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.
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.
Best part of these events is that I am not alone. I am sharing the
stage with all these awesome acts so it’s something you shouldn’t miss
out.
Now, i really hope to see you at any of these events or
better still, at all of these events. You have no excuses not to show up
at any! Hahaha. Check my fb page for more details!
October have been lit and it will be even more so in days to come.
Thank
you Penang for the wonderful food and platform for music. Thank you Kim Haus for hosting my gig. I would love
to go back there again and perform, perhaps to more places as well. See
you all again!
Another gig at Playspace, that means another episode for TLog!
Yours truly had the privilege to be among the acts that involved in this music festival which headlined by Pacific (from Australia). It was an awesome night of music, unfortunately I was tired to stay the whole day, thus the video was till Pacific act :S
Anyway, big kudos to Darren Teh (of An Honest Mistake) for organizing it and all the acts that did awesomely.
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
I am pumped that next week, I will be sharing the stage with some of the best of the best in local music at Playspace LIVE.
I am doing full band again so you gotta come and hear us out. The
rehearsals are incredible and looking forward to a fun day out.
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.
Come join me, @tneksim and @relentband in bringing some Christmas cheer in @groundeatery! Come for great food and music!! More details, please checkout their fb page.. so see you there!!
Another interesting thing happening on this Saturday during Luminous event.
From 8pm onwards in the main hall, there will be "lights and music" event. Besides enjoying the wonderful light decorations and Christmas feel, there are some live music happening as well. I will be singing some songs with these two talented girls @gracepang16 and @loqiai performing as well. I will be at the start and the end of the show, then Rebecca taking 930pm slot while Grace is singing from 1030pm. So, come hear us singing live while the light show going on.
SpeakFreely open mic #3
on October 10th and Frontera on 18th with many awesome indie
performers. So come and hear us out.
Then on 27th October, I will be the
featured act on the revamped Barlai venue gig called Barlai Indie
Galore (or simply called B.I.G which is a clever reference to the Barlai's mother company)
I could do a few new songs that I wrote lately and would love you all
to hear it live so I can gather some feedback! Of course, perhaps some
new covers to do.. along with the usual setlist that includes a few
fan-favourite songs.
So come hangout at this places. Mark these
dates at your calendar and come! These places have wonderful F&B
too. I will be bringing some of my albums to sell (or giveaway if you
are nice to me)
Exciting things are ahead. All warmup towards 2017 -- ya, especially when I am getting married soon. Hahaha. Cheers.
But all in all, can't wait to share more about what's ahead. However, when the time comes, you will know.
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.

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..
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!
=)
