I miss you, blog

I used to blog a lot. A lot. I love writing. But since I got into Twitter, ahhm, yeah, the rest became history. LOL.

I promise I will come back to you, my blog! You've always been there for me through the years. I will come back to ya. Just forgive me for my addiction. I miss you, blog!

I saw Arianna Teoh

Just before we began singing last night, I saw an old friend who's a former Malaysian beauty queen, Ms. Arianna Teoh. She looked so frail because of her skinnier than skinny body. But you still can't deny that she's such a beautiful woman. In fact, a VERY beautiful woman. Glad that she told me that she got sick and just recovering. Just didn't ask what she was sick of as it's a more personal stuff to ask and besides, I was running late for our 1st set.

We chatted about her events. Yes, she produces concerts of international famous stars like Il Divo in 2007. We had the chance to mingle with Il Divo then every night as they watched us perform. We were also fortunate to take some photos with them. Recent concert she has organized succesfully was Sarah Brightman on March this year.

And I was sooooo excited when she told me that the next thing in her calendar of events is to bring my idol Lea Salonga in July! Wow!!! I have just been tweeting with Lea Salonga through her @bigsis222 account on Twitter last week. And yes, she does answer tweets. :-)

So anyway, back to the topic, I had to cut my conversation with Arianna short because we had to start our 1st set. I forgot to ask about her husband, Alex Yoong, who is a famous race driver and is now hosting The Checkered Flag during F1 season on Star Sports, along with Paula Malai Ali. In 2006, we went to the A1 Grand Prix to support him by yelling whenever his car would pass by the grandstand where we were sitting. Oh well...

We were on our 2nd or 3rd song when Arianna stood up to leave. I waved at her then guess who I saw? Alex Yoong! And I was soooooo glad and flattered when he actually waved back at us - he remembers us!!! Yayyyyy!

That's all. Wait, I'm putting up the pics that we took in 2007 - just in case you wanna see her & Il Divo, too LOL. So I'm going to sleep now. Really. No more tweeting til I wake up! LOL.

Kopi Dangdut by Sarita (URB Band)

An Indonesian Dangdut number - definitely a favorite song of the locals here in KL. Thanks to Melfay for the video. :-)

Selena sings "Mama" (A Mother's Day Special)

I'm so proud of my only princessette, Selena. She's just 9 years old, but she sings each song with feeling. She specially recorded this song - MAMA - for me, because it talks about a mother who's been away from her family to work for them. FYI, I left her when she was just 2-month old. But she's used to this setup and my mom has done a great job in raising her up. The only mismatching part of this song is - I'm not a maid in London! LOL.

Play the first song on this playlist to listen to her song. It's a playlist of some of my songs too. Find the lyrics of this song below the music player.

I want to do a montage video for this beautiful song. Hopefully it'd be just in time for this coming Mothers' Day. :-)




MAMA
(Popularized by Smokey Mountain | Revived by Charice Pempengco)

Mama she wrote me a letter
Saying she's gonna be fine
Please take good care of your sister
I'll be home in three years time


Mama it seems like forever
You've been gone since i was five
They say you were a good teacher
In the same school where i can't survive

Mama's a maid in london
I want to believe that she's fine
She could be lonely in london
I want to know why she had to go
I need her, i want to be near her
I've got to be with her
And see to it that we're together once more

My english teacher she told me
She wants to be where you are
Mama she's leaving her family
To earn all the money she wants

London, vancouver, or hong kong
Governess, housekeeper, or nurse
What is to happen to all of us children?
With mothers who travel so far

Mama's a maid in london
I want to believe that she's fine
She could be lonely in london
I want to know why she had to go
I need her, i want to be near her
I've got to be with her
And see to it that we're together once more

Once more...

Bloggin' less, twittin' more

It's been weeks since I've wanted to blog as much as I tweet. Yeah, been twittin a lot more than bloggin. Just now, a friend - @APES - reminded me to update my blogs because she's been checking out what's new with me. Guess she couldn't keep up with my flood-twittin sometimes! LOL

Just so you know, I will try my very best to multitask - blog & tweet.
