While I have achieved my dream of becoming a recording artiste with the release of my debut Cantonese album last year, my biggest dream is to be a gospel singer who travels around the world.
Nothing would be more satisfying that to use my talent for the glory of God, building treasures in heaven & impacting lives by doing what I do best & love most - singing; while visiting places around the world, marvelling at the wonder of God's creation.
In June 2010, I had a glimpse of doing just that with the opportunity to sing at the other side of the world - Middle East. I had the honour of being the guest entertainer at Dumpling Festival held at Doha Fellowship, Qatar. This was an evangelistic meeting attended mainly by Asians, along with several visitors from Europe.
The delectable food at the festival.

Deacon Ai May sharing the message
My performance started with 'Hound Dog', which never fails to capture the crowd's attention with a big bang. During 'Can't Help Falling In Love', the crowd sang along to the last line of this familiar tune.It then reached the highlight of my performance, with an inspiring message of hope from Jesus.
I sang the gospel song that earned Elvis Presley a grammy award for best gospel album - "He Touched Me". Check out the touching lyrics :
Shackled by a heavy burden
'Neath the load of guilt & shame
Then the hand of Jesus touched me
And now I am no longer the same
For He touched me
Oh He touched me
And oh what a joy that floods my soul
Something happened and now I know
He touched me & made me whole
Since I met this blessed saviour
And since he cleansed & made me whole
Oh I will never cease to praise Him
I'll shout it while eternity rolls
For He touched me
Oh He touched me
And oh what a joy that floods my soul
Something happened and now I know
He touched me & made me whole
