Possible

2010-01-17T23:12:00.000-08:00

its only 3 weeks since 2010 started...

I'm pushing forward my will power to be the Gina I want to be. Happy...

I'm cleaner, fresher, have feel absolutely great.

I'm very determined to push forward. Regardless how many tried to bring me down.

Perhaps a few are... could be disappointed in the some choices i've made for myself this year.

Yes...I could have hurt you...disappoint you...but I'm still here...

Someone told me something yesterday,
" THANK YOU for your presense."
" Not a problem, we're just doing our job." I replied.
" No...its like, you can be here physically, but no presense... but your presense is felt."

No matter how early I have to wake up, no matter how tired I am, no matter how much I have to do, no matter i gotta to use the UPAPA for my feet every night, no matter if i feel down and out on certain days...

That makes all the difference for me really.
I'm that simple.

Happy...

Tried and trial to make everyone happy..but I am not... but I guess that's not the point... because, I'll never make anyone happier...

everything starts from me... when I'm happy everyone else will be too...specially the ones who love me...

My mum, dad, sister, friends are rooting for me to do well... giving me the support i need and more... being there for me.

THANK YOU.

STAY HAPPY.

I'm still always forever here too...

Many I miss...

2010-01-14T01:19:00.000-08:00

Today Decided to give myself a break after 2 busy weeks.
Met with J today... been a while since we had lunch together.

was very happy.

I love bus rides... ever I mention? *smile*

On my way home... sitting in the bus, I got a call from J.USS and W.USS ...hahaha they say they miss me... so adorable! I miss all of them too!

After hanging up, with MP3 in my ears... I quickly fell into a feeling... i miss so many... ah gong (s).... ah ma (s).... cousins... niece... friends... and those whom might have once crossed paths with me.

feeling a little down, a tear naturally rolled off my face...I quickly wiped it, hoping no one actually saw me....

B. ah gong...
I miss you so much! I last remembered seeing you, when I was 8 years old, during your birthday.

A.ah gong...
I miss you too. I remember taxi rides, bah guas....kisses on the cheek... hugs... your motivation...*crys* I miss you.

I LOVE YOU...

Always your grand daughter.... Gina

及时，好坏人，我们都是。。。 (不管您喜欢不喜欢 /承认吗 )

有意，无意。。。哈哈哈。。。都做过了！

X'mas and soon to close 2009... JIA YOU!

2009-12-26T08:51:00.000-08:00

So its X'mas... how's my life? its been sickly...

I was out stationed for a while... and came back...unfortunately caught in the rain.

I was in bed for most of the time... the rest of it was my frequent visits to the toilet for nature calls ;)

Though I was spending Xmas this year quietly at home... I have to say...Its was very pleasant... been awhile since I've been home for such a long time... all year round been running around meeting people...work...teaching...

so much so...my dad was worried for a moment," gal you ok? why haven't been going out?" lol... "I'm sick mah..."

2009 will be coming to an end... so what have i done?

I've managed many things this year.... feeling more active...moving around day to day... travel... have a little bit more family time... my guys from N.E.W. is doing well... we did we a musical with YEC.... I must also say I did go through some up and downs... but life is just like that isn't it?

there's ups and downs...

I really like the song above...always wanted to find out the title... but -_-" always ask around people but no one seems to know... thankful my dear J knew it and told me its call 我相信 (I believe)

Its inspires me... HAPPY SONG you know?

In my recent trip to a seminar ( thanks to IH )...

One speaker spoke words of wisdom...well, I say... my wants in life...

Let me share it with you...

Dreams of a common man...

GOOD LIFE...

BE FILIAL

SEE THE WORLD

WEALTH AND HEALTH

BE A USEFUL AND HELPFUL PERSON TO SOCIETY AND OTHERS.

BE HAPPY BEING THE BEST OF ME...

and like I've always say... give gratitude ....

give gratitude to those whom give an opportunity and the be grateful to the opportunity itself.

I dedicate the following video to you too....

JIA YOU!

My Grown Up X'mas List.... let's make it happen! ;)

2009-12-13T09:55:00.000-08:00

I was tripping over the fact its Xmas and drafting out whatever i wish for... listing them out one by one... but since I was introduced this song by a friend...*thank you* about 3 to 4 years ago... since then... couldn't really list down what I want... its always a halfway list... It keeps me reminded what Xmas is all about... and since I'm grown up and still learning in this growing life of mine... I like to share this to you... take a step back before we wish for something to have this Xmas... perhaps we can offer a special...could be as simple as a box of biscuits...a pack of instant noodles...even better... clothes which has been sitting in our closet for the longest time... perhaps WE CAN SHARE that little something we took granted or forgotten and pass it on to someone who really will need and appreciate it...

Share one gift that you HAVE and FORGOTTEN...to someone who NEEDS it and TREASURE it this Xmas...

MY GROWN UP Xmas List:

Do you remember me?
i sat upon your knee
i wrote to you with childhood fantasies
Well i'm all grown up now
can you still help somehow?
i'm not a child, but my heart still can dream
So here's my lifelong wish
my grown-up christmas list
not for myself, but for a world in need
No more lives torn apart
that wars would never start
and time would heal all hearts
every man would have a friend
that right would always win
and love would never end
this is my grown-up christmas list
What is the illusion called "the innocence of youth"?
maybe only in that blind belief can we ever find the truth
No more lives torn apart
that wars would never start
and time would heal all hearts
every man would have a friend
that right would always win
and love would never end
this is my grown-up christmas list
this is my only lifelong wish
this is my grown-up christmas list

MERRY MORE GREAT TIMES!
MAMA Gina

MY 1ST SWIM... AFTER 28 YEARS.

2009-09-09T06:00:00.000-07:00

Today... I swam...

I swam for the 1st time...or rather... its the 1st time of countless times i swam... I felt I really did swim.

So how I did...a good 5 laps...it was the best... its was an experience.

I was so happy... I came home smiling and close to tears...

MY EXPERIENCE:

When I reached the pool...I was down filled with alot of anger accumulated the last few days...
I hated the thought people could be looking at me... and yes some were...
"look at this fat chick scrolling by to swim?" well... i assumed.
negativity was swimming in my mind...

But I just didn't care... I angered the world so much I just wanted to do what I felt I wanted...

Choice between 2 pools...

I took of my black kimono robe... and I went into the open pool instead of the competition pool.

As I enter the pool... there were couples... and some other human beings.

I just dove into a swim. I wanted to do 5 laps...that's just hit me.

While swimming just merely a few breath of air... I questioned... "Crap! Can I do this? normally can't even do 1 lap properly!"

I was so angry.... I just DID IT... cos I think I can!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I didn't gave a thought abt anything else...

As I reach my 1st half of the lap... I was breathless and still anger...cos I JUST WANT TO DO IT.

moving back to finish my 1st lap...I thought " I'm so near yet so far to my very 1st lap...why stop? I tired... but not dying... I can do this... "

I started to ...THINK... RELATED...TO MY FEELINGS AND THOUGHTS...MYSELF. I was rushing to the end of the pool...

when I reached the end of my 1st lap..." F***!"...( sorry I can't help it.) I WAS BREATHLESS

I breathe... and wondered... again..."5 laps? can meh?"

"heck lah... just lai lah!"... I continued... this time... I just looked straight ahead...

And my focus was to finish this 2nd lap...

As I swim... I felt it seems easier... like... not as hard than the 1st lap...

but I started to bump into people who cross paths with me...

I got distracted about the people swimming next to me...

Every time I look and wondered about others or when someone accidentally brushed my feet or arm...I PANIC... I SLOW DOWN...

but i did finish my 2nd lap..." YES!" ....

i went on to my 3rd lap... it got so much easier...I knew the way of my BIG body to swim better...

I finished it with ease...* smiled *

then I took a short break.... it lasted 10 mins...

why? my left foot got cramp.... crap!

it was pretty bad... and I was afraid if I con't to swim... I will stop half way and panic...maybe drown... worse... no one is strong enough to help me from the pool... so i just massaged my foot in the pool for a while...

the cramp was still there... and I really wanted to finish what I decided... 5 laps...i mean it meant quite a bit to me cos I never did 1 lap properly mah... and since I did 3 laps already... it will be damn wasted and disappointed...

I just did it... I did my 4th lap... it was a bit painful for my left foot... but I just went ahead and decided not to think much abt it... but maybe swim slowly and steady...

As I looked forward... the pain seem to go away... and I just con't... slow and steady...

As i swam... I moved away a bit as I see on coming human traffic coming by or crossing... but went back on track to the end...i never stop at all

in the end...I FINISH...BOTH 4TH AND 5TH LAP...

NON STOP...

I wasn't breathless... in fact I wanted to go on... but my goggles snapped...

you see my speedo goggles were with me since 2004... and it obvious it snapped.... it never had such intensive workout with me before...

I smiled and i left... this time... I walked alone... didn't give a crap if anyone looked at me.... don't think they did...

i was just beaming with pride... i knew what i did ... and i woke me up...

REALISATION= CHANGE.

I dedicated this song everyone... and to you. I WISH YOU All the best...you know who you are.

