I was just sharing this with a good friend of mine a few days back: How do you tell between a true friend and a not-so-true friend? Well, whenever a not-so-true friend contacts you out of the blue, he always has an agenda. In other words, he wants something from you. A true friend is [...]

A Gift Of Song
Wednesday, 28 July, 2010
Finally managed to get the piece recorded. This is the piece I had been working on the last two weeks for a dear friend who had specially requested that I compose it for. Recorded this in one hour flat at a studio which had a Yamaha C7 grand. Cool place! And not that expensive too. [...]
Kindred Spirits
Wednesday, 12 May, 2010
There are few things more thrilling in life than having someone allude to one of your favourite songs. Especially if the song isn’t exactly the most well-known of songs. Recently, whilst communicating with a friend about a Sunday meeting, out of the blue in jest he alluded to a park that’s covered with trees, a [...]
Slow To Anger
Monday, 26 April, 2010
Occasionally you would bump into a daily spiritual passage that is so pertinent that it seems as if God were speaking directly to you, and I don’t believe that such occurrences are mere coincidences. One passage I came across very recently was “Put A Lid On It” by Joe Stowell (here). It dealt with the [...]
Renewed Motivation
Tuesday, 2 February, 2010
After tonight, I now have a renewed interest in the future direction of Songcraft, and renewed motivation in writing songs for Songcraft once again. Thank God for friends! Life is good.
Wedding Season Is Still Alive And Well
Sunday, 3 January, 2010
Just when I thought last month was a busy wedding month, I’ve found myself being involved in 4 weddings in one way or another in a nine-day span starting from yesterday. I guess wedding season is still alive and well. Last night I attended the beautiful wedding of a very good pal of mine, whom [...]
Friends
Friday, 4 December, 2009
It was Michael W. Smith who said that friends are friends forever (great song by the way). I always try my best to cherish my good friends, to treat them with respect, to make time for them, to be generous to them whenever appropriate, and to show them that they are treasured. Because really…friends are [...]
VJC’s Got Talent
Monday, 8 June, 2009
(Some random keyboardist dude at Nil Sine Labore, picture by VJC Photosoc) So the concert which I was involved in at the Esplande Concert Hall last Saturday evening was called “Nil Sine Labore”, which I understand is the motto of VS and VJC…which means “Nothing Without Labour”. I’ve got to say it was one of the [...]
Life Lessons
Wednesday, 8 August, 2007
(Note: Slightly melodramtic post. I’m writing this late at night and will probably regret what I’ve written come tomorrow morning, but ah well.) … If there is ONE thing I’ve learnt this year, it is to cherish whatever relationships you currently have at the moment, because nothing stays the way you expect it to be forever. [...]
Friendship And The Art Of Listening
Wednesday, 13 June, 2007
FACT: Everyone loves a good listener. This is something which I’ve always believed in, and will continue to do so. Show me someone who doesn’t like to have someone else around to be a good listener to him or her. Wanna know a secret? I think everyone likes to talk about himself or herself. Better [...]
