yay! video of myself doing a cover of an old favorite: Close To You by The Carpenters, during Monday night’s gig! best heard with your earphones plugged in. YZ recorded this vid for me (check out the artistically out of focus effect even though it was not done on purpose haha) and i thought it was one of the nicer songs i did during Monday’s gig. anyway, good thing the video is out of focus, lol sitting down while singing does a lot of bad things to me, I KEEP ON TAPPING MY FINGERS AND SHAKING MY LEGS IN RHYTHM wtf bad habit!

Close To You – The Carpenters
Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
Why do stars fall down from the sky
Every time you walk by?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
On the day that you were born the angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair
Of golden starlight in your eyes of blue
That is why all the girls in town
Follow you
All around
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
(Why? Close to you)
(Why? Close to you)
(Haa, close to you)
(Why? Close to you)

so yea, i was asked to sub for a gig at China One on Monday thanks to Kewei for the recommendation, and got to sing with the fantastic Clarence (guitarist) and Shawn (percussionist), they were so good! love Clarence’s jazzy laid-back guitar playing and the cajon drum that Shawn was playing is super cool!
the place was pretty quiet on a Monday, but nevertheless i really enjoyed myself and it’s more stage experience for me (+100 exp points = level up woohoo!) and my lovely friends came down to support and liven up the atmosphere a little, we went out for awesome supper at Spize (River Valley) after it ended! LOVE Spize. the food there is mad sinful but super super yummy!
thank you Fish, Woon, Hil and Shen Een! MUAHS.
and my ever supportive boyfriend whom i sabo-ed to go on stage to sing one last song :X oops. didn’t go that well.. haha. luckily got no audience liao :S
had such a great night, thank you loves!!!
