Picking myself up n taking a break

Life has been interesting and with emotions and hormones in the way it makes life a roller coaster - maybe that's y I'm so afraid of heights.
My voice has gotten worse. I can sing high notes but my breaking notes r getting worse. I love singing but I get so afraid of pure silence. I still have to work on that. Maybe I'm ment to NOT sing. Maybe I'm ment to play the piano and sing. Maybe I'm ment to do something else. I just love singing which brings me to another world. I need training. I really do and I guess it's time to get bck to my jazz singing next semester.
I've been having an interesting 1 and a half year which some of you might know and I know it's time to clean up my act and let go of my bad habit. It's seriously hard. I haven't had a drink for a month now until today and I just feel like drinking more. Pain killers? They seem to be the only way out but I have to constantly remember how much I hate them considering dad kept on pushing medicine dwn my throat(not literally) since I was young. A few other bad habits which I've been fighting with myself to stop. It's not as easy as I thought.
Anyways, it's high time I start memorizing songs so that when I'm ask to sing, I can sing anything on top of my head instead of struggling.
I can't wait for tomorrow most of the time. I can't wait to see what life may surprise me in. =) Most of the time I tend to look into my future but I guess cheating is no fun although it helps me cope with life better.

How

inspired to write this song by a friend. Wrote this song on the train on the way home from uni.... Recording is not perfect but you get the idea.
Enjoy....


How - Lorraine Chai

Lyrics n music by Lorraine Chai

It would be...
I would see...
It would be that I will see
How you would be to me

And I know that it’s true
That my heart can’t take you
You’ve inspired my heart
And you’ve made my soul sing out
How would I be today?
If I’ve said No all the way
How?
Now
How?

Chorus:
How many times has it been?
How many ways which I’ve gone through
How many secrets do you know about me?
How can I be my own self?
Without you holding my hand
Oh how would life be tomorrow?

For I’ve longed for your touch
When the time would stay still
You’ve made me wanna dance
And feel the rhythm of the world.
How would I be today?
Without knowing you this way
How?
Now
How?
