Finally! I got some free time to do a short blog and a quick update today...
Well, the school holiday is always the busiest time for me as a work-at-home mum. The kids keep me occupied all day, I rarely have much time to do my own stuff and it's madness some days, but I still love my 2 sweethearts very much! Oh yes, I had a wonderful birthday celebration with family and friends last week.
So, for the past few weeks...I have been busy writing a song for my kids for SG:SW2019 我写我的歌, it's a Song Writing Contest in Singapore. I think music is another great way to express yourself besides blogging. However, songwriting is much time consuming, especially while recording a demo, singing and playing with an instrument...but the whole process is fun and very rewarding! Thankfully, I managed to submit my song demo & full lyrics before the closing date! 😅
I am not Jay Chou (周杰伦) or David Tao (陶喆). I admire their great musical talents and I love many of their songs too...Personally, I think it doesn't matter who you are, as long as you have a passion for music and love to write songs, just go ahead and make your own music!
A good song to me is something that touches the heart and soul, it makes you feel connected to the lyrics and inspired you...and that song would stay in your head for a very long time!
For me, joining a contest is not always about winning. Of course, it would be a bonus and a great achievement if you do win, but the true beauty of writing a song is expressing what you feel for the people you love and when my son told me he loves the song that I wrote for him and his little sister...Wow! That is pure happiness, a sense of accomplishment and that's all it matters to me! 😍
Music is a big part of my life! Yeah, I could talk about music all day... Basically, I need music every day! I even put on my wireless headphones while doing the housework and cooking etc, I guess it makes the daily house chores less boring..haha!
I love soft rock, hip-hop, R&B, New Age and Pop music. I listen to many different songs that connect my emotions and situations that I could relate to. It could be anything from classic to the latest hits.
Nuff said! Here are my current favorite playlists :
