Glad to see you!
: Halo mlbians... thank you all who came down to give your support today... wonder if u can tell if we were kinda tired.. yup a busy and tiring week for us 3... today a weird thing happened.. usually my side of the equipment will screw up, but we 3 spent 2 whole weeks fixing it! and today, nic's equipment suddenly refused to speak!?!? 1 in a million chance! ok..maybe 1 in a 100, cos he used it maybe a hundred times at least? during practices?? so why today!? and was it just me or did we sound too soft and like cave men? so it seemed as if sam was playing too loud, but in actual fact, it was the music that was too soft. well we learn so many lessons each time there's some kind of screw up during performances.. and yup, MLB kinda like prone to such stuff.. cos band ma haha.. but well, on the bright side, wonder if u all noticed,but we set up and pack up much faster! yay! we're training to be super efficient in our build/tear down speed, required for certain events etc. and also thus allowing more interaction time with you all!!! after the gig, today we finally unwinded... as a band.... wow, so long since we just relaxed together... had to destress la, running here and there the whole week... so we had some ya kun coffee, then played an hour of "left4dead" haha..then we ate lunch, then donuts... then yup... split up for home..quite a san ren tong xing day. Miss such days le, seems like ever since we've been so busy with the band being sorta an official 'job' we have less of such time together, sometimes it is really sad, cos we are friends to begin with, that was our roots,but in a busy and cruel world, sometimes things can get at you, especially friends, it can be super painful, sleepless nites... but i guess though i missed today's sermon in church bout forgiveness and reconciliation, I do know that forgiveness and openess heals every wound, it can turn a scar into a beatiful birthmark. No matter how bad the damage, true friends can reunite and spur on a whole new and amazing journey. It won't be easy as the photo below..zoom zoom haha..more like traffic lights at every turn, but that's the whole point of the journey, dealing with the hiccups, determining how matured one is, how matured your team is. goodnite ppl, down with a flu, so no choice, have to turn in. cheers to a better tmr..
nicHelooo!!! After sounding like a caveman and us struggling on stage to hear ourselves... we're here to type some stuff yea..Been a long day.. our pick up time was like before the sunrise... anyways.. shall just speak for myself here since this is slot's been aloted for me *winkz*
Been away from stages for bout a mth now.. feels alil foreign.. its like lost my faith... kinda miss mdc.. the days whereby i get to practice ever so often.. like it anot.. sing and perform.. smile on stage no matter what happens.. the show must go on.. all this making mdcians ever so stage ready. Shan't elaborate our issues on stage today.. haha.. wei qi above elaborated le la hor... haha.. if not read 2 times oso sian rite?? keke...
I miss the stage.. realli so much.. today i just sang (a lil zhao sia forgive me la hor.. reverb was gao gao.. cant hear myself on stage somemore).. BUT.. i felt i let myself and the band down.. i did not "perform". Oh well.. good days and bad.. today was heng heng ok only haha...
BUT GREAT!!! after spending much money... (3 of us added together almost 2k).. so much sleepless nights researching.. 2 days NON-STOP fixing up the rig.. you see us with an improved rig! setup time 5 min.. tear down 5 min.. BUT SUEH SUEH TODAY guitar duno why no sound la.. sobs...BUT we seasoned le.. calm on stage le ba.. paiseh gota wait for us to start.. but the waiting will soon be over once we finalised everything.
SHOCKER FOR You guys :) what ya saw on stage.
soundcard - 1.2K
mixer - 165
macbook (zhenged) - 3k odd
guitar - 3k
guiatr pedal (guitar rig) - 800
big a** cool big screen WQ's com - 3k
cables and 2 boxes misc etc - 400
keyboard - 2k
stands 250
$13,815 was what you guys saw on stage. (mental sums, forgive the *probable errors my math suck haha)
we shant count my guitars, wei qi's big a** keyboard on stage, programs in our coms, sam's snare at hme.. TIME.
That's how much is put into the music, for us, for our loved ones, supporters (you guys), ....for passion.
