Dean KuanDean Kuan’s World

Drizzling sunday morning, makes you feel bit lazy to get up from the bed especially when you have no plan for the whole day. Think back last week, i was invited to sing in a church event. Its a food and goods fair for raising fund for St Joseph Church here in Kuching.

With a simple set up, the whole session was fun. Making use of all the things we had to actually launch a performance. Would like to express my gratitude to all the musicians really grateful.

Got a copy of dvd of me singing and playing guitar last few days but couldnt get it to transfer into my imovie, still figuring out. Here are some snapshot of the performance.

The guitarist suppose to stand up but the strap gave way last minute… Thanks him(Mr Lee)  for the great guitar skill and key person who make this happen. The guitar skill lift up the whole sprits of the whole show.

Also the drummer AAp, been practicing a lot, really appreciate that. and not to forget the keyboardist sitting at the corner, who was not in frame. He do a big favour big filling up all the “holes” and big enhancement on the music.

Our bassist of the day, uncle jimmy really appreciate.

Recall back i think i did this before few years ago, the same thing at the same place. Times flies, its been 6yrs since. Wow. Anyway, we manage to raise couple of thousands, was happy with it. Looking forward for the next performance. Big or small… Will try to upload the video once iv sort it out.

Finally, im performing again, singing with guitars. Was invited to perform at the DIGI event. It was a farewell party of  their CEO for six years. The party was held on a boat, river cruise kind of thing.

Picture was taken while boarding the boat.

On the upper deck.

A wide view of the boat.

the inside of the boat(lower deck) they actually made it into a restaurant and a bar right behind. quite english atmosphere.

This is of course the upper deck, its quite b=nice to actually sit at the edge having beers and enjoying the scenery, off course i cant do it, im at work, too bad..

I was then stand by at a corner  waiting for time to perform while they were having all the events going on. everything seems right there were other performers as well like dancers and stuff.  the only thing is the sound system is a bit out. Was worrying how am i going to sing in that sort of set up which your voice will go distort through the mic even whispering.

But still everyone seems to have lots of fun. Thanks to the early serving of alcohol and some bottoms up activities.

And finally its our turn to perform, and suddenly the sound gone worst, they are having technical difficulties trying to sort things out. So still gotta wait.

There were busying sorting things out, changing mixer and stuff. Then found out from the sound man that they actually do not have experience in doing live band……wow…tried a few attempts then still could not get the sound right. The problem is that the did not bring power amp to boost up the mic signal hence the sound came out distorted.

We ends up spending five hours waiting without doing anything, show have to cancel. At the end , the keyboardist decided to drive the boat back……