Sometimes Love Just Ain't Enough

2009-09-07T10:05:00.001-07:00

I dont wanna lose you,
I dont wanna use you
Just to have somebody by my side (do you trust this fact of mine?)
And I dont wanna hate you
I dont wanna take you
But I dont wanna be the one to cry ( but I am...though I'm not)
That dont really matter to anyone, anymore ( which is sad )
But like a fool I keep losing my place
And I keep seeing you walk through that door (All the time...i did try...did you?)

But theres a danger in loving somebody too much
And its sad when you know its your heart you cant trust
Theres a reason why people dont stay where they are
Baby sometimes love just aint enough (.....)

Now I could never change you ( we both thought we could...or was purely my foolish thinking?)
I dont wanna blame you ( who am i to blame you...when its your choice)
Baby you dont have to take the fall ( you don't have to...since I'm taking it like a woman)
Yes I may have hurt you
But I did not desert you ( never did...)
Maybe I just wanna have it all (wishful thinking? All I WANTED WAS TO BE THERE)
It makes a sound like thunder
It makes me feel like rain ( its hurts so much...in here..)
And like a fool who will never see the truth
I keep thinking somethings gonna change ( I thought so...)

But theres a danger in loving somebody too much ( there's is...i took it with this risk...)
And its sad when you know its your heart you cant trust ( yes it hurts)
Theres a reason why people dont stay where they are ( but I stood by you all this time...)
Baby sometimes love just aint enough * in tears with a soring heart *

And theres no way home
When its late at night and youre all alone ( I know you feel this way now...but...)
Are there things that you wanted to say (...did you but you didn't... )
Do you feel me beside you in your bed
There beside you where I used to lay ( I was there...am i still standing beside you? should i?)

And theres a danger in loving somebody too much
And its sad when you know its your heart they cant touch.
Theres a reason why people dont stay who they are
Cause baby sometimes love just aint enough.
Baby sometimes love just aint enough.

To aim for what you want you sometimes need more than just alot of love... you need to sacrifice...are you willing? everytime something painful occurs among ppl... this song rings in my head... applying to different senarios...

THIS SONG IS FOR YOU..
and... I hope this song is for me too....

President's Challenge 2009 and My Visit to Society for the Physically Disabled

2009-08-25T09:06:00.000-07:00

Live 'Live' 2009 - Embrace Guide & Groom

supports President Challenge 2009!!

Together with UAN Artistes. We are going to put up performances and we have a booth as well!

Do come support us in this event. And we are not asking just for your moral support this time...

Do chip in your part for charity as well!

Our dedicated Charity organisation is the Society for the Physically Disabled.

All proceeds to our services during the event day goes to our Charity.

Do your bit...

Services at our booth:

~ TAROT CARD READING

~ Instant makeover ( free photoshoot )

~ Sales of tickets for LIVE 'LIVE' 2009.

With every $5 donation and service you will get a " SURE WIN" Lucky Dip!

Many useful gifts up for grabs.

EVENT:

29th August 2009 Saturday.

time: 10 am to 10pm

venue:

Ngee Ann City Civic Plaza.

booth: UAN WORLD

We are aiming to raise alot for this charity.

They need all the help and donations we can contribute.

I also like to take this point to share my experience while I visited the centre today.

Though I didn't managed to see any of their clients there. I was given a tour around.

The staff explained briefly their services and how they have been contributing and helping the physically disabled.

I was very much encouraged and determined to help them to raise the cash.

A simple tool or facility may cost over ten over thousands for a person whom required the need.

If you see a person in a wheelchair with a remote to move the wheelchair around. Its not because they are rich which is a often misconception.

Its because they do not have the ability to move the wheel chair manually.

To really consider the factors.

The physically Disabled are one of the most forgotten groups in society...

These are the needy. They need us and we can help them

I'm encouraged to also know some whom are lucky enough to support themselves also find ways to work and earn some sort of a allowance for themselves... however others may need their help.

They are helping among themselves... as able fellow citizens...shouldn't we too?

So I strongly encourage you to drop by to Ngee Ann City coming Saturday.

Come by to our booth and

be EDUCATED.... and you can DECIDE

if you want to be part of what I was educated today.

MAMA G

PS: I'm hosting from 10 to 3pm and in the evening from 7 to 9pm... see you?!

I feeling like I'm Winning all over again!

2009-08-17T12:11:00.000-07:00

I feel like a winner... all over again....

the feeling of I CAN...

I CAN DO ANYTHING...

When I was 15... I had this drive to make something happen...

silly as it may sound... I was a groupie.

I was a mad fan of the Brit Boy Band TAKE THAT

I was a more than just a fan.

the funniest thing was... I was a fan only immediately after they split up.

I was devoted.

I wanted to create a fanclub despite the split.

Many thought i was mad...seriously

I was convinced I can do it.

And the best has yet to come...

I WANTED IT TO BE AN OFFICIAL FANCLUB...

RECOGNISE BY their RECORD LABEL..then it was

BMG MUSIC (SINGAPORE)

Crazy huh?

I went ahead to give BMG a call... they turned me down... I called again... the same pattern went on for 30 good days non stop.

Until they got so 'disgusted' by my 15 year old voice... they put me through the

Label Executive. I spoke. and proposed...

She was nice enough to listen... really...

then told me to come up with a proposal.

Trust me. at 15 years old... a proposal was like...WHAT?! HUH?!

I just took my courage and went on... after a week

I met up with her and showed her my

Lavender purple coloured A4 size proposal with foolscape writing paper scribbled with my so called ideas and explained why my fanclub WILL WORK.

3 days later... a call to my home

( during those times teenagers only got pager and no mobiles )

"Hey Gina. I got GOOD NEWS!"

I screamed... without even knowing what's the news yet.

" ok...listen up. BMG will take your fanclub as the OFFICIAL SINGAPORE TAKE THAT FC"

"That's means we'll support you in a few ways. Publicity and sorts"

I don't even know what's publicity meant then...muhahahaha

In a few weeks... I read in a Local Entertainment Magazine

I got a half page advert on my fanclub as THE OFFICIAL FC!!

And I have a FC LAUNCH. On the launch date I had 100 members joined me.

each paid only $25 to be a member.

in a month. I had about 250 members.

We will be invited to press conferences and concerts for free...

get super exclusive premiums. like the artistes concert costumes and etc...

ITS WAS CRAZY...

a few weeks later. I got calls from other labels... weird... asking me if i'm interested to create FC for other groups.. like the backstreet boys and n'sync...

I was like? why? I only like TAKE THAT..

thinking about it now... I WAS SO SILLY...

I Stopped after a year... why? cos I was bored.

Hey... I was 15... so responsibility wasn't my traits then...hahahaha

But I always love this drive... and I feel like winner now...

I'm driven to succeed and be the BEST...

Specially when ppl say I'm crazy... right now? CRAZY is good...

I CAN DO ANYTHING...

ITS MY WAY OR NO WAY...

MAMA G... THE WINNER

Damn Proud to be Singaporean once again!

2009-08-15T11:56:00.000-07:00

14th August 2009... I was there...

I seemed to have love ones whom are emo lately...

2009-08-11T07:14:00.000-07:00

Hmm....
I was about to declare how much of a great day I had... until I realise some love ones are feeling emo these days... specially today...

XXXX classmate just passed on....
XXXXX is feeling lost or indecisive?
XXXX jie seemed to be upset abt her some friendship?
XXXXXXXX seems to be feeling low...cos ppl doubt him?

Life isn't a bed of roses...
Life isn't all colours and rainbow...
Life isn't perfect...

But

Life is full of lessons...

I am a bit affected that they are down... but I gotta be strong to pick them up and walk along...

Its times like these... all of us need to be strong for ourselves...when times are low

Its times like these... all of us need to be a partner ...a follower... a friend... a family...
a support...for the ones feeling low...

Be strong... together we will get there...

Join me and Fly ... I'm glad I'm alive so I've met you!

I adore you very much

I'm glad I'm alive....

I'm glad I'm Living...

I was open with the culture of music and love...

An upbringing that teaches me right from wrong...

I've gain so much pain to earn so much love...

I'm taught to give in but not give away...

I'm taught to take but not to take away...

I'm glad I've have a mind of my own now...

I am happy the least...

This is a me myself and I blog entry...

Its time I start to give more to myself...

I got nothing to lose...cos' I've given all that I can...

I want to give more... but to give better... I need to be better me...

That's logic...

Idealist trying to be logical... that's a miracle...*lol*

Miracles do happen...why? cos' God is fair...

I'm looking better. Feeling better. Focus. And Motivated.

I do need a MP4 though...hahaha

I'm ready to walk...no run...no fly...are you ready?

Gotta be side by side...otherwise... I'm sorry. I'll see you there...somehow!

I've got family. Friends. Work. A home to return to. What else I need?

some say Love... Maybe... not....

I'm not ready...quite certain.

I'm glad I'm alive...

Who knew...

2009-07-22T09:06:00.000-07:00

Who knew I was also human...

Today one of the few times in my lifetime ...I'll zoned out...

Kept with millions of things in my mind... from event to event... situation to situation... worry to worry...idea to idea...

Plus I was filling up with emotions with alot of misses...