It's all sweat blood stained money... thats why we're always broke. no joke. we're real people, not some star shining brightly, teeth glittering hollywoody stars... WE"RE BAND!!!! Curse of the musicians (pui... guitarist seems more cursed) But soon weiqi would be too as he goes digital fully.. (shaitz bro.. financial sunami befalling soon, hope the inflow's enought to sustain us! share share la hor...) One day maybe we'll be successful.. fully supported financially by sponsors and all who have faith in the band.. as all of you do :) have enough.. aint need to worry..
GAMBATE!!! we'll make it TOGETHER.
Thanks for coming guys... sorry to those we didnt have chance to take photos with.. were stuck at the front.. didnt mean to neglect anyone..
We'll meet soon.
(PS, read the letters, drank the drinks, loved the gift, super appreciative for the tissue. NEXT GIG YOU SEE ME BRING TOWEL)
sam :Wa.. Nic revealed the accounts.. Yea its true, our pockets are kinda empty now but its ok. Don't worry people. We're happy guys and that's most important. With supporters like YOU moving along wth us. Steady le la.. The past week, we've been brisk-walking around the IT part of town. Run here, walk there. Raining also walk. Rain water get into my precious shoes also walk. Soak their slippers also walk. In search high and low for stuff we need to buy.. Damn tired, but its worth it. We gotta improve. As usual as usual though i don't wish say as usual, our performance part can't be perfect. Nevermind, we enjoyed the little interaction and photo-taking part. And i think i looked rather silly in most pictures. I was trying to smile (closed mouth smile becos you know la) at the same time controlling myself from laughing out when our steadymama was holding the fork.
Selamat Hari Raya!
hey uncle phil, don't worry, appreciate the fact that you bought me something back from the trip... haha.. nic liked my one more heh heh.. anyways, in future dun need to spend on us la, same for everyone, we'd rather u turn up than anything else. SO pls!!! no one to sacrifice study time or $$$ for mlb k? just by supporting(physically or in your heart) is enough le... :)
MK,i dunno if your decision is rite, but i'd do the same as u. guess it's not about the decision, but the next decision. like, wat's the next step. find your passion, do the research of the industry you're going into, then dive in(with a yearning learning spirit but with careful planning!). $ is hard to come by and time is lagi expensive.
Sheena, dunno if u can see this, but jiayo ya? you're more brave than me sia, lead singer leh heh heh...
Thanks to all who came, hope u had a great time. It's just the beginning of a fun filled month!!! but then again,my schedule is as bad as my school time sigh... haha.. wellwell... DUN CARE!!! I"M GONNA WATCH BOLT NEXT WEEK BY HOOK OR BY CROOK!!! 3D glasses?!?! WOOHOO>>>
hey hey..
the vocals damn loud please.. nic's side.. jus watched the video and realised tt sam's side (drums) seemed extremely loud too. packing up's training lahh.. will get the hang of it yeahh.. haha.
yepp.. took me quite some time to actually make up my mind about it.. but yeahh, guess i shd make use of time and do things i really wanna do, instead of wasting time doing something im not interested in ba. it's tough la.. duno what the future holds but jus hope for the best yepp..
i'll ask sheena to come read! (:
tskkk. today was so rubbish luhh. i was like, half asleep throughout the event. -.-
btw niclee, i still think you look better in speccs!
takecare, get well soon! && jiayou with ur css project haha.. (:
cyahh guys soooooonn~~
hello weiqi! haha. watch Bolt using 3D glasses? Ok let me do a short ad just for u ya? hahahahaha. To watch Bolt using 3D glasses, ENG WAH suntec is the only cinema in Singapore providing such service. Ticket price will be more expensive lo. Monday to Thursdays is $12 and Weekends is $15. The price is inclusive of the glasses de rental fee, so its have to be returned but the fees is non-refundable.
haha so if u confirm wanna go there watch, tell me which day u wanna go, I WILL REQUEST TO ATTACH THERE TO WORK FOR ONE DAY. hahahahahahahaha =X
forgiveness and openness do heal the wound. but if the blood doesn't clot to heal, no matter how much "medicine" you had, it still won't heal. Same for friendship la, yes forgiveness and openness is "applied", but some people just don't learn, it's also no use. Ok I don't know what I'm talking about la. Cos recently i just felled out with someone whom i thought to be my best friend mahz (at work de). then something something happened, I hate him now ah. I thought we used to talk things out de when we fight. But it has come to a point that he will just show attitude. OR maybe I was the one showing attitude then he had enough. don't know la.
