I think, from the very beginning, I always knew that I needed to get out of Malaysia and do my thing somewhere else.

I love weekends. Just like everyone else, I get to rest on weekends and go out with friends. I hate Mondays.

My label understands that I am really attached to Malaysia, that I come home a lot.

In Malaysia, we have a lot of divas, like Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey singers. And they were all so so talented, just very talented. For example, there's this one jazz singer, her name is Sheila Majid, and I was always singing her songs.

Home, to me, is where I am and where I feel most comfortable. Obviously, Malaysia is home. In L.A., my home is my apartment because that's my Malaysia.

It's been my experience that every time I think I know where it's at, it's usually somewhere else.
