Applying for MAD (Market and Audience Development ) Grant in Singapore

 I'm applying for a Market and Audience grant through the National Arts Council. 

Really crossing my fingers that I can get some funding through this. 

I've been working a lot on my Music and trying to spread the word out there on my compositions.

Any money would helpful.

I was watching Tiktok and seeing how this guy blessed random people with money.

In some ways, I would love to share my songs as if it was money. 

Every listener is a blessing to me.

God is so wonderful. 

I thank God for every opportunity he gives me.

I believe that Music will be a hit once Technology advances more.

I was watching a youtube video of how the top charts are always the same few type of songs and it is not inspiring.

I believe that God inspired me with these melodies and so, wishes for anyone to listen to it.

Thank you!

Thank you God once again

I realised something today

God blesses his people. 

I may not have the nicest fanciest house or a large figure in my bank account

But I have God with me

That itself is so precious like diamond that no one can have it unless God permits

While people are using money to get access to certain places, God uses me to get into rare settings only for me to realise that I was where I was meant to be.

Spending wisely

 Lately, I've been spending most of my money on promoting my Music.

Before I decide to spend on things that I love to indulge in like clothing. I think to myself, this $$ can be used to reach more audience and 1 listener who is in the right industry can literally change my life.

I know it sounds like a lucky draw but I believe this was how my music got into 10 seconds radio airplay.

God has been telling me to spend my money wisely on things and till I make it than I can spend on dumb shit.

In the meantime, I will just enjoy the simplicities of what my surroundings has to offer. 

Simple things like my bed, my room, my surroundings, the air that I breathe and cool weathers right now.

Updates of the fasting life

 I've been staying a lot more at home, spending less money and more time on my own. 

You know my dreams are so big that I'm good to delay gratification.

I've been earning cents and dollars from my Music but it really gives me a sense of achievement.

The money came from Music itself and that to me is fascinating.

I've been living with less money and to be honest, its not enough to really enjoy life ( you know what I mean)

In some ways, this period of my life is like fasting to me (except that it is not foodwise)

Something in which I felt I'm really lacking is new clothes. I used to love buying clothes so much as I really love Fashion

I've been just re-wearing all my clothes and it is getting a little boring. :(

I know I sound kinda like a spoilt brat 

Please bare with me :X

Elevator down to 62 levels

 I had a scary dream last night.

I dreamt that I took the wrong elevator and the elevator only had one way, which is down. It was going 62 levels below ground, as if I was entering hell. 

When it was travelling down, I had a sense of fear of what will happen when the elevator door opens. I was afraid that some scary spirits might enter the elevator. 

As the door opened, I remember feeling a rush of hot air and it was a very unbearable hotness. As the door was opened, I remembered praying the our father prayer a few times. 

After that, the story of the dream ended.

It's really scary. I probably had the dream too coz its 7 month now and its hungry ghost period in Singapore.

Life has changed quite alot

 Life is short

I think most youths spend most of their beautiful looking time with humans, which is great

Its like a time when they are most appreciated as they have looks, beauty...

I on the other hand, feel like I need to spend more time with myself right now.

I've always wondered what I've always been seeking

I then realised I seek the scripture of life.

With things back in a norm right now and technology encouraging people to party and have fun, I used to think that I'm losing out all the fun.

Now that I'm kinda like wiser, those fun in the clubs are empty ways of appreciation from the other party.

It could just be my perspective.

I also used to think that if I don't go out and have my kind of fun, I'm losing out in life.

Now, all I wanna go is just spend time with my bed and have more time resting.

I still love going out but in a way that is God's way.

Job vs Freelance

 The world judges people based on their social status

I've been working right now in the customer service line. I know being a teacher demands a level of respect compared to a customer service job.

But this got me thinking about the right vehicle to get more riches

People pay so much for music lessons and  I was just thinking to myself, A Musician's life is not an easy life so most people who learn music don't end up doing Music as their 'Career' 

Yet Teaching Music can earn you good money but you have to work like a Bumble bee.

I was doing freelance for 4 years and I'm even surprised that I went through 4 years of kind like my own 'business'

The Title of the job has become so Judged upon. A teacher might earn about the same income as someone who perhaps does engineering but Teaching Music I felt requires alot more attention to the profession and a lot of passion. 

I know the title of a job strikes the ego and makes a person feel more 'Mighty' but I hope that one day, every individual wouldn't need to rely on titles to make a human feel more needed in society. 

Anyways, just my take on the two different worlds of a full time job and a freelance job.