Back to the topic on forgiveness. I usually don't get angry with people for long but I won't forget the incident. Is that still considered as forgiving? lol...
Ok I don't know what I'm talking about. Damn tired. Cos I woke up very early for today and yesterday I just worked full shift mahz. just now after the gig and lunch I went back to work. Tomorrow working full again. Oh ya the performance was fun. heehee so happy to see you guys again. haha.
thanks for taking group picture with us. sorry to ma fan jasmin jie. haha.
milubing jia you. take care and cya soon =)
here're the pics as promised...

no matter what, JIAYO! :D and i believe, MLB will be a shining star with all the blood and sweat (and definately, priceless, TIME!)
cheers* and rest well ya' all :D

wheee long long post(: i thought today's performance was great eh! somehow didn't realise the too soft or too loud thing leh. sounded nicely balanced on the side i was standing... hmmm.. and very shuang to have a total of 4 songs and first time live han! yea the tear down speed this time was like whoo zooooom done! 不愧是花了2weeks to research and build.. eh the photo is simple and cool! nice! jiayous i believe you guys will meet the person who will invest in this band soon! it's always a tough start musically and financially for any musician, so hang in there and the time will come(:
Wow... such a long post but a meaningful one that came fron MLB's hearts.
No matter what, one thing I know for sure is: I have supported the right band; a band that I like MOST and have confident in their passion for producing GREAT MUSIC for everyone. :)
I also believe that MLB can climb to a better height if your music is introduce to Taiwan, Hongkong, China & perhaps Japan. So, don't worry too much for the money you guys have spent. You shall earn them back in no times. Yea, you will de.
weiqi,
Don't worry too much for the money spent for the gift. Just wanna share with you guys for my trip. O.. Nic prefer your ones huh? Thought he should have likes the more fanciful type? And a more normal one for you. Well, I am sorry then.
Hey guys, since it gonna be a very busy month. Hope you guys will find yourselves more times to rest & relac too.
MLB Jia-you... MLB Power-Lah...
Happy Holiday to MLB & MLBians.
Gonna kick my bed and zzzzz soon, good nite & sweet dreams. :)
O... somethings to add on:
weiqi, dun worry. No matter how far MLB will be performing, so long if the time permits, I will be definitely there to show my support. And that does not meant that I am not supporting if I never turn up, ok? I believe it also applied to many more MLBians, especially the working adults who have work commitments overseas.
I forgot to bring MLB's album to let you guys sign. Already given some to my frens without signature. Infact, I am waiting for the gai-ban. Wanna watch the MVs. :)
Hope it will be released soon!
hmm...that's why passion is a highest calling. It's not only pricey, it can also cause lotsa mental turmoil...the torment of striving to attain perfection, be jaded when you missed a few steps to reaching that perfection, the long wait to meet that perfection… and that perfection seems to be blurring when ya are too focused on the inessentials. But, be warned that the feelings can be empty if that perfection has been reached. Anyhow, enjoy the search and call for celebration.
..to celebrate your Passion
I celebrate the passion in my life;
the stubborn way I love my life;
like an airy fairy soar up high;
even though I may not fly;
I fear not of falling from the sky;
I know it'd hurt, but I'd still try.
I want to love as much before I die;
A life with smiles, tears and lullabies;
I'd keep these memories in my mind;
and hold them close as days pass by;
Ruminate the moments in the night;
and keep my love forever mine.
I would not hide my emotions with lies;
and denied the feelings I've realised;
I promise I'd not disguise;
I 'd share every part in me in your life;
Live with zeal and grow my heart to a bigger size;
to keep all I cherish in this life.
good morning!
guys, u did well ytd! lucky we managed to get there juz after u've started performing.
d stage is too small huh... so sam kanna placed in corner. usu he'll b in center. nic like stand alone at one side.
IC, thks for d 2 pics... any more pics or videos to share? or anyone else has something to share?
