Past few days have been crazy. 3 shows in a row. Never thought I would have done something like this. My buddy Neil (of RELENT)
said something that sum up what I am passionate about - paraphrasing
him, “we just need to move out of our comfort zone to share the message
of love to the world”
So that’s the foundation of what I do and what I am passionate about.
I
am just grateful for the experiences from these few days and also for
the people I met. Huge thanks to everyone for the love and support.
Probably will be taking a breather for awhile but do stay tuned to my fb music page for updates. Like i said yesterday - best is yet to come.
Playspace gig was another memorable one for
me. Played alongside wonderful bands and meeting a lot of people. I am
humbled by their comments even though I feel there's a lot of areas for
me to improve.
Thank You God for the opportunity. Thank you to
those who came. Thank you timlimproject band for this round, i think
this have been an eye opener experience for you all.
I was reminded in some way and another that life is short, so be
positive and just take strides. I pray that I have the strength to face
each day, by God's grace.
Overall, another priceless experience.
Looking forward to a new experience in next one, which is in Penang. But doing solo this time. Ha!
Morningwood gig was wonderful. Beautiful music vibes. I enjoyed every single performance. Humbled by so many kind words from people about
my songs. Thank you very much and those comments means a lot to me so I
can improve. Yes, I need to up my game then.
Next stop : Playspace LIVE this Sunday. Massive day with monster lineup with the best of the best in local music
Last week was really an interesting week of gigs. Frontera,
W_are_house, Soundstruck. Grateful for the opportunity, grateful for
every feedback, grateful for the people I met especially in making new
acquaintances.
Sometimes this journey is so hard and many times i
feel like quitting. Sometimes I am misjudged and misunderstood, which
it sometimes hurts me. But I thank God, through the people I met and in
my life, I am reminded that only He can
open and close doors in my life. Never take anything for granted, never
look down on the journey that God has led you. Keep the passion going.
Someone, during one of my recent gig, gave me a golden advice --
"disappointment and rejection can only make you stronger". Man, when I
heard that, it just break me inside and I feel as though God is speaking
to me.
Anyway, thank you all for your kind words and encouragement. Let's hustle on!
Culture SYOK gig was interesting, started by a community for the community. It was amazing to play in front of a really Malaysian crowd -- all the races and cultures were there. Made a lot of new friends there too. The night went well basically, really grateful about it.
That's all for January gigs. The w_are_houseevent appearance will be postponed to February so stay tuned to my music page for the details though.
#flashbackfriday
to last week's Groundeatery gig with these champions RELENT and Kent Sim. Fun night and thank you Shirley for the
opportunity to share some Christmas joy to the community 😊
One of my 2016 resolution is to get this music/gig train running again
after some quiet time in KK. I set out to do it, with a prayerful heart.
Looking back, I am grateful to God for His grace in fulfilling that
resolution.
There were lots of memorable moments and I am
thankful for it. I am grateful for all the friends I made throughout
this journey. They are wonderful and their love for music inspires me to be better.
2017 is going to be awesome. I just can feel it. Anyway, please follow Tim Lim for the updates. There's ideas waiting to be shared, time will tell what it is all about.
A huge thanks for all the support and love. Cheers and much love.
I am blessed by what happened today and grateful to do this with @groundeatery.shirley, @tneksim and @relentband. Their talents encouraged me a lot. Thanks for the opportunity to partner in this, love your hearts yo!
Looking forward to exciting Christmas especially Luminous at @ilovefcc !! Woots!!
A super huge shoutout to my good buddies RELENT for the release of the new album
Love
the new songs!! I have been looping the album over and over again.
Apart from "wisdom" and "good viberations", I love "satisfied" and "what
love is"
My friends reading this, you gotta have their album!!
And RELENT, you all will always have my support and love. Keep the songs coming yo!
Last night's story. Had a wonderful time there. Thank you for coming to my featured act at Barlai.
Thank you all for the love shown at the venue and social media. Thank you @gracepang16 and @dchin95 being part of the night as well. Thanks @shaneildevaser for being a wonderful host.
I thought I want to share this testimony. A testimony to show of God's grace and glory.
I guess a lot of people's impression that I came out with this awesome pun concert name called Heartcore. hahaha. Sorry it wasn't me but well, read about the story here about it means actually..
In a nutshell, Heartcore is all about our hearts being centered on God, coming back to heart in serving and worship. So it's appropriate that this concert, the heart of it is God Himself.
To organize Heartcore in FCC is not easy. The details to look into was taxing. It's tiring, can't stress that more, when some people give unnecessary stress on details. I know a lot of people often say "this guy always love to do concert", truth is.. doing concert is not easy and I don't do it for the sake of doing it. To add to that, a lot of people have different views what a concert should be.. moreover, an "evangelistic concert". But looking up to God is the remedy. Often, I trust God will move in ways that we cannot imagine.
One of the faint ideas I have prior to coming to KL is to explore doing a concert this year at FCC. I actually prayed about it. I've been going around with ideas like doing one on our own or get performers in (something like what I have done with RELENT over the years).
I actually heard and read about Heartcore tour, in fact Neil (of RELENT) shared with me about it. I love their idea and it's actually my dream (or vision) to be part of something big for God. I did roughly kept in touch with Jeff Kumar on Facebook and we've met up occasionally but it was my meeting with Darren Teh (An Honest Mistake singer who also plays bass in AOT) that changes everything.
We talked more about the Heartcore initiative and it is exactly what I love to be part of. Then immediately I sold that idea to my senior pastor who so happened to be at where we were discussing. Since then, ground work has been laid.
What I am trying to say is as I reflect back on what happened, I learn that when you commit your plans to God, when you seek Him then you go and work on it, God will open doors.
Another dream come true for me is to work together with AOT. I heard of them since I was young and they are the band that inspired me to go all out for God in music. I always hope to meet them someday, perhaps to collaborate on something.
It was this song that changed my view on music especially local Christian music. I have heard Christian hard rock albums before, especially from America (think Kutless, Relient K, Thousand foot krutch) but for something local like this, I feel that's something to take note of. And yes, I keep looping this song every now and then. Even today. CLASSIC =)
Many years on, here I am today with my own songs and albums with a purpose all out for God. All thanks to God's leading that we have the opportunity to meet and now, we are working together on this mission to use local Christian music to impact the nation here and beyond. We have been keeping in touch a lot lately because we are totally sold out on this mission and it's exciting to see how God is leading us towards that mission. Loving the fact I am part of something that is bigger than myself.
In summary, only God can make this radical dream come true and possible. Only GOD.
This whole experience can only inspire me to trust in God for open doors and a reminder that the best is yet to come.
I hope this inspires you as well to live and pursue God for your dreams, ambitions and hopes. It can be music, it can be arts, it can be a working field, it can be in an area or a mission field that God has planted in you.
I always love what C.S. Lewis said — 'You are never too old to set another goal, or to dream a new dream.'
Anyway, thanks all for being part of this awesome concert. The testimonies I hear so far have been encouraging. At the same time, I appreciate all the feedback that I have hear.
Thanks to all the acts -- Army of Three, Relent, Joanne&Julia, South&the Lowlands and Kent Sim. Thanks cell leaders and ushers in doing the ground work. Thank you everyone who came, I believed you are blessed by what God is doing through everyone's gift -- be it music or the ushering.
