, or maybe haven?t been that well these days, and just don?t wanna talk about it here. Anyway?

I?m now finally back to studio. But there?s all sorts of feeling in my head?

I?m very excited, at least I?m now one step closer to complete my 2nd album.

But a lil? bit scared, maybe it?s been some time I?ve never enter recording studio.

And a lil? bit worry, I?m not sure whether I can give what the producers want, or even what myself can accept.

A lil? bit sad to say goodbye to those easy days with ?Ah Bengs and Ah Lians?.

But, I?m VERY HAPPY with my performance on the first day?s recording, at least it was so much better than what I expected.

??It?s time to get more serious after a break.

Feeling pressure of doing my second album. But, is the pressure comes from myself? I think so?

I can?t even sleep well on the day before the recording, but I just don?t know what am I so worry about. Loads of friends have given me a lot of support and said, just be yourself, and do what as an artist do, you?re just a new artist that going to release only a 2nd album, a lot of things that are not under our control.

Kesimpulannya,

?If you?re real good, you don?t have to worry about having another album. But if you?re really s*cks! You should be happy to have this album!!?

That is my own conclusion that created from everybody?s words. Hehehe?

So, it?s time to make a brand new day!

Busy until... very happy
May 12th 2007, Daniel Lee

Been busy with my album's preparation recently, feeling quite tired sometimes, but very happy about it. Coz my album has almost 70% done. Moreover, the song ?Yin Wei You Ai? (Because of Love) has started playing in every Chinese radio station in Malaysia. The responds seems really not bad, and it's in the chart as well. Really wanna thanks to all the people who has supported this song, especially ?you?.

All my bosses said that I've been improved a lot with my singing, and saying that they are more confident with the new album.

And I'm looking forward to it as well.

For my new coming album? Cheers!!!
Thank you very much.

Countdown 3 Days
May 29th 2007, Daniel Lee

Finally ????

I had completed the recording of all the 10 songs in my new album. I can now let go the ?heavy load? off my chest. Suddenly, l felt like screaming loudly: Merdeka ! ! ! Merdeka ! ! ! Merdeka ! ! !

Looking back at those busy days which l had gone through, l did have a tinge of regret. l was so busy that l didn?t even have time to celebrate Mother?s Day with Mum. Though it is already 2 weeks past Mother?s Day, I still wish to say Happy Mother?s Day to all the mothers the whole world over, specially to my dearest mum, and also my aunty fans who have been actively supporting me all this while. I wish to say ?Thank You? to all of you. Look after your health. Daniel will be going on road shows soon. I will be bringing my new songs to share with everybody throughout the country. I hope to see the energetic and happening you soon.

Now the recording was over, l feel very much relieved. I feel even happier listening to the 10 songs which l had recorded. I have a sense of achievement and satisfaction. The English song is the one l like the most.

The other day, l quietly let one of my very good friends listened to that English Song. I wanted to know what she thought about the song. She listened for less than a minute and suddenly she said to me tearfully, ?You sang really well. I was touched.? Oh my God! She is such a bubbly and fun loving person with a very high expectation of songs she listens, saying that the song has touched her [感动 Gan Dong], l feel even more touched.

Though we cannot become ?proud? because of this little compliment, Ha Ha??. But l really can?t wait to share the songs in the new album with everybody, because l really like the songs.

Now just hoping for 11th of June to come, the day my album is going to be launched.

Only 3 days to go for the pre-sale, I?m now feeling? feeling nothing, not feeling exciting, nor feeling nervous, but the strange thing is I wasn?t really eat and sleep well recently, sometimes I don?t feel like eating, but sometimes I eat a lot; sometimes I just can?t sleep, but sometimes I feel very sleepy. But then, what you think I should do before the album launch?

What about you? What do you prepare for the launch then?

June 1st: See you tonight
June 1st 2007, Daniel Lee

5, 4, 3, 2, 1...

Today is already 1st of June,

and it's the day for my album pre-sale launch.

Even it's been 1 and a half year I haven't released my album, But I still feel that time really flies.

Just heard my ID of "The Artist of the Month" on the radio, plus my song, plus a very special introduction by the Dj, I was so happy when I heard that, and I felt so touched. Coz there's only 12 chances in a year to be the artist of the month, and I'm so honoured to be one of them.

Thank you very much, to everyone of you who have never stopped supporting me. Thank you.

A brand new album, a brand new start, and it's time to go for the new challenge. Let's go!

See you tonight...

Hello guys, how are you?

Been busy for the recording, and immediately busy for the promo tour. Never knew that artist can be THAT busy. But I?m sure, my other colleagues must be even busier than what I am now. ?It?s been a hard time for you guys, but I really appreciate that, thank you.?

