Hi guys,
Sorry, I know this entry is long overdue.
I’ve been back in Singapore for nearly 2 weeks now and honestly,
though I had not been working, but somehow or rather,
there are lots of things to settle and do!
The trip to Taiwan was an all-over-again experience for me.
Settling in the new hostel, walking up 4 storeys everyday, doing chores…
trying my best to react fast in variety shows
(yes, I admit I’m kinda slow and not really used to their variety culture
yet…though they are really quite interesting),
taking the challenge in becoming a street artiste, constant re-adaptation to
Taipei’s erratic weather… yes, it was back to basics again.
Whether the reports on paper made you feel I’m unlucky or not this time round,
the truth is, it doesn’t really matter.
There will always be ups and downs at work.
What matter most will always be my mission to sing.
Like what Lucille Ball says:
“Luck? I don’t know anything about luck. I’ve never banked on it,
and I’m afraid of people who do. Luck to me is something else:
Hard work—and realizing what is opportunity and what isn’t.”
Yup, and so it is. Life is about that.
Even though at times when I feel lonely and disappointed about certain things,
I know I just gotta get my butt moving and stop thinking about
such stuff anymore!
And so my album says, “I can’t fall, I won’t fall, I don’t want to fall!”
Sometimes I think it’s really not about falling,
it’s about getting up from the fall.
And as I repeat my mission once more:
It really is about singing and reaching out to the masses AND be happy :D
Love,
Joi
PS: Many thanks to the Taiwan media, record company and friends
who helped to promote my album zillions!
Album has been on charts for weeks!
Your words meant a great deal to me and I appreciate that. Thanks again!
PPS: Next on my schedule is my publicity trip to China. China, here I come!
