Hello Twenty-10

Time sure flies by pretty quickly as it felt that just not too long ago, I was counting down to the millenium on Dec 31st, 1999 at Subang airport's runway .

Still remembered vividly that it was some really cool clubbing event happening on the runway itself and how much we were all anticipating the millenium bug to cause great havoc on computers around the world. That was then.....

Here I am 10 years later, at Genting's New Year's Eve Party

The usual scenic spot became an outdoor dance floor for the nite

As party-revellers countdown to the stroke of midnite, I did not only witness some 'invisible' fireworks, but also  zombies coming out to 'play'.

Anyway, check out what I meant by the invisible fireworks =)

Hope u all had an eventful countdown to the new year!

2010 & Beyond

Here we are on last day of 2009. Wouldn't say it's the best year, coz there's more to come but it's definitely been a remarkable one.

There's a whole load of things and people to thank God for being a part of my life this year and that I'm truly grateful for all of you.

On the music side of things, 2009 marked a milestone as I'm blessed with opportunities to session for artiste and play at some huge music events. Felt so honored to be on stage with such accomplished people in the industry.

Here's some pix that highlights the happenings over the past year.

Looking forward to accomplish more in the coming year, so here's wishing everyone be blessed in all you do and have a
fabulous 2010

On Stage : An Honest Mistake at Rock The World 9 Concert

The largest Rock Concert in our land is back!

It's Rock The World 9 and I'm honored to session for one of the best Indie bands around; An Honest Mistake

This has also gotta be the largest gig that I've played at so far. Mind you, it's held at Bukit Jalil Stadium.... the huge outdoor carpark to be exact.

Anyways, here we are on stage before it poured down like dino's and rhino's.

Playing songs from the bands original compositions, 'I'm Down With You, If You're Down With It', This Song Is So Random, I Don't Know Why(currently on Xfresh,Traxx and Hitz.FM) and the band's latest - Collision.

That's me on the synth before it got 'baptized' by the rain.

Thanks to the band for having me in this gig and to all the tech crew and photographers. You guys were amazing!

Star Live Concert & Hannah Tan's Charity Christmas Concert

Here's some snippets of the 2 concerts that happened back to back the past week.


First it's was the Star Live Concert at Bukit Jalil Stadium.

Featuring Taiwan and local acts with the likes of Richie Ren, Valen Tsu, Kelly Chen, Alex Fong, Vangie Teng, Liu Li Yang & Suki Low, it was definitely one star-studded concert for fans of mando-pop.








The very next day, it was our very own Hannah Tan's Charity Christmas Concert.

Held at the Gardens Ballroom, this charity concert is staged for the underprivileged kids, where guests who are attending this event are required to bring a gift for the kids in exchange for an entry pass to the concert.

Check out the video featuring performances by Liang, Remy & Sam of Innuendo, Dennis Lau & Hannah herself.

On Stage : An Honest Mistake at MYC Battle Of The Bands 2009

I was invited to session for An Honest Mistake at MYC's Battle Of The Bands event held last weekend at Sunway.


Shared the stage with other amazing bands like Bus Company, Car Crash Hearts, OAG, and DragonRed just to name a few.
So here we are...at the venue:

An Honest Mistake on stage

As the schedule was a bit delayed, it's all good timing as when it was our turn to rock the place, it was already dusk and we played to a stage of full lightings and of course a full-house crowd.

View from the stage just seconds before we start.

Barack Obama in Seremban!?

So I was at this new KFC outlet in town just now trying to get a quick bite




Being Seremban.......its like the whole 'kampung' comes out when there's something new....yeah...including myself.

Took me a lenghty 55 mins to get to my turn.... which I only realized later that its all coz of this guy

Did u see it? No?

It's Mr.Barack Obama on duty!

FAIL!

This Is It ...the concert that never came...

Over 70 of us went for the screening of Michael Jackson's curtain-call performance at GSC Mid Valley last Sunday.

Showing rehearsal footages of his 50 sold out concerts at the o2 Arena, London, it looks like everything was in place and fine-tuned to perfection for this concert that never happened.

They've even re-shoot the MTV for Thriller in an all new digital-animation form. Songs from the past has also been reworked and sounded like a current hit not forgetting the seasoned-pro musicians in the band of which one truly stood out:

Orianthi Panagaris - Electric Guitarist for MJ

Orianthi is of an Australian-Greek parentage and had the opportunity to play with legends like Steve Vai at 15, and Santana when she was just 18! Read all about Orianthi here

Anyway, here's some of the pix we took:

Me, Juwita, Liang and my bro - Leonard






Joanne & Shawn Lee the beatbox guru







Here's one with Wan Chean and gang

My cousins

This is one concert which the world had missed that would showcase how much of a legendary performer MJ is. His passing is defintely a big loss to the world that he has inspired and loved so much.
