It has been quite happening these few days, with interviews, the esplanade and the IMM show.. now the focus and energy would all be spent aligning the stars for the 24th (metaphorically speaking).
It's not always about how with a kind manner we speak , but how kind the true intentions behind the words are. Yet sometimes we accidentally string words into unpleasant phrases that hurt. We may know the words of our own, but other's words may be misinterpreted.
It seems like a life skill to master the art of putting what we mean into words that are interpreted clearly. We're all learning.
As a Band, we believe in being nice, accommodating to whatever we can, whenever we can, doing our best for people within our means. We are true to ourselves and believe in not hurting others.
Let's clarify. We don't mean that we only want to hear the good stuff, but we want to hear everything, critical comments that are constructive, good comments that are encouraging.
We know the hardship you guys go through waiting for us, supporting us and cheering us through the days; and good begets good.. kindness begets kindness.. and hence we are motivated to give you guys more.
We are normal people we have always said, and therefore acclaim the right to feel emotions everyone feels, being, sorrow, anger, happiness and even tears.
In conclusion.. we're giving our best, to not be regretful of not being the best we can be, and to return the kindness and love shown to the Band as a whole.
Thank you for being there for us. Hope you guys can see the bands' heart.
We're Human.
(Esplanade.. Here we come)

This is a bottomless confession of the inner voice. Thank you for the courage to share. I applause for your openness. Didn’t know what had happened; shan’t comment, to be fair to everyone.
A true communication should, like Martin Buber said…
"In spite of all similarities, every living situation has, like a newborn child, a new face that has never been before and will never come again. It demands of you a reaction that cannot be prepared beforehand. It demands nothing of what is past. It demands YOU."
Communication should be present. No past.
Forget what had been heard. Embrace a new conversation with reconciliation.
Quote from the great poet and mystic, Rumi said…
"Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field. I'll meet you there."
By coincidence, this week marks the week of Passiontide.
Passion, by definition, it’s a powerful emotion that denotes the feeling of fervor, fire, zeal, ardor etc.
Passiontide--denotes the process of attaining the glory through the road of suffering--physically, mentally and spiritually.
In conclusion, being passionate of our passion carries a deep intense emotion that will surely make us suffer in some ways.
Passion is vulnerable, it hurts.
But it’s so worth it.
Juz a humble tot I learned from work this month.

MLB,
Thanks for all your hard works eversince SB seasons till today. We know you guys are always giving us your very best in every performances & show. We have faith & confidence in MLB, that's why we called ourselves MLBians and formed up a MLB Family. We shall move on together forever.
I personally have a small request:
Please do not give yourselves too much pressures & stress for your upcoming concert at Esplanade 0n 24th April. Just be your normal selves, enjoy the night with all MLBians, family members, relatives & friends. Make it our biggest ever family re-union party so far. We will have another even bigger ones soon. MLB Jia-you... MLB Power-Lah...
Hi fellow MLBians,
Pls be informed that I have quite a number of copies of MLB's concert flyers which look likes a boarding pass of a flight. Anyone who is interested may let me know & get it from me.
Wow... I will not be here next 2-3days, cos I am attending a 3days 2nites Buddhist Studies Camp.
Hope everyone will have a wonderful long weekend. :)
It's Good Friday, and Happy Easter!
There is an article in today Straits Times, Lifestyle, regarding the upcoming concert...go grab a copy now :)
BTW, regarding the flyers, you can actually get them from sistic outlets, though I'm not sure if they are available at all outlets, but if you happen to pass by one, you might want to look out for it :)
From today's Straits Times, Lifestyle. Sorry that I have divided the article into 3 segments, some space constraints of scanning.

Poor mlb have to meet up each other at midnight or after midnight for practise n etc. Rest well! Yeah 3rd album coiming up end of the year. :D
Love the pic. Jiayou & take care all.

WQ, ure short ad v effective, i got infected too ;) mayb u can start to tweet ur story here tag by tag, den we piece it togethr ourselves. nothin beats a real time update...heh jus kiddin. zombie, pls get the zzzs u need. entertain us only wn u needa break n u can keep ure eyes wide enuff to type.
ah nic, looks like it'll be many long nites for me to digest all dat...@_@...perseverance!
ah sam, if listening to music brings good health. i shld be a v healthy person! :D
well, i guess we are all healthy in some ways since we listen to music some of the time or most of the time or everytime 7/24 =) not forgetting the endless background 'music' that surrounds us everyday..the melodic tinkling of the wind chime, the flapping of the laundry basking in the sun (the crispy smell of clean sheets)..the howling winds before a heavy afternoon thunderstorm (and the smell of pending rain), being aware of your own laboured breathing when hiking (its pretty surreal for city folks!), etc..which reminds me of a piano piece called 4:33..but gotta take care of the delicate protruding device from the sides of our head ya..
nic, tink you have shared the story b4? but was in snippets you posted..anw, good stuff meant to be read and re-read even though article was published 20 yrs ago..the reading part is easy..tink the part abt kicking a bad personal habit shld be handy..rather unorthodox approach to emoting music but shld be exilarating fun once u get it..fancy coming out wif a chord just by feeling the wind in your face..tx for sharing..i'm sure divine inspiration will take over on 24th ;)
wq, is it an anime? ;) looking fwd to it.
Ok i noe that u guys had put in alot of effort in it. Yes we all can see u guys the band's heart. :)
Nic glad to see you smiling. Hehe. Next time u must bring towel. You guys made our day too.
Weiqi is ok u dun need to felt paiseh. Haha. I can understand why u asked me whether is he my brother or not. Haha.
Sam sorry once again for not saying hello to u. I was blur and was thinking of something. Paiseh. Anyway u looked like u enjoying urself. That's good. U just whack only. Haha. :)
U guys are welcome. Yah let's work hard together. Continue to jiayou!
