It’s been a long time since we spoke to Stefanie Sun. So we decided to do so again.
Unfortunately, her busy schedule meant that we couldn’t have any face time with each other. But hopefully at this Saturday’s Singapore Hit Awards we can. Still, she took a little time off to answer our questions via email. And here they are…
How do you feel about leading the nominations list for this year’s Singapore Hit Awards? Did you expect it?
I feel very lucky that the judges still think of me as relevant in this fickle industry. I did not not expect it, I just do not think or calculate when my next win will be.
So what’s it like being married? Is it everything you expected it to be?
I had previously believed that marriage is, as they say, just a piece of paper. But once you make that commitment, it does alters your life in little ways. The most important and significant change is probably that you don’t have to deal with yourself all on your own anymore. It’s a good thing.
Many people called your album a comeback, but are you really heading back in a big way?
Am I heading back in a big way? I don’t know how to answer that! Hmm, an album is always a big thing in my life. It’s like a stamp with a date on it that marks certain benchmarks in my life. It is a big thing for me that’s for sure. It eats me up and feeds me all at the same time. So the answer to that is, I’m not really heading for a new big crown on my head. I just want to be substantial and honest. For now.
The response to the album was astounding, did you expect that, having been away from the recording scene?
When the album was released I really did not know what to expect, 4 years did seem like a pretty long haul. But I feel humbled by the response, there seems to be so much space to be whatever you want to be.
When will you do a full-scale gig in Singapore again?
SOON. (In relation to light years!)
Having been in the industry for over a decade, what would you say is the biggest life lesson you’ve learnt?
All these years in this industry, I very often am faced with decisions that seemed difficult because “it’s not befitting of a first rate artiste”, ”it doesn’t pay well” or “nobody else is doing that” etc. You let yourself be saddled with issues that might seem important but are often vanity issues in disguise. I try to take myself out of this idiotic equation and ask myself what I want to do. So stay true to yourself. That’s the best advice I know.
And now your life has changed in oh, so many ways, but is there some part of your life you’d like to redo?
The Momentis a point in my life that comes to my head sometimes. I wouldn’t know how to redo THAT. It was hellish. So no thanks, no need to redo, just move on already!
What’s the best thing about being Stefanie now? She can do whatever she wants.
And apart from answering these silly questions, is there a worst thing about being Stefanie now? She can do whatever she wants. (You have no idea.)
If there’s one word that can describe 2011 for you, what would it be? Complete.
SHA 2011 happens Nov 12, 7.30pm at Singapore Indoor Stadium. Tickets at S$138, S$88 and S$21 from SISTIC.
