well, i guess this post was somewhwat what you 3 guys feel all along ?
the smile on stage and how its simmers away off stage..how truee.. nothing last right..
but i believe something that last is ,at the very least, the suuport that all MLBians have given all along.
from superbands days, to other event, to first album , to second and third albumm, the highness of MLB did not decrease.
on the contray, more more ppl get to know MLB as a local band, as one that produces good music.
well, no pain no gain ah..
success is a swet thing, but who can understand the pain you guys when thru before becoming a succesfful band.
SG is just too small for a music industry. its just not a singaporean culture.. to support local bands.. eveyrone is going gaga over k-pop, taiwan...
so, sincerely, i relly hope that there is chance for MLB to venture out of singapore. to somewhere bigger, where more ppl will appreciate MLB music, somewhere that will bring the music passion to peak.
well... afterall, i think able to see you guys having the chances to perform on big stage, holding the mini concert at esplanade, is something to be proud of as a suuporter.
so, GO ON WITH THE PASSION !! jia you.
life is not bout regreting what is undone, but to be proud of what is done.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! JIA YOU ((:
Nic, when there's a will, there's a way. i'm very sure things will work out sooner or later, and there will be a time to come where money wont be a problem anymore , i believe thrs talent in 3 of you and effort put in by you 3 is here for us all to see and we do see it, very clearly.
trust us mlbians and trust yourself , one day MLB will be a household name for everyone and by then, mlb will be the SG based band that made it big. show singapore that LOCAL MUSIC CAN BE GOOD TOO !!
look at plain sunset, they made it big, or maybe not that big, but im sure mlb can be like them one day. concerts, CDs, everything, maybe even sponsorship next time. who knows, right ?
we never know what the future holds, but we have to path our way thru it no matter what. perseverance plays a big part. and our faith in you 3 , i hope it does help push you 3 forward ;)
Hope you guys are doing fine, watched the videos the kind peep here have shared. Super Thanks! :) Looks like a good show & recovery, despite the IT problem @khatib. Teamwork, empowerment and unity is strength. Lately I hv been thinking empowerment can be such an amazing tool. If everyone is empowered and proactive in their work and family life, it makes life easier & better for everyone. The difference can be astonishing. 2010 has arrived, shall we make a difference?

like those captions at the ending...
inside all of us is Hope..
inside all of us is Fear...
inside all of us is an adventure...
inside all of us is a WILD THING..
and the wild thing within us is where all the wild things are..
so what is this wild thing?
ain't telling you what to do...but to telling you to feeling good...
wow.. been buried so deep in my FYP that I hardly have the time to come here.. or get outta school(6 days a week in school) that is.. anyways. came here and read nic's post. must say that when i read a post like this, I get emotional. some things u really wanna shout out to the world, and tell everyone. that day i was just thinking, maybe i should write a book, about a local band and what they go thru in order to make music, and removing the myths in people's minds about the industry. Today my best friend from sec school called me up to ask if i was joining a class gathering(of course can't go...FYP...). But then he said something, that caught me off guard, and the thing hit me real hard. "You must be earning man! Been seeing you on TV and your band's got tat 3rd album etc..." wow... i wanted to just roll over and die at that moment.. wanna see my bank account figures? not many figures to begin with... sorry ya.. today emo emo.. cos nic's post la.. oei bro, ur post infectious man... :p
Take care all of u mlbians! I guess we gotta meet up for mlb gathering some how.. i dunno.. but gotta. nitey.
i guess such stereotyping is inevitable.. cuz the media always only reports on artiste earning big bucks and not those who don't.. we can only spread the msg and try to convince ppl ard us that being on tv not equals getting big money.. if they get it then jiu yay good, but if they don't then only can sigh and move on. life is always full of this kind of weird situations whereby there's really wrong stereotyping and only ppl who are familar will know the truth. though can really feel the emo-ness but be glad that there are still ppl who knows the truth(: wq take care take care! must remember to keep hydrating urself, if not those sick bugs will start attacking!
i find that in this whole world, only you yourself will understand your own problem. 3rd party or 4th or 5th or even up till the 100th party will nv be able to see cos all we see is the surface. anyway lets face it, who will bother to dwell deeper? because we tend to only agree on what WE think is right...
just like weiqi's friend, if u didn't show him your bank account and just tell him verbally, he prolly will just think that u r being humble or whatsoever ba?