Like a human too, I take alot of what I do personal... like my artistes and whom-ever I'm in touch and close with... I know many times, a few will tell me, its not personal but I do take it personal if someone fails to produce, and THAT someone is someone either I'm mentoring, coaching or guiding...

I get affected...somehow... I wonder If i did a good job enough, enough to give back to them? or its just them or me?

Sometimes in some contradicting factors, when I really want to give all I can, someone(s) might just think motives is part of my agenda...

sad...

sleepless night, worries... creation of ideas and methods in hoping they might be able to learn and improve more...

'sigh'

logic will help at this times...

Maybe I really ask too much for myself... or...*sigh*

AI YA...

I really don't know now, Sometimes... I do wonder if I am asking too much of myself... but then I want perfection... so I can't stop...

I'm so caught up I need to breathe...

I'm not stress leh... really! its more of like... i need to be organised and stay focus!

I need to get back on my feet...

stop losing it... and get set and ready for what's to come!

Mama G

ps: Insensitive... I liked, love this song... I hope someone can teach me alittle abt being insensitive... sensitivity is a subjective issue, isn't it?

I miss you...

2009-07-20T09:52:00.000-07:00

Its been a really busy time for me.... YEC MUSICAL....TEENAGE SMASH which ended with a blast last Sunday... more to come....and Live 'Live' 2009.

I'm tied up with so many thing my mind... but every night over these weeks as my eyes slowly closes into my deep sleeps...

I think about a few people... my late grandpas... my best friend, JP in states... my buddy Jimmy...

I miss them alot...

specially JP...Wondering what's he's doing when I'm tied up with everything... if I have neglected him, haven't called or email him for a while...

I know he's fine and happily in love with new found love, But I can't help but wonder...many people commonly tell me,"both of you never met, how can you ever say he's your best friend?" the "real" relationship never happen....nonsense lor...

I knew JP for 15yrs already... through phone, email, letters, pictures and videos... I've shared everything about me to him... I have no hidden stories with him.... and he loves me the way I am... for really who I am... *smile* I don't know if anyone person can easily say they have such a friend.Though far away he is always here for me... listening to me...and I am so here for him too.

I'm lucky to be in love with my best friend... though so far away...

I miss Jimmy...

hope he is ok. Became good friends only about a month after we met, he had to leave Singapore... sad...but he's a good chap! He still is... hope ou are all well in phli...

I miss Grand pas... i do... I miss you! I miss you so much... I never had a proper goodbye with you both...really... specially the only had my childhood as my memories... all I have with me is memories...the imagination of your touch, your fragrances...your smile... Can you see me now? Are you proud of me? Have I been the grand-daughter you hope I can be? Ah gong ... i miss you... I do... these thoughts just come to me... I don't think this is weakness... these tears of mine are kept away a long time.... You are always with me... I want another hug...no other hug can feel like yours...

Emo...

How is everything?

2009-07-12T10:28:00.002-07:00

I believe in many things and people.

I believed in myself too.

I believed everyone has a choice.

I believe that choices are made with our sub consienous mind.

I believe sometimes we neglect alot of things in life.

I believe I will succeed.

I believe you can too.

You...can...

I believe.

My Passion My Hopes My Dreams...

2009-07-03T08:31:00.000-07:00

When I decided what I want to do with myself for this year or years down the road, I figure I might be walking on a lonely path....

Because no one can understand why I chose the path I choose...

And how much of a perfectionist I will and can be if I set my mind to it.

I may misspell and add a sense of blurriness... but my mentor reminded me before... You are a perfectionist...only if you want to.

I love what I do, But I want more than just what I do...

I have to push myself to be THE BEST in what i do best...

I will push my followers to be THE BEST as well...

To be a leader, you must 1st follow...

as a follower, once you need to raise to the occasion to lead...

its your calling...

Be the leader... cos no one else can...

I follow and I lead... I must succeed...

Perfection is not possible... yet...

I will seek perfection in myself, my work, my passion, my dreams and my followers.

Michael Jackson 1958 -2009... My hero... my tribute

2009-06-29T10:40:00.000-07:00

I guess it didn't dawn or emotionally hit me until now... as I thought I was about to hit the sack.. a short tribute to Micheal Jackson was on tele...

Then It finally struck me...

I was and still is a fan...

He, whom I believed is a icon... the music, dance and entertainment we are enjoying and evolved today, he's the god father...

Indefinately the media will cover the kids, his wealth... his death...

Life of an artiste...

he was the LIFE of an artiste.

I remembered as a child, part of my daily routine was:

- 3 VHS tapes ready on my tv desk
80s mtv, and a must watch was Michael's BEAT IT mtv...
Grease
Muppets - rainbow connection

Without fail, these 3 tapes was like my daily dosage... for my mum to just go about in her house chores while I'll just sit in front of the tele and watch...

I'll learn his moves and singing style...

My parents got me such a big fan, I had all his movies on LD...THAT'S old... and all his cds...

i never had the chance to see him live though...

Its a bit too sudden....

I had to youtube him... again...

Here's for us...Michael...THANK YOU...

I'm back home.....

2009-06-29T10:09:00.000-07:00

Lang Sari Resort Shot from Flickr

Being back home feels.... good.

The trip was chill, slightly different but still a whole lot of fun...

Snorkeling was a blast and the hospitality of the guides are great...

Enjoyed my time with good company of my artistes and my partners...

Got to know some of my artistes a little better...

More shots soon, can't post them up till all the shots are approved by us, the management.

I'm a lot tan then before...well I wasn't tan I suppose, however the bummer side I got some sand fly bites here and there.... trying to control my scratching...

Coming back, immediately set into my work, calls, emails...and my my, its only the weekend but my email account was so flooded.

in the evening, met up with my the Lang Sari Group for dinner and a movie.... dinner was good, we had Japanese... I had yaki beef...YUMMMM.... and movie TRANSFORMERS..

HOT...good graphics and cinematography... good catch lines too!

i love bumble bee... ha! I could fall for a robot.... anytime hahaha....

In the meantime, I'm off to bed soon, early day tomorrow.... and lots of work... plus coming rehearsals for YEC musical...

ps: My blog seems ok now...*smile*....

I MISS YOU.... YES! YOU...

2009-06-24T10:52:00.000-07:00

This song is such a charm... sets the mood for me... its up in here just for you!

I'm off soon... I want to be back and see smiling face of everyone...

I love you all... dearly... specially all my love ones, you know who you are...

The sets of emotions set in this week... i wonder why really...

I feel emotional easily... not really negative... but some of emotions concerns love, believe and my thoughts about everything...

I feel emotional now...missing everyone though I'm just off over the weekend...

I really don't know why?... just a feeling...

rather as I type this blog... my heart has a cracked feeling... like... weird...

maybe I'm so caught up with work and everything else all this time, I haven't settle down emotionally I'm going to take this trip with my UAN kiddies...

MISSING YOU...

ps: I maybe away... but I'll always be here for you always....i'm just a ring away if you need me...

MAMA G

Today had a couple of flashbacks... of nights when I would cry as a little girl with a nightmare, and you rush into the room and comfort me to sleep, and let me snuggle into the bed when I was acting like a little princess...

When you would get me the world if I wanted...

Daddy you have gone and came back from the end of the earth for me.

Today is not just a day...

I love you very much.

I'm thankful I've got you...

LOVE YOU SO VERY MUCH!

Your daughter, Gina...

To all fathers....

Why I love Singapore...

2009-06-20T08:58:00.000-07:00

Today was a busy and very tiring day for me.... very...

I guess its all accumulated after series of early mornings and mind boggling hours of straight working mode for several weeks non stop.

I crave for fun, and yet I'm enjoying my work all this time...

Contradictions...once again!

Anyway... today... YEC musical rehearsals... hmmm.... had a good day, warms up, briefings, focus and fun too!

The cast and crew are a bunch of mixed up fun...

Of cos, I had my moments... hehehe... perfectionist mah!*wink*
I will not apologies about what I've said, as I'm just making things right and getting things done, but I want to apologies for losing it at moments... let's all just do it...

In the mist of the hustling of the rehearsal, I struck a question -WHY I LOVE SINGAPORE? to the cast members.... and I asked myself that question.

Its simple and personal.

I wonder if anyone really sat down and asked themselves this question?

It was then, some cast members realised they didn't really asked themselves before.

Hmmm.... why?

I have several reasons... and honestly... its some may sound politically correct. but there's a difference between politically correct, giving a model answer and a sincere answer.

The difference is clear, by tone, voice, your eyes, facial expressions and how you put your words together... in fact, usually the sincere answer just "pop" into your mind! And you immediately know its right...

its alot like love....wait... it is about love... love for Singapore.... *smiles*

As the day about the end, I was given something to read, something personal.... and maybe I never was meant to read it, but I had the opportunity to...

THANK YOU... I was close to tears... I'm glad my actions are reflected as real as it is...as real as I really truly want to give....

thank you...

its feels good once in a while to be remained I love being...

How to let go?

2009-06-18T09:01:00.000-07:00

In one of my previous entry, About Pain?

Someone commented and asked "How to let go?"

I was struck with a smile upon my face...

As I've got no answer to it.... as its all about YOU...

There are many battles we fight in this life of ours...

Most of the time, we fight alone in these battles...

Battles of Love, peace, heart and faith....

