The gem that is Malaysian

HO-SEI adj. steady (example of usage: that guy can really do business, some more can be trusted. Damn hoi sei I tell you.)

I have posted blogs on Paolo Nutini, Lily Allen and Cansei De Ser Sexy, because I like their music and I admire them for being that little different from the rest. But if I had to put a Malaysian in that similar category, who would it be?

After several sessions of brain-storming, Google searching, Wikipedia-ing, Youtube surfing, plus several non-related arguments on MSNChat, I found my answer.

I initially wanted to say OAG (sorry to disappoint), and then I stumbled across this gem.

She has this ruggedness I find charming and yet sweet; you'll just want to hear what she has to say in her songs. I've never read about her talent and music in the printed media, but after seeing her on Youtube, I am convinced that her materials will soon be on the radio waves. Well, at least I think they deserved to be. And not contented on just playing the guitar and writing songs, the lady also finds time to blog. *you steady girl*

I wish her good luck, and her name is Ana Raffali.

Enjoy!
