Kong's debut single was launched in January 2007. Her debut EP also includes her singles Cinta Hello Kitty and Ku Tak Upaya, both penned by fellow Malaysian songwriter Asmin Mudin (writer of Malaysian Idol Jaclyn Victor's Gemilang). Both were featured on several radio station top charts including ERA, Xfresh and others.

On 17 July 2007, she made a first in the Malaysian music scene by being the first artiste to hold a web concert. In September, she announced her plan to produce a Mandarin album (and her Chinese stage name, as stated above). The album, titled Showtime, which has since been finished and scheduled for release on 27 October[2], however, hit a snag when it was found that retail stores refuse to distribute or sell the album. This lead her company to only sell her album in a 50-leg promotional tour around the country.[3]

listen to some of her songs here ya... this is my favourite.. Cinta Hello Kitty... really nice...

Cinta Hello Kitty

Mengapa kau membutakan telingaku
Mengapa engkau membutakan hatiku
Sehinggaku tak peduli
Semua insan berbintiku


Hinggaku sanggup melarikan diri
Tinggalkan ibu ayah dan Hello Kitty
Bersamamu ku temui
Yang kukenal sehari


Chorus:
Ku tahu ibu ayah terguris hati
Siang dan malam gelisahkan aku
Hello Kitty tolong aku
Katakan aku ok…
Esok aku meraih hari jadiku
Air mata berlinang dipipiku
Hello Kitty tolong aku
Tiupkan lilin yang buta ini


Setelah kepalsuan mencelikkanku
Setelah penyesalan menginsafkanku
Hello Kitty tolong aku
Aku mahu pulang…

Watch TV on laptop, finally!!!

yay!!! I'm so happy!!! finally, I got to watch TV on my laptop!!! I was so blessed last week at PC fair when my colleague suddenly decide to give me his tv tuner! It started when he asked me what I want to look at in PC fair, I told him, i might look at tv tuner. then he told me, "aiya... I give you la.. I got one i never use before" .... wow!!!

DSC04245

It is Kworld brand TV-PVR USB2.0 TV2800, and this was given to him 1 year ago when he subscribe to some magazine and he never use it till he gave me.

DSC04246

An external USB 2.0 tv tuner. I wanted a PCMCIA type last time so that it can be plug into my laptop all the time and i can bring anywhere i want, but well, this is given by others, it's okay.

To use with this tuner, I need to buy an aerial. Bought an average tv aerial with internal amplified booster at RM 43

I got the cd follow the instructions and everything. then tried to run the program but.....  it didn't work because the driver and the software was outdated.... haiz...  I need to update the software again... =.= took me hours to find the software update.... and finally found it at 1am in the morning... haiz...

After installing the updates... hehehe voila!

Sarah Mclachlan...

http://essoduke.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/b00025etri01lzzzzzzz.jpg

Sarah Mclachlan, a song writer,  a great singer, one of the best I've seen since my secondary school, her songs are just so good. Her biography...

  • Born: 28 January 1968
  • Birthplace: Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada
  • Best Known As: Singer/Songwriter who co-founded Lilith Fair

http://img2.timeinc.net/ew/dynamic/imgs/030918/141251__06sarah_l.jpg

 

How many singers today you can actually find those which are truly and sincere in having a heart for charities. Sarah Mclachlan was just so amazing. Apart from her songs that are so beautiful...

 

http://www.yamaha.com/yamahavgn/Images/Artists/Main/sarah_mclachlan_main.jpg

"The McLachlan-founded Lilith Fair tour brought together 2 million people over its three-year history and raised more than $7 million for charities. It was the most successful all-female music festival in history, one of the biggest music festivals of the 1990s, and helped launch the careers of several well-known female artists."

 

Her songs are just so full of emotions, and soothing, rhymes with your feelings...

The best song I like from her entitled Angel, touches my heart every time I listen to it, even though for a million times..

Angel

Spend all your time waiting for that second chance
For the break that will make it OK
There's always some reason to feel not good enough
And it's hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction or a beautiful release
Memories seep from my veins
Let me be empty and weightless and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight

Chorus:
In the arms of the Angel far away from here
From this dark, cold hotel room, and the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie
You're in the arms of the Angel; may you find some comfort here


So tired of the straight line, and everywhere you turn
There's vultures and thieves at your back
The storm keeps on twisting, you keep on building the lies
That you make up for all that you lack
It don't make no difference, escaping one last time
It's easier to believe
In this sweet madness, oh this glorious sadness
That brings me to my knees

You're in the arms of the Angel; may you find some comfort here

Other songs I like are Adia, I love you and Building a mystery... love her songs so so much!