No one can ever understand your pain...no one can ever understand an other's pain either...

Having said that, you need to pick it up the pieces and learn to...

Let Go and Let Live...

I'm no guru, I'm no saint, I'm not perfect...but that doesn't mean I cannot seek for perfection.

So will you.... its only your right, to live the way you want and its your own solo right to decide how you allow all the pain, happiness overwhelm you...

therefore...my answer is...

YOU....

*SMILE*...

MAMA G

What's making me busy lately?

2009-06-17T02:40:00.000-07:00

How Little pain is, it is still pain...

2009-06-14T11:28:00.000-07:00

In moments of pain...

how slight or deep...

it is still pain...

pain is like love and joy... it comes in many forms...

Physical pain... which is measured in many ways...

Mentality pain... which is a call for a break and relive in one thoughts...

Then we have the Emotional pain...

Emotional pain... its causes by any reasons... basis on the different form of Love...

But the pain we all feel through emotions... its a strange and sad feeling...

It builds up with your heart... as if its all tensed up... and skrinking in a way like its bleeding internally...and you would use your hands and clench on your chest where you hurting heart is and begin to tear...

That's pain...

That's something we all wish it was never there and it won't ever come...

But we also know pain is good... pain make us real...make us realise ourselves... make us wake up...

pain allow us to fall upon our knees and stand back up...

Don't have to welcome pain, but it does come knocking on your door, embrace pain... let it turn up and greet you... then let it go...

this ad made my day!!!

2009-06-04T09:28:00.000-07:00

I LOVE THIS AD.... so so so funny!!!!

its 3 am and I'm wondering why I want to blog this...

2009-06-01T12:17:00.000-07:00

Its freaking 3 in the morning.... and I'm blogging...

Something tells me I got to. I have to.

I said a few times in these blog entries of mine about people crossing their paths with me etc etc etc...blah blah blah...

Even sometimes I'm sick of thinking about it...

But the fact is... I STILL DO...

I'm not really angry... but... I suppose I'm upset...

And I wonder why... when there are better things and bigger lessons in life I can enjoy and experience than bothering over people whom I STILL wonder IF i wasted my time on...

the key words here are STILL and IF...

I came to understand as an Artiste Manager...you seem to be seen as the "POWER HUNGRY" one...

nope... we are the "BUSINESS MINDED" one... we want to get things done and earn from it!

Being a human... we have emotions..therefore we care...and sometimes we care too much...

Anyway my point being...

I need to clarify one thing to everyone....

When one thinks they are walking out of something... they have been wasting their time and life with...but actually had one of the best life lessons with...

go figure...

for example if let's say someone says I have wasted my time in this course cos' now I'm working something else...

I say... it ain't a waste until you walked out...

Anything and everything and everyone can be a waste of time of your time if you choose to walk out... and when you walked out with the thought you made the right choice and whatever it was wasted your time...

by fact you wasted your own time...and sadly you wasted their time too...

So when someone tells me if I'm wasting my time doing whatever I'm doing... I'll go figure how to make whatever I'm doing worth it and make it happen SOMEHOW.

And for those whom felt they have walked out and wasted their time...

think again...

you wasted the time and lives of people around you and my time....

AND MOST IMPORTANTLY...

YOU MIGHT HAVE WALKED OUT OF YOUR DREAMS...

As for me... I just con't to STILL wonder... If i wasted my time on you before... cos i gave nothing less than 100%... its worth it isn't it? You were my lesson too...

Don't be sorry about yourself...your choice ain't it?

MAMA G

Living up to expectations... Whose?

2009-05-31T11:22:00.000-07:00

Mine, yours, whose?

Everyday we wake up and we a life. nothing special just something we've been doing since we are born isn't it?

Just that our lives are led so differently and yet the same...

We live in a society which is both cruel and kind...

We are constantly reminding ourselves to be generous...

We are constantly reminding ourselves to be selfish too...

We are constantly living up to expectations...

Yours, His, Hers, Theirs, Mine and Whose?

When will it be a day We just won't do...

There won't be a day...

There won't be a second...

Wait... there is...

When we are six feet under... in a way...

That's sad isn't it... or maybe not...

Live "LIVE" the way they, he, she, you and I want it.

Life is nothing without they, he, she, you and me...

MAMA G

a prayer...

2009-05-23T09:59:00.000-07:00

I dedicate the above video for my artiste... its light hearted, its funny, but just like me, putting words of importance with a dash of humor... this speech, as I feel has deep meaning...understand and comprehend it, XXXXXX.

Dear God,

I'm a believer. I'm not a believer in Christ, but in you, God.

You are beyond alot of things and you are...as I believe, great.

I believe you have given me strength, guide and a path to walk on... I will still choose the path I would like to walk...

Anyway, I'm writing to you for the 1st time, after countless of prayers. This time, in writing...well... technically I'm blogging and hope you read this....hehehehe...we all have to go along with technology, right? *wink*

In this blog-prayer I seek from god, its regards with an artiste of mine, who happens to be a faithful devotee and a child of god, he believes strongly in Christ and has taken alot of time off to...well i would tease, " his conversation with god".

Why am I writing to you about him? Cos' I'm concern. Recently, due to some unfortunate and beyond our control conditions, he is to leave Singapore, and may not be coming back... well even so long term....

He's young, bright, and a good boy in a certain extend. He is too, naive, young, and still learning about the gifts and choice of life lessons.

He upset me quite a bit recently. I don't know how or where to start. I am still hurt.

In short... responsibility, in actions and words.

I don't blame him, but I am concern, as he takes off, I do understand, I won't be there...

I know I can't be there forever, I know I was only a cross path in his life, since a year back.

I know I can't do much. I know I can just forget, and he'll live... he'll survive.

I know it seems as if I feel he's ain't coming back, when the odds of him coming back is very much higher, but odds against odds, its not a confirmation.

If he does return to Singapore... then its a good thing...

I have alot of artistes leaving in and out, still in contact overseas... however should anything happen, I'm still here and they are there... there's so much I can do only... a call, a email?

Again... another, and this time is XXXXXX...

But dear god, I hope you can give him more than just a shelter, family and love, I hope you can give him strength, because... he's going to be disappointed about life, people, and etc... but just for a short while.

Let him feel the pain, but let him heal.

Let him lose, but let him earn.

Let him forget, but let him treasure.

Last for not least, let him be well, and let him live "live"...

Dear god, you know what I mean...

I thank you 1st! so it will be answered.

Thank you.

MAMA G

What's so grateful about?

2009-05-21T11:29:00.001-07:00

Some insensitive toot asked me why be so grateful to life and people, when...

its not going to make you millions,
it hasn't given you world peace,
there are so much misery in the world,
it hasn't answered all your prayers and wishes.

Unfortunately this toot, is a very sorry person.

if you realise, every question...its the same answer...

MYSELF...ME, MYSELF AND I... in this context it fits perfectly.

I have make millions with the choices i make.
I will have to help to create world peace.
I will have to less ME and more we to relief misery.
I have to believe in faith and do what's good for myself so I can help others.

I'm an idealists... well... extreme to some, but I still stand my ground with practicality.

Life lessons guided us that its isn't a bed of roses...

And nothing in this world can be worst... its can be just bad... and being bad is bad enough...

I'm grateful I have this chance to meet people as such, like this toot...

Its makes me realise, things aren't that bad... and therefore I should move upwards and change for the better at a faster pace... so I can fulfil my wishes, and hopes faster too....

Blogging with a Straight mind

2009-05-20T22:50:00.000-07:00

I've been wanting to blog for a while..well the past coupe of days... but my mind goes blank every time the compose page appears.

I have so much in this little mind of mine, but that's might be the whole reason....

I wouldn't know what's going on up there... but I do know exactly what I'm doing...

I got so much to do and so much to give, I want it to work... for myself too... its feels and seems like it.

I must make it work for me end of the day.

Its not selfish.... its just a personal grooming thing i gotta do before i con't grooming others, which is what i want to do as well.

Be patience with me, if you think that I'm a bit slower in response, as there are tons of things running thru my mind.

Don't be shock or tease me, when you see staring into space, cos there are tons of things running thru my mind.

I can do this... i'm not stress... I AM JUST WORKING HARD, and I'm ok with it...so far!

Sitting right here...
Staring back at you...

People call her Gina...or MAMA G affectionately by others...

I am not sure if you know her ?

But she is ready to know you.

Are you ready for Gina? MAMA G?

She's quite a handful... but she is GREAT...

With A Little Help From My Friends

2009-05-17T09:29:00.000-07:00

Today I attended a very good forum at the new People Association HQ!

Policy Forum by PAYM ( People Association Youth Movement )

Attended with my Pasir Ris Elias YEC team, It was a super insightful talk about the General Elections.

I definitely educated me quite a bit as a responsible citizen of Singapore, a place I proudly call my homeland.

Right after, we had a meeting regarding the coming Musical happening in Jul, 26th to be exact!

KEEP YOUR EYES GLUED here for more info!!

Its crunch time, though time is not our side, but I love the fact everyone is putting their mind and heart into it.

It just made alot of recalling of all my others projects and shows I've done.... the commitment and the team set together to MAKE THINGS HAPPEN...