Will be flying to the East Malaysia in a while, and this time will be travel by flight for the four different locations , fuuuooohhhh? But I heard that the responds of Daniel?s new album is really good over there, and it?s even out of stocks! ?Sure boh?? Anyway, I would to thank to all of you who have bought this album, and also to those who are still waiting to get ones. Thank you so much. And very soon, I?ll be going to see you guys!!!

First time attending, one of the very important musical events in Malaysia, ?Jazz Festival?. I was having a great experience there. Maybe there?s no such kind of event in the small town where I stayed. And after being an artist, even harder to have a chance to attend such public events to watch some other artist performance.

Finally, today, I went to Plaza Mont Kiara to watch this BIG show. And I think some of you actually saw me. Hahaha... And very happy to see the performance of our Malaysian Queen of Jazz, Sheila Majid, singing all her very own classics, that everybody familiar with. And I actually think that she is the most significant Malaysian artist. People who attend are not just the Malay, but there are Chinese, Indian, and a lot of foreigner too.

The best part is when she sang, almost everyone there sang together with her, so impressed. How great if I can also have the honour, that everybody will sing my song after years and after. Hahaha...

By the way, I'll be performing on this Sunday 2:30pm afternoon at Mid Valley, and wishing that, you guys will come and sing together with me too. Yeah!!!

So, see you there...

<Unavoidable> Appreciation Repack Album
27th September 2007

Ya, again. Haven't been blogged for so long. Somehow, I just don't know what to start with.

Anyway, would like to say thanks to all of you, because of your support, the special edition of 《Unavoidable》 is released.

Have you watched the music videos and the behind the scene? What do you think?

A lot memories during the shooting, and I remember everybody was so tired for that few days, but there's still something interesting behind these.

Because of Love:
Oh? Everybody was ready early in the morning, and we've been shooting from the hot sunny day, till the rainy day, and continued with the indoor shots. Really tired!!! And wanna thanks to my bro and the BBoys for featuring the break dances in this video.

Love is Under the Sky:
I like the shooting stars effects in the video. And I was so happy to drive that nice classic sports car, feeling really cool driving it! Haha? Wish to have one too.

Forgive Me:
Do you realise that most of the scenes are in slow motion, even the scene when the girl was crying. And because it's slow motion, and plus I still have to sing together with the song, so the music has to be dubbed to become faster, and it makes the song sounds like Chip n Dale singing "Forgive Me", very funny!!! But still, we have to be in the mood. Oh. So susah! Anyway, you got what I mean? You'll understand after watching "the making of" the video.

Are You Happy on Your Birthday?:
Haha. Do you see yourself in the music video? This music video is specially dedicated to all of you who always supported Daniel all the way, especially to the fan club, Pinkies. Thank you for all your love and I hope you like this music video.

Time really flies, Chinese New Year is coming back again…

So long never been blogging, I’m sure loads of “clients” are complaining already, including the Hunter. Even myself have forgotten how’s the feeling of writing my thoughts here, but… I miss this so much…

Finally, I’m home, after all my CNY assignments has been done. Right now meeting with my parents in Penang, and later will be going back to Changlun gathering with other siblings, then will be visiting some old friends there. Haha, so excited thinking about it, ‘coz I haven’t been back for a long time.

So has everybody started for your holiday? Anyway, wishing all of you a very Happy Chinese New Year, and Gong Xi Fa Cai… For those on the road, drive safely…

[Carine~90]

It’s happy to go home for this CNY celebration, the way back home was just like WINDOWS XP, but the “Ciplak” version - Tingkap SP (Sungai Petani), because there are no hills around. Hahaha… Anyway, It’s happy to see the wide, green paddy field, the beautiful blue sky, and the pearly white clouds, it was beautiful!

After went back to Changlun, I went to Thailand since it’s just a cycling distance from my hometown. Moreover, I haven’t been to Haadyai for so many years. And it seems to be so quiet compare with the last time I went. But still there’s so much thing I miss about Haadyai, the streets, the language, the toot-toot, shopping in the lorong, and their food, especially the fresh oyster! It looks scary but after you squeeze the lime, and put some garlic and onion on it, the taste gonna be absolutely marvelous! And it’s very cheap here.

Missing Thailand…

Recently, some friends and colleagues were suddenly addicted to this small little toy. It was all started from Mr. D, then our friend, Little J from Hong Kong saw it, and solved it effortlessly. Wow! Miss Tsui was so impressed, and immediately get one for herself. Finally, I myself cannot tahan already, and I bought one too. Haha…

At first, I didn’t really want to buy a new one, because I have a few at home, I got big one small one, even F.O.C one. But cheap stuff will never be good, while free stuff… worse! Just a few turns and it became “see suah” (torn) already. So I finally decided to buy a better one and really wanna work on it.

After 2 days training from the net, I’ve finally solved my first ever Rubik’s Cube of my life. So excited, and I just can’t wait to share it with everybody.

Now I’ve become more pro, but of course not as pro as I can solve it by closing my eyes or solve it in one hand, but what I can challenge myself is to solve it faster and faster.

