  • Why I perform…Gig #84 and #85

    My first performance ever was probably during my college days. When I got a few friends together to play as a band in the Taylor’s Battle of the Bands competition. We didn’t even make it through the first stage, but we had tons of fun. And it was then I discovered my passion for performing.

    We did manage to secure a couple of gigs after the band competition experience, playing for a couple of schools and one college event. But man, getting on stage, rocking out, yelling till I had no voice – those were great times. But the best part was hearing the yells and applause from the audience. I don’t know what it is about being applauded which makes it feel great, but it does and I loved every bit of it.

  • Keep on marching on

    Firstly, happy birthday to Jessica. Max’s lovely and amazing mother. There’s nothing I can say here that I haven’t said to her before, so I’ll just share the speech I made at her wedding (oh, happy first anniversary to Jessica and Edwin too!):