Like the wise one says, whichever agenda you may come in for, end of the day, everyone is working towards one objective and making it happen...

I just recalled this song... and I thought its just great!

The lyrics are so simple and straight forward, no need much thought into it, unlike the other songs.

Being in UAN, YEC, and after quite a few years of CREATING...

I really understood the reason why I'm here...

B'cos I like to HELP... B'cos I'm taken into consideration.

B'cos I'm there for you and me.

B'cos I created. B'cos I can feel appreciated.

B'cos I want to be good.

B'cos I serve to be the best... putting my heart and soul into it.

B'cos I want to die trying...

Wanting to help more, is to better myself in many ways...

When I was 8, I was in my school's brownies...

I was an "elf" well its a group name...elves...

and our motto was..." think of others and not ourselves"

since then...and till now...That motto has been something I tried hard to do...

but you and I know. its close to impossible, b'cos

as human... we are selfish creatures, but the goodness of us wants to be good too....

Though I haven't achieve that motto yet...

but all the other aspects that have come across my life and currently...

Service...
Embrace...
Guide...
Groom...
Empower...
Enlighten...
To Serve...
Volunteer...

I will proceed and continue with whatever I and others believe in what i can do best...

With a little help from friends and me vice verse!

Eating the Humble Pie

2009-05-14T18:52:00.000-07:00

Once In a while, I'll sit down and reflect on my time...

The last week...
the last month...
months...
the last year...
years...
etc....

And this time, I reflect on times when I had to eat the humble pie....

its a familiar feeling, I'm sure you ate this pie before, maybe you are currently biting onto one.

But ain't nothing wrong to be chewing off this humble pie, its could be a wake up call, could be a time to reflect..... could be a time to test our ego as well...

If you happen to see someone eating the humble pie now, give them a helping hand. you'll never know it could be a wheel of fortune....

MAMA G

What's going on?

2009-05-12T10:48:00.000-07:00

Hey peeps!!

I'm so busy now.

really.

NYP grad event is coming soon... so my vocal training with the students there are much more intensive...

And together with YEC... busy busy .... alot to do... CRUNCH TIME!

UAN... needless to say... alot to settle and the artistes....

My hands are filled up... but I'm so into it...

stress works... well balance too lah!

Anyway... I'm certainly in a moderate ok mood so far, i got my natural disasters too...
but relatively happier...

But putting my happiness aside, I also want people around me to work well, stay happy also...

its kinda pointless when you are the only one happy and the world isn't...

it all begins with me... and i will continue to pay it forward....

cheesy... but true and something i strongly believe... the world can be a better place because of me and i want to start something good... still trying and will perseverance...

be with me...

The Glad Game... my KEY so far for 2009...

2009-05-10T23:15:00.000-07:00

"The Glad Game” is another name for a Gratitude List. “The Glad Game” helps you focus on what’s right in your world today, instead of what’s wrong. No matter what your troubles, there are still plenty of things to be grateful for: a sunny day, good food to eat, a loving family, a house to live in, a family pet to love, a handful of friends to enjoy, and much, much more.

Examples:

“I’m glad I have you as my mom."
“I’m glad the weekend is almost here."
“I’m glad I have some nice clothes to wear to school."
“I’m glad I get to watch TV when I finish my homework."
“I’m glad we have pie for dessert.”

Playing “The Glad Game” is a terrific way to change your attitude in a hurry.

We all slip into self-pity once in a while – after all, we’re only human. The important thing is to cut the pity-party short and shift into gratitude. An attitude of gratitude will get you much farther in life than complaining and self-pity. Try it and see.

The Power of Gratitude.

Dancing in the rain isn't something that most of us are born knowing how to do. We learn it. We learn it from others; we learn it from Life. The more we dance, the better we get at it. With practice, dancing in the rain becomes almost automatic. We no longer seek to run from storms...instead, we toss back our heads, throw out our arms, pick up our feet, and DANCE!

ENJOY AND BE GRATEFUL TO LIFE!

Marry me....WAITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT not now!!!

2009-05-05T12:20:00.000-07:00

When I was 4...

I was a flirt!
I wanted to marry my dad... * he was my hero *
if otherwise...I'll settle for Kermit the frog...* I love green and I'm not into looks*
And I didn't want to get married if all else fails...
and yes... I didn't like miss piggy! hahaha

When I was 5...

I was still a flirt!
My dad was my hero still ... but I understood how wrong to say I wanted to marry him!
I still love Kermit, but I love He-man, Barbie's Ken and Any prince charming in a fairy tale.
And cos' I'm too young, I'll marry at 24 yrs....or by 24 yrs...
I was a bit weird, cos... everyone I wanted to marry wasn't real....

When I was 16...
I was shy!
I had my crushes and...my dad's love is been my ideal kind of guy standard....my hero!
And I decided 24 was way too young and 28 yrs was alright...

I'm not weird... just a bit more realistic... and naive!

When I was 24 yrs...
I was ... a bit sian about Love...
And the idea of finding someone like my dad was an impossible task, so I kinda decided to find someone like my dad...at least half of who my dad is...
no crushes... but dates...
And I decided... I'll marry ...not...

I was busy with work.... and family was my game!

Now at 28 yrs...
I'm working, spending good quality time with family, managing a company. volunteering and believing in my self...
Loving my dad... cos he is still my ultimate hero...
No crushes... no drooling...NOT...
And I decided I'll marry... someday... not now though... maybe... before i'm 35yrs...

Why 35? I don't know... All I know now is, keep my market value as good as it gets!!

I love my life.. every bit, the good, bad and evil... and good again!

Life is about choices,... deal with it and GET THE JOB DONE!
Don't be a tuwit!

MAMA G

17 again... would I go back?

2009-05-04T10:27:00.000-07:00

This is crazy... I watched 17 again... well its not technically crazy watching a movie about a super cute ang moh dude who is like way younger than me...

ok...that's crazy!

Besides the fact that Zac Efron is so cute....*dreamy daze*

............

...

............

....

Oh sorry I mean, the movie, it had more depth than I expected.. or maybe its just me!

Its about this guy...in his thirties, well he's miserable ...about his life...and constantly complaining to return to his 'glory' years... 17! And seriously believe if he made better choices then, his life would be different...

Then some magical thing happen... and he's 17....

As he recover his "glory" back and reliving his life. He chances upon alot of things regarding his family etc.....

Watch the movie....

Anyway... if one to ask me would I make the choices I did before yes... and maybe no.... but one thing for sure... I've learnt from the best... that the worst has yet to come, or already came and gone...

Don't get me wrong, I don't mean that life hasn't treat me right, or am I blaming another or the higher power above for any kind of crap I might have come across... but I'm just saying... come what may... good or bad, I just have to SUCK IT UP... and SOLVE IT and GET ON WITH IT!

That's Life...a choice... and I choose to be happy.... recession? I'm happy, I can deal with it, Sick? I'm Happy, I can get over it! Met sucky people, I'm Happy, People like them gives me more credit as a person!

I want to stay this way as long as I can... cos Its making me tick...

Oh wait... did I say Zac Efron is so soooooo CUTE?????????????

ps: I must add, please do not assume my entries, or quote whatever I say or blog out of context...Don't be stupid!

This Particular blog entry is specially for some very special people... whom are very important in my life... some of you may have passed thru' my life, some, we are still trying to get to know more about each other...

There are moments when others will stay and some might just leave us... with bitter and sweet memories we shared... sometimes, its feel like we are all alone walking our paths to our goals.

I dedicate this entry to a few good people, whom aren't certain why they are a few good people, some may see them a few bad people too... whichever the case... I'm here...always...

Fields of Gold - Eva Cassidy

This Song is for a very special someone... my mentor...(you know who you are).

Both of you gave me a chance when I almost gave up in myself. A chance to believe that I can...

That's a power I've tried somewhat real hard to believe for awhile.

I chose this song because, it serenades my thoughts as your "partner"... our relationship.

Thank you for believing in me...

Count on me - Whitney Houston

This song is for Ivy and Janet.

The words of this song, cannot further our share the experience, journey, Its my pleasure and honor to walk on this path with you girls. You are my girls....

You are not just my partners, friends, we are alot more than just that... I'm so thankful I met you 2 to bring me see the better of me, and pulling me through the right path too.

I want you to count on me, I will be there...I promise.

I hope you Dance - Lee Ann Womack

This song is for my dear, Dion.

I've learn the understanding for being an elder sister. I'm still learning, thank you for allowing me to learn this experience. I'm so thankful that you are given to me as my sister. I'm blessed to have you. I hope you dance...not just literally, but through life, you are a very strong and smart girl... and yes, in my eyes... always my little girl... I'll be here...always...

Hold On -Wilson Philips

Hold On.... is for Yit Hann, Its my dedication for you. Its a tough journey to be an artiste. Its a tough journey to be a person, Its a tough journey to be facing up your weakness in your face every day, every minute, every time you want to be with them...You know you have everything in the world... your family, A few good friends... you are wealthy.

i hope to see you truly happy... when you reach your ultimatum, when you reach your goals, with lessons you will learn along the way. I know its tough, as I commonly put it, I feel the same before... I see alot of me in you, I cannot promise I'm a great Artiste Manager but I'll be the best I can be.

