Dreamer, Talker and Singer


Last night, at a basement jazz venue. I said I wanted to sing a tune. My friend said I was just a dreamer and talker, as usual.

Then some musicians thumbed to me during the jam set. To fend off the 'dreamer' curse, I really stepped to the stage. I made it! Not jazzy, a pop 'Feelings'. Thanks to the keyboard musician who keyed me in. The accompanying music was sonorous. I sang on, i looked at the audience - they were watching encouragingly. I exchanged w/ the smiling musicians. I flew up and down in the song although my voice nearly swallowed by the music.

I heard my name fanfared by some nice supportive guys. 'Am I a star? no, friend of a dreamer.'

Actually, there's the very stylish performer/singer V, who, like me, stepped up for fun. He resembled Bono of U2 and he's really professional and powerful on the stage. He sang rocknroll admirably and electrically. Well, i felt something in his eyes.

Good news at last. I succeed in talking two professionals into being my singing teacher. One is a gifted music elite in Macau who came a long way from Brazil. I wanted to be his jazz student for many years yet only tonight we made agreement. The other one, hehe, you bet--he said we'd train on the only green mountain in the city.

Look, a singer is going to be born. The dreamer and talker remains in her.

(Cheers, today is my real birthday a/c to lunar calendar and yesterday was my celebration.)

A hardly visible smile to you all, and a gentle kiss, since i m in a good mood!

Come to see me singing on the stage one day in Macau and be my pusher for trainings. Hehe, haven't call the two teachers. One of them, as claimed by my friend, is a bad boy.

Pere,

Dono's always w/ U2.

Touch, goan, mint, among others,

It doesnt take courage or talent to stand up, just guts, a bit of guts, and, the atmosphere that stirs you up. (Guess Chinese, Karaoke frenzied, are more easy to sing publicly.)

Need get training next week, let me say. Be my watchmen?