So u guys had some hiccups, lucky hv delay cos far far away heard the drums den the keyboard, den realised it's han...ahh.....MLB here liao. cue to run like mad..hahaha. mouth itchy la, reach oredi still wanna go drink kopi....zzz...guit no sound meh...didnt catch it.
Funny co dun pick up the tab. Even on work trips, all necessary expenses -as long as budgetted & justified- are reimbursed. Esp since these are the basic tools of the trade n for 'live' gigs. N really, pack up time much improved now...hey u guys eavesdrop on our conversation is it? jokin, jokin. so w this investmt, continue to make something out of ure PASSION and ROCK MORE people with your music. We can only support in our peanut ways, yeah! :)
hey peeps, dun worry, my flu is gone after a long afternoon nap(not intended though). Gonna stay up tonite to finish my werk. Quizzy, in a way, you're right. cos friendship is a "2 hands to clap" thingy. so has to work from both sides in order to click. well..jus wanna add to nic's entry. The $$$ spent, some of it, sadly, are still loans...yep, so still owing some super nice ppl $, cos they believe in us, and help us now cos we need the $ urgently to fix up the rig. Gotta work doubly hard to earn back the $ and pay em back! then at the same time, does that mean u gotta forgo all the coffee and such? dunno man, guess gotta balance, cos either way, we'll go crazy. one thing i've learnt, relaxation is a must, though sometimes i forget to do it. :(
haha...don't work non-stop. take short break in between? haha Like me, I already planning to take a few days leave from work next week to relax liao.
yeah thanks for agreeing. I'm glad you trios never let "li4 yi4" (sorry but what is that word in English?) affect your friendship and your mindset? some people can fall out with their best friends or betray them just because of monetary issues or just to gain favor or whatever sensitive issues lo.
nitey. i very tired~~
heyhey..
been sometimes since i came here to leave msg for u all..
sorry to the guys. couldn't able to come down to give u all the support tt u guys needed.. :( feel kinda bad abt it.. but i still can see u guys still enjoy the whole performance right. though there is still a bit hipcup in a little way but sure this little hicup wun affect the performance :)
weiqi ~ do take care of urself yo. knw the weather had been cold this few day.. been shivering for the whole monday! :X so pls take care kaes! and yep yep.. do relax urself ok.. dun get too tired already with all the work loading in.. but still at least can take an hr off to rest? :) heh..
ah nic.. finally appear ar.hahas. it been so long since u came here to blog. but i am glad to see tt u r getting fine~ :) dun worry for the little mistake here n dere la..^^ i sure everyone will understand right.. keke! practise make perfect yo.. there still so much event tt is coming on. so jiayou le lor..=)
perhaps i wun always be there for ur event. but deeply down i will cheer for u guys! :DD
take care le lor.. heh~
jiayou guys!
:)
weiqi arh, well. this kinda thing is always happening de ba, i guess.
just like the stuffs that was once told to you.
but then again, i start to wonder now if the same thing is gg to be happening again. i duno..
not gg to dwell on it. cux dwelling on it more will only make things worse, cux you will tend to shut urself off. and tt's when everything will really start to go wrong.
well, glad that your flu decided to leave you. hope it doesnt come back anymore. take care la. see ya soon. (=
snowflakes! :)

hey mlbians.. the 3 of us have been super busy, change of rig.. to make our performance set up and tear down time shorter as well as doing research to replace our faulty hardware(time to return it to it's rightful owner le). So we had to spend some hard-earned $, some to-be-earned $, run around s'pore to scout for the ingredients, drill some holes, sand some surfaces, spray some paint, glue some sponge, tighten some cable tie, stick some labels, screw some screws,install some software... busy busy... tsk tsk.. and I also got campus superstar stuff to settle! oh dear... but glad that our rig is more or less settled, tmr, or rather later, will be our first try with this improved rig.. hopefully no more "milubing ni men zhun bei hao le ma???" yup... let's do it peeps.. heh heh.. CX, the singtel book gone le, cos too long never claim so in a way overdue le ba, i also felt,it's been so long le,so mei yo yi shi le... too late now rite? :p
take care peeps, see ya all tmr!
those who can't go, no worries, mlb is busy in December!!!
