Recently i'm sure some of u noticed that i'm SUPER into a1's music again... I have been flooding my fb with their links and all.

I've been asking myself why do i like them so much, well i guess it's cos they really do bring me down my memory lane. They have been part of my childhood. A group that their songs my bro n i sing to when we were younger. Their song reminded me of all the happy times i spent with my mom when she was well... seriously i don't know what else to say...

For the past few days, i mean starting from this week i've been feeling really down. Mainly bcos i was let go from my project with Jack Neo. The reason they gave me was because for the coming week the shoots are going to be tiring and demanding. They want me to take care of my health first, because i've been falling sick quite a bit these days because of my previous viral infection.

Seriously speaking, i totally understand where they were coming from, becos it's a fact that we are severely short handed and i feel bad everytime i need to rest or even apply leave. But for me personally, i've always been very sensitive when it comes to my health. I always feel that once people know that i have leukemia, they'll look at me differently.

Whenever i fill up application forms for jobs, when they come to the health section, they will ask for a doctor's letter to prove that i'm fit for work. To me i feel really hurt when i have to do that. I don't know if you guys know what i'm talking about, but personally i feel what's wrong?!?!? Doesn't mean i'm not fit rite? It's just leukemia! That's how i see it though...

And what's more is that even though i know i'm sick, i always give my 150 percent in all the things that i do. I try not to give problems... (If i did, i'm sorry.) I'm not angry that they let me go, but just upset that the reason they gave was bcos of my health n all. I mean it will be so much easier for me to accept the fact that i didn't perform up to standard or something.

My bro told me, this world and society is very "REAL". We are working for them n not them working for us. But all in all, i still do look forward to furture projects with them. I'm just unlucky this time cos i haven't got the time to fully recuperate from my viral infection, but i'm sure at the end of the year's project i'll be fine.

Pls do pray along with me k? :D

Anyway back to topic, like i said i've been feeling really down these days bcos of that, but today when i listened to a1's song Like A Rose, ironically, it reminded me of God. And somehow i felt sooooooo comforted. :)

Let me share with u why... here's the lyrics to the song.

Like A Rose
Written By: Ben Adams, Mark Read and Paul Marazzi

And as I look into your eyes
I see an angel in disguise
Sent from god above
For me to love
To hold and idolise

And as I hold your body near
I'll see this month through to a year
And then forever on
Til life is gone
I'll keep your loving near

And now I've finally found my way
To lead me down this lonely road
All I have to do
Is follow you
To lighten off my load

You treat me like a rose
You give me room to grow
You shone the light of love on me
And gave me air so I can breathe
You open doors that close
In a world where anything goes
You give me strength so I stand tall
Just like a rose

And when I feel like hope is gone
You give me strength to carry on
Each time I look at you
There's something new
To keep our loving strong

I hear you whisper in my ear
All of the words I long to hear
Of how you'll always be
Here next to me
To wipe away my tears

And now I've finally found my way
To lead me down this lonely road
All I have to do
Is follow you
To lighten off my load

You treat me like a rose
You give me room to grow
You shone the light of love on me
And gave me air so I can breathe
You opened doors I closed
In a world where anything goes
You give me strength so I stand tall
Within this bed of earth
Just like a rose

And though the seasons change
Our love remains the same
You face the thunder
When the sunshine turns to rain
Just like a rose

You treat me like a rose
You give me room to grow
You shone the light of love on me
And gave me air so I can breathe
You opened doors I closed
In a world where anything goes
You give me strength so I stand tall
Within this bed of earth
Just like a rose

You give me strength so I stand tall
Within this bed of earth
Just like a rose

Basically i feel that the song points me to God, the chorus especially reminded me that this is how God allows me to grow and how i am loved by Him. Maybe i'm thinking too much, but i'm always thankful because this is how God speaks to me most of the time when i'm feeling very very down. I mean, why do i only listen to their song now? Rite? I haven't touched their song for the past 4 years or so, so everything do happen for a purpose.

I guess through this lonely journey, i can only depend on my Lord and He'll understand. Though i don't understand y, but i'm sure that a few months down when i look back at this incident, i'll give thanks and know that I've been blessed due to the circumstances. Don't u agree with me? :D

PS: Ben said this was their lamest MTV so far... haha n i totally agree! lol... XD

God Bless u all my friends!

Scroll down for music! :D

As some of u whom have known me since like 10 years ago would know that my favourite boyband then was A1... But after their 3rd album, they disbanded and i guess it was becos Paul left the group for some personal reasons.

I was REALLY sad at that time, but as time passed by, i didn't feel as sad, just felt that it was a pity that they weren't around the music scene anymore...

Then for the past 2 years, i found out that my favourite member, Ben Adams was still producing music and singing, so i got really excited. Too bad i couldn't get his cd, cos i gotta buy it online, which i don't know how... (I'm not a very tech savy person)

But here's the song that i really like... Sorry


And then just this year, there were news that A1 are getting back together (Ben, Mark and Christian only) for a end of year concert in i forgot where (i can't be bothered cos i'm very upset that i can't go cos it's no where near asia!!!) and i was happy that they were active again...

Then just recently, THEY RELEASED A SINGLE!!!! A1 is BACK!

I am so so so so happy! Recently they performed live at X-Factor and they really did mature and improved alot alot alot... Take a look for yourself... Mark's voice is so mesmerising... :D



Here's some of the old videos of them... hope u'll enjoy and hopefully it'll bring back some memories for u guys. :)

One of the thanks giving that i have for this year is to have the chance to work with Jack Neo for his movie, "Where Got Ghost".

It was really an eye opener for me, in terms of the working world as well as the 'spiritual side'. As the title tells it all, it's a ghost story. We went to lots of places to shoot, it was truly enjoyable, but yet at the same time it was a lot of hard work.

We were in the kampong, the forest, houses and hostel. Basically everywhere! Met a lot of ppl and learnt a lot. I never had the chance to learn all the things that i've learnt in school... sorry to say, i don't think u'll ever get to learn unless u get hands on from the industry itself.

It was God's favour that i even had the chance to work with them. Because i never imagine that my first project will be with Jack Neo. :)

Here's some pic with some ppl...

This is Leonard, He is the 2nd AD(assistant director) as well as the conti and script supervisor. A very difficult position i feel, cos u'll need to multitask. (Which i'm not very good at... lol) He taught me a lot along the way and i'm thankful that i can learn from him... :D


This is Vecce, she's the makeup artist for this project, who is my very good friend now... :)


This is Qian Yi da ge, he is truly a great actor. Super devoted i feel. :)


This is Tony, he is a new actor working with Jack Neo. He bought us mangosteen and durian during our shoot... super nice guy. :)


This is Yin Yin, the super cute and bubbly actress... super nice to talk to n fun to hang out with too... :D


Wang Lei da ge...


Ah Nan da ge... This pic has a story behind it... just to cut it short, it's a request from 'someone' haha and here it is for YOU! :)


This is Xing Ang, he's an actor plus a photographer for the shoot... the photos that he take is NICE! :D


Yamin


This is Li Ming Yi, a very humble and soft spoken lady. Reminds me of grandma... :)


This is Boris! He's the other Director for the show. He is also a script writer, there are many shows from mediacorp that are his stories... so he's like someone i look up too... :)


This is Jennifer... Those of u who watched the show and wonder who is the ghost in red? Well... here she is! haha she's actually a 16 years old teenager, pretty rite? :)


Last but not least, Jack Neo and me! :D


Here's the trailer... PLEASE support the show!!! DvD is out in stores! XD
