Without passion, life is nothing!


Is it wrong to continue singing as a passion? Is it wrong for a singer to have another full-time job and keep singing as a passion? Is it wrong for a singer to have girlfriend/boyfriend? Many people says this is not workable as singer need to focus in order to get his fame, but to me, we have to be realistic that the industry and everybody is changing daily. 

In today world, nobody can get his/her fame overnight or with a couple of good songs, this is no longer and will never happen in Asia, unless that person is super super lucky and fortunate. As for girlfriend/boyfriend relationship, so long the artiste know how to handle it well, it is nothing wrong actually, just that some artistes are too CHEE HONG until no women or men, he/she will died immediately. 

As for me, I just hope to continue doing good music, even one song per year for one artiste, is also good for me, as this can keep my passion on-going as a songwriter. Well, I m not a musically trained person, I know nuts about entertainment when I first started my company. I fall several times just to understand what is entertainment industry and how can I build a better company and artiste etc. Until today, I still understand one simple theory is that nobody will keep his/her passion on-going even he/she give you 1000 promises, as promise can be empty as well. 

I m simple, just keep recording and discovering new talents, as one day I will find a gem and shock everyone? Haha. This is my dream, a dream to keep my passion on-going, so just have to continue dreaming. For those that want to be artiste manager, my advise is that it is not as simple as you think, as you need to know many things, such as marketing, grooming, planning, PR communication, sourcing sponsorship and creating opportunities for your artiste.

It is not easy to get good and hardworking artistes, as many will just come to try, when they fail, either they say sorry to you or they FUCK you from behind, which is so normal in this industry. Nobody will appreciate how much you had done for them, how much investment of money and time you had lost etc. But just do it, since this is my passion. We cant stop people from badmouthing, cant stop people from scolding you, so just do it until they shut up one day. 

This year, hopefully I can have one new song under the company, regardless who is the person that record it. We must keep moving, and keep growing, this is the way to survive in this cold industry. Anyway I had made a mistake 10 years back for stepping into this industry, but if you want me to stop, I believe many people will stop if they encounter and going through what I had gone through, but I will not stop for no reason, as life move on, we must move on to solve all the problem that can arise during the way. 

This is my principle of work and life. Nobody can control what I want to do, even haters also cant do that to me, as this passion had already grown the roots inside me! Without passion, life is nothing!

Why Opposition Parties suffered a big losses in this GE 2015


GE 2015 is finally over and congrats to PAP for forming the new government with a good results despite all the GRCs and SMCs been challenge by the opposition parties. There are many reasons for causing the failure of the opposition parties, including The Workers' Party, and let me share with you my points and thoughts down here. 

Not Ready For GE 2015
Many opposition parties didn't really do their groundwork after GE 2011, they are too confident and thought that many Singaporeans will oppose and disagree with what the PAP had done for the past four years. In fact they are wrong, totally wrong, as they never walk the ground, never really understand the residents at all. What have they done for the residents as compare to the ruling parties?

Last Minute "Candidates"
You can see that many opposition parties going around grabbing for candidates very last minute just to hope their party can contest in this GE 2015, but they forgotten to consider their "candidates" credibility and background before putting them to form a team to contest. Moreover many residents never see them before and how you expect them to vote for your team?

Too Many Social Media Angers
There are too many angry messages on the Facebook by the various opposition candidates, too many opposition supporters creating noises, and you might forget that nowadays Singaporeans are much more educated and they do not want to see Singapore having riots and unnecessary rallies etc. 

Opposition Unity
This is a very wrong move that every opposition party claiming they want democracy in Singapore and transparency in the government system, but end up they are fighting over territory during their two meetings, ended up some of the opposition parties starting to fight even before the GE 2015. How will Singaporeans look at the ten opposition parties?

Vote For Change
Worst still, after the horse-trading meeting fails, five of the opposition parties stand together and come out with a new program "Vote For Change", which is a joke and stupid thing to do. What have they done for this new program? Or this is just another "event" to gain media publicity? 

Opposition Veteran Effect 
Some of the opposition veterans had retired, but in order to win this GE 2015, even when the veterans are sick or too old, some of the opposition party doesnt care at all, they still push them around, or bring them on stage. Do you think Singaporeans will vote because he/she is a veteran and give her sympathy vote? 

Lack Of Resource
Many opposition parties claim that they do not have the resource to conduct the groundwork. But how come they have the money for deposit to participate as a candidate and how come they have so much money to print promotional materials and set-up stage rallies? If the public is willing to support them, why don't they use the money to do more groundwork for the past four years?

The Workers' Party
Why this round The Workers' Party suffered a big losses? One of the reason is because the opposition parties slap them for being proud and tyrant. The other reason is due to their Town Council account still not very clear. Lastly they didn't really do a good job in serving their residents.  

Well, nevertheless everything had ended and if the opposition parties really have the heart to serve the residents and to assist the current government to improve their policy or to come out with new ideas to improve Singapore, you should start from today.
