everyday is a new day
“…all I’ve learned
Is just how brilliantly I fail”
— Billie’s Bones, Janis Ian
These words struck me hard. I might have misinterpreted it, or chosen to see what I wanted to see. But they struck me.
Once an album is out, it will take on a life of its own. The release day is like an ending of a dream, I wake up from it and get on with real life. Well in my case it’s a bit ambiguous, coz I move on to another project – dream. This dreaming cycle has been going on for years.
The thing is, I know it’s real. It feels so real that it hurts. I can tell I’ve been always on the ground, as I could only see the flaws in everything I have done. Only the flaws. Sometimes even one tiny little flaw could ruin the whole thing. I might be proud of something, but after a while I would just start to see it otherwise. Not good enough. Never a good enough singer, songwriter, producer, son, friend, boyfriend, student, boss…
Maybe that’s why I have been doing waves of projects nonstop. I kept on hoping that next time everything would be perfect, and that’s the only way that I could overcome the flaws. Just that the more I got into, the more flaws I created.
When one has learnt how to embrace the flaws, he could master the art of living. Apparently I am not. I sincerely hope you can, though.
Now things to look forward to:
陳奐仁Hanjin「Raw Jazz Live」
I wanted to call this event “The Hangenius Show”. He’s music, he’s talent, he’s everything without boundaries. How I want to be a jazz musician, how Hanjin reminds me what a real artist is just by singing and playing, how proud I am to be able to present his first concert in Hong Kong.
潘迪華《MY DREAM MY WAY MY INDIE MUSIC live》

who would ever believe she's 79 already?!?1
Everything Aunt Poon does is an inspiration. Now, we indie kids will come together to interpret her standards from 60’s to today, just for one night. On the other hand, I am so privileged to sing the only duet with the legend in the coming tribute album. I assure you I will be bragging about this in the coming ten years. At least.
一峰二汶好天氣演唱會 Chet Lam x Eman Lam in Concert

finally, here's the proof: REAL bro and sis ya'll!
You guys saw this coming years ago right? We have been getting so much good response; your positive feedbacks have guaranteed a good show already. We so look forward to this event, especially 2009 is our parents’ the 35th anniversary, let’s turn it into a celebration.
First we take Hong Kong Coliseum. Then who knows? <grin>
That’s it for now.
Cheers,
Chet