I can promise one thing, I'm a friend. How good of a friend, only time will tell... Through the challenges you will face... good luck! Listen to the words of the song, Its a REMINDER...

You can, if you believe and DO IT... don't wait...I want to help you to be a better person...

Thank you for being a friend, an artiste of mine... I do appreciate.

I believe in You - Celine Dion and IL Divo

This song is dedicated for Rachael, Lin Xin.

Its amazing this journey... How we met, we bonded, we parted and came together again...

Its also not a easy ride for me at least, to be asked time to time if both of you are worth my time.. Well yes...

I don't think I've failed you... but I certainly hope you won't fail me, succeed and be happy...

I believe over the odds you face, work, school, relationships, family, etc.... you will be THERE...

I still believe.

Through the Rain - Mariah Carey

This song is for you XuanWei...

I don't know much, but I know you can, and you know you can, just reach deep inside, what pushing you ahead, what angers you to go so far, what makes XuanWei today...

You will pull through... just believe...

The words I've heard in this song...is just for you.

Ai Yin Wei Zai Xin Zhong - Lee Hom's FC

Burn - Tina Arena

As cheesy most of my artistes would know, this song is dedicated specially for you...

Michael, Josephine, Wid jaja, Calvin, Jack, Joreen, Sharon, Jasmine, Gabriel, Daryl, Louise, Xin Ru, Joy, Hong Yu, Randy, Kenneth... just to name a few...

This song reflects our journey not just in UAN, for our lives...And like this song Burn .... be whatever you want to be, just make sure your flame keeps on burning...

I hope you enjoyed and share, pay it forward in life... be happy, successful and most importantly, live life with minimal regrets...

MAMA G ALWAYS...really....

I will remember you - Sarah McLachlan

This song is for Ms Louisa Gan. Suprising for some...

I am not sure what happen until today. Our paths passed... and that's it...

You've moved on with your so called "life" and moved on forsaking many others within our paths, I wonder what bitterness came between you and them...us.

Well I'm glad we had a past... good luck to life...

Don't let life passed you by, and be thankful...

like this song says..." weep not for memories" maybe you won't or have you already?

Never Forget - Take That
<

This song is dedicated for everyone... everyone in my life.... before, now... and till ever...Never forget where we came from... be thankful... and I am thankful I met you...thank you!

Love...

MAMA G

muhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa I'm so suai....a week before my BIRTHDAY!

2009-04-18T09:16:00.000-07:00

its exactly SEVEN days before my BIRTHDAY....

*sarcastic* SOOOOOOOOO HAPPENING LOR!

2 days ago, I lost my contacts... best...ONLY 1 SIDE I lose it!... because I couldn't find my spare glasses... I was half blinded and travelled all the way to get new pairs....a few pairs...

Never mind....

Then today... BEST... as I told myself yesterday I need to get a Sim card reader to backup my contacts...* my gut feel*

This morning... like lottery... I left my mobile on the cab....just as I reached National Library, to meet my vocal kids!
THE WORST....yet to make me feel worse....

I got off... 5 secs...
I realised my mobile in cab....2 seconds...
I turned... 2 seconds...Cab took off...* I suspect the driver knew i left my phone *
I rushed to into the library reception...5 seconds...

then... best... I had was told to wait in line to get an answer to my "enquiry"
Though I was next in line... i think it was pretty obvious, my face was in frantic... cos everyone else was looking at me rushing into the reception....

Finally...after good 20 secs...

The receptionist looked at me like I was some sort of a pest...* which was quite a turned off *, then listened to my unfortunate plight... and responded...
" Sorry ah, cannot.... you can use the public phone..." pointing a direction back....
" this phone only office use ah..." trust me, the respond and tone was, mind you, the most arrogant sort of way... I'M DISGUSTED.

I just went.." CRAP!", not really to her, but more off, its just my luck ....

Rushed to the phone...by then... i suppose about a good 2 -3 mins passed...

I dialed the phone... and " The M1 number you've dial is not available, please try again"

*holding back my tears*... I was so upset...

In a split of a few minutes... less than 5 I'm certain...my beloved N70 is gone...
I made a few calls... some missed my calls... I was so ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH....

Honestly, any person whom has lost their mobile, obviously knows its not the phone anymore, its more of the contacts and info inside that is the value...pictures... some special smses... of contacts that you know you don't have any other way to reach them but through your phone...

"STUFF" that money cannot buy...*SIGH....*

By then... I still to teach vocal, and I was already over an hour late... so I sort of cancelled the class... its not fair the kids... but I still continued a bit... I had to be professional about it... I'm sorry my dearies...

Thankfully I got a spare... but I hated this spare... completely an idiot and its not my kind of phone...Motorola razor? the old school one...Jialat!

Anyway.... its seven more days to my suppose to be my HAPPY BIRTHDAY.... i wonder how I'll survive... MORE CASUALTIES? OR A TURN OF EVENTS...FOR THE BETTER...

Oh yes... I got a new number along with it... please email me for my new number.... gina@uanworld.com

MAMA G... still a bit sad...

Lately... good quotes...

2009-04-01T13:40:00.000-07:00

Today after a long time, finally....

I watched a movie.... Confessions of a shopaholic...

I must say good... in fact I can related to certain details to it...

I wonder if I can see the way she shops and how she talks herself to "not buying" stuffs, I can see ME... in it... does that give some signs I'm a shopaholic?

After all... shopping is much fun...and yes... its makes me feel better...

However... there are in a way or another very good quotes and other forms of relating when I was watching...

Someone in the movie mentioned: You don't hired me to sell a product... but you hired me to create a product that sells...

I find that very true... and a matter of fact... I hope my "products" in this case my artistes are doing "selling" ... as I try creating as much as I can as their AM....

Well... some of my artistes are doing ok, some... well they need more time....

Besides this...

Another part of the movie I could related....

Someone askes: Am I an investment?

Good question... I constantly ask my artistes, do what is worth...is it worth it? are you worth it? As an artiste, you may know the industry, but are you a worthy investment for the market to invest in? Maybe you are... that's where I come in, to help find and the investors to market you, if you are not worth it...YET... then... what's your worth? where do you stand? and how worthy do you and can you be?... BE IT!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In face book, A really nice person, Joey, created an album, with the title head, My UAN friends...
with a caption,"they are really nice, jokes, friendly people."

nothing much I suppose... but I meant alot to me. It made my day ending better... this album reminded me again why I love what I do...

To embrace, guide and groom...

It was beyond, just my artistes... we are more than just that... we are F.A.B.A

For Artiste By Artistes....

Good day... *smile*

Though this week, with so much work on hand... and experienced a few letdowns from some people...

I know I am doing ok, and can do better...
I know I am working hard...
I know I am trying my best...
I know I everything that I do... I EARN EVERY CREDIT AND POWER MYSELF...

I know at least I know ....

How's was your Earth Hour? Mine was historical...

2009-03-28T09:34:00.000-07:00

How was your Earth Hour? I spend mine with Singapore 1st participation in this annual historical event.

The picnic was nice, cosy and fun, good company with my artistes and definitely good music, the song selections of the evening was mainly jazzy and inspirational, MY FAV...

The food was simple, humble and nice... just what I expected for the evening... Yummm!

I must add, the volunteers for the evening was great, friendly, helpful and yes thoughtful, they had everything planned and prepare, a cleaner seated nicely with fresh rolls of toilet paper, outside the portable restrooms, and they were alot cleaner than I expected... volunteer distributed candles for participants, and even walkabouts to help light up the candles, with safety measures mentioned, towards the end of the evening, they came around with garbage bags to help everyone to clear and avoid any littering.... perfect...

Though with constant Insane humor, I must add, I was still in a slight work mode, well rather my mind is also compiling other work related stuff... like confirming appointments, events dates, calls... ahhh... okok...I shan't not con't...

The lack of sleep is getting to me...I need that 7 hours... well ok, 6 hours...I'll head to my lovely bed now... sorry folks... gotta go... My head, body is so aching...

And yes, my dear artistes, you are still constantly in my mind...

An Article I read...

2009-03-18T10:13:00.000-07:00

I read an article today, it was a informal interview with the CEO of an Artiste Management.

It was brief and straight to the point.... the CEO made pointers that I too share about the reason behind having an artiste manager or being managed by an company.

Many actors, singers ...simply put, artistes constantly self proclaim that the industry is too small, and people in the entertainment line cannot make a living for themselves...

well that's why we (Artiste Managers) are here... cos these 'artistes' have no business sense to promote, market and package themselves...

Its so simple and straight forward... full stop! TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT!

I like that way of explaining to people... cos' its tiring to keep explaining to ignorant 'artistes', with a freelance mentality why they need a manager...

MAMA G

A call from a Overseas UAN Artiste...

2009-03-17T13:10:00.000-07:00

This evening I received a call from R, well its been a while since I got his call... well his CNY this year.

Anyway... He was an artiste with me for a while... since 2006 plus... a aspiring drummer then... and been playing for live shows, on the road around Singapore...

typically like most local bands, they split up and form new ones, and in 6mths... new band... but often the same few switches of band members...

I mentioned to him before... local bands... need to be A BAND... AS ONE...and let egos down... then they will grow...and go places...