Me when I was super young

This was me when I was super young. I chose the cuter pic of me. :)

From a very young age, I already knew that the devil was against me. 

I knew the world was a cold one.

I was a quiet girl but I knew there was a conspiracy 

A Conspiracy between the evil and good

I wonder where all my cuteness went to

The devil took it away

As years pass by, God is slowly revealing my real self

He hide me to protect me

My body reacted to the surrounding, like a defensive mechanism

He hide me so well but the devil knew

God always went before me

No one can win God

The devil is slowly fleeing away

I thank God that the nightmare has lessen

The future will be a better one

As I grow older, I know that a lot was taken from me

But God reigns and he always will

Real Gems in my life

I thank God for the love he has for me. 

This song was sung by the Corrs. 

I have this student of mine who has been with me since I was in a preschool. 

She actually started out by asking for my name card, not once but three times. 

It was during the time when I decided to leave the Preschool scene to do free-lance Piano teaching.

I'll be taking some time off from her. 

You know, most people just see people as people. The Godly ones are able to tell who is a real gem

She is a princess, a true gem to me. I'm really grateful. I had tough times and she was the light/comfort from God during my dark days. 

I have recommended another Piano teacher to her and I wish her all the best. In terms of friendship in my life, I had lots of ups and downs. Most of my friends come and go.

But God has blessed me with wonderful students. They are the real gems from God.

Anastasia- At The Beginning By Richard Marx and Donna Lewis

This movie really speaks to me...God is an Awesome God because he depicts our life in cartoon movies.

God is amazing. 

He speaks to us in a way we are most comfortable with.

I remembered I went for a Church Camp long time ago. 

We were suppose to be receiving the Gift of Tongues.

Some of us got it. I didn't get anything and I knew why. God knows I'm fearful of it.

God usually speaks to us in the least expected way. 

I love his whispers in life.

Cut my Teeth- not literally

 I've been focusing on thinking on how to increase my $$ for the future that I have neglected many things such as my social life, my teeth even, my love life and my happiness.

Once $$ is plenty, I will make sure I allocate sections of money for my well-being. I never thought of how important well being is till my dentist emphasised the importance of my teeth today.

It really takes $$ to take care of one human. God has to take care of every human on Earth. I'm sure he needs infinity of money to take care of us. 

I pray that he would provide more for his children.

Holy Water NFT

 I believe that the church is like this NFT, rare and only one in the huge land of Water. I believe that this NFT will be valuable when the church one day becomes close to being extinct ( I hope not). This is when the world evolves and Technology becomes the new way of Religion.

James bond girl everywhere now

 Haha, I used to muse over the Bond girl and how nice it is to be a muse right.

I felt like right now, every girl wants to be chio and pretty like bond girl on james bond that style is getting boring to me. 

What about you? How do you feel about it.

It's like everyone is a duplicate of each other. I don't know whether its a win win situation for woman or its a cat fight haha.

Thankfully, I have always been a rebel in my thoughts and sticked with my own style.

It may not be the most glamorous look or princess elsa look haha, but it is definitely my own personality.

I mean, there's nothing in fashion that is unique anymore and everyone knows how to dress up. 

Do you know what is a game changer? If we could bring four seasons to Sg, everything will change. 

How I wish I could be a snowgirl forever.

The Future for my Music Fans

 In the coming years when NFT becomes a norm in our society. I'm planning to give up 50% of my publishing royalties to 3000 fans all over the world. 

50% of my whole catalogue of songs. This includes 130+ songs of publishing royalties hee

This will give the 3000 fans a stake in my Music royalties. :) 

Look out for information here when the time comes. 

The reason why I'm giving up so much percentage of my royalties is because I love to share and for those who believed in my music, I think its only right to share whatever earnings with the people who is a fan of My music. 

As for this year, I'll be focusing on Tiktok and doing more marketing in my online presence. 

My plan is to use that money for Music and invest it in new experiences, a home and new environments.

Heaven is fun

 The future of luxury will not be prim and proper people who goes into Raffles hotel or the best hotels in the world. I think it will be a world of color. The world will be full of vibrancy with what the future has to offer. 

With nfts and new technology coming up, I see a wave of fun entering into the world where Music and art becomes the new currency. 

Right now, Music and Art are known to be of a lower priority,  especially in Singapore where we we are a financial hub. What I love about Singapore is that our infrastructure is world class. Like Jewel, Orchard road and Marina bay Sands,  it brings so much Wealth into Singapore's lives that sometimes I felt like we Singaporeans should be super grateful for. 

I believe that the word fun has just got new meaning. Heaven on Earth will be given to people who went through the tough times of what life put us through. 

