YIDA

I wonder how many people still remember this name. His passion, his courage and his strong attitude melted me when i first time know his name. Unlike others, he proves that he is not an artist, but a singer, he doesn't do what everyone wants him to do, but he always does what he wants to do the most. He keeps his music to his own style, he keeps his attitude to his very original one. I just like who he is, YIDA.

He is just an ordinary guy from Singapore who loves music very much. He gave up everything - his band, his gf and went to Taiwan without being understood by his own family. Being a singer, he felt extreme pressure which almost dragged him towards the end, and then he decided to give himself a good rest and headed to Thailand. He is now clear of what he wants and is coming back to music! (Well, this is just based on the brief knowledge of myself towards this guy. =D) 

Tell you why i like him so much. I liked Nicholas Teo and Kenji Wu before also, similar to the feeling of liking him. However, the feeling does not sustain for Nicholas and Kenji but towards him, i realized that i will still search for his news and MVs as soon as i remember him. What i like about him is his attitude - i do not, and will not feel tired repeating this - he lives in the way that he wants himself to be living in, but not living in the way that other people wants him to be living in. He does what he wants, producing the music that represents him the best; and does not composing music for the sake of getting more and more famous in the entertainment world. He shows us that he is a SINGER, not an ENTERTAINER.

In Chinese, 他不是一直做Show討好別人的藝人，他是堅持自己夢想與風格的歌手。
在複雜的娛樂圈裏，他選擇做自己，讓我看到一個真實的義達。
我深深被他真誠的態度吸引，喜歡就喜歡，不愛就不愛，這就是他，從不掩飾的義達。

(Later, his hair will be short one. =D)

寫給自己的歌 - this is the song that he expressed how hard the situation he was in when he is so lonely that noone was supporting him. Quoted - "「寫給自己的歌」是黃義達19歲時所寫的。當時的他，剛剛被經紀公司發掘，還只是一個玩Band的小夥子；原本他只想當個幕後的音樂創作人，但經紀公司覺得他條件不錯，適合往幕前發展，準備送他到台灣來接受進一步的訓練。在寫下這首歌的時候，正是義達離開了合組4年的樂團，離開了當時的女友，在家人也不太了解他在做什麼的狀況下，一個人告別熟悉的環境來到陌生的台灣，一個人、一把吉他，寫下了這首孤獨追夢人的心聲。" However, he did not give up, and i am glad that he did not. Otherwise i would not know such wonderful singer. 


Particularly, i like this mv. " 愛了才懂 ". I just love the story, it was so touching.

"此時此刻 想把心情告訴你
在這裡 [想起你的吻]
心中一陣熱
我是幸福的[被你愛著]
如果沒有你
[海浪聲]只剩單調的音
吹著風 只感覺刺骨
喝著水也難以吞嚥
[愛你的心情]
快滿出我的胸口
[因爲有你]
[我的回憶] 被你的愛慢慢包覆著
[相愛的事實] 留在無聲的回憶裏"

Without much things to say - This MV is a MUST-WATCH. ^^

I know he won't see this, but i still want to say - ADD OIL! YOU HAVE A FOREVER SUPPORTER HERE, RIGHT IN PENANG, MALAYSIA!!! KEEP GOING!!! And, can i not say "I LOVE YOU" although i do? I don't think you want to hear this as well. Haha. 

Just smile like this, forever. =D
