MGD Tim's Thoughts -- MICHAEL



With the recent trend of biopic movies, no surprise that the King of Pop needs to be part of that conversation. However, with the "standard" of such biopic movies (such as Bohemian Rhapsody, Better Man, Rocket Man).. this biopic couldn't reach that heights set.

While the movie is driven by upbeat and groovy music, the story-telling feels flat. Yes, we see glimpses of his early life but a lot of scenes happened too quickly till as audience, you have to catch the details or story plot fast. Fair to say, there's so much going on about MJ so they tried to squeeze all into a movie. Despite that, I am not saying this is a disaster movie. There are still things to enjoy.. especially having MJ's real-life nephew playing MJ is like spot-on casting. Everything he did mirror MJ, especially his mannerism and even, the stage performance. Of course, that's MJ's songs too, which all showcase what a musical genius MJ is.

It's a movie which every MJ fan will enjoy, and musicians (like me) would appreciate. Like it or not, MJ is one of a kind talent that this world has ever seen, which I believe no one can deny.

Not the best, but not that bad (pun intended).

Michael premiere

During Monday lunchtime, a secondary classmate of mine suddenly messaged me.

After a few exchanges, he asked me if I would be up for movie and it’s the Michael Jackson biopic movie. As someone who loves movie and music, I couldn’t say no. What a pleasing surprise.

I will give my review/thoughts (on movie) in details later la.

But i left the movie with the feeling and reminder of how music can give us wings to fly and express ourselves. That’s why we love music, and do music.

Thank you #MichaelMovieMY#UIPMalaysia for the tickets.

Ipoh my home

 


I was walking in my hometown church area and I saw this.

Firstly, I am surprised that this is still here even after so many years. Seeing this brings back lots of childhood memories when the little boy Tim was running around here freely with fellow kids and let our imagination run wild (when we play game of tag). Probably everyone at my age can relate to this.

Each time that I go back to Ipoh, I always reflect about my life and my journey. How some things has changed, how some things remain the same. How everything has shaped us to be where we are today.

As life goes on, we can only try to bottle up these feelings and be grateful for what life have given while be hopeful for coming days.

How time flies. But Ipoh is always home. Food satisfies physically and emotionally too.

1 year of SELAH

 

𝟏 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐒𝐄𝐋𝐀𝐇 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞.

It’s always been on my bucket list to do a worship album/release so to finally do it last year is a blessing because it’s such songs that inspired me to be who I am today and shaped my spiritual life.

The concept of this album is different from the EPs and albums that were released over the years, as these are worship songs that I’ve written out of that space of personal devotion. These songs are never about me but about the One who has given us life

Enjoy the songs here :- https://open.spotify.com/album/74gcmIU97fEEaD5OIaIkWm?si=pMxNmnOURrmFgxwEykAdsQ

Be blessed by this album as it turns 1 year old.

Maybe a sequel down the road someday.... 🫣
