why Xmas?

 

Why the EP is titled Xmas?

Essentially, Xmas and Christmas mean the same thing: Christ + mas = Christmas.

Wherever we are, whatever we are going through, may God grant us peace and joy in such trying times, in such season.

i dream a dream

The fact that Ed actually did this concert in a church. An Anglican church. 

And that church is led by Al Gordon, who was among those who pioneered worshipcentral
 
Things that I wanna see someday in Malaysia. The closest that I did, in my opinion, was doing "Heartcore" concert at FCC, in 2016.
 
Even that, I know some "people" who doubted me, didn't believe in what I do. It's okay, I've seen and hear doubters over and over again. But, I am thankful that I have others who made it possible, whether within or out of FCC. Also, I gained a lot of new friends too and also, sparked sort of a music passion in everyone.
 
Anyway, let's see what the future holds.

day 300 of 2021

There are days where I feel this year is kinda of a downer because I felt there are a lot of things I cannot achieve or get, but for every small things that happened, even if it means nothing to others.. it meant a lot to me and it reminds me of a loving God.

Recently, I have thoughts to fix my pavement road in front of my house. I couldn't find the right people for it, as I was waiting for right time, right people. In fact, there was once a guy came and asked, but he asked the wrong person.. which is Jackson who so happen to be in front of my house and he said he is not the owner of the property so he cannot decide. hahaha.

Then recently, the local town council decides to re-tar the whole road stretch, which includes fixing that pavement. The work looks good.

I am reminded that God understands us even though the times we feel like we are nothing or our request is petty. I admit there are days I asked Him why I can't get things or successes like others -- properties, kids, songs, ministry, etc. 

But sometimes, we just need a bit of fresh perspective, isn't it... 

I am not sure what's next in coming days but I guess I just need Him to remind me that I'm not alone...

day 293 of 2021

If anything that I observed for the past few days, it feels like life is slowly going back to some sense of "normalcy".

I know there's lots of reaction and comments to it but let me say that whatever you feel, it's fine. If you need to be out to feel sane, it's fine. If you feel staying at home is better, it's fine. Whatever you feel, yes, think for your mental health, physical health and the people around you. We face decisions everyday so weight it well and have wisdom, since God gave all of us that.

Personally, I've been out and thankfully most places that I've been to are not as crowded as pre-covid days and people are observing SOP seriously. It's something that I, especially my inner introvert side, appreciate because all is so calm and in order.

Let's not get complacent as we slowly recover. Meanwhile, life can be fleeting sometimes, so let's do what we can.

Maybe I should form a band called “the book” so you don’t judge me by my cover(s)

K la, just joking. Check out some of the covers that I've done on my YouTube :- 
 
While you are at it, please subscribe so I can hit 100 mark soon. Have a good week!

thankful tuesday // day 285 of 2021

 

Just want to take this random moment to thank everyone for supporting my music over the years — be it following me on music platform or buying, sharing and streaming it.

Pursuing this passion have not been easy (both obvious and private reasons) but it's something that kept me going in life. There are days where I am not sure how long I can keep doing this but as long as I'm able, I will do my best to bring these songs to this world.
 
Your support is never too small. However simple it is, it's means a lot to creative people like me.
 
That being said, stay tuned for end of the year...

day 270 of 2021

I lost count on times or moments where I want to give-up, but somehow when that happens, something came up and made me to not throw the towel yet. every. time. 

I am not sure how long I can play this game. That's why I try to live each day one day at the time.

Living one day at a time is not short-sighted. I know it's arguable statement in some perspective. But at the end of the day, it's just learning how to manage your life and mental health.

Here's the thing, everyone has their own battles. We try to make sense of it and sometimes I wonder do we really acknowledge the fact that we all have our own battles. Because like it or not, everyone has expectations on one another. I know I've on others, sorry to say. And I am very sure others too.

We live in times where everyone comes from different mentality and background.. you know.. boomers, gen X, gen z, millennials. 

Honestly I have no answers on how to manage everyone. Heck, I even have no answers to managing my own life. Nothing is perfect, isn't it?

But if we all can learn to be kind to one another, I think that is a good start on understanding everyone.

We just need to manage our own life because if we can't, then how can we manage other things in life?

For starters, try to find things that get you going, even if it's the smallest things in life. 

Coz we can thrive, not just survive.

focusrite

Get your focus right!

Puns aside, if there’s a purchase that worth my money this year, so far.. would be this item. It helped me greatly for recordings, doing online gigs and meetings.

Props also to @bananabot2310 for helping me to get it at affordable price! Hahaha

P.s :- just to clarify, I got this around March. Yea, during 3.3 sales. So ya, this is indeed a belated post. Hahaha

1st dose of vaccine

Gonna borrow Alicia Keys’ tune and sing THIS BOY IS ON PFIZZZZERRRRR….

On a serious note… I am thankful that I have (finally) received my first dose. The whole vaccination process was smooth. Kudos to everyone involved.

With the cases doesn’t seems to be decreasing, I do hope and pray many more, especially those have been waiting for a long time, will get their shots soon.

Here's a quick video highlights. I didn’t take a lot of pictures coz I was just focusing of getting my shot but with whatever I’ve recorded, here’s some snapshot of my vaccination journey.

Meanwhile, please take care! We will weather this storm together.

day 171 of 2021

Suddenly thought of this song. It’s a song I first hear about more than 15 years ago. Yup. Thinking back, this inspired the spark in me to be a songwriter.. like I wanna play and write songs like this…

Looking back, I’m humbled how a song can spark my life to do what I do. Anyway, I’ve been exploring back my “roots” or “soul” of my songwriting, and I’ve been busy writing new stuff. Now praying, planning and considering how these songs will be out for you to hear…

There are days that I am honestly “tired” of trying to prove myself as songwriter. I wrestled a lot with my thoughts.

But out of these wrestling, it helped me accept the harsh reality of being creative. Nevertheless, I told myself to just push and do till my last breath here

And oh, this year n years to come, I hope whatever that is coming out will cheer or inspire you. Maybe my songs won’t gain 100k streams but if that 1 stream changed someone’s life, i will take it.
 
Cheers.

P.S :- HAPPY FATHER's DAY to DADs out there!

2021 b-day post pt 2

Thank you for the wishes, prayers, food, cakes and birthday balloon.

I am full — both emotionally and my stomach.

Cheers to you all for brightening the day, in the midst of FMCO gloom.
