It’s been awhile since I talked songwriting. I spent the past few days working on a Good Friday song. It’s getting harder and harder to write a new Good Friday song each year. I think this is the fourth Good Friday song I’m attempting to write in as many years, and after awhile you start [...]

Songwriting Stuff
Tuesday, 25 January, 2011
Haven’t been talking about songwriting for quite awhile. Here are some random thoughts… … The Special One Ever met a special someone whom you felt was probably going to be the most beautiful person you’d ever meet in your life? As in, for the rest of your life, you can’t imagine how you’d ever meet [...]
Christmas
Sunday, 5 September, 2010
Now that I’ve managed to clear a number of items off my personal to-do list, it’s time to start seriously working on some Christmas songs for church. You would be wrong to think that I’ve given up on music and songwriting, cos they will always be my first love. It’s just that nowadays I’m very [...]
Songwriting Thoughts
Monday, 31 May, 2010
Haven’t blabbered on songwriting for awhile, so here goes. Pardon me for the stream-of-consciousness writing. As you know, songwriting is one of my favourite topics, so I always have lots of thoughts on the subject. Some may seem weird, and some may seem strange. But these are just my own thoughts and philosophies. To each [...]
Good Friday Song
Monday, 28 December, 2009
Two nights ago I was quite inspired to write a new song for Good Friday service (since Christmas Eve service was already over), so I decided to sit at the piano and work on it. I always like to write way in advance. I actually came up with three different song “concepts” that night (much [...]
Carolling
Sunday, 20 December, 2009
Today was an amazing day, and I really want to thank God for it. I had organised carolling for my church today, starting from after lunch all the way till after dinner. As in, we went to various households to carol and share the message of Christmas and God’s love to them. It was a [...]
Long Weekend
Monday, 13 April, 2009
It was an extremely exhausting long weekend, this being the Good Friday and Easter Sunday weekend. In fact it was so tiring that today I woke up with a really bad headache. I think I’m suffering from the after effects of a mentally-draining long weekend. Was very busy with both the Good Friday and Easter [...]
Mondays
Monday, 9 March, 2009
Mondays are a great opportunity to reflect on the weekend that has just passed. How would I rate my weekend? Well, it was a mixed bag. I attended a local musical which was so bad I wanted to walk out within 15 minutes, but I was coerced into staying through till the end. I shan’t [...]
Christmas Song
Thursday, 9 October, 2008
Because I only just completed a piece which I spent the last few weeks working on, I thought it would be a pretty good time to start on a new song tonight. After much deliberation, I decided to perhaps scrap the children’s Christmas song which I took about one month to write back in August [...]
True Wealth

“All man’s efforts are for his mouth, yet his appetite is never satisfied.” – Ecclesiastes 6:7 Tonight I was particularly moved by the Pastor’s bible exposition, in a way that I have not been for a long time. It seemed as if almost every word cut right to the bone. On a day when the [...]
