Mercy Aid Concert & Road Show 19th Sept 2009

It was our honour to do something for the victims of the Morakot and Kiko Typhoon in Taiwan and Philippines. Attending the radio interview last Thursday at UFM1003 was something we did to further inform the audiences on the road show and fund raising activities last Saturday at Bugis Junction.

As all of you know, when disasters strike, the damage does not end there. Reconstruction work for the home ground of the victims continue for a long time and without the help of others, it can take an extremely long time. If you are reading this, please, do a part for the Morakot and Kiko victims as it does not only mean something to them, it’ll mean something to you. Even a meagre sum of a dollar plays a big part in letting them take a step forward in rebuilding their homes and their lives.


Mercy Relief kick-started its one-month fundraising efforts on 19 August 2009 for the typhoon victims in Taiwan and the Philippines and hopes to raise S$200,000. Donations can be made via:


Tele-Mercy

1900 112 1010 (for a $10 donation)
1900 112 1050 (for a $50 donation)

The fundraising efforts will culminate with the MercyAid concert and road show to educate the public on MR’s ongoing efforts and garner their support for future engagements.


Thank you, with all my heart :)


Love, Joi.

回到最初:帮助别人其实没有你想像中那么难 :)

老天爷会在你心急的时候给你一个慢下来的机会。哪怕你有多么害怕赶不上脚步,或是落后了,其实最能赶上自己步伐的方式,就是给自己一个呼吸的空间。把思绪理好,然后再迈向未来。

在这一年九个月里,我过着平凡,充实,开心的生活。把自己养胖了些,心情也变得轻松。我重新思考什么对我而言是重要的,是真实的,对歌唱当初的热诚是什么?我很庆幸拥有充裕的时间做这些事情。每个人在这一生中最重要的其实不是人家加负在你身上的评价,而是做回自己的本能。要让脚步变得更快,可能就是先让自己停下脚步,感受心里的声音和当初追梦的那股勇气。所以在这个专辑里,我选择回到最初,回到单纯的需要,做回没想太多的那个她。

我很喜欢这次的专辑,因为参与了创作,也加入了自己的想法(感谢老板的support)。有些纯熟,有些嫩,但对我而言,这是最佳的平衡。

接下来在部落格里,会和大家分享MV花絮。。。别漏掉了哦:)

在和大家分享这次的心情之于,也希望大家能和我一起出多一份力和爱心。这个星期六我将与陈伟联和其他新加坡歌手在6点傍晚时分在Bugis Junction同台义演。这次是和Mercy Relief一同协力为那些被莫拉克台风破坏家园的台湾和菲律宾灾民的筹款活动。希望生活在稳定无灾难的新加坡朋友们可以不遗余力,也同样能够伸出双手,把自己的幸运和能力来帮助这些朋友们。希望我们的音乐能够帮助他们的同时也能抚慰大家的心灵:)记得一定要来支持这项深具意义的活动哦 :)
