Recording in Beijing
It was two days ago when I went for lunch with Aik Khai, Darrel, Shan, DeXin and Jun Yi where a girl sms’ed Aik Khai and asked him if he knew any girls that can sing english. And Aik Khai asked me immediately. Since, I had nothing better to do anyway, I of course, said yes "I do" to the offer, regardless the price lar. I just needed something to do.
So after a few arrangements, we settled that the recording was to be on 2pm today at their studio located in Jie Fang Jun Yi Shu Xue Yuan, Zhong Guan Cun. I took a cab there and reached around 1:30pm, but when I succeeded locating the studio’s EXACT location, it was 2:00pm sharp.
I greeted the studio mixers, and they asked me to wait for the composer. I didn’t know exactly what to sing. All I knew that it was in English…. and they want me to sing American-ish. Not hard… I already sound American-ish without trying. Lolx. Around 2:15pm, the composer arrived. His name is He Tian (Something), I dun remember… I think it’s He Tian Fa… And he’s some head of the chinese army perforamance and art team or something (Something big)… He showed me the score and my jaw dropped.
Nope, it’s not hard. It’s pretty easy, and I sang it with one look. Like DUH. My standard… HOHOHOHO. Gee… perasan. Why did my jaw drop???? Because… here’s the starting of what I have to sing:
Hello… Los Angelos, L.A.!
We are Fu Wa of Beijing Olympic!
Bei bei, jing jing, huan huan, ying ying and Ni Ni!
My mind went NUTS reading it… you mean, I’m RECORDING FOR THE BEIJING OLYMPICS 2008 REPRESENTING THE FIVE LITTLE MASCOT???? OH MY GOD! HOLLY CRAP! I nearly died of heart attack! I’m SINGING for the OLYMPICS! WUAHLAO~~~ WAKAO~~ WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
After they heard me sing once through cin-cai-ly, they said: "Ha! Great voice you have there! How long are you going to be in Beijing?" And I told them five years, then they said… next time if they need people to sing in English, they’ll call me up. WAHHHH~~ HOW NICE!
Then the recording process was kinda long (8 hours)… turned out that I will be heard in three of the largest cities in USA: New York, Los Angelos and Washington D.C. WAHAHAHA. Another great shiny mark on my resume… Eeesh, perasanNya~ Lolx. Cannot ah? People tengah HIGH sini. Lolx.
OoooHOHOHOHOHOHO.
MY VOICE IS GOING TO BE BROADCAST IN NYC, WDC & LA!