I believe that God shows heaven to people who face their fears and who gets the worst torture from his or her fears.

I thank God for every moment he reveals to me. The secret to the royal world is the script God created for our lives.

Thank you for a new life

God is showing me a shift in my life right now. 

I thank God for this. He is giving me a new perspective of life everyday. 

I'm pitching my Music right now to many different places and am pleasantly surprised that some of them approved my Music through submithub. 

So far, a few songs will be on Spotify playlist. Two songs, 'Sweet Memories' and 'Dancing princess' will also be featured on radio and I'm totally excited about it. :)

I've recently had a new job. The environment change totally suits me. There's aircon and I don't need to travel islandwide to teach my students everyday. 

I'm beginning to see wealth in everything that I can embrace. 

God has been taking good care of me and I think he has finally gave me the golden keys to his perspective. :)

A Musician's life

 I've been thinking about a Musician's life and what it means to be a musician. 

It is defined to me as the ability to give hope to an audience and to create a moment of connection with a feeling/memory or a thought. 

Most musicians use their talents to perform and impact a crowd. Therefore, a musician's life is like a hero giving people a sense of life at that moment. 

The thing about being a Musician is that not everyone knows your worth and not everyone knows how to convert that music into $$. 

For the past 4 years, I've been building this empire of my own and deep inside me, I wish that some $$ could be churned through it. 

I guess it's a human survival instinct to want something back from sharing something to the world. 

It really got me thinking about my own personality

I like to impart knowledge to people and I've beginning to see the fruits of my labour in my surroundings. I give and in return put that $ into my music, hoping that one day, I can share my Music and that someone will understand my Music.

This got me thinking that a lot too. I like to be understood and Music is my way to let people understand my world. 

I realised that that is the only form of language that made Emilie. I'm not good at conversing and don't have much to offer compared to the smart intelligent people of the human race. 

Perhaps, my mission in life is for people to feel understood and to be able to feel something in this monotonous life of ours where some have already slept in life.

Changing Strategies

 I used to put so much focus on my Music, hoping that something will go viral. Then I was thinking to myself, this will only get me disappointed. I should treat my music more like a way to share and not a way for gains. 

So now, I'm changing strategies and am going back to trying to save money. 

Its still something I'm happy to have, my compositions but I'm going to focus on other things right now in the meantime. 

There's so many things I like to work towards to like a house in the future. I think that will be my next muse. :)

七夕 The Seventh Night of July

This song brought back fond memories during my days in IJ days. I used to see so much romance in these songs.

It brought hope in life and to every young person on earth, it matters more than gold.

I wish that for you too.

Thank you Note!

 Its amazing that my Spotify streams have increased quite abit. 

I'm thankful for all the listeners who listened to my songs.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart. 

If you wish to journey with me in my life, You can always give a follow on spotify  :)

My journey is usually expressed in my song compositions. Thats my best way of communicating to people. 

I'm actually a girl of few words. I don't talk much ...

Though I'm currently not really making much $$ from my music, I' really grateful to be connected with people through Music and I'm thankful for that. 

Below is a picture that describes me. Food and me. haha!

Its a dish called Chee Cheong fan.  Yum!

Thoughts of Fashion

 Expression in this era is considered Fashion

We pay $ to express ourselves

In future, everyone will be high end. The ability to express ourselves could be the next big thing

In future when the world is a place of expression, I could be 40+ by then. 

I'm already 33 and turning 34 end of this year. 

However, I'm thankful that God still gave me a chance to live everyday through small ways of expression.

Everyone in this world has not lived their fullest at all. 

Perhaps humans are meant to play only

Its CNY today

This year in 2022, I hope to get my finance in the right direction. 

Only when I'm more settled in my finance, I will then start to think of other things.

I believe that finance is the key to being the best version of yourself. 

I'm 34 this year. I know it is not a very young age for certain people and most people are already settled in their personal lives and career. 

I'm thankful that I have a chance to live and sometimes, there are distractions and obstacles. What matters is that God is with me. 

Cheers and Happy CNY to all.

$$$

 I think that God is steering me towards being less greedy with food. Social media was one reason I wanted to be more flamboyant. But God is telling me otherwise. 

I always thought that money should be used for enjoying. But now that I started out with little, I felt the need put the $ back to my music. 

I'll keep on doing this. I think God is telling me that I should live like that forever, even when I have more $ with me. 

Once the feeling of security sits in, that is when humans including myself get tempted to live like royalty 

Money though just paper sometimes really make me think about how I look at life. 

Please continue to guide me my king.
