I just went for the Singapore Entertainment Awards yesterday night, and it was a blast! Not that much of a typical awards show, but more of inviting the winners to come perform. Thanks to Charlene (and her roy) for the tickets! I'm so glad I went. It was such a great feeling to forget all about school and applying for jobs and to just sit back and enjoy great music. Kinda made me want to stand on stage. lol. I always have these urges from time to time.

I was also quite impressed by all the local artistes who performed. I mean, I know their names and their works, but its so rare to get to see so many of them, mainstream or not, join forces and perform together on the same stage. Imagine: Budak Pantai and Stef Sun, Joi Chua and JJ Lin with Ong Kheng Long (very famous in the music scene for being one of the best keyboardists), Kaira Gong and the AMPs! Very rare pairings, but they presented really good performances. There is hope for the local music industry yet. :D

Suddenly there are lots of cds i want to buy, because they impressed me so. I'm gonna write a list just to remind myself:
1. Derrick Hoh
2. Cheer Chen
3. Taiwanese newcomer called Zuo Guang Ping
4. Olivia Ong
5. AMPs if Jim Lim sings lol.
