Life Is Waiting

Nope, Singapore is waiting.. Or at least I'm waiting for Faber Drive!

After my post where I proclaimed my love for the Canadian pop rock band, they announced a couple of days ago that they were finally coming down to Singapore! I was having lessons at that time so imagine how hard I had to curb myself from jumping out of my seat in ecstasy.

I have been tweeting Music Matters and the members of Faber Drive (here) and I'd really like to think that I was a catalyst as to why they were invited to this music festival (hahaha I'm joking), but I don't really care since all that matters is that they are coming down. And it's a great feeling to see your country listed as one of the tour dates in an email sent to those subscribed to the mailing list.

And isn't Seamus just the sweetest drummer around? (I won't be a grammar Nazi today.)

I've seriously never been so excited that a band is coming down. Maybe because I have been listening to them since their first album (they just released their third). Maybe because they are not any under major labels and it's hard for independent bands to come here, not to mention we are on opposite ends of the world. Or maybe just because I love them so freaking much.

I'd really want to thank Music Matters and the Canadian Independent Music Association for bringing Faber Drive down. Hopefully I'll get to meet them and hang a little. And here's hoping that they will play 'When I'm With You' and 'By Your Side'!

Still pretty much on a high since the news, and it's not helping that the lead singer, Faber, is stalking my followers list and following them on Twitter. Like seriously. I don't even.

AND WHOEVER IS READING THIS I LOVE YOU, AND EVERYONE TOO!

CHAMP20NS

Just stopping by to say how proud I am of Manchester United for a convincing run in this season's EPL. Although there were matches which disappointed the fans, they still did great as a whole. Welcome back, EPL trophy!

First time EPL champions De Gea and Van Persie!

And Kagawa you're such a little boy wae you so cute this is not allowed.

All I'm hoping for now is Real Madrid to win the Champion's League. Let's go team!

Would love to see a happy Sergio more than anything else for tomorrow's match against Borussia Dortmund :)

Più Che L'Amore

Più che l’amore means 'More Than Love'. Classy film title hahahahaha.

Just about three weeks to the end of my first year in Chapman University and it is getting more and more hectic but yet I seem to be losing steam. Why can't I just sing all day?

Anyway, I had a night shoot till about 5am and I directed a short film for the first time and boy am I a horrible one at that. And that wasn't including the fact that I was upset I had to miss covering the U-KISS concert and press conference for the shoot. Now I have no doubt that I was made to listen to instructions and accomplish jobs in that way. Nevertheless, it was a great experience and I'm so thankful for my wonderful crew and group mates. Our cast, Sijia and Silver, were also very cooperative and fun to have on set. I'd be lying if I said I am not excited to see the final product.

The cast and crew of Più Che L'Amore!

Will not post anymore in case I'm not supposed to. LOL.

Anyway, big thanks to Yiyun to offer me a place to crash after that. She even cooked noodles for me. So sweet I don't even.

So cute too.

Deadlines are pouring in like crazy and I feel as if my life is eaten sucked away as the days go by. I just want to work on my covers sobs.

In other news, I am so so addicted to C-Clown's latest single (unf T.K, Rome and Kangjun) 'Shaking Heart' and Sam Tsui's cover of 'Clarity', originally by Zedd. The former is so smooth and sleek and the latter is just uplifting. Oh all these awesome music. I can't.

"Don't speak as I try to leave
Cause we both know what we'll choose
If you pull, then I'll push too deep
And I'll fall right back to you

Cuz you are the piece of me I wish I didn't need
Chasing relentlessly, I still fight and I don't know why

If our love is tragedy why are you my remedy?
If our love's insanity why are you my clarity?"

Breakeven

So the past week has been pretty eventful.

I went for The Script's concert with Yiyun and it one of the best ones I've ever been to. I'd hate to admit it but this gig beats All Time Low's and Boys Like Girls' gigs anytime (YES I SAID BOYS LIKE GIRLS).

It was brilliant I tell you. The image of the stadium singing 'ohhh these times are hard yeah they're makin' us crazy don't give up on me baby-eh-eh' (lyrics of 'For The First Time') repeatedly instead of shouting 'encore' is still prominently etched in my mind. These guys sure know how to work the crowd. Danny, Mark and Glen were all so happy that day. Ah, I really wouldn't have it any other way. Still suffering from a little bit of concert depression.

And today was another great day because we finally submitted our first production - 'SHE'! Much thanks to my awesome crew and group. I was initially quite intimidated about being Director of Photography but it seemed like my fears were unfounded. So glad I had James around to help me as camera assist. And thank you director Rix for being patient with me. I'll try to be patient too when our roles are reversed for the next production.. Hehehe.

The awesome crew!!

I'll try to blog about my trip to Hong Kong soon - when I am really free. That's gonna be next month. Byeeeeeee.
