| English, Mandarin, Cantonese, Hokkien, Japanese & Indonesian songs | ||||
| My passion for singing began when I was a kid. I won my first talentime when I was 10. However, I never dreamed of being a professional singer at all, till I was given the opportunity to join Singapore Broadcasting Corporation's Singing Training class of 1986. My music teachers, Mr Chee Woon Yang, Mr Henry Foo and Ms SK Poon were my mentors and I am forever grateful to them for their patience and guidance during my singing career. | ||||
