Hello FM 全新年轻娱乐 . 体验 HAPPY HOUR

Hello! Haha. This "Hello" is special because it's not the usual Hello that I wanna use as but rather I wanna introduce a new online radio station set up by my group of friends, Hello FM (哈啰 FM)


The link to their web is www.hellofm.weebly.com. Or you can also Click HERE for a direct link.

In there, there are various genres of songs being broadcasted 24/7. Also they update regularly and therefore keeping the web and radio station up to date and interesting. Come May, they are going to launch the station officially with a series of podcasts and live broadcasting coming in play. Apart from that, they have also quite a number of interesting radio programs that are surely set to capture the listeners.

Please do support my friends by tuning in to the station! Thank you very much! :)

I'm feeling much better today. But I feel a very uncomfortable pain in my abdomen. It's like a muscle tear or like a constant "stitches" around my abdomen. Whatever it is, it definitely feels painful and uncomfortable. Cannot walk properly. =\

School tomorrow and 1 months to the BIG exams. :(

Backlash

As mentioned in my posts back dated, I mentioned how hard it is to be an artiste and how difficult it is to stay in the limelight and be well-liked. Hmm.. Recently, as most of you may know, our famous former beauty queen Ris Low is under the subject of scrutiny again for her "stunt" that she pulled on her fellow colleagues at 98.7FM. Poor girl, meant it as an Aprils' Fool joke, didnt see the backlash coming and once again she was embroiled into a series of tirade from Netizens and listeners and the public.

For Video, Click HERE.

Anyway I do hope everyone can still give her a chance. We all know she hasnt been doing very well on screen and stuffs like that, but she's a newbie in the industry and she has so much more to learn - the rules, the etiquette, etc. We expected too much from her la. Give her some time to learn how to be a proper artiste. We all make mistakes. As for her Engrish........ Well.. Some of us.. We all speak like that too dont we? Guess we shouldnt be too criticising on one's grasp of language. To each of its own. Anyway Ris, wish you all the best. Work harder and 加油!

On the other hand, I realised Youtube has a VAST number of talented people out there. Really alot of raw talent not yet discovered. Really talented musicians. Just too many. I'll probably share a few every few days.

First is this duo Kurt and Sam. Very nice coordination and vocals. Just listen and you'll understand what I mean.

And the same duo did this too.




Now, how cool is that? Note that it's one person singing everything. Then mixing them together to get one song. A one man Acappella. This, is one of the best I've seen online. Plus the effort took in doing the video, one man taking up all the roles. This is some serious shit. Haha. Should be quite difficult, but they did it anyway. Dont you just admire these people and their talents? Dont you wonder why they arent superstars today? Well I guess it's down to choice, luck and perhaps fate.

I hope you guys enjoyed the videos. You can search for more of them on Youtube. Anyway if there's anything interesting anyone of you saw online or somewhere, dont hesitate to share them with me ok! :)

I think I've been overworking and stress (due to work and exams coming) these few days. Plus lack of sleep. I'm down with fever. :(

Good night everyone.

Wang Lee Hom (王力宏)

First and foremost, today is April Fools. So Happy April Fools to all. Some friends tried to send me smses to fool me or tried play some prank on me but I guess I'm too smart to fall for any of it. Haha.

Anyway, I did a random search on Lee Hom (王力宏) today and found some quite interesting stuffs. I guess right now at this moment, everyone has already classified him as an international multi talented superstar who can sing, dance and talk very well. Good looking, with charisma and very confident individual. But look back when he just entered the industry in the 90s, you see completely different Lee Hom.

Back then, he was full of innocence. He couldnt really speak well, partly because of his mandarin. His singing was old-fashioned (maybe very modern back then) and his image was....... er....... like a salesman. Haha. See the video below and you get what I mean (like gray shirt with flower tie).

The difference is.. 15 years. I'm not kidding you. He took 15 years to be what he is today. This further enhance the fact that I truly look up upon him as a role model and an idol. Being able to improve and change constantly till today, he has come a long, and I believe also, a hard way. If Lee Hom were now to be still like what he is then, he probably wont go far. I mean, look at him then and maybe new boys like Fahrenheit or Derrick Hoh. Lol. But still, back then, he is already a very talented artiste. Anyway, here's some videos for you to enjoy. Dont be shocked. Haha.

Leehom in 1995

Leehom in 2009 (15 years later)

There are in fact many other videos or photos that shows more. But I thought these are enough to shock everyone. Haha.

NOTE: I'm not saying I am Leehom or comparing myself with him or something in case anyone starts to protest after reading what I'm about to write next. Lol.

Watching these videos, I see myself. Like what I've said, it's not that I see myself as Leehom or feel that I'm going to be as successful as him or things like that. But rather, it's the newbie me that I see. The me who cant talk well, who cant sing as well yet, the one who cant perform well and the me who are prone to making mistakes here and there.

Watching these videos, makes me realise one fact: Never write anybody off. Meaning, do not ever look down on anybody because you never know, one day, he or she may become very successful too. Had anyone looked down on Leehom back then, thinking that he has no image, no stage presence, no commercial vocal or no value, these people will be the same people who will be slapping themselves hard in the face today.

Watching these videos makes me relief to know that even the superstars was like how I was when they first debuted. It gives me the motivation to work hard. And I will continue to do so. Hopefully, I can become successful myself one day too.

And when the day comes, I hope that everyone, my friends, family, supporters, readers, media and sponsors, can all be with me, like a Big Family!

I love everyone of you ok. :)
