welcome to the year of the Tiger..

Greetings everyone..

I know lately we been quiet a bit but in the midst of the noisy firecrackers, let me take this opportunity to wish everyone here a prosperous Chinese New year and also Valentine's day.

I guess it's another chance for us to begin 2010 with a bang so I pray all of you will be blessed in everything that you do this year.

Before I close, I m sure some might be asking what's next for TL project, since the last gig was in KK in December. March, there may be two spots so stay tuned for more information. Another visit back to Ipoh again might take place in few months time and on 1st May 2010, I will be part of my KL church's 2nd album launch. At the same time, been pressing myself to write new materials. Hopely this can lead me to see how the direction of the next album will turn out, but let me focus on promoting this 1st material/album finish.

This Road is still available so please promote it as much as possible.

I will keep everyone updated but for now, have a great year of the Tiger ahead!

Much love.

40th entry of the blog

Greetings, hope your 2010 have been fruitful so far..

If you notice that on your right screen where it use to be the playlist of some of my songs are there but now it's missing. Oh well, something wrong with Imeem.com which resulted the list is not there. So if you are looking for preview and looking to listen some songs from me, you have to dropby at my MySpace site for the time being. Sorry for any inconvenience caused.

Just a reminder that my CDs are also available in Gladsounds. Currently, it's only around KL so far so if you want to get the CDs, go to any Gladsounds branch in KL. For Perak, you can contact St Peter Church's Ipoh while in Sabah, All Saints Cathedral is the place you can search for the CD.

There might be some gigs in March so stay tuned for further announcements. Till then, will be busy writing new materials and also busy with my music ministry at Faith Christian Centre.

Will keep in touch with you guys then. Much love.

Tim Lim's Album Tour & Diocesan Youth Camp

4th to 11th December 2009
by Timothy Lim

From 4th December until 11th December, I led a team from FCC to Kota Kinabalu on a tour to two churches; then subsequently joined the annual Diocese English Youth camp. We embarked on this journey to promote FCC to the youths and also to impact the next generation.

We visited the youth fellowship of two churches in Kota Kinabalu - Good Samaritan and All Saints' Cathedral - where we joined them for worship and icebreakers while using songs from my debut album as a tool to share with them. As bridges were built, we eventually joined them for fellowship and hung out with them.

Next on the agenda for us, after touring those two churches was the Diocese English Youth camp. We were told this is the biggest attendance ever for the camp - about 335 plus campers! Of course, being in the camp allowed us and the youths from all over the Sabah Diocese to know each other better through the fellowships and programs. The theme of the camp is called DIG DEEP, where everyone was given an opportunity to study the Gospel of Mark and all of us learned how to dig deep into God's word together. Apart from that, we also led worship in a few sessions and it was really a great experience to see youths getting passionate about worshiping God - whether they are jumping or lifting their hands to Him.

Overall, we had a great time in Kota Kinabalu, ministering and fellowshiping with the youths. We sincerely thank everyone who has supported us in this tour especially in prayer. We also want to appreciate the hospitality that was given to us by the Diocese, Good Samaritan church and All Saints' Cathedral.

Lastly, I would like to close this sharing with a Bible verse from Ecclesiastes 12:1a - "Remember your Creator in days of your youth" - a clear reminder for us all to continue to fix our eyes on God in everything that we do.

Much love.

story behind the song : you remind me

It's quite some time I type something here..

Love to take some time to share some stories about some of my songs off the album THIS ROAD.

Based on some feedbacks I received, most came to me and said they love the track YOU REMIND ME. Therefore, I love to share the story about this song and what is all about.

Tell me, have you been in situation where when you were hanging out with friends, having chats and laughs then someone randomly tells you, "Man, you remind me of my home town friend who talks/laugh/act like you." Or when you do something, then someone commented the way you do it reminds them of their father, uncle, friend, neighbour, teacher.

That thought basically forms the gist of the song YOU REMIND ME.

I composed this song nearly 3 years ago when I was still studying in university. I was sitting down one day in my room and thinking about all the friends I made over the past 20 years of my life. Some way in another, some of these friends have left an impression on you. Sometimes when you walk on the street, when you see a stranger or make a new friend, or the things that people do, perhaps they could remind you of the friends you have. Or when you are in a situation, you could remember someone because you went through that situation before.

It is in the chorus part I reflect on the fact that all of us are blessed with friends around us no matter where we are or at what stage of life we are at. Perhaps there's purpose God placed them in our lives.

Anyway, I actually enjoyed recording that song and in fact, it was one of the easiest track I and Jonathan Tse(my producer friend) recorded. We arranged it very simple and nice for listeners. When I listened back, I myself enjoyed it. Just proud that I able to record a song that can show my appreciation to all the people I met over the past 20 plus years of my life.

Hope you understand the song a little bit more and would glad to share more stories about the songs I composed.

Cheers.
