Mission Trip to Moriyama, Japan

Japan – checked! I finally got to experience this wonderful country under a very special circumstance. I went to Moriyama, Japan under a music mission project by Ascend Ministry PJEFC – the worship ministry of my church 🙂 For those of you who don’t know me – besides being a keyboardist and Worship Leader in…

A PriceLess Experience (Finale – What I shopped from Super Save Mart!)

“Jom, buka kedai!” – That’s the line Rajah from PriceLess says to bring everyone into the world of Super Save Mart, a place where “Price Less: A Musical” evolves around. The experience on stage and off stage has been super exciting for everyone of us. 7 sold out shows over two weekends with audience responded…

A PriceLess Experience (Pt. 6 – What makes PriceLess, priceless?)

There’s a saying in Chinese, “A minute on stage takes ten years of efforts off stage”. Rehearsals are time for us to perfect our art so we can deliver the message in the best possible manner. Unlike any other production, “Price Less: The Musical” conduct rehearsals slightly differently. Here’s how different it is: Huge efforts put…

A PriceLess Experience (Pt. 5 – The Ugly truth)

April 2, 2016, First rehearsal. The day when I finally get to meet all other shortlisted actors (wah some of them are really pretty and handsome woh). After doing some basic warm-ups led by our acting coaches Roland and Richard, our director PC welcomed us and laid down some ground rules about the rehearsals and…

A PriceLess Experience (Pt. 4 – The Audition)

So with that burning desire I got after watching my friends’ shows, I began my search online for auditions in KL/PJ. I chanced up a couple of auditions but most of them require a properly done up portfolio shoot, and I don’t have any. However, one particular audition on kakiseni.com caught my attention for the…

A PriceLess Experience (Pt. 3 – The PACs)

I had a change of portfolio at work in October 2015. I love the change as I get to do more content generation, and with that I need to interview creative people out there in the industry (mostly IACT graduates). I got to learn a lot more about the industry and the challenges that come…

A PriceLess Experience (Pt. 2 – Of Su and Merdekarya)

So after that trip to Penang, there’s a burning desire to try and look for opportunities to perform! Since the only performance I was confident in is singing, I posted a cover on Soundcloud and shared it on Facebook, you know, at least start from somewhere. To my surprise, some people find it likeable (I…

A PriceLess Experience (Pt. 1 – The Why)

A Priceless Experience – Part 1: The Why I have a taste of what it means to say: “Finally, my dream come true!” So yes, for those of you who don’t know, I had my debut performance in a local musical last weekend. Price Less is a local production of Every Nation Church and One…

The other side of the rainbow

I met Cien (not his real name) in Penang when I was up there travelling alone a few months ago. Though we barely know each other, it felt like we’ve been friends forever! Cien is only about 20 years old but I could hardly feel the generation gap between us. He is just so mature and full…

I am 33 and I am well-loved

I have just turned 33 on 14th January 2017. I’m well-loved. 33, the age when Jesus was crucified on the cross. Just the night before Jesus died, He claimed that He had accomplished ALL that the Father commanded Him to do. Such an obedient and fulfilling life! I’ve always wanted to be like Jesus. Making that important…

#TSNChallenge 3/365 Talking to Street Performers

Today’s challenge is something totally unplanned. It was just like any other afternoon. I took a walk to a food-court nearby to get my lunch and I was looking for something new to do as I walk. “New food?”, “new restaurant?”, “new drinks?”…boring :(, my heart cries. Eventually, I walked pass this group of elderly…
