sam : Together, 3 of us plus you all (i hope) enjoyed last night. We definitely enjoyed the company of mlbians! Our 2nd time at SHA le.. I was telling myself, we'll just go there, relax and do good show. But when i was seated on the little white stool on stage facing fellow performers and so much more seasoned ones like Eason whom we super respect, i was nervous. Haha. I don't know how to describe totally my feelings, i was BLUR-ed. This man is a wonderful performer. Alone on the big stage, 3 songs he did, in 3 different characters, he brought out perfect vocals fitting to the song in all of them. INSPIRING! Heh.. You know i've always enjoyed canto pop, would have been a bonus if he did one too. And i still know i still know, we've got more more rooms for improvement. So let us work hard together man!!For now since its a public holiday tomorrow, i'm giving myself a break. Going to JB for a walk later!! See ya there!
weiqi : Ok, i upload one photo first heh heh...i shook mr Eason's hand and said...:" You're damn good man!". yup.. that's what i said, in english yesh.. hahaha.. power la he... MLBIANS WAN SHUI WAN WAN SHUI! u put us at #7!!! u all steady la... Just read the article from xin dong wang..whoa.. the 3 of us are really honoured to have him commend our band. Another rare precious moment of an instance whereby a much much BIGGER brother(in the industry), encourages us... makes us wanna cry... but hold back the tears, and push on with such encouragement. THANK YOU MAN... u rock... hope Eason knows that we are really encouraged by his words.UPDATES!!! THIS SAT, 1NOV, Around 7pm@VIVO CITY, roadshow by HOTA. MLB performing!!! Mlb not going for tv anniversary le, this just in too.
nic : Alamak.. i zhao sia.. but anyways.. the stress was darn high yesterday.. all the biggies there.. and we did dangerous arrangements of the songs.. but heng ar.. quite ok la hor... wow.. thanks to all that came.. thanks to all that didnt but watched tebee.. thanks to all that didnt come, didnt watch tebee but wanted to do either or both... got heart can le ma!! Was hard to breathe.. when came off stage i was like woooooooooooooooohoooooooooooo hardugey say say say say!!! erhem! nah.. it was fun.. amazing.. stress.. and i was immediately converted to an Eason Fan yesterday when i saw his performance... It was soulful.. done with the heart.. amazing.. was ARGH!!!! power la he... look at his facial expression can high le.. then after that on stage shoke his hand during closing.. exchanged words.. his encouragement yesterday pushes us to another level.. i mean.. of all ppl that were there.. he mentioned 3 average looking soon-to-become-men.. average performers.. average musicians.. with their simplistic acoustic songs - milubing... to comment.. to remember.. all i can say is i'm touched.. and thank him many-many.

Yesterday's sound may not have been the best it could, but we really enjoyed performing. =) I've learn that it isn't easy, especially for bands to have a perfect sound. Not an excuse, but we'll always do our best on stage and hope for the best.

mlb's stuff from MLBians :
nic : Just woke up.. been slping non stop!!...It was amazing... to be able to sign something we really call our own. It really felt great.. Hearing you guys sing.. Hearing the cheers that will resonate in my head for the next decade. It wasn't many people, but the people that were there really screamed their lungs out. The many familiar faces that we didn't see that day were missed.. shan't name them.. but i know deep in my heart they wanted to be there but couldn't make it. We know their hearts were there :) One more qian chang hui to go. We gonna have fun, and hope you guys would have fun with us again, singing, screaming, cheering this humble lil band that you guys have pulled through with for 2 yrs odd and running. Continue to run with us... our muscles are tired, but the spirit ain't weary just yet. We gonna go a long distance before we finally reach our finish line. Hope that there'll never be a finish line till we see "the wooden walls".weiqi : Great day today. though full of unforeseen hiccups, but super happy and an emotional event for the 3 bros.. and u all (MLBIANS) played a huge role in making this event a success.. really glad u all made the effort to come..this round is a bit short(2songs) but the next one will be much longer(we will request k? heh heh) in fact this round we tried le but becos the event was meant to 'da' the first 2 songs. Even though the turn out was not uber fantastic, but the warmness was there, the family reunion feeling was back ;) and i dunno if u all realised, we were more at ease today (except for the XY$%& hardware failure which caused poor JunLi to try to find for more topics to talk about)..no choice, not enough $$. When we got more $ then we'll buy a more stable sound card ;) Once again, thanks for queuing up, buying the album, singing at the top of your lungs with us.. and most importantly, for showing the love!!! to those mlbians who couldn't make it, don't worry k? we understand that the timing can be quite hard for some studying and some working on sats.. so no worries.. let's see each other for this coming FRI!!! TAKE CARE PEEPS.. and thanks for the cards and gifts!!!sam: Even though said many times already, i still wanna say THANK YOU, to each and everyone of you who support the 3 of us. At times i'll ask myself, what have we done to deserve such care and concern from you people. Its amazing. I'm really touched..As i opened up the gifts, i see the effort and thoughtfulness in them. You actuallly get us stuff that are really useful for us. Thank you. And i am truly encouraged by the cards and letters i've received. No worries, i've moved on. I'm not the best person i can be now (in all aspects), i will learn along the way.
Cheers!

