mei chern's CD

She's a singer-songwriter. She plays her guitar beautifully.

I get to know only last week that Mei Chern released her 7-song CD (and that happened last year). I have with me a copy of her homemade CD featuring 3 songs in July 2007. Got it when I went to KL Sing Song at KLPac. I have always liked those 3 songs, her guitar playing and her singing voice.

Immediately I sent an email to her asking if she could send me a copy of her CD. After exchanging a few emails, with the magical money transfer through Maybank2u, she sent me the CD. I received it on Wednesday via Poslaju, with personalised autograph on the CD cover with my name on it.
Cool!

I'm writing this while listening to her songs. I'd say it's suitable for a lazy Sunday morning at home, and for a carefree drive along a quiet country road.

However, this one song from her homemade CD is still my favourite so far - Feels Like Falling.

Summer Meadow Revisited

I went to Senawang over the recent Chinese New Year holidays to spend some time with my parents, and celebrate Ayah's birthday too. Ayah proudly showed me his completed Masjidil Haram cross-stitch work. and, he asked me about the progress of my xs piece.

It has been a very, very long time since I started my ambitious xs mega project - Summer Meadow. It was supposed to be finished by the time we move to Seri Alam, and hung on one of
the walls as a memento.

Since June 2007, now it is already more than one and a half year! Still a work-in-progress.
Been busying myself with my other hobby-turned-obsession, and this one hobby been neglected to a lower tier. Albeit, recently I did spend a little time on weekends over in Senawang. Make that 4 hours over the last 2 months
:D

No latest photo of my progress, but here's one.

Photo taken on 3rd October 2007.
Hahahaa... a major neglect.

I can pretty much say that it is quite close to what it is right now (read: little progress).

As for the memento, well, there'll always be other occasions in the future that can suit the finish date of this project. Hopefully not for my retirement.
