Under the Dreamy Orange Light I Restrung My Guitar
July 4th, 2009 No Comments
Repetitive tasks don’t bother me, like the restringing of my guitar. Like jogging, cooking dishes, driving from A to B, even the ripping of hundreds of compact disks that I am still doing. Therapeutic activities open up space in my mind allowing me to think quietly, in the absence of the constant distractions. Just me and the [...]

Parallelism Between the Various Art Forms – And My Band Resumes Our Practice
February 16th, 2009 6 Comments
My life as such: our public performance in The Heeren – or rather the practice sessions leading to that one event – must have been draining to our band members. Three months we were in hiatus. It was the Christmas, the New Year, the Chinese New Year, and for me, much of my time has [...]

Our band photographer Mark Lim has just broadcast the photos taken during our band No Eye Candy’s 30 minutes live performance at Hereen last evening. It was his first concert shot and you have got to agree with me that these are great shots capturing the essence of our gig as well as the audience. Good [...]

The Hereen After – A Thank You Note
November 30th, 2008 16 Comments
Yes! Our band finally did it at The Hereen, a 30 minutes slot playing our own original music. I have practically put all my other plans on hold for this Nov 29 event. Being introduced as a local Singaporean band means a lot to me, though Jason the guitarist joked that my accent is not very [...]

Yet Another Road Trip, Yet Another Small Step Towards Our Goal
September 26th, 2008 4 Comments
By the time you read this, Cynthia and I may have reached PJ Malaysia to meet up with Wieke for a band practice. Nothing is going to slow us down for our November performance at the Heeren, Singapore. Not even the temporary relocation of Wieke.
I have a theory I concocted decades ago and it has [...]

Hella Good Is Hella Tough! Here Is Our Voodoo Mix
August 11th, 2008 7 Comments
I did not wake up this morning and went, “Ah, I am going to make a video blog today”. Our new drummer Wieke has made a request to play No Doubt’s “Hella Good” as she wishes to – in her own words – implement some of the ideas or techniques into our band’s materials. So [...]

Stripping My Own Song into Just Four Lines and an Orange Lit Valve That Glows Within – My First V-blog (Prelude) Episode 6
July 23rd, 2008 13 Comments
If you still don’t get it, don’t be concerned. Most don’t. I am terrible in communication. Next week the video should be out – baring any unexpected exciting events that may appear from nowhere, that I am compelled to blog about, that push my most-don’t-get-it mini-series schedule to yet another week.
After I finished working on [...]

Total Mayhem for Our Pre-Jamming Session
August 7th, 2006 No Comments
After more than half a year of freeze in our jamming session (drummer got engaged and guitarist got hitched), we proposed to resume our music creation on none other than the National Day of Singapore. Now, prior to this week, I have been practicing hard in vocal and also made readjustment to the chords. Today, [...]

Yesterday Wins The Most Fruitful Day Of The Year Award
February 25th, 2005 No Comments
I know it’s too early to give such an award but given the rarety of the occassions, I doubt – but certainly sincerely hope – that such a day keeps popping out from my life. At work, I’ve closed one project and closed one deal in record time. Basically for both meetings, cut away all [...]