So ladies and gentlements who play Rubik’s Cube, what is your fastest record?

By the way, here?s the behind the scene of my album cover shoot.

It's not easy to make a picture looks easy and leisure, you have to coordinate with the crews other than your own performance. And they have been working so hard, you can see they are holding umbrella, throwing the dried leaves, pulling your shirt to make you looks like moving, while you are not. And counting 1, 2, 3? ?Siam? away (runaway). We?ve been taking a lot of pictures, but there?s only one can be used.

Today is the 3rd Sunday of June, it’s Fathers’ Day. Of course, never forget, it’s PASTI-Countdown-2-days day too.

Actually, since years I haven’t really celebrate Fathers’ Day with my Dad, maybe yes but less. But, what a coincident this year, so happen that Daddy came to KL for his business, so we both are going to have Dim Sum on this beautiful Sunday morning. And I presented him a pen with the nickname Idolhunter carved on it, hope that he will like it. Wishing him a very good luck in his business, and of course wishing him stay healthy always.

“I love you, Daddy. Happy Fathers’ Day”

The 2 Days to PASTI launch, I’ve cut my troublesome “silky hair”.

Seems that my hair has been cut so short, Gosh… it look so different from the my new album photos. But I actually think that, it looks better, at least it is so much easier to take care.

Wanna know what hair I am now? Just have to be patient and see.

Weekend Break in Changlun

Quietly slipped away from the hustle and bustle city for a weekend, and coming back to Changlun, just to see my family and have a rest.

Actually, living in a simple life in this small town is not a bad thing. Even prices are all increased, but you still can have a RM5 breakfast for two; a small area that doesn?t consume you a big amount of petrol; and of course, there?s not much entertainment here, but I just can spend more time with my family. Moreover, spending time with these little fellas are even more entertaining, they will really make you laugh, sampai nak terbalik.

And that?s how they smile when you ask them to. Sometimes they are really naughty, but sometimes they are really a-good-boy.

Well, gonna back to work tomorrow, to prepare the performance this Thursday, MUZIK-MUZIK, 26 June, 5:30pm on TV3. Stay tune.

And surprisingly, they have FREE Wifi. So, it’s not boring at all, and I’m still having fun on my working birthday, and blogging too.

Anyway, just wanna say thanks for all your presents, wishes, and the unforgettable birthday partiesss for my 26th birthday.

Ouch! My gums just feel so painful today. Immediately after my assignment, I called my dentist to make appointment, see whether I can go and check out my teeth in this few days. But the doctor’s schedule are really packed! And he suggested me not to wait anymore, so he asked me to go today, and he’ll arrange me as the last patient.

So, I went…

After checking my teeth, doctor said my upper left wisdom tooth was too big, and it actually caused the lower gums pain. So he asked to pull it off immediatelly. Well…………. I wasn’t that prepared today, and I didn’t know that I’m that wise to be wisdom to have that BIG wisdom tooth. But, it’s good to be unprepared, coz there’s no point to be prepared to make yourself nervous. So I have made my decision, let’s do it!

Just within 20 minutes, done!

Actually it’s not that scary, and it’s neither that painful, you might only feel a bit nervous at first. But I think the scariest part is, to see the tooth itself. Hahaha… Click the thumbnail above, if you dare to…

Day after that, I went to Mahkota Parade for my promo tour, and I was happy to see all my fans there, and I?m sure there are fans from other places as well. Thanks for coming to support my album. And there was a tiny lil? accident that day, a little boy fell down on the stage, PS: it?s not fell down from the stage, shouldn?t that bad, but hope that he?s fine?

The monkey was very naughty, she likes guys, and hate girls! My Gosh, what a monkey!!! She likes to play whatever accessories that I had on my body, my chain, my ring, then she broke my tiger eye bracelet, and put one in her mouth. Luckily she didn?t swallow it.

Merdeka! Merdeka!!!

A successful performance for the Merdeka Eve Countdown show with Evan Yo on 30th of August. Thank you Evan for joinning me in this Violin Duel Battle performance.
It’s not easy to get a chance to work together again, so I really think that we shouldn’t just sing, since we love music so much, we should have an instrumental jamming session.

At first we thought wanna play piano and guitar, but combination seems to be more suitable for slow song, and bringing piano and guitar on stage it’s quite troublesome too. So we decided to play something “small”, violin.

After decided the instruments, the most heacached part is to create the violin duet part. It’s been rejected for a few times, and I’ve rearranged it again and again, till I almost gave up. But finally I’ve made it and everybody was quite happy with it.

The music arranging, but we got no time to practice together. Few days before the show, Evan was busy with his schedule, and he could only have 1 hour to practice with me, then on the day itself for the second practice.

But it was a great challenge for the both of us to perform the song. So, what do you think?

PS: In love with Silent Violin.
