Local Music


Local Music

The local music scene has changed drastically over the years (in my opinion) and it seems to be a lot more vibrant now. 

In this post, I'll be sharing about local music, specifically the music of three local female singers who are all singers-songwriters. Personally, I think they're all very talented.

Song for the Underdog

If you've been an underdog,  you might be able to relate to  this song  titled "Song for the Underdog" by Annette Lee. By the way, I like the lively music of this song.:)

I first got to know about Annette through  her Facebook   (FB)  videos  and  I  actually  find  her  videos quite entertaining.  You  might  want  to  check  out  her videos  on FB.  Incidentally,  it was  only very recently that I started listening to her music. 

1057

1057 is the single debut of Jasmine Sokko who, according to Wikipedia, is one of the top most-streamed Singaporean female singers on Spotify. She's known for wearing her trademark masks to conceal part of her face. 

I'd watched her perform for the National Day Concert on TV in 2019. And I like how she was able to charm the audience at the concert. If you're keen to watch her perform at the concert, you might want to do a search on one of the search engines. Because I'm not sure if it's ok to put a link here as it might be copyrighted content owned by Mediacorp.

Wallflower

Inch Chua is the most established artist among the three. Besides her love for music/singing, she's said to love cooking as well. Incidentally, according to channelnewsasia.com, Inch is vying for a chance to be the MasterChef Singapore winner in the next season of the show, which is scheduled to be aired in February 2021. 

Among the three of them, I think I could relate to Inch and her songs better, because from what I've read about her, I feel that she's a lot like me. Incidentally, if you want to get to know her better, you might want to check out an article on sgmagazine.com, where she revealed how music had saved her life.

There's one part of a verse in Wallflower that resonates with me...And it's that part that makes me feel connected to her. You might want to check out her YouTube channel for more of her music at Inch Chua.


Cheers,

Annie Chan

Definition of Animal Euthanasia Animal euthanasia is the act of killing an animal humanely, most commonly with injectable drugs. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_euthanasia ) It's  a method of killing that minimises pain, distress, and anxiety experienced by the animal before the loss of consciousness. ( https://www.msdvetmanual.com/clinical-pathology-and-procedures/euthanasia/euthanasia-of-animals ) How Does Animal Euthanasia Work?

Do You Eat Dog Meat?

Image
  Around early 2022, I watched a video of a big dog being forced by a man to go up to a truck. The man was apparently a dog meat trader in a certain part of China. He was using a sharp tool to grip the dog’s neck, which obviously caused it pain and made it fearful as could be seen from its expression. There were other dogs on the truck. It was a sad sight to behold. There were quite a lot of onlookers around. I was shocked that none of them intervened. I knew it could get them into trouble with the dog meat trader if they were to intervene. But if some of them had stepped forward to help the poor dog, it was very likely to be saved. Surely they could buy it or at least call an animal shelter? How could they be so indifferent to the way the dog meat trader handle it? Dogs aren’t poultry. They are supposed to be pets doted by humans, not killed and eaten as food, isn’t it? Moreover, dogs are said to be very loyal. So how could anyone have the heart to kill and consume them? Okay, I k
