Benny Hinn, the new boyband Lollipop and Musical Extravaganza

Lots of things are going to happen from now to May. Let me explain...

First, church stuff. There is this healing evangelist called Benny Hinn, he will be coming to Singapore for a healing crusade organised by my church. He will need a thousand people choir (Needless to say, I am involved as I am a choir member). The fun thing is notes reading, you know, tao geh (literally translated as bean sprouts, which mean musical notes in music sense.). As church choir seldom really get to read notes, this is a chance for me to be able to help others in sight-reading as I have been reading musical notes ever since 5 years old, from learning organ at Yamaha, to learning violin from Lee Yu Chuan, to playing clarinet in secondary school, playing the saxophone in ITE, till now while singing in MPYC. So you can say that I've been sight-reading all my life. So, this is also a good learning ground and an exciting experience for me. The attire? Guys: white long sleeve shirt, black pants and navy blue/dark blue tie while for ladies: navy blue/dark blue shirt/blouse and black pants/skirt. I've seen other church choirs in other countries when he was there, ALL the attire was THE SAME! Thus the same thing for Singapore this time. I'm looking forward to practice on Sunday with the non-choir members who are helping out.



Next, there is this new boyband called Lollipop 棒棒堂 . They came out from a competition in Taiwan. They consist of: Owodog aka Ow Quan (Dancer by training), Wang Zi aka Prince (the cutest, the most popular with the girls in the group, one of the better singers), Xiaoyu (the best singer and rocker of the group), Wei Lian aka William (the tallest, fittest and the most hardworking of the group, and always not in tempo...), Xiaojie (Dancer by training, PR of the group) and A-wei (the shortest, the most confident, the funniest and the best dancer of the group). Their debut EP+DVD received good responses from both Singapore and Taiwan.


Last but not least, its my honor to announce the colleboration of International Festival Chorus (IFC) and the MPYC in a concert entitled Musical Extravaganza, where yours truly will be part of. It will be on 13 May 2007, at Victoria Concert Hall, 5pm. This concert will feature the Singapore Polytecnic Symphonic Band, conducted by Leonard Tan.

That's all for now! Till then, take care and enjoy everything you do!