And also, I always tell my artistes... in this line, its all about pleasing the audiences... and its the labels and managers calling the shots...cos they are the ones who market you, the artiste the product...

Now in Indonesia, he's signed to EMI Indonesia, as a band...but a couple of changes...

He's now a guitarist...
He's now playing Commercial Pop and R&B, He told me b4, ROCK is the only way to go....
He's now dancing as well.... and when I asked him to go for lessons as such, he was laughing thinking I was crazy...

And now... he tells me...HE LOVES IT...hahahahahaha

*THINKS BACK*...and he thought i was crazy...

He then said,' I never knew you were right... about everything...sorry Gina, I left Singapore without a goodbye or a closure, and whatever you said before... is so right, I'm learning all the hard way now! '

I laughed it off... and said...' cos' artistes think mainly for themselves...hahaha'

Then the conversation carried on with this question from him,
" Hey Gina, as a Artiste Manager, does EMI have to quarantine us * artistes * ? like, why does the artistes need to be hidden away until their official launch?"

He explained, he broke up with gf, and was stuck in training, in all sorts of skills, writing songs,
and they had to write 60 plus songs, to auditioned, and select 12 of the 60 to be cut into their album.... he was shocked...he thought they can just record 12 songs of their(artistes') choice... but its the manager's and label's decision...hahahaha...

Plus he said... for every song, he had to record 4 chords of a song, he took 9 days to record... recording after recording... until those 4 chords were perfect in the manager's, label's and music producer's view.

Well... I gave him my answer... and he said,' YEAH! that's what EMI said too!'

what's my answer? Only for my artistes to know, if they bother to ask....and listen.

Possibility doubting myself a few years back, if I can be a good artiste manager...

This call is just one of the few assurances that I AM MAMA G, and I'm an Artiste Manager, I can be a great one...so can my partners.... Janet and Ivy!

MAMA G

My monday...MY THOUGHTS

2009-03-16T10:33:00.000-07:00

Actually...

where do I start?

Its quite typical for me when my day has it last minutes changes...

frustrating really, but its typical, all in a day's work!

Anyway... today... has its hiccups as well as changes... but somehow... feels messy today.

However I managed the day... in a ok fashion.

When to Mediacorp to watch Campus Superstar, went with Rachael to watch...yh and Mic joined me too...

So many fans and supporters got her gifts... from letters, to food products to food for her well-being too!

Somewhat I got this feeling this week is going to be of the most few stressful weeks so far ...

Since the beginning of '09, its been so busy and stressful, but i know this week is one of the toughest I'll have to pull through, I WILL & MUST cos' I'm...

MAMA G

Sunday...not really that Sunny le...

2009-03-15T21:36:00.000-07:00

Well its was almost completely a wet Sunday, as I rise and shine, I see dark clouds as I viewed thru my window besides my all so comfy bed!

Breakfast... Newspaper.... Emails, surf for news...* yes, I did find something interesting to read about*... face book!

Made a few calls to confirm my appointments for the day... meet, cancelled, confirmed, postponed... last minutes.... hehehe... standard day!

Went for Y.E.C. Meeting... 1pm sharp!! hehehe...went thru about our Y.E.C musical!!

Hehehe Me and TY in charge of Casting... so fun! And I'm also doing the Publicity and Marketing!

Later, TY reminded me about ROMP IV@ Zouk( organised by Youth Empire and partnered with PAYM)...well tonight, I didn't planned to go, as was taken up with another appointment.

As a blessing in disguised, the original appointment was cancelled, and LC asked us to go, and she's judging... *NA NA Sisters must unite!* so might as well I go, cos VIP tixs.. means no Q!!Arranged some artistes to go.... RC wanted to go, but asked if I had any for friends... unfortunately, sad to say... I'm mama g to my artistes only, so this is only for MY People... I had to turn her down regarding her friends... anyway she chose to go with them.

So after meeting, "flew" home, settle some work on the computer, then rush to dress for the event.

Just before I left, ai yo... mini drama (I'm indirectly involved)... suddenly some artistes wanted to go.... so I have to make arrangements for the VIP tixs as it was limited or in a way all given out le...

Flew down via cab... then met up with my artistes 1st, then collected my tixs... RC was there with her friends... But they had to purchase the tics, though I heard actually verbally they were told the tickets were free.Being the typical me, MAMA G, my heart soft liao lor, see RC like that... told her to wait... pulled a few strings... *wide grin*.... managed to get her a VIP tix...and yes... her friends too, I'm not that mean afterall ok?

Anyway... entering Zouk... RC was refused due to some silly very minor reason... hmmm being her AM, I must stay outside with her for more than an hour, so made some calls, pulled some strings... and since she is wo UAN de ren, I WILL MAKE IT HAPPEN, SHE WILL ENTER THE EVENT!

And I DID!!! She was brought in with Youth Empire's Empress entrance ( GOH of the night )...

SWEET!!!...went in and joined the rest...

Perfect timing... the event just started as we reached, oh did I mentioned, Minister George Yeo is of the GOH as well?

nice dance... ermmm.... so so fashion show...no offends, just my work hazards kicks in when someone claims they are a 'talent' ...

Event ends, and I decided to leave, said my goodbyes... and sorry LC, was looking for you, but missed you, so I took off 1st with my artistes....

Cab....

Just another typical day of Mini drama... on a wet Sunday...

IMPACT CAMP

2009-03-14T12:36:00.000-07:00

Honestly, I've been so busy the past week juggling so much work, I had to squeeze like wee hours in the morning, to making sure I can and will get this camp (event) done up nice!

Last year's event was GREAT...and topping the last experience was difficult, as its was close to perfection, put in alot of effort to create a some sort like amazing race through the History of UAN last year.

This year...
Creating an idea of a challenge and E.G.G. experience for artistes was more than a day's work!

Impact Camp 2009, the experience starts from the day before the event, I mailed a letter to every participant's residence, days before... and the mail was distinctively unique, making the experience more than just a day at the beach. In the mail, they're are 'instructed' on where to meet, what to do and bring...

I want to make the participants feel different, and felt as if this was a challenge for themselves, mentally, emotionally, physically(eventually).

Upon meeting at sentosa, the participants had a 'pledge' Ceremony among themselves, pledging their honor among their team members, to stand by them throughout this journey. This is meant to educate the artistes, a sense of teamwork, and leadership among themselves.

Even the activities played were theme related... they had alot of fun...
Showered... and everyone had their chance to put on their BRAND NEW POLO SHIRT!
A nice shade of Blue, with UAN embroidered in gold....

I wore my Polo shirt with so much pride, I was immersed in it!! Seeing my artistes wearing theirs with smiles and following that, it attracted attention from the beach yuppies in sentosa...
It felt so good... just felt that...YES! I'M A UAN ARTISTE! I'M UAN!

Anyway, should any UAN artistes whom are keen to purchase the UAN Polo Tee, please email me with your contact and your sizes and # of pieces, by the way IT IS LIMITED EDITION, and going fast!
Its only available in Blue, picture is attached below.
Black and White is strictly for the UAN Management only (;

Moving on to Labrador, amazing place, simple, peaceful... and good lightning!
BBQ!!!!!!!
Super nice!!!!!!
Enjoyed good food, good fun!

I truly hope everyone enjoyed themselves! I really love what I do...

I hope the experience from the mail, to the event day, and the activities and the BBQ... made an impactful impression to everyone attended.

I've did my best... I will move up and top it off a better standard...

FEELS GOOD MOVING UP UP UP!!

Oh yes! Tomorrow got YEC meeting!!!! yes!!!!!

MAMA G

Tired.... its almost 5am

2009-03-12T13:39:00.000-07:00

I have to truly apologies my dear readers...

my eye lids are so heavy but I feel I ought to drop a note or two before i hit the sack.

Right after my trip... I've been in and out, up and down... my mobile is hardly off my ears... and sleep close to 3 to 4 am...today is the record of the week.

Ok, enough of whining! I'm not...busy is good, specially this time of the year.

And being busy, keeps me on my toes with whose, what's and where, when...not how, but what's next?

I'm so busy till coming weekend, I've got an event going on, and I'm at my brink of making it HAPPEN...PERFECT at the same time, set my other important stuff like, reports, appointments, proposals, contracts, artistes, and time management.

But... seriously, with the above said... I'm clearly happy with myself for awhile...

At least I don't feel lost or losing my focus....

I can't wait for more to come....

Am I too ambitious? Maybe? I love what I do, specially when I want perfection, drive others wild... but its PERFECTS THE RESULT.

Back from Bangkok, happy as hell...

Bought what i need, what my sister needs, for mum and dad...and a few nice gifts for others too.

The luggage was sucky... cos' it was heavy and I was worried about telling the taxi uncle where i stay, east side, he might be pissed... THINKING...

"help carry heavy luggage, and kena sai, she lives so near the airport, wasted time Q(ing) for a tourist customer..."

anyway... the ride was ok, as usual, every time i take a cab back from the airport, the taxi uncle didn't came out and help me with the luggage, though it was pouring like mad at my place, at the ground level, it was pitched dark, damn scary like a horror movie, i took a deep breath and quickly went into the 1st lift opened.

