Time and time again... I get so happy whenever someone uses me as a Vocal Coach. Here's the WhatsApp Group Chat I had with my friends.

Subject: Vocal Tip - tips on changing from low to high notes when singing

 

[10:14, 28/06/2014] MC: Fonz, do you have any tips on changing from low to high notes when singing? Eg G to C, my voice tends to sounds either harsh or airy

[10:15, 28/06/2014] MC: I'm learning the psalm for tmr and having some difficulty with the first bar of each verse when the note changes from high C to G to high C again

[12:27, 28/06/2014] fONS: I didn't think u'd (have) any problems coz u always sound natural. I'm guessing... Harsh probably coz too much Chest Tone.... and Airy... prob too much Head Tone. Work on the right balance. The amount of breath support under the note will also help with balance. I also hv dd same problem but with practice it gets better but note dat i m still not there yet.

[12:28, 28/06/2014] AT: Wah... Like Chinese Doctor!!! Fonz can be our vocal sinseh!!!

[12:29, 28/06/2014] BC: lol

[12:29, 28/06/2014] BC: Right balance sounds like yin and yang

[12:29, 28/06/2014] AT: Kakakakakakaka....

[12:29, 28/06/2014] fONS: Hahah!

[12:41, 28/06/2014] fONS: Before n after dd G note u mention is a common problem for most women bcoz most women use 2 vocal registers when they sing... whereas... men can go higher until just b4 dd next G... so most of dd time, men r just using 1 vocal register to sing.

[12:42, 28/06/2014] fONS: I better stop here... i cud go on n on.

Story ~ YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW

Good morning said a woman as she walked up to the man sitting on ground. The man slowly looked up. This was a woman clearly accustomed to the finer things of life. Her coat was new. She looked like she had never missed a meal in her life. His first thought was that she wanted to make fun of him, like so many others had done before.. "Leave me alone," he growled.... 


To his amazement, the woman continued standing. She was smiling -- her even white teeth displayed in dazzling rows. "Are you hungry?" she asked. 

"No," he answered sarcastically. "I've just come from dining with the president. Now go away." 

The woman's smile became even broader. Suddenly the man felt a gentle hand under his arm. 

"What are you doing, lady?" the man asked angrily. "I said to leave me alone. 

Just then a policeman came up. "Is there any problem, ma'am?" he asked. 

"No problem here, officer," the woman answered. "I'm just trying to get this man to his feet. Will you help me?" 

The officer scratched his head. "That's old Jack. He's been a fixture around here for a couple of years. What do you want with him?" 

"See that cafeteria over there?" she asked. "I'm going to get him something to eat and get him out of the cold for awhile." 

"Are you crazy, lady?" the homeless man resisted. "I don't want to go in there!" Then he felt strong hands grab his other arm and lift him up. "Let me go, officer. I didn't do anything."

" This is a good deal for you, Jack" the officer answered. "Don't blow it."

Finally, and with some difficulty, the woman and the police officer got Jack into the cafeteria and sat him at a table in a remote corner. It was the middle of the morning, so most of the breakfast crowd had already left and the lunch bunch had not yet arrived. The manager strode across the cafeteria and stood by his table. "What's going on here, officer?" he asked. "What is all this, is this man in trouble?" 

"This lady brought this man in here to be fed," the policeman answered. 

"Not in here!" the manager replied angrily. "Having a person like that here is bad for business.." 

Old Jack smiled a toothless grin. "See, lady. I told you so. Now if you'll let me go. I didn't want to come here in the first place." 

The woman turned to the cafeteria manager and smiled. "Sir, are you familiar with Eddy and Associates, the banking firm down the street?" 

"Of course I am," the manager answered impatiently. "They hold their weekly meetings in one of my banquet rooms." 

"And do you make a godly amount of money providing food at these weekly meetings?" 

"What business is that of yours?" 

I, sir, am Penelope Eddy, president and CEO of the company." 

"Oh." 

The woman smiled again. "I thought that might make a difference." She glanced at the cop who was busy stifling a giggle. "Would you like to join us in a cup of coffee and a meal, officer?" 

"No thanks, ma'am," the officer replied. "I'm on duty." 

"Then, perhaps, a cup of coffee to go?" 

"Yes, maam. That would be very nice." 

The cafeteria manager turned on his heel, "I'll get your coffee for you right away, officer."

The officer watched him walk away. "You certainly put him in his place," he said. 

"That was not my intent. Believe it or not, I have a reason for all this."

She sat down at the table across from her amazed dinner guest. She stared at him intently. "Jack, do you remember me?" 

Old Jack searched her face with his old, rheumy eyes. "I think so -- I mean you do look familiar." 

"I'm a little older perhaps," she said. "Maybe I've even filled out more than in my younger days when you worked here, and I came through that very door, cold and hungry." 

"Ma'am?" the officer said questioningly. He couldn't believe that such a magnificently turned out woman could ever have been hungry.