Green, pink and white - The Stuff.
Grey- The "grey" Analogy.
Rules.
Rules are man-made, man-said, man-implemented.
Why abide to them?
Reasons:
-Consequences
(implemented by external authorities, man or nature. Gravity says "Lego blocks will fall by my law of gravity!")
-Conscience
(implemented by ourselves "It looks ugly/it is not; i stole a block from my friend to build this, am I $%^&*?")
-A sense of living life by a value system
(Paradigms built like Lego blocks continueously since young "Aha! New block! Aha! New colourful blocks i found! Aha! Let me stack them this way.. nice! No... ugly!.. This way sure fall.. no it won't it will stand! I made the right choice!)
-Implanted habits that have become fixed mindsets
(Lego blocks must be stacked upwards not dioganally or sideways "Up and up! Taller it grows! Sideways? Nah.. Other directions not nice.. upwards make it tall!! hmm... Tried something weird like this back then anyways.. it fell.. try odd directions and structure again?.. sure fall, don't take risk.. Don't waste time.. build it upwards.. sure stand.")
My rule - "The Exception Rule"
(I'm making my Lego building go up and up and up and up, it can only go up. It looks generic, like any other Lego buildings people built around me. Yet I want it different. Can it be? OK!! An exception I will make! I want it built downwards, sideways or sprial while going up at the same time! Anyway it can be rebuilt if i made mistakes! Slowly take this piece out.. dismantle my building a bit, tough... may fail.. but it be worth it yes? If I persist all the way? yea.. But I'ld be mocked at, people will say I'm different, they'll avoid me, say it's ugly though I'ld think it's an artwork I believe in and love.. Or it may turn really out ugly.. redoing's a chore.. hmm...)
Every rule can be overuled and an exception can be made if thought through carefully, NOT breaking personal belief systems and principles (which in them ironically partly consist of other/another set of rules).
Risks and prices to pay of being different are high. The Lego building may collapse while removing that small block which many years of hardwork put in gone down with the Laws of Gravity. People may jeer thinking it's ugly. You may have the most beautiful and unique Lego building in your eyes. Or the direct opposite, you may experience total failure.
Start questioning yourselves.
What do you want.
Rules are man-made. Make your own exception rule today. Be Yourself and express.
LEGO ROCKZ
:) Broke the colour code rule of this blog.. yes ah ... love it. Shall continue with a post regarding the topic "why we chose rules" after ya guys digest, burn, stir in water and drink this. yea...

hao lian not hao lian.
i try keep it simple. simple words.. but pls do my post a favour.. deep thoughts.
haiz.
wun speak up for myself or him. or anyone else.
who is to judge the definition of proud? To one it might be confidence. To another may be high pride that it seems hao lian.
its all up to perception..
sometimes u aint feel too good.. u wanna keep quiet. ppl say u dao.
sometimes u feel hao lian ppl say u dao. which is equals to hao lian.
so who are we to judge? are u the person?
we can just say the person seems like that. but we never know.
but u are ur own judge for ur own point of view. i wun say anything to sway anyone's mindset to say any one of us 3 is humble or dao or whatever u think we are.
actions speak for themselves.. at times when there aint no actions.. there are reasons. or are there?
in life.. we can only judge ourselves. we must not let others' expectations be upon us. we must never try to be who we are not.
Let me be me. i am who i am. let conscience and the heart guide the way.
be brave to accept who we ourselves are and change who we have become.
For a better tml. for a better "ME".
: )
guys.. life is short.. live to the fullest without regrets of changes that shouldnt be or actions that shouldnt been taken.
lotsa love..

