This band is one of my local heroes.

They are one of the reasons that got me to where I am today. I believe many will testify the same. A huge inspiration to all of us local Christian artist.

I remember hearing them years ago, probably more than 10 years, and I thought to myself, man, what they do is radical. With faith and music, stepping out beyond the walls of the church to bring the message of hope which became a breakthrough in my thoughts about doing music for God.

Fast forward, I am privileged to know them personally and they are really nice people to hangout with - discussing about music and faith.

Recently they shared about their future and i guess it is part and parcel of life where God is leading them into different seasons in life. To watch them last night was a huge honour for me. Not sure when this gonna happen again but I am proud to call them my heroes and my friends.

The battle's over and we're marching on. Our time is now. . Some of you may know that @armyofthreerock was my first band before @ahmband started. I joined the band when I was 17 and left the band in 09/10. Rejoined at the end of 2014 and put out another album with them in 2016. Toured the album #Heartcore the entire year. . Over the course of 2017, there were times where we spent realigning ourselves musically, spiritually and emotionally. We've all grown in our pace and we're all in different seasons of our lives. For now, the band will no longer be performing and will be on an indefinite hiatus. I don't know if it'll ever be back again. Only time will tell. If you've supported us throughout the years, thank you. . That being said, it may be an end for Army Of Three but it may just be the beginning for you. If you have been blessed, inspired and challenged by Army Of Three to start something for the Kingdom of God, go all out. Have the tenacity and zeal that never ends. Your time is now.

My favourite song is “hope against hope”. Still my favourite even after 10 years. So glad it was played live last night.

Rock on @armyofthreerock and thanks for being an inspiration to us all. Looking forward to catchup with you all sometime soon.

forgiven seas

I wanna congratulate my friends at OneAccordMinistry for the release of the new worship album — “forgiven seas”


I am listening to it right now and totally blessed by the songs. 

I also had the honour to be involved in a small way, by writing “for you are with us” with my buddy Neil for this album. My heart just overwhelmed when I heard the live recording version. Thank you bro for allowing me to be part of what God is doing in this nation and beyond.

Meanwhile, just let you know the album is now available on Spotify, itunes and also in physical CD. Please buy the album, it’s really worth it!

All that has happened is really a dream come true for me. All glory to God

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.

Till the next one, cheers to ya all!

Catching up with #heartcore family. I love these meetings, where i get to meet with different people from different church backgrounds. What unite us is our passion and heart for God. Personally, there's so much to learn from them. I hope their passion will encourage and challenge me onwards to do great things for God. Looking forward to a great 2017 with the #heartcorefam

groundeatery gig

"Let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven" -- matthew 5:16

Apart from singing, i think it's my first time sharing about the gospel in public. It's Christmas, it's a wonderful time to share the Gospel to a world where often despair dominates the headlines.

Had a great time watching them live as I am a massive fan of this local band for some time. To hear my favourite songs from them live is any fans' dream come true.

Congrats AHM and looking forward to more from you all!

#fccgoesheartcore on Christianity Malaysia

Mum, 

I was briefly mentioned on a local Christian website. Ok, largely the article is about what's heartcore is all about. I am so honoured to be part of something that is bigger than myself.

Meanwhile, free advertisement for Faith Christian Centre since all the pictures taken from the recent #fccgoesheartcore event. And one of the songs performed that night is riding high on Hitz.fm

All glory to God, greater things are yet to come

=)

just a #heartcore testimony

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.

To God be the glory. =')
