Try X All Of Me - A Mashup Cover by Kexin, Clarence & Serena

Sometimes i get weary,

from the battles i'm fighting outside and within.

Sometimes i feel lost,

while searching for my true self amidst what everyone wants me to me.

Sometimes i get weighed down,

by expectations of how i should act, look, walk, talk, sing etc.

But you know you've found that someone, 

when you don't have to try,

cos all of him loves all of you, 

all your curves and all your edges, 

all your perfect imperfections :)

He's a really passionate videographer (and a great one too!!) and has always been 

greatly supportive of local music.

He actually bought equipment just so that we can record youtube videos in his studio.

B Cube Entertainment is one of the best sound provider in Singapore in my opinion

and has been my favourite provider for all my live gigs!!

My youtube videos have never sounded so good before, 

and i gotta give it to him for the live sound enhancements!!

Hairvolution with J7Image

When it comes to hair colour, i've tried it all.

And i realize that the changing of my hair colour is part of my self-discovery journey, 

i was really finding who i really am and what i really want to be. 

When i was younger in my early 20s, 

i started singing at weddings and i always wanted to look older

because i felt young and i wanted to be taken seriously. 

So i kept my hair long and i had a natural wave.

When i first launched my EP, i decided to go for a fresh look

and snipped off my locks to a shorter length. 

The real transformation and experimentation with hair colour started when 

i started touring with David Tao!

Jeft from J7 Image is the master at hair colouring craft. 

It was fate that brought us together because i met him randomly over supper through a mutual friend!

We bonded over music because he used to sing as well..

One thing led to another, 

he became my hairstylist years later and i've never looked elsewhere! 

Montigo Nongsa Resort, where heaven could be so near :)

Montigo is the perfect place for a short getaway from Singapore. 

A mere 30mins ferry ride away, 

this is paradise. 

Map of Montigo Nongsa Resort 

It's a pretty small area with nothing much to explore. 

The watersports feature is not open for business yet, and Tigo bar is closed during the weekdays. 

Some villas are still under construction as they are build for ownership. 

Nivea Body Intensive Moisture Serum

I sometimes wish that i have more sedentary hobbies, 

so that my skin wouldn't be exposed to the harmful UV rays..

I also wish i had cared a little more about body skincare

rather than just concentrating on facial care. 

After weighing my options, 

i've figured that life is too short to be spent on worrying!

Do what makes you happy and worry later!  

I love spending time at the sea, away from the hustle and bustle of life. 

It makes me feel calm :)

Youth Time 2014!

I am incredibly honoured to have met Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong at the recent Youth Time 2014. 

This event was held at my beloved alumni, Anderson Junior College, 

the place where my love of music first blossomed. 

Youth Time is an annual event organized by the Yio Chu Kang Grassroots Organization, 

with the aim to bring the youths together for a fun-filled day of activities through carnivals and live band performances.

The event was also particularly meaningful because of the lively and interactive dialogue session with PM Lee! 

The by-invite-only session was a very cosy affair, 

with an auditorium of about a hundred youth from different backgrounds; students, young working adults, young grassroot leaders and young parents. 

I was so overwhelmed by the entire experience because not only did i perform, 

i was also awarded the Breakthrough in Arts Awards with some other outstanding youths, 

and given a chance to share my experience during the dialogue. 

I'm so deeply humbled by this rare opportunity to connect with youths with dreams!!

Achievement Unlocked!

Possibly my most epic selfie to date..

The NEA Eco Music Challenge is Back!

As a singer,
i'm particularly sensitive to my emotions,
to thoughts that arise in my head in my everyday life.

Perhaps it is an occupational hazard?
I really do need to switch between different emotions whenever i perform.
I could be singing a super high energy positive number at one time,
and the next moment to do teary breakup song with full out emotions.
It is a roller-coaster ride i'm not kidding.

But i see this ability as a superpower that few possess.
It is our outlet to expression, a blessing in disguise.
We are able to convey our thoughts, spread positive messages.
We are able to turn our seemingly insignificant emotions into something bigger than ourselves,
and make an impact.
Music can create impact around us, and influence people to feel strongly for a cause.

Something that i really appreciate about Singapore is the beautiful flora and fauna and cleanliness in our surroundings.
With the thought in mind, the environment is an inspiration and topic that more musicians can write about, to raise awareness and make an impact on.
I'm hence happy to announce that the NEA Eco Music Challenge is back!
Now there is a way for singer-songwriters to help raise awareness of environmental issues,
through our songs!!
