Did a mashup of Pokemon, Feeling Good and Habits! Thanks Jake for having me on your music web video series :)
Cheers guyz.
Heyyyy!
I did my first ever livestream video!
Been curious about it ever since watching some livestreams on FB. Usually by Karmin, Lu Guang Zhong, and short interview things by Rozz. I even downloaded Periscope so I could catch live perfs by musicians all over the world! But I didn't use it much cuz my Periscope doesn't work on wifi. T_T
It was pretty nervewrecking tbh. I just wanted to share my new song, Fear, which I wrote two days ago! Wasn't sure who was gonna turn up, but thanks for coming thru my friends. It's a little hard to multi-task but it was definitely a cool experience :)
Hope it was fun for you guys, or at least something new :) Hopefully there'll be more of these to come? :) With guest performers too!
MEANWHILE:
Darly, Yazsar and I made a new mashup cover! You've definitely heard of The Chainsmokers before... they're the people behind the "Lemme take a selfie" song. LOL. And Roses too!
Been wanting to cover an EDM song, so here it is~~~
I was raging a fever on recording day, but I turned up anyway, cuz turning up is half the battle won right? #gehkiangqueen I emptied the water jug at Darly's. I think I drank like at least 3 litres of water that day.
Was feeling uber woozy the entire day, wouldn't have been shocked if I fainted on the streets :x My kid told me I looked pale and later asked me if fever was contagious. LULZ
First time working with Yazsar! He brought lots of new dimensions to the song- rap, harmonies and mashup!! Awesome man :D
Daryl worked really quickly and efficiently hahaha I was very impressed (and happy cuz I didn't need to edit anything HAHA. Like if I could get away with it, I wouldn't mix/edit on my own. Definitely cuz I lazy af.) Learnt a lot just by observing how he works too! Like... I really should start using the metronome though it can be annoying af.
Voice was a bit shot but I tried my best. (Plus I didn't faint!!!)
Videoing was hilarious. It was like already past midnight...and the first few takes were like stiff and awkward. HAHA Thanks to Wilfred (Darly's bro) for helping us out too!
Thankful for my lovelyyyy music making friends <3 <3 <3
WHAT'S NEXT:
Well, I've been sick and am still recovering. But next in the pipeline is...
-Gigs
-Recording 'Fear'
-Another livestream
-Writing/completing the other new songs (Yeah there are TWO)
-More collabs :)
-Short IG covers
Stay tuned! And thank you x12934723487 for being here and supporting me and my music :)
Helloz friends how have you been!
Here are some updates:
1. So I made a new chinese x english mashup!
Check it out if you haven't:
Thoughts:
I've tried very hard for this one. Chinese lyrics and pronunciation is not my strength. Mic was giving me problems and all and I spent a LOT of time trying to correct the background noise, but yeah. Well.
Was pretty depressed over it but regardless I released it anyways. Am over it and feeling much better now! I guess thick skin regenerates after a good night's sleep.
(Side monologue: sometimes people commend me just because I made an effort, but I think an effort is not enough. Standards are standards... and sometimes it's not the thought that counts lei. Not for what I try to make anyway. The end result really does matter, though each process I go through moulds me to become better. Ah well. And I know my best is pretty crappy now, which is kinda depressing but I promise to not give up, at least not for now. All of your encouragement really reaches me and motivates me to continue what I'm doing. <3 Thank you.)
Meanwhile;
2. Crashed Major Mynah's band jam sesh the other day! Thanks for letting me hang guyz.
It was really fun to help you guyz video too~~~ And hahaha I got a quick drum tutorial lesson from Farhan! Really happy cuz now I know a new drum pattern, to add to my repertoire of about 4-5 patterns (Thanks my original shifu Darren) HAHAHA
But it was really fun- I subbed Farhan after he left, (as the drummer) and it was totally lulz. One song was so intense my leg cramped (bad technique, see.) HAHA but so fun!!!! I've learnt that though you don't need shit sometimes, you just gotta fake it and be confident, especially when you're on something so loud like drums. Playing as a band is really a conversation between each instrument. I loveeeeee that, Everyone is kinda doing their own thing, but it comes together so wonderfully. *ugly cries*
Also got to play electric guitar for 2 songs (YOLO by The Strokes and Time Is Running Out by Muse) I've learnt! Thanks for letting me chap yi ka hahah I've never jammed on electric with friends and band before so............ this is big for me! MEMORIES HAHA <3 Fking blessed to have met you all!!! <3
Was pretty stressed out while trying to play electric though. Shit feels foreign when I don't play with my tele. Time to bring tehping out for a stroll then~ Gonna work hard and continue to do my best! :) Working on my EG repertoire :) 3. I'm a blessed, lucky bitch. Let me elaborate, though I'm sure I will come across as self-entitled. But I guess that's okay I'm da Queen HAHAA. This is dedicated to mah lovely friends:
Thank you for humoring me <3
Thank you for coming out of your house and coming to meet me!
Thanks for making time for me!
Thanks for checking in :)
Thanks for letting me steal your food just cuz I whine a little.
Thanks for letting me annoy you HAHA
Thanks for helping me out without me asking, your kindness is something I'm not sure I deserve.
Thanks for sticking around, buddies.
<3
Rest of mah life is usually on Snapchat or IG, or c'mon, just check in with me personally babes.
<3 MUACKS XOXO MORE TO COME.
Yooo! I hope you enjoy this 6 song mashup. I love every song on this mashup, especially Coasts by Pleasantry!
Do check out all of the music- local music can be so lush <3
I had loads of fun doing this mashup! It's not perfect and I used really simple chords but HAHA IT WAS FUN! Feels good to be back in the groove.
I was going to post this as a #skyesunday cover but... you guys know me. I have zero patience and had to post ASAP hahaha.
Have two more mashup projects coming up, and a really half baked original! Have also been learning songs on my electric, so heheh I'm looking forward to including that in my videos. Thanks for staying tuned <3

Behind the scenes of our latest mash-up, Love Yourself x Gives You Hell!
So on a sunny day, we gathered on hill to begin our shoot...
It was my first time working on such a big collab project so I was really antsy!
I have only been videoing/recording myself on my own all this time, and I was definitely worried as hell. There were so many logistics, planning and etc to do!
But all is well when you have awesome people by your side. Anything is possible <3 So thankful for you guys.

Here are some shots from our combined cameras (but mostly from Wenxin). Hope you like! :) Rocher Centre
Things we said while taking this shot: "HA HA HA WENXIN YOU'RE SO FUNNY"

Little India, Kerbau Road
Check out the colourful shophouses here! The streets have plenty of character too.
CAUTION: tempting tandoori and absolutely delicious curry smells will hit you straight in the nose here, so either 1. eat first or 2. eat there! NOMMMMS
This was taken at the exterior of the Tan Teng Nia villa. The walls will definitely add a pop of fun to your pictures! Doesn't feel like Singapore anymore, does it? :)
#shoefie
People's Park Complex (Chinatown MRT. To get to the rooftop, find the lift and go to the 5th floor, then climb a flight of stairs up! Alternatively, look for directions to the cafe/pub Le Park.)
We found a new (tasty) prop.
This is me being grumpy after lunch cuz I was feeling a little sleepy. HAHA
