Sorry for the long break!

*Highlights* Catch me at the Timbre Music Festival @ The Arts House on Monday 29th October from 10pm onwards.

I'm back after a tremendously long break of not updating my blog. So yes I'm sorry! Live The Dream's run is over BOO HOO! I had a tough time getting over being booted out of the competition on Oct 10th. Was pretty bummed about not getting into the finals. Not just for me, but more so for my family, friends and fans who have been voting faithfully and subjecting their thumbs to countless SMSing. It somehow felt like I let everyone down. But I kind of put things in perspective for a bit and realised it is a competition after all. Took a while to get over it and was feeling really blue about it. You win some and you lose some right? Thank you & many hugs & thousand kissies for all who played a part in my journey.

It was an awesome journey for me on the show. I met so many wonderful people! And some I will take away as lifelong friends for sure. Andrea is always so sweet to me on the show...a real sweetheart, not to mention gorgeous la. Michelle is gorgeous too. Sometimes I find myself staring at her! Not lesbian or anything, just like looking at beautiful people. I will certainly miss being in close proximity to Utt la. Such hotness, plus he seems like an awesome guy. Ok, I am beginning to sound like some zit-ridden groupie. You know, at the Grand Finals after-party, I took this picture with Utt and have been asking friends if they'd like to see my wedding photo. They'd go all wide-eyed and of course I'll show them the pic taken with hottie Utt, then I'd be plagued with eye-whites and many a sarcastic 'Yahhh right, you wish'. That's goofy 'ol me for you.

Anyhoos, it was really great to get a chance to come back in the Grand Finals and soak up the last of the show's atmosphere. I will really really really miss that more than everything! The hanging out and goofing around before showtime with everyone. Alot of stuff goes on behind the scenes and in the dressing rooms before the actual show! Ah haaa...getting curious are we? Not to mention the people behind the show...will certainly miss them ordering us about and their quirky personalities. I am so glad i did this. I am getting so emotional!

Life goes on, and it'll only get better. By the way, I will be part of the Timbre Music Festival. I performed a half hour set for the very first time all by myself. Freaky! Went ok for a first timer I guess, but could've gone better I felt. I will be performing again tomorrow, Monday October 29th at Timbre at The Arts House. You can catch me from 10pm onwards. Fendi and Victor will be there performing as well. Fendi is a resident performer at Timbre weekly in case you guys would like to know. Check out this website for more info - http://www.timbre.com.sg/musicfest/livethedream.htm. So maybe I'll catch some of you there if you can make it.

Ok pokes, me thinks it's time to crash. Will upload some pictures soon so it won't look so boring with just words. Nighty night and cotton candy dreams!

Boohoo, my shoe...

Haven't quite had the time to blog. So, here are some pictures of the performance last Wednesday. I think you can get a clearer view by clicking on them. Anyhoos, been busy with work and LTD, but all is really great.


Had dinner with Fendi and Victor earlier on at Border's Cafe. Ate and drank so much water I kept needing to go pee. And guess what...My shoe broke! You see we had to go down to Mediacorp for vocals this morn, and later on to learn the dance choreography for our party song this coming Wednesday. And I decided in the morning to wear this pair of shoes that I'd bought some time back (well, ok maybe more than a couple of years la). I guess it had been in storage for too long and the glue became weak. So there I was trying to get the dance steps down and my shoe strap just gave out! Lucky I had ribbons (don't ask me why I have them in my bag) in my bag and did a make-shift tie-around. Worked for a while until after dinner at Border's Cafe. I had to walk barefoot to hail a cab to go home. Just as well because I need to rest. I had to hold my pee in because it would just be disgusting going to the loo without shoes on! Yuck.

The dance choreo was pretty new to me. I mean I've taken dance classes before but...it's pretty tough to get your act together, remember lyrics, the moves and try to sing without sounding laboured. But I'm excited about this coming Wednesday...so close to the Grand Finals. I hope I do well. *crosses fingers* But I know I'm here because of my faithful supporters who have seen me through the various rounds of competition. So thank you and kisses for all. :D

K. Am going to go sleepy sleeps. Nighty night and cotton candy dreams!

Gimme more, Britney!

"It's Britney bitch." I so dig Britney's new single Gimme More. I think her song rocks even though there's a ton of drama surrounding her recent comeback performance at the VMA 2007 Awards. Leave the poor girl alone I say. She's been through alot. It can't be easy juggling a career, lousy husbands/boyfriends and two kids in merciless Tinseltown. Her songs are always played in clubs, dance studios and everywhere else no matter what awful things people say about her. Go Britney!

So I am a day away from Tomorrow. Capital 'T' because tomorrow's important what. Time to go Cross Cultural on Live The Dream! I'll be doing a Japanese number by Ayaka called I Believe. It's beautiful and inspiring lyrically. Will also be doing a more familiar but vocally challenging song Before I Fall In Love by Coco Lee. Gambette!!!

Anyhoos, here's a link to an interview done last week after the results show. You can tell in the videos that I'm just recovering from all that sobbing! http://ch5.mediacorptv.com/wassup/interviews/view/929/1/.html

Here are some behind the scenes pictures from our trailer shoot 2 Saturdays ago.



I love the Saree look. If you guys haven't yet checked out my personal Vlogs on the official website of Live The Dream, here's a link. There's a funny video of me in my Saree. It gets updated every few days so do check back. http://livethedream.mediacorptv.sg/vlog_vlist3.php?id=357&owner=7004

Ok pokes, that's it for the moment. Tata for now!
