2011 would be the year i would never forget.

It's been long since i blogged. It even comes to a point of time i make fun of people who blog.

It's crazy with what can happen in a year. We came back from Perth with so many opportunities waiting for us. We provide entertainment for big scale events and one leads to next and the next thing you know, people love what we do and they keep on calling us back.

It's always an idea that me, Rob & Paul have about bringing The Mutaytor down to have a 'reunion' with RayRay. I believe in this show as they look like they know what they are doing and they are passionate about it. The shows were amazing, well, according to those i see in Youtube. It becomes a talk all the time like we would just go, "Ok, let's just bring them down and use them." We talked about it alot that the more we talked about it, the more we liked the idea.

So that's how Wildfire Festival started. Me & Rob had ENOUGH to make this things happen. With helps from other people that came along throughout the whole process makes it easier for us. Everyone we talked to were telling us that we got the 'gold' . I agree with them, i mean, we have a great act, a huge amount of expenditures cut with the help of our friends, alot of the people around us say it's a good idea and they would support.

I have 1000+ friends on Facebook. This is after i filtered and deleted those whom i do not know. But of course, it doesn't include relatives and cousins that doesn't have fb. All these people give me encouragement & tell me they would support and are proud of us.

So 3 weeks before the show, there was nothing going on. I have heaps of people clicking attending on Facebook event page, i have all my ads out, i have someone running getting sponsors,corporate sales... But why wasn't there any ticket sales?

"It's too expensive" "We don't know them" "Most of them are local bands and we are paying alot"

These are few of the things people say about the festival.(well, after i ask if they have bought the tickets) Have you ever know Cirque Du Soleil when they first came? You paid more than $100 for international artists that you hear on LOCAL radio many times but you cant go support your own local band? You know how good they are but they are not worth your money? Not worth for you to think that they deserve to be treated like international acts too? I emailed to all local channels, news, radios, non of them got back to me but only Berita Harian. Must i bring popular act like Lady Gaga to get some publicity around here? Shame.

1 week before show and people who suppose to deliver to us say they tired out every possibilities they can. Really? In 1 week before show? We have used all our money investing in this and now you come to us saying you have nothing? Doesn't it makes much more sense if you tell us earlier so we can do lesser damage control?

Welcome to real world, Eeqa. This is what you ask for. We cancelled and push everything to another week with just The Mutaytor. Mind you, they are coming for not much but just to help us out. So now i'm sitting infront of my desk, 1 day before the show. Me & Rob are having none in our own wallet to make sure it's something that no one ever forget.

It has been such an emotional journey. You know who you can count on, who got your back, who you should appreciate and help them out in return. Those who deserves free tickets.

With this, i want to thank everyone that have helped us thus far. You know who you are, i wish i can name everyone of you but do know that i am deeply touched by small little help you guys give. I am noting this down and will remember it for the rest of my life. When i pray, i will bless all of you with good health & life.

We are struggling still, but we would never stop fighting. It's not the end and we will slowly pick up the pieces.

And by that time, when we are up on our feet again, whoever thinks that it's really good to have friends/relatives that can give you free tickets or a job, you can go knock on other doors cause this door is shut for you.

Live from Perth

I am really getting bad at blogging!

So i was working for this company for a month. It's a new company so there is only me, My boss & a colleague-turn-friend of mine. Both me n Colleague couldn't stand him with his attitude. We honestly don't understand our job scope and worst, we didn't get paid on time at all. So when we found out that he was a such a schemer after doing full research on him, we both have the courage and balls to resign.

Yes, the pay's good. But what's good about it when you didnt get paid on time and get treated like that. I could have charged him for sexual harassment and also breach of agreement but then i just can't be bothered. It's amazing that this guy could be a somebody cause he knows how to do business but he just chose to do it in a dirty way because of his ego. Used to look up to him (for a while) cause he knows how to make contacts and all, but now, i really pity him. Such a sad life having to change his company name many times.

Yes, i am struggling but then again, i know i can stand back up and move on. Honestly, i did. =) Thanks to Rob for helping me in times of need when he himself is also facing his own obstacles in his life. I guess i couldn't ask for a better boyfriend at this time.=)

So now i'm in Perth. Experiencing new stuffs. Hopefully i come back with more confidence in going through the whole year. Can't wait to get back to SG to a new home. =)

Will update pictures soon.