sorry ya, i also emo-ing now. weiqi jia you alright~ cheers~
sighs... life's hard, living is not easy. that's something that happens to everyone, infact most, cause there are people who's born with a silver spoon in their mouth and of cuz, doesnt know how to appreciate. but then again there are others who work really hard to get their own silver spoon.
im sure one day mlb will succeed in getting their own silver spoon, and we , mlbians will help seek the spoon out !
of cuz, it's not easy surviving as a artist, what's worst? being a singapore artist. it's hard, we understand. well, life's never easy. so wei qi, dont emo. the bank acc thing, sooner or later it'll boom. it will, have faith ;)
bury your head for fyp now, about the gathering, well maybe when you're done we can have a gathering and it'll be a celebration for you too ;) so for now, take care and do your best ! jia you !! *cheer cheer*

MLB, 加油！
It is a repeat story that reminded me how the 新谣 went thru during the 80s.Everyone had to invest time, money n energy, most of the time everyone had to tighten belts also... sharing this song 星空下, lyrics written by late 元成大哥 & music by 啟賢大哥：
this 2 lines are my fav until today:
舊時夢 不必去記 只要把經驗藏在心底
美麗的明天 需要自己去努力
http://forum.omy.sg/showthread.php?s=4cee8b74436c1ba3296357c378ec19af&t=5236&page=3
WooHoo... MLB's 吃下宇宙 was #2 on the 全球华语歌曲排行榜. That means it is indeed a very good result. Cos these results are compiled & total up by 6 different radio stations in different countries (Sg, Msia, Hongkong, Taiwan & China) lor. With this ranking, I am sure that more ppl will get to know MLB's music.
Congrats MLB & continues to jia-you. We are so proud of you. :)
Hey Nicodemus,
I know how you feel. It's typical that people always think working in the media = earning a lot of money. I always reply them: the money I invested to keep my self from anti-aging, can't even feed myself well minus off the expenses on tools and gadgets. And portion of income goes to bills and doctor fees for aching body and all sorts of things you accumulate after working for long hours. I also have thoughts like, "what's left for next mth?", "oh my gosh, government raised the transport fees AGAIN!", "My pay hasn't come in YET!", "GOD! I'm broke! SOS!".. Smiling sheepishly at your parents saying, "erm, can I have $10 from you to top up my card?"
And then, the slightly luxurious holiday trip may be a little further like bali? Oh, then don't know when I can travel again?
Sometimes, to make me feel worse when I walk into a gallery to view works. I always think, 'Wow!' How come it's easy for people to be an artist? Am I just not talented enough? Not hard working enough? Or? So when's my work going to be up? When? When my voice is going to be heard?
Right now, can't even hold a full-time or any stable job in the industry. Yes, it's because this is Singapore! Low pay and murderous hours. Who wanna work long hours for somebody else's vision and benefits? I refused to. So gotta have sidelines to keep passion going..
And the boat keeps rowing.. rowing.. until it finds the island to build one's own kingdom. Before that, keep roaming and rowing. At least, haha, I know that I'm not the only one rowing.. Somewhere in the vast ocean, there'll be a passion pursuer like you who is working hard to keep it going..
Row on captain! We'll reach our own's islands one day. When weary, stop to rest, continue again on a brand new day. We'll not live and leave this world in vain. :)
Oh by the way, you know.... we do have supportive parents to start with. Which is really a blessing.
When I got to know that my macbook pro was bought by the money my mum pawned of her jewelleries(marriage gifts somemore), I was really grateful and speechless.. for the kind of trust she has in me. The more I can't fail right?
And I believe whatever your father has "invested" in you, levels up the trust he has in you - that you will soar high, and higher, and will not let him down. :)
Sometimes, no matter how hard life is outside or the harsh reality we have to face, it's home that we seek comfort. It's so nice, to be someone's little child, knowing that if your world is shattered, there are arms to fall onto. Weary, there is nice warm soup and clean towel prepared for you. Worked like a wretch, mad and sad but everything else is done for you at home so we can get a good rest.
oh well.. too late now for this kinda emo.. hahaha.. what a statement at night.. and.....Sleep early la you! Late nights increases cancer cells de hor..scientifically proven. ;P
woah, uncle phil brings good news. haha
ivan, no need thnx lol. im just tryng to see what i can help too. plus its not anything biggie ;)
anon, you must be a good friend of nic. your words are indeed encouraging. im really happy, this shows tt mlb have good friends around them too ;)
and woah, late nights increase cancer cells ?! *gasp*
