Rentak Sejuta's review

This came as a huge surprise for me.

Basically my 2nd album THE DAY AFTER received a recommendation on this local music website. Just say it's like our local "Rolling Stones" which covers the local music scene.

What an exciting news before 2018 comes! Only the Big Guy up there can make all this possible. Yes, I believe 2018 is gonna be awesome =)

Yup, stay tuned with my social media for the updates especially my music page Tim Lim.

Credit to you both Jonathan Tse Tinn Vai and Darren Teh for making all this a reality.

Best part of the article : even my wife got mentioned. hahaha.

2018 gonna be epic

bye bye Frontera

A post shared by Tim Lim (@timlim12) on Dec 27, 2017 at 8:39pm PST

#throwbackthursday to my last gig of the year and also the last time that I am standing on this lovely stage of Frontera, as it’s gonna cease its operations by 2018.

This place is special to many indie singer-songwriters as its platform is where we all started. I can testify to this as it helped me to craft my skill as performer, at the same time, forge many friendships in this place, which many are wonderful people that I know in the Malaysian music scene.

And I will never forget the food and drinks there. So as we said our goodbyes here, it’s not an end to an era but looking forward , I believe there’s great things ahead for all of us. Including you Ramesh , thank you for allowing us to be there and your hospitality.

Yes, I guess I will see around in some of @openmicmalaysia venues. 2018 is gonna be awesome, in terms of everything.

A post shared by Open Mic Malaysia (@openmicmalaysia) on Dec 26, 2017 at 6:54am PST

Nice caption there by Open Mic. Loved it. I guess that's what my music is all about =)

2017 recap

A post shared by Tim Lim (@timlim12) on Dec 25, 2017 at 10:29pm PST

2017 have been an interesting yet wonderful year, in terms of my music project.

Looking back, I realized this year I actually performed a lot in public platform.

I looked at it as a blessings from God because I had opportunities to meet new friends and share what my life is all about. I actually kinda amazed by their responses and all of these are valuable encouragement to me. In fact, each venue I’ve been have always brought new lessons for me.

I am happy with what I achieve this year. Apart from playing in various venues, i had the opportunity to witness other people singing the song I wrote, having my songs on podcast and laying foundation for more of my songs to be broadcast or stream online.

I am not resting on my laurels yet because there is so much to improve and learn.

But nevertheless, so much to give thanks and so much to look forward.

Can’t wait to share with you that 2018, there’s exciting things coming up. This means i need a lot of your prayers and support. So, please stay connected with my music project social media updates so you don’t miss out.

Huge cheers to you all for a great 2017. Next year will be awesome!

triple threat

A post shared by Tim Lim (@timlim12) on Oct 29, 2017 at 6:38am PDT

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.

Till the next one, cheers to ya all!

A post shared by Tim Lim (@timlim12) on Oct 26, 2017 at 6:55pm PDT

Can you believe it? 300 days have come and gone, with 2018 is coming soon.

Each day have given me an opportunity to be grateful for things around me even though there were some tough days. It’s easy to be thankful when things are good but what is our attitude when things aren’t going the way it supposed to be? 

That being said, I am thankful for all the blessings and opportunities that happened so far in many areas of my life. Believing that the best is yet to come.

This weekend, let’s celebrate life together, starting tonight at #soundstrucklive

8th anniversary of THIS ROAD

WOW.

8 years.

8 might be auspicious for Asian context but like I always say, anniversary always gives me the opportunity to look back and be thankful for everything.

I think over the past 8 years, I have said my "thank you"s and sharing thoughts about my journey as singer-songwriter a lot already. The message would be the same though this year, but to be honest I wouldn't be at where I am today without your love, support, advice, pushes, pain, tears and prayers. Like anyone else, I always struggle with a lot of thoughts and sometimes it takes a lot out of me to stay strong. Also, thanks to all of your kinds words that keeps me going on. That being said, as long as I have life, I will give my best.

In an ideal world, I would wanna do a party or do something crazy to mark the anniversary. Actually more of thanking you all so much for everything. Maybe someday it will happen, but in the crazy world of uncertainties, everyday I learn to trust God for the best, and He will always provide.


So cheers for 8 years of THIS ROAD and hopefully, THIS ROAD will be a journey that will never end.

5th anniversary

A post shared by Tim Lim (@timlim12) on Jul 21, 2017 at 4:40am PDT

Can't believe it's been 5 years since the 2nd album was out -- "the day after".

Quite appropriate that my song TODAY was aired last week in a local podcast.

There was so many tears and sweat involved. There was so many joy and gratitude involved too.

Looking back, I believe all is worth it even though there's a lot of things happened behind the scenes, especially stories and testimonies. This journey has never short of hardwork and heartaches. 

Perseverance has always been the key for me.
 

My encouragement to you all, no matter which path you are in, stay strong and pursue your God-given dreams with faith and hope. 


As much as today's news have been overwhelmed by the passing of Chester Bennington, it's a reminder that life is short and we should spread love instead of hate.

His talent are among those who inspired the singer-songwriter like me and I pray these albums and songs will inspire more people out there that life is worth living.

It has been an incredible journey since and I want to thank all of you for the love shown. Looking forward to greater things ahead.

Greater things are 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.

12.06

I think this picture best captures what's my life is all about -- loving God, loving life, loving music, loving MU.

I admit there are days where I literally forgotten how old I am. Maybe because there's so many exciting things in life. Maybe there's a lot things happening around me. Maybe I am trying to take life as it is. Maybe I been spending a lot of my time with young people.

So, I guess it's good that I am reminded how old (or how young) I am. At the same time, I am always reminded that God is always faithful and good.

No matter what the future holds, I believe the best will come.

There's a Switchfoot song that goes like "life is short, i want to live it well". It's true, life is too short to spend on negativity so let's get the positive vibes going. It's not being naive but knowing that we can make it through life when we stay strong.

Thank you all for the love on my birthday. Cheers and much love to ya all.

post-FEB-gig

A post shared by Tim Lim (@timlim12) on Feb 28, 2017 at 12:45am PST

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!

Cheers.