Reached home, hahaha she asked, where my things??! with that sparkle in her eyes...

like a Santa Claus, i told her to wait... as i was still outside the main door...

*fast forward* too many OH...YES! AHA! SO NICE...NOT BAD....HEHEHEHE....YES YES YES!

She was OVER THE MOON and so is mum and dad!

Showered...read the local papers that i missed out over the week...

then went online, check mail, MSN, hui shi's fc site..and other work related stuff.

it was 4am by then... sleep...

this morning... sigh, received an sms about the sad news... I'm sorry to hear.

I wish we can be there...
I wish we can do something...
I wish we can say the right things...

TAKE CARE, MY BEST PAL... WILL BE HERE IF YOU NEED JG...

In the meantime,

Budget Dialogue...

2009-02-19T10:14:00.000-08:00

Today went to a Budget Dialogue session with Minister Teo Chee Hean. It was informative and great, bumped into familiar faces as well.

Brought some artistes there, YH, XW, XR, GC, MH, it was a good event for me to observe them as a whole, the do's and don'ts in an informal yet serious event.

The event brought some attention about the economy issues happen around the world and most importantly, in Singapore, and how does youths in Singapore are coping, facing and of course to do to help with the crisis.

Crisis? Well... maybe not that bad... I suppose we should PREPARE for any un-expectations and WORK towards a better and brighter future.

There were a one guy posted a question between looking for work by passion and looking for work to sustain himself at the moment.

On my personal view and I agree with the Speakers views, that's BE OPEN. Obviously, I'm not asking anyone to just take up whatever is available, but BE REALISTIC, take two steps back and find out where and what do you have?

Also, taking up courses, is one thing, but there are more than just SKILL courses, or simply educational... Being an experienced working contributor the the society, You can still do what you love, but may not be you most ideal YET... but pursue in that direction, and eventually, with good faith and HARD WORK... you WILL MAKE IT...

That's my two cents worth. Plus...I must not forget, its more than just the paper and skill... its THE CHANGE IN ONE'S MINDSET AND WILLINGNESS...

Anyway, maybe this entry could be too heavy and serious... ANYWAY...

its 5am...my thoughts...

2009-02-16T12:30:00.000-08:00

How was my day?

It was good...

I was excited... like always, whenever Rachael's THE DAY comes by, I can't help but feeling Kan Chiong...

Anyway... by now, all would have known, Rachael didn't made it thru to the next round of Campus Superstar...

She will be in the Revivals... But unfortunately, I can't be present...*tear*

On the 10th Feb, Tuesday, with news heard about Rachael competing on the 16th Feb, shocked and concerned, would she had the time, I mean she did just competed just yesterday...

Following that, its was with Ridzwan, Benita, Rachel Lim.

Immediately hit me, Oh my, battle of VOTES...

I doubt anyone really realized it, or see how intense this round would be, as everyone would be fighting for their place on the 16th...chances are tough but workable still if all stick together and Rachael stays focus and grounded.

Specially for Rachael's supporters, somewhat we did let our guard down...I won't deny that.

Rachael's score from the judges, was the lowest, personally, I don't think she did that bad, considering the fact, she was the 1st contestant and had to do a MIRACLE change between 1 commercial segment, I can see she rushed out for her performance by the time her name was announced to perform... I saw the RUSH-IN performance... not stage-ready prepared... it caused her some points. Undoubtedly, the judges didn't took the Quick change into any consideration. I don't blame them...its a competition its a performance after all....

Besides, if its not Rachael being the 1st contestant in this episode, someone else would...

Terrence from OKTO 'LIVE' came to support Rachael too! Thanks Terrence! Terrence is too a UAN Artiste.

Whichever the case, We have got no one to blame but ourselves ...FOR NOW.

I don't dawn into people, to think negative or sink into self pity...or kick up any excuse... I personally feel, THERE'S STILL HOPE... REVIVAL ROUND...

After the show, a journalist from xin.sg, came by and did a interview for Rachael, and asked me for my thoughts, there was one particular question that shocked me, How much did you guys spend on votes? so is money an issue?

Not shocked by the question, but shocked to know some may compare the support for Rachael with money...

My answer...
Money?... weighting the terms of money and Rachael... I and the rest of the supporters don't think its fair to weight money with Rachael, because I want to support with my heart, because we love her... I won't give up, unless she gives up...

Right now, Rachael hasn't... why should I? I know her potential...

Just before the results show...I rallied everyone, gave them chocolates I bought, thinking the supporters did well in their cheer, brought water... then Rachael came out, coming towards me, and handed me a bouquet with a card...*crying*...I opened the card, it says simply, " Rachael loves you" with a huge red heart all hand-made...

I was surprised, and touched...I don't know what to say...THANK YOU for being you my dear.

I personally love PEACE... and I appreciate and applaud Ridzman's supporters for their generous support for Rachael too.

During the results... I suppose everyone was ready to rumble... though somewhere at the back of our heads know Rachael could be out, we still cheered all the way...

I was closed to tears, when I see and hear Rachael singing An Jing, against Rachel Lim, whom ironically got the highest judging score...

My tears just came when Rachael was announced out... I cannot help it...I was disappointed, not with Rachael, but with US...WE...

But lifting our heads high, WE can do it again...here, then, now, forever...

Many came to me, sms(ed) me, "Are you ok?"

"I'm fine."
Right now, at home, I feel very sad and happy because, memories of Rachael 1st started with me....and a young shy 14 year old girl, loves to sing, all so innocent, and growing and becoming a young, pretty, lady... I hope I'm there...I'm so proud of you...

With these said, Mama G loves all her dearest...

I will walk hand in hand with you Rachael... would you?

MAMA G

A fever.. but I must continue...

2009-02-15T09:47:00.000-08:00

I woke up with a headache and a fever...

I guess I spoke too fast... I'm officially not too well...

But I have to continue ...

Had to go for YEC meeting, was there for like 3 hours plus? But the meeting was good, many exciting plans and action for the year ahead.

Right after, went to meet M at Cenileisure, had breakfast/lunch/dinner there...while waiting for Rachael and Dorothy to come, planned to go for K...

It was quite a while since i had a Leisure K-time... Its ok, was telling Rachael how crucial tomorrow's show is, Campus Superstar. And the competition is difficult in a whole different way as well...

But whatever it is, she has my blessings and I will support and help her in whichever way she needs.

After all I'm her MAMA G, and MAMA G for many others...

ok, heading to bed now, so I can be in tip-top shape tomorrow to give my all at Mediacorp for Rachael!

Most willing to be your,
MAMA G

How's V day? More Single-OUT than couples I see

2009-02-14T10:26:00.000-08:00

It is V day isn' it?

I did seen a few couples ... but the town and malls were definitely dominated by groupies... I meant friends in groups!!!

My artistes and myself classified soloists today as SINGLE-OUT!

No offends, I'm personally a "SINGLE-OUT" myself hahahaha...
Anyway... my day started with vocal training of course, hmm... some of these students surprised me, shocked and continuous improvements i guess...

We end the class leaving me, totally SINGLE-OUT with YH, awaiting for Ms IH to arrive to meet us at Marina Sq... we chat, met, and discuss... I'm all so excited... I think It was pretty obvious, I was very excited over Rachael, you know? Hui Shi in Campus Superstar? That's right, I've been so KAN CHIONG over the last month...

I guess it my 'LAO MAO BING' My tendency to be MAMA... when it comes to artistes, and my BELIEVE in them...

Besides that, Ms XW, made reservations for 8 people. with the rest of the SINGLE-OUT gang... at Settlers' Cafe... I'm 1st time wor!!... so nice... not bad food, not bad location.... fun fun...

We were so loud!!!! but its all well I guess, we were allowed to... and we were so crazy over the table and board games.... I enjoyed today!

Tomorrow got YEC meeting to go for.... and meeting Rachael for K... nice!

In the meantime....

MAMA G

Go wild with my day!.... Anticipation for the better tomorrow!

2009-02-12T07:48:00.000-08:00

My day kicked off with a wild roller coaster ride, working on so many projects and castings for some clients. Been sitting down in front of my lappy, looking at so so so so so many new faces for casting calls... and drafting up plans and events....ahhhhhh.... I SURVIVED!!!

But business is business, health is health... I gotta drink more water... feeling heaty... I can't be sick anytime soon... not feeling well creates a negative chain reaction for others....

PERSONAL, SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY!! *WINK*

Tomorrow...
hehehe.... Crescent Girls Secondary School invited UAN to attend and judge for their annual Crez Awards. This year I'm attending it with a couple of my artistes!

Can't wait! I love attending events, big or small... they're always fun, love meeting different people and some familiar faces!

Crez Awards is a annual Talent time of Dance, Vocals and Hosting competition among the students of Crescent Girls Sec. School.

I'll update more, tomorrow night!!

Oh yes! I can't wait for Sat... Valentine's day.... meeting my artistes for a "SINGLE OUT" Dinner party!!!! I miss seeing some of them....

For now...
MAMA G (:

A day of joy and work...

2009-02-10T08:47:00.000-08:00

Yesterday was great....

Rachael made it thru another round in Campus Superstar...Now she's in TOP 8...

I'll be there as always....

Today... tired... too much PC staring and calls....hahaha....
