Sayang Kinabalu - Nenad Zrnic

This is nenad and I thought him how to sing "Sayang Kinabalu". He impressed me quite a lot, not only for his singing but every effort he makes to learn this song for me ... :) which is sooooo sweet .... he is actually so shy , but because of me he sings it and made me so proud ! just wanna share to my fellow friends and all ... enjoy !

Spending My Own


As you guys know I am in the midst of creating my upcoming 2nd solo album ( hopefully ) that will be a source of my promises that I have made not only to my fellow supporters but most importantly myself ....
And next week, I hope I get to finish my 1st song which I call "So Damn Lucky" with Greg.
As you can see this is as much money I am spending for this song and to actually make this song happen... not including the time and money I spent to actually get my ass there in the first place.
I just hope that when the album is out , no one! ( at least the people that actually care and sincerely want to support me and should support me ) ask for a free copy of it ...... Cos face it guys .... we don't do all this hard work just to have people dragging you down under and suck out the blood out of you.
The old times are fine. They dont involve my money at all... Yeah, I worked damn hard for it ... but hey... not as much as I am working on my second album now ...... my own sweat and blood ... my own accounts and everything my way ......
The only thing that I would ask is, don't say you're on my back if all you can do is say it... If you wan a free copy ... well let me just say .. this is how much of my hard work and effort you "Flushing" down the toilet... my whole hopes and dreams.. and all that hard work. If you really mean it ... then say it.... if you're just saying it... .save it ....
I just hope I wont be disappointed again .... and this time .... please consider what I am working for ..

Another step closer to my dream


I was in KL just for 28 hours ... and I was so exited to get to drive around for the first time ever! people said that if I can drive in KL, I would be alright driving everywhere else hahhahah .. well I hope that's right .
That was not the only reason that made me so exited! my dream to create my newest album is getting more more reachable now that I am one step closer to it.
Its been awhile now that I have been trying to make some songs and looking for people to work it with .... But so far I am to picky to actually make up my mind about who i am going to entrust it with. So finally I turn to Greg Handerson again for his expertise and experience working with me before. I know he is the only producer that actually understand Petronella Suan, when it comes to my singing and how to record me ... and I was not wrong at all.
Met up with him at his place, met his gorgeous wife and kid Mia, who grew up so tall and smart ..
Greg studio's is now home based. his place has 3 levels ... and his studio was right on the highest level... " too many stairs" that's what I told him as I was gasping for air when I reached his studio.
As I open the door, I recognized the smell that was always filling up the room with the smell of lavender. It was still like it was before I left for Dubai, But even more stuff placed around. I noticed he has been keeping himself busy with not only the music, but his painting as well.... lovely paintings everywhere ..... I saw some of my drawings that I made 5 years ago in this very room still ruling the same spot on his art wall.
Back to present. we started working on the song that I emailed to him earlier.... the groove was just too smooth, we came up with the right melody and recorded the final Demo for it. So hopefully we will have the song ready and I can go for vocal recording by my next visit to KL.
And knowing Greg, the song should be mixed and ready for its first Debut on Radio end of august 2009. Yupidoooo!!!!!!!!
So hang in there guys ... and look out for my first English song tittled " So Damn Lucky" inspired by my shining armor and my love for him.
enjoy....