Being on that mat.

I always have this conversation with my girlfriends many times and i also stumbled onto this blog.

www.ninieahmad.com  

She is a Yoga Practitioner and Instructor. We have the same beliefs in terms of how conservative the world is. Of course, i want to be like her. Yoga kept her sane, healthy and makes her look good. (have you seen her skin and body?) That's what i need in life.

A healthy mind, a healthy heart and a healthy body.

Anyone of you care to join me for this? 

To make yourself more motivated, want to know why Nicole Scherzinger have such a hot bod? 

Yup2, she did Yoga too. =)

And honestly, ain't it cool to be up early in the morning to do this?

(obviously all this pic don't own by me.)

sun sea and you.

I guess it's been too long since i experienced bel far niente.

I can't wait for Perth. Sunny Sunny Perth for xmas. =)

Bon Voyage

I'm now waiting for my plane to fly off. 


At last, i'm gonna experience bel far niente for the first time in coming to 21 years of my life.


I'm gonna be selfish for once and do things that i want to do.

my pms moments.

2010 will the year that i will never forget. Many things i achieve, loss, learnt...

I broke up from a relationship that i thought (more like everyone thought) was going to be forever and enter into a relationship that doesn't really look into the future. That doesn't think about marriage or having kids. Not even planning on what kind of wedding we want. We just go with the flow enjoying each other's company and even though i find it hard sometimes thinking if all this is just a joke, i am actually starting to enjoy this even more. It makes me realized to just take things as days goes by instead of trying hard to work for a better tomorrow.

Living away from parents is hard, especially in my culture. My parents get a bit worried when i never visit them for a week or when i never call them for a day. I still remember my dad's exact words telling me that it's ok if i don't work hard and made it far if that's what it takes to make the family come together. I'm now in a dilemma of choosing my path. I can just apply for a full time job here with regular pay and live with my family enjoying their laughs, love and company or i keep on working hard now to succeed and in the near future i can give my family a good life and at the same time fulfill my ambition and dreams.

I've seen so many examples around me that got me pondering till now. A family that broke apart because of people committed to work. A family that stays together but struggling to make ends meet. I guess in life you can't choose both but i guess it's something that everyone is struggling and hoping that they could at least juggle both.

This week i've been so emotional lately and i've been starting to take a step back to look at the decisions and mistakes that i made so far and whether or not i can stop now or live with it.

Dear God, please give me the strength to go through this. To show me the right path for me to walk or give me a sign if i were to go on and make a bad decision or mistake.

(i'm just having my pms moments...)

A new beginning

I've been wanting to do up a new blog and i guess i managed to do it only now. It's a new beginning for me.

I wave goodbye to my parents and found my own place. It's not much but i guess this will do for now. =) The location is lovely and convenient. I am looking for a more permanent place that i can call home. I know, home is such a big word and it's hard to find for some people. I'm one of them. I would prefer somewhere near to town area as it's more centralized and it's still in the south west. (i love west side) Like for example now, i am living near Holland v and i have buses going to orchard rd and esplanade right infront of my doorstep. A walking distance to Buona Vista MRT and the green line is so fast and convenient. So i'm looking for flatmates. Anyone interested in renting a whole house with me? I love to cook and clean. =) =) =)

as you can see, i love having people in my house. =D 

I defer my school for one year to save up my fees for my BA(Hons) Musical Theatre in LASALLE College of the Arts. It sucks to defer and see all your friends moving up and working their body and mind in school. I guess till now, i'm still not used to not being around school. So i would still drop by every now and then to just hang and do work in 15 minutes. 


Oh yes, work. I just finished my first ever professional production with Singapore Repertory Theatre (Stage Two), Fried Rice Paradise - The Musical. It was a fun experience to be working with veterans, experienced and professionals. It felt like a family having to stay together in the Esplanade theatre almost everyday for 2 months. The non stop party at night and the outings in the day. 

I miss this funny people!

 how can i forget Stanley? =D

The dodgy grandfather and the ah lian.

chow fun babies

Gigi!

 mi amor gave me a rose on the first day and my fav flower on my last day of show. =)

Speaking of boyfriend, i met quelqu'un de nouveau. (someone new) =)
