Back to work!
After some months of not really doing anything, I’m finally going back to contribute to Singapore’s economy (by being employed finally!)… which is really cool! I guess I’m going to miss this totally laidback life as soon as I start work though.
I also got to play at the Ark Café yesterday… about my performance… I think I didn’t do too well as my song repertoire is limited and I didn’t have much understanding with the other singers (well, in fact it was the first time we met). I guess it’s really different going into a performance as a singer versus a instrumentalist. If you are a reasonably good singer, you can walk into a performance and it will feel almost like a karaoke session for you. However, there’s a lot of preparation work to be done by an instrumentalist… the instrumentalist IS the karaoke machine! I have to say that the keyboardist was really great though… she’s a teacher at the Ark Music School also…. amazing. I think I will really need to work on my playing skills but it’s only going to get tougher as I start working next week.