(More) sorry :(Firstly, when we reached mediacorp, as u all know, we were in Jasmin's car. We had to go straight to work(setting up equipment and do make up, hair and get dressed) because we were going to kai chang(open the show). I suggested to the guys that we go to the radio gate after our make up and hair was done but by the time we were done and we wanted to come out, we were informed that the audience were already moving in and were at the car park...so we figured that u guys would already be in the studio.
Later @ night, i guess u all saw that 'gan chiong' face of mine, cos i had to make sure the keyboard could be heard(there was an issue with the keyboard, thank God it worked eventually) so i was shouting to the sound men to let me know if they were receiving a signal(such an issue is really due to an event such as SB, because there are so many bands, and u have to move the equipment band after band chop chop, fyi our segment, cheng shu, only had a 2 min interval!!!)... and then sway sway, nic couldn't hear the timing from sam, and thus both were playing on a different beat, thus i HAD to stop the song and restart. so i had a double heart attack...
thankfully, both nic and sam reacted really calmly to the situation.(i'm glad that i haven't got a complaint sms from production team for this hiccup..glad that they understand)
Then we had that horrible interview whereby i couldn't hear what Zhen Rong was asking(but after watching the replay,i found out that the question was directed to sam not me) and i had to answer out of the blues when @ backstage our manager already briefed us that i would not speak tonight and that there are 2 mics, so 1 for nic, 1 for sam... damn it, caught off guard. I didn't even know the question in the 1st place... so paiseh...
Then, we packed all our stuff and got up the van. Nic took another person's car cos it was on the way to boonlay more shun lu. Now as the van approached the radio gate, I asked the in-charge(to the in-charge: pls don get offended by this post, i have nothing against your decision, just that i feel very sad and have to write out how i'm feeling and i owe the mlbians an explanation at least, no offence to u ya?) that we alight for a while to talk to u guys(in fact i already told the driver to stop for a while) but orders from above and beside were to proceed on. I was very upset..saddened by this move, because usually i will make sure that we get down, but this time i was on my own so i got overwritten. Regarding this issue, it's kinda sensitive, cos there's no right/wrong, there are a lot of reasons for/against coming out of the van to meet all of u. I understand and respect this fact, but my view has always been the same, don't want to view you all as fans, but the whole bunch as a big warm family (I love how we try our best to give each other the mutual respect to create a kong jian for closer communication). Still, i gotta say sorry, that despite all the effort and time u mlbians put in today, we didn't get to just chat. That's why i had a YU GAN, and i asked the guys to gather near the moshpit, if u all rmbr, wanted u all to get some photos at least in case of any unfortunate incident..like tonight... :(
p.s. to those who were shouting our names and if we didn't look at u it's not cos we dao k? :p It's cos time was tight and we had to tweak our settings because they were always screwed up due to plugging in and out of wires..
thank you all, for making the effort to come down,to prepare those shiny boards(so niceee!!!), to learn the songs and sing along, to wait outside the radiogate not knowing what time we'll come and whether we'll be able to chat for a while. Rest assured that I'll always, as least, ask that the bus stops. but if it doesn't then i'll have to go through this sad thing again.. :(
Gotta face the world tomorrow again as i transform back to my other role of a student. Hope u all understand..i really wish that i didn't need to dampen spirits here..no such intention. Just sharing how i feel with my extended family. Take care peeps. Goodnite to all of you.
thanks for reminding me LK, when i say family, i'm refering to ALL mlbians, whether present or not tonite (becos tics are hard to get and schedules are never easy to match). see u all on saturday ba..
[fyi...]Also there was another hiccup...in fact 2 more... when we were unloading the equipment after we left MDC, we couldn't find our mixer! so we rushed back to MDC and xing kui TVT's B4 door was still unlocked and the box was sitting in the corner where we left it :(
Also, one of our colleagues was holding on to a mesh cap but when we were leaving she passed it to me and i was like,"eh? mickey mouse cap? that's not mine leh.." jialat... but after thinking for a while, i figured it must have been diya's! not mine! she made a little mistake la.. so gao xiao, and called diya up to double confirm..diya sounded happy on the phone.
