Good apples, Bad apples !

This weekend pass so quickly but i manage to get some rest before the month of November. Look forward to Elson's album to be released in November cos i still believe that Heaven will help ppl who are kind hearted & hard working.

Something happen over these few days which make me kind of sad intially but not anymore. I told myself that most of the times, ppl like to wear a mask so that ppl around them won't know what they are thinking. It is kind of scarely as ppl may appear to be kind & innocent in front of you but they will eventually show their wolf character after that. Luckily is that 邪不能胜正 & we have not really done anything major for this person, or else it will be such a waste of time & effort.

In any industry, there bound to be bad apples among the good apples. Glad that we have manage to get rid of all the bad ones as we do not want to affect the good ones. Let all the bad apples get together & rot together. As for the good apples, i hope you will be able to open your eyes widely & see for yourselves. Once you mix with the bad ones, no one can save u.

Good luck to those bad apples out there.

To Go or to Stay On......

This morning, i received an email from William to inform me of Faith leaving Royal International Group. Actually to me, high turnover in the media industry is very common in Singapore.

As a Artiste manager, i sign in new potential talents with the intention of unleasing their potential. There is no lack of talents in Singapore but some of them are just lack of the luck to meet the right manager to guide them & to groom them further.

Recently, a question come to my mind. For talents that tell me that they like singing & wants to join us as talents or artiste, is it purely just interest or they really want to pursue singing. For people who join becos of interest, they might be very committed intially but when they lost interest, they will leave.

To all Artistes & performing group under us

If you join purely based on trying out or based on interest only, please consider carefully whether this is the route you really want to take. If you decided to continue with us, please work hard & prove to us that you are worth us grooming further.

There is no lack of talents in Singapore. The company will not lose out becos of anyone leaving but the person themselves will be at the losing end. Even if we have to give up the whole forest for one tree.

Jiayou to all Royal Artistes, performing Group & talents.

From Good Guy to Bad Guy !!

Just finish with 三个女人 . 一个超级市场 SuperMarket 音乐会 today from 3-5pm. I can said that i am actually quite disappointed with the outcome & actually glad that my partner William wasn't there for the showcase today. Reached there at about 2pm for the rehearsal.

Shanice, Faith & jessica were taking their turns to rehearse on their parts. The whole place was so empty. Other then ppl from our royal family, Evon, sillykid, Joanne & Peter were there to support the event. After a while, Faith friends came to support her for the event. The whole event starts at around 3pm.

The opening was not very well done as there wasn't any introduction at all to the audiences. After welcoming everyone to the showcase, they start talking among themselves explaining the reason behind the event name. No proper interaction with the audiences. There is no proper arranging of songs list as well. Songs were not arranged in the right order and it shows people that they are not prepared for the showcase.

Some small details was not pay attention to & the event finish even before 5pm. After which, i have a debrief with all of them, pointing out all the things that i have noticed today. They don't even bother to pay attention to what i have said & i have to constantly "remind " them that i am giving a briefing right now.

I tink the management have done a lot & given all of you enough chances & opportunities so please treasure what you have now. I dun tink we need to remind you that you have to update us on rehearsal dates & to practise enough so that you are always ready for any challenges.

I may be quiet & friendly to everyone at times but as management, i do monitor each of your performances. All of you give me the impression of following time-table & performing for the sake of performing. Please wake up & put in more effort to show us your improvement.

I can be a good guy as well as a bad guy. All of you can hate me if you want. I just feel that it is time for me to speak up & let everyone knows how i feel. Time will prove and show everything. The strongest and good ones will survive.

I specially like this sentence from William blog. "Nevertheless, this entertainment industry is always about mind game, whoever control the game in certain project, will always be the winner. So as a follower (Actor/Singer) in the game, do make sure you follow the right mind master. Otherwise you will be wasting time again."