"I was just out of college," the woman began. "I had come to the city looking for a job, but I couldn't find anything. Finally I was down to my last few cents and had been kicked out of my apartment. I walked the streets for days. It was February and I was cold and nearly starving. I saw this place and walked in on the off chance that I could get something to eat." 

Jack lit up with a smile. "Now I remember," he said.. "I was behind the serving counter. You came up and asked me if you could work for something to eat. I said that it was against company policy." 

"I know," the woman continued. "Then you made me the biggest roast beef sandwich that I had ever seen, gave me a cup of coffee, and told me to go over to a corner table and enjoy it. I was afraid that you would get into trouble. Then, when I looked over and saw you put the price of my food in the cash register, I knew then that everything would be all right." 

"So you started your own business?" Old Jack said. 

"I got a job that very afternoon. I worked my way up. Eventually I started my own business that, with the help of God, prospered." She opened her purse and pulled out a business card. "When you are finished here, I want you to pay a visit to a Mr. Lyons. He's the personnel director of my company. I'll go talk to him now and I'm certain he'll find something for you to do around the office." She smiled. "I think he might even find the funds to give you a little advance so that you can buy some clothes and get a place to live until you get on your feet. If you ever need anything, my door is always opened to you." 

There were tears in the old man's eyes. "How can I ever thank you?" he said. 

"Don't thank me," the woman answered. "To God goes the glory. Thank God. He led me to you." 

Outside the cafeteria, the officer and the woman paused at the entrance before going their separate ways. 

"Thank you for all your help, officer," she said. 

"On the contrary, Ms. Eddy," he answered. "Thank you. I saw a miracle today, something that I will never forget. And, and thank you for the coffee."

Fourplay ~ Live Band at Nexus (Singapore)

Wife just sent me this email and 2 audio clips of this band 'Fourplay'.

She asked me, "Rating?". This is what I wrote to her.

I don't know how to rate this... but here're my comments. The band is quite good. It sounds acoustic. The singer in the first song (a recent hit, of which.. I don't know the title) sounded good. 2nd song (Wonderful Tonight) also good, but he sounded a little strained on the higher notes but he has a nice voice and this could be his not-so-good day. 

An internet search showed a US Jazz Band with the same name... 

However, I think I can give a rating for the the photo taking of the Poster Ad that you sent. I wished the photo taking could have been more clearer. It was difficult to read and enlarging it on my computer just gave me bigger pixels of what I already had difficulty reading. Rating for this photo-taking on a scale of One to Ten is a Ten (where 1 = Excellent or Very Good and 10 = err...... cmi).

There's probably no dinner for me tonight... but hey!... I could lose some weight.

... or... if you prefer...
a Simple Picture Explanation.

Q1 ~ Original Source Link of Video 1
~ by Yo Mama
{Re-Posting of Video 1}
I keep watching and re-watching this. Fascinating!
Video 1

{Posted Explanation in Picture 1}
{Using Picture To Show How It's Done}



Q2
{Posted Another Mind Boggling Picture}


{Explained Q1 using Mathematical Formula}


{Explaining Q2}
That triangle one has to deal with the slopes of the green and red triangles. 
It appears to be a straight line but it changes slightly where they meet if you look closely

{On Adam Sterner's Explanation of Q1}
Well proven...I was trying to visually simplify the answer.

{Explaining Q2}
If you look closely at the 'triangle' one, or reproduce it yourself, 
you'll find the diagonal is no longer a straight line in the 
second drawing--that accounts for the missing square area.

{on Q1}
David O'Malley -So basically you still have the same amount of pieces, but you lose volume, correct?

{on Q1}
Jeff, yes....the 3rd row from the bottom loses 25% per square, adding up to the missing square.


J1 tried the chocolate experiment! And it's true, there is a glitch in the matrix!

Joke & GIF ~ Panda ~ Eats Shoots and Leaves ~ The Good Life

This joke addresses the importance of the punctuation.

===.
.

panda walks into a café. He orders a sandwich, eats it, then draws a gun and proceeds to fire it at the other patrons. 'Why?' asks the confused, surviving waiter amidst the carnage, as the panda makes towards the exit. The panda produces a badly punctuated wildlife manual and tosses it over his shoulder. 'Well, I'm a panda,' he says, at the door. 'Look it up.' The waiter turns to the relevant entry in the manual and, sure enough, finds an explanation. 'Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves.'

The joke is putting the comma after "Eats" as in... 
"Eats, shoots and leaves" instead of... 
"Eats shoots and leaves".

April Fool Joke???

Think carefully before doing this... 
NO... better than that... DON'T do it.

I'm not sure if this is a good joke for various reasons.
1 ~ Powder could get into the eyes and cause some serious damage.
2 ~ The poor girl could be late for a very important appointment.
3 ~ Would you like it if someone did this to you?
