Upcoming gigs in Jan 2011!!!

Happy 2011 to everyone!!!

Many things happened after the last gig...

Liang decided to leave the band...
I appreciate him alot for his efforts and contribution for the past 3 years in the band... May we gig again one day!!! Thanx Bro!

Also, someone woke me up from my laid back lifestyle...
It hit me so hard that I made a career switch in Dec 2010 without much hesitation...
Something totally new to me...
Life has changed totally... I learn new things everyday...
More fufilling I must say, I work very hard now...
And I'm really proud of the results I've achieved for the very 1st month...
It's really amazing... Thank God for everything! I thank you as well... seriously. =)

Music, though still can't be my rice bowl... BUT, I will rock on no matter what...
I thank God for this passion and interest He has given me... I may not be the best musician and singer around, but this little talent is something nobody can ever take away from me...( except the Lord )

Band members changed and changed throughout the many years, but the only member that remain is still me...=P
I ain't gonna give up!!!


Therefore...

XXth Birthday Celebrations

Well... I think I had a blast celebrating my birthday the whole weekend... =)

Big thanx to all my friends and colleagues for all the wonderful gifts...破费了！Thx for 破费 though! Pls continue to 破费! LOL

One of my fave presents was this though...












This is my surprise cake...











I made a very special wish that nite before I blew the candles on my surprise cake ( didn't wanna get a cake, cos I tot I'm too old for all that birthday song singing etc), and I really really hope it can come true...



Lucky Draw prizes I prepared for my guests...
















Anyway, check out my performance for the guests with the band.
Very happy to have Chan Min on the guitar as well... haven't jam with him for so long! Check out some videos here:





Not forgetting my performance during the school official opening on the eve of my bdae:

Life's been good...

Been a long time since I last blogged...
Gigs aren't alot recently, but glad to be doing a few wedding gigs in the coming months, and of cos one of the big gig of the year, tomorrow evening's School Official Opening. I will be performing 3 songs... Been coughing for past 4 weeks or so! Of cos, partly my own fault of not cutting down on cold drinks as pointed out by someone... =P

Life has been good to me all this while I guessed...or should I say, God has been good to me!
That's why I had more time to be troubled over some stuff, while many pple are struggling with their jobs etc...

Having said that, time to really sit down and write some serious music for the band...
We do have plans for end of this years... gigs don't come all the time... We need to make things happen, and that is to write more music that belong to ourselves so that we can share with others!

Birthday is round the corner again... celebrations aside, it's time to think about what lies ahead... =)

Sharing some videos taken from gig at the new The Ark @ King Louis Grill & Bar at Vivocity. I realised I haven't gig for such a long time...=(
