2013 thank you note

I am sitting down in front of my computer, browsing all my pictures in 2013, reflecting the year..

Especially for myself as a songwriter and singer.. man.. it's has been one incredible journey.

Playing in simple gigs to the grandest of stage. Really thank God for every opportunity.

And I must say I enjoy the tours and gigs this year. Tawau, Sandakan, Ipoh, Kuching. Sol Frontera and Merdekarya worth a mention to. There were few more including Campus gigs with Change Your World.

Whether a crowd of 5 to 1000.. whether it's in school, church, pubs or massive hall.. my heart each time i go onstage is to give my best and hope the songs will touch the lives of the people.

I going to admit that I am never ashamed of my passion and my faith. That's me. And that's what has been fueling my life so far. To see music touching lives.

I really want to thank everyone of you for the tremendous support over 2013. Your love and support means a lot to me. I can't stressed that really enough. Thank you all for encouraging me (online or personally), coming to my gigs/shows, buying my CD, sharing my songs via youtube or soundcloud.

Special mention to the band : Yapp, Gracy and Ah Seng. I will miss you guys and I must say I enjoy every jamming session and touring time with you all. We will do more once I am back. Thank you for sticking together, thank you for your time, thank you for agreeing to journey this together. I will never forget how Yapp's noddle biting attempt on Ah Seng in Kuching. That itself will forever live in my memory. hahaha.

As some of you all know that I will be spending large part of 2014 at Kota Kinabalu to do my theological studies and also my worship ministry work there. At the same time, since I am at KK, I hope I able to enjoy the music scene in East Malaysia as much as I have here at West. So.. yea.. looking forward to my journey there.

Anyway, I am excited to step in 2014 with courage and boldness. I pray and hope for the same for all of you.

Keep rocking. Much love.

music moves #2

Someone send to me this 'paparazi' shot. Man, dangerous these days when people have hp.. Just snap whenever they want.

But what i love about this picture is the fact that everyone love music regardless how old and how young they are. I love it when i get to see how kids respond to music, so does the oldest of age folks too.

Indeed, it's a joy and blessing to be doing music. To bless someone with that gift regardless how old they are.

So... Keep playing, keep making music peeps!

Done with my Merdekarya gig. My first full featured gig there. Thanks for the support no matter in what ways.

Was quite an experience for me and grateful for the chance to perform my own songs and some covers on a public platform.

I know it wasn't easy for a lot of people to come because of the massive traffic jam around KL due to heavy rain but if you didn't come, fret not.. there's another public performance in 2 weeks at the heart of KL city..

Stay tuned for that announcement !! =)

Again.. Thanks everyone for the support..

Merdekaraya promo

Will be performing in a place called Merdekarya. It's happening on Thursday night 830pm 10th October. 

https://www.facebook.com/events/1423957674482285/?ref=22

Would appreciate if you able to RSVP your attendance, love to see everyone there! yes.. i mean.. EVERYONE.. no matter who you are.. 

Will be performing my own songs and covers.. it's something perhaps you rarely see me doing, so you wouldn't want to miss this..

Basically it's an acoustic and more intimate performance.. so don't worry of loud rock full band music. It's more strip down and simple music..

Besides me performing as the main act, there are other acts playing before me.. come and enjoy some local music talents 

It's free admission. There's drinks and simple food there for you to order in that place. However, just some advice if you need heavy dinner, I suggest you have it before you come or eat at the mamak that is nearby the performing place because the "heaviest" meal you can find on that place is maggi goreng 

Help me to share this around, bring yourself and your friends to this gig, mark your calendar, come enjoy some acoustic music!

SEE YOU THERE!

4th ANNIVERSARY

It's been 4 years since this album has been launch...

Eversince then, the album journey has been incredible. Ups and downs, meeting new friends, seeing how people are blessed and at the same time, being blessed by them.

The heart of THIS ROAD is about journey in life. Life is full of decision and sometimes we need a step of faith to make decisions as it shape every aspect of our life.

The album has very much chronicle my heart as I learn the journey in life and hope it encourage people at their point of their life as they go through it.

My favourite song is still gotta be "Lost in love/amazing grace". One of the first song I recorded for the album, it pretty much set the tone for the album. God's grace is always enough for us even when we feel we are so inadequate. I remember writing this song.. right after my devotion time.. reflecting how God's grace has brought me this far in life.. and indeed it still does.

That's why till today this song is still special in my heart.

Anyway, a big thank YOU firstly to God, for without Him, none of this is possible. Secondly to everyone out there.. family, friends, fans... your life have been a blessing and inspiration to me. Thank you all for your encouragement throughout this journey.

Cheers. Here's to more albums and songs :)

CYW school gig 180613

Had a great time with Change Your World crew at Bukit Bintang school. Glad to be given the opportunity to be part of a crew that create awareness about modern day slavery/human trafficking.

At the same time, let me introduce a special person..


This is Kelvin Lim, founder of Change Your World movement. He is a businessman, well-known local music producer and once was a part of the Joshua Race band. Such an honour to partner with this man in the cause of creating awareness about modern day slavery & human trafficking. I enjoyed every moment of our partnership and we will keep going like what their phrase says "engaging creativity to save lives"..

That is what we all believe in.. using what we have to create an impact in our community!

never once

I am sitting down right now thinking and reflecting about my life.

At this point of my life, yea, who wouldn't..

Life is always full of ups and downs. Sometimes I am thankful for my life, sometimes I regret some things that happened or I'd done. Sometimes I wished I could have done things better, turn back the hands of time. Sometimes I feel as though I wouldn't want to trade the moments I have with anything else. Sometimes I feel blessed. So yea, there were good times and tough times.. times I really asking myself why i am doing this and times where I felt this is where God wants me to be.

So that got me thinking.. some moments of your life really defines you.

And sometimes it breaks my heart and bring tears to my eyes.

When I decided to do what I am doing right now, man, it's really a step of faith.

Yesterday I got to be alone in my church sanctuary for awhile and look back how my life have unfold. It's been one crazy adventure when I told the Big Man.. "alright.. You bring me into this.. let's see how far we can ride.."

Even though sometimes I don't have everything, but I believe I m rich in my God.

I just realized this year I faced lots of challenges which makes me asked God "what's going on?" This year have been a different level of toughness for me. I mean like seriously. There are many times I just feel like throwing the towel. Part of me then realized, perhaps God is working out something..

That makes me feel like God is encouraging me and affirming me about my life. I admit there are struggles but through struggles, it helps in building up our characters and shaping who we are.

All in all, I don't regret this life I choose.

Passion is one thing that drives me on. I cannot say it any louder than that.

One verse that always drives me is Matthew 16:26 - "What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?" 

I thank God for watching over me. Never once He leave me alone.

I thank God for every person I met in my life. I mean every person.

On this day, my birthday wish is that everyone will discovery their meaning to life, to pursue the dreams of your heart. =)

Can I encourage everyone reading this, whether you are young or old, pursue your dreams. I never regretted doing that one bit. Sometimes things work out, sometimes there are struggles, sometimes it might take time.. but never stop doing it. Live life to the fullest. Okay, it may seems simple to say.. but remember through struggles, we grow, we learn.

Thank you very much for all the wishes. I try my best to reply them. It's overwhelming. I want to reply them.. seriously.. although some people will tell me don't waste time doing it. I want you all know I value them very much.

Your love and your support encouraged me to fight on.

Cheers. Much love.
