We adjourned out of Tokyo to start our out-of-town in-store mini LIVE promo tour last week with 2 daily performances in Saitama, Gunma and Ibaragi, Japan. Although the car ride could sometimes take up to 3-4 hours for a 91km distance because of the traffic congestion on the highway (yes, imagine the Jalan Tun Razak peak hour crawl *smirk*), I had a blast at all the performance venues in those areas. *grin*

with the team at WAVE CD shop after our show in Saitama (18th September) *smile*

The Japanese audience are a responsive lot so it makes a great deal of difference especially for someone like me who’s new in their vicinity. I definitely felt the warmth from the wonderful people that came to watch and support me despite me still having so much to learn and improve on, so with that, I’m more determined than ever to make sure I do just that! Haha. がんばります! *bow*

日本のみなさん、これから　おうえん　よろしくお願いします。つぎのライブ　みにきてください　ね！

Gunma (19th September) *grin*

It’s been a rather hectic stretch with minimal sleep and having to brace the heat in doing what I do, but seeing that my team is giving all they have and more makes me feel very blessed. I wouldn’t change this for the world. *smile* To those outside Japan, I really wish you were here, but regardless, I am grateful for all your unconditional love, support, encouragement and prayers which make ALL THE DIFFERENCE! *smile* Oh and mum and dad, I wouldn’t be able to survive without your constant prayers and intercession. Love you!

Tsukuba’s Iiasu Mall (20th September) *smile*

with Sindy San, the very talented singer from Korea who’s Japan debut was earlier this year. She performed before I did today. *smile*

Gonna try and get some sleep for another early morning tomorrow but meantime, here’s a big panda hug for you. *BIG-HUG* Mwahhhhhhhh!!!!!

p/s: I LOVE Saitama, Gunma and Tsukuba!!!! *grin*
