My typical ‘FUN’ weekend .. NOT!!
Well i shouldn’t be complaining .. it’s wat i’ve always wanted to do but i guess i want my dear frens to know tat wat i do is not all glamorous and super-exciting … actually it’s never been glam at all since my album is NOT even out yet (haha) … you see i got many msgs saying tat my life looks super high-flying but in fact, it’s nothing like tat!
… tis weekend is another recording session at a cosy studio (Studio 101) which is a bungalow-converted recording place in PJ, i have spent countless weekends here preparing 4 my album (since i have to study on weekdays), and i also live very far from KL so need a bit of travelling to get here each time …
well anyway, i got another song done tis weekend, which is good n i hope i did ok (i won’t know until my producer edited all my parts together).
If u ask me did i have fun tis weekend, well i really dunno … This is also the 3rd week of my semester and since it’s a ’short-sem’ .. it feels like my 6th week cos i’m already getting heaps of assignments etc, u hav no idea the pressure i’m having right now
I really2 dun know wat to think …
As my album is nearer to completion, and more and more people showing their support for me, the more pressure i’m feeling now, though i have so many nice frens writing in to me wit the words of encouragement, on the other hand i’m getting very2 scare (i really am) … i sometimes lie awake in my bed at night thinking am i really ready … ??!! I really dun know …
So dear frens, if u r reading tis, please forgive me if i didn’t reply … i’m really2 sorry as i’m under lots of pressure, i really2 dun wanna let people down … and u know wat, my birthday is coming too, i’ll b 22 soon! … so am i ready? well, at least i dun want my age to be my excuse, hope u will continue to support me ya @ Gan Ba Teh !! *it means work hard and dun give up in japanese*
Take care! Karen







I understand that pressure could be annoying, but nothin beat hard work
there’s a light at the end of the tunnel. U’ll get through da pressure in no time!
so dont give up and keep up the gud work
I’ll always support u :)!
gud luck!!!

Well, although lots of my friends doing sound mixer, motion picture kind of things… and although i’ve never have that experisnce… but what they told me… well… it’s really presurring…
You know what? Only people who respect their work feel pressure… (unless you’re forced to do something which you don’t like…) and i guess… that’s your dream, rite?

hello!! waha.. jia lat see ur blog u sounded so negative ahs.. cannot la.. and seems like u are forced to do the things u r doing now.. hmmm.. always remember not to hope.. becoz “the more u HOPE, the LESS u get.” put together n ul get ‘HOPELESs’. opps!
since singing is ur passion n life, but now u think u cant achieve.. u think u might disappoint us.. u think u cant sing well.. or even score well in ur exams.. but karen, the fact is, hardwork do pays off de.. everyone can win the race, only those who give up loses..
whenever u r down, u can try saying this to urself..
“if i can’t den i MUSt, and if i Must den i surely CAN!”
confirming urself that u r an OVERcomer is essential.. so all e best! U can do it de! love iz

Karen, always remember Superstar Andy Lau’s famous words: “Talent never goes unrecognised, through constant endeavour will it be seen! If you have not try, you never know what is the final outcome! We need to achieve our dreams beyond others’ imagination!!!” and Andy Lau did it!
I believe U can repeat his achievement again!!! GAN BA TEH!!! Add oil, Add Oil!!! Bob
Bob said this on November 5, 2006 at 6:05 pm
Hey Karen, wish u all the best in your debut album(?). I suppose it’s never easy to juggle study with singing. Since singing is your passion, it’s probably worth the effort. Go! Go! Jia You!

你没事吧?所谓…万事起头难ya?[hope u can read the chinese words]…no worries…u can make it one…dont be too bothered by the outcome…its the process dats needs to pay attentions to..ya?wat i mean is dat its the process dats matter the most instead of the results….no matter whether ur albums is well done or not…i guess all ur frenz, fans, family members will not blame u or wat…they’ll get rather proud & happy instead….ya?
=] oways remember to try and do ur best wit no regret…dan likdat everyone will noe dat u had done ur best…=]
for now…tk really really good care of urself i think if not…everything will go down to drain if u get sick or wat…*touch wood!!*

…ha! how are u today? feel bad or good for your recording? actually i undertand very well about your feeling, because i was also
faced it before that. but the diffirences is i just recorded the demo song. it was very difficult…some time the state is go over and over… it will no more simple that same as before. just like now… but i think u should tell yourself be more happy, because it is no very one can did it…just like me, i havent the capability to singing…so i just can be the
song lyrics wrriter when i feel bore or…so hope you all the best!

Heh, I’m pretty excited about your album, although I do wonder, how the heck am I gonna get get my hands on one, seeing as I’m here in the Philippines. Ah well, where there’s a will, there’s a way, as they always say.
Advance happy birthday! And God bless.

Just like you say in your profile, you are happy go lucky gal; don’t do things for others since if you do it will be just like any other work. Remember that you doing this because you love doing what you doing not because you have to since it’s your dream. Live life by the day, enjoy it, love it and tomorrow will always smile at you.
When things get too tight for you to breathe take a moment and take a deep breathe and smile.
Smile always and nothing is impossible

Dang. A few days of connection problem, and I already missed another post.
Poor girl. Well dont let me down, since I’m a fan too. Lol.
First, nice photos, especially the last one. I like it. Kinda usual but… err… Yes, usual, nothing special. Really. No kidding. I swear. No lies.
…
ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT IT’S CUTE. IT’S TOO CUTE!! Alright you can stop smiling now. …I mean it.
Second, about waking in the middle of the night, dont worry. It’s normal since I have it too. Sometimes I lie awake in my bed at night thinking, …do I have to go to the bathroom NOW, or take the risk going with my bladder until the morning.
Now, now, think of those fans out there waiting for your album (that would include me, thank you). You would not want us to wait a little longer, right. XD So now get strong and sing for us, because in the end, it’s gonna be your sweet smile when you see our smile.
Welcome to the sky, star.

Well, maybe we should call it minimalism in lifestyle
And yeah, that’s cool! Who needs so many fancy stuffs when we don’t need them anyway.
Pressure, makes a diamond out of coal. And you’re definitely a Diamond.
All the best dear Karen.

Woo, nice Diamond-out-of-coal thing. I like it ^^

Let us all breakthrough in life!~
