Hi all, my apologies for MIAing a while.. well,besides the flu(thanks for the best wishes), some crazy changes at school, my crib was kinda messed up again, so i needed some time to get things back in place.. did not check my email for bout 3 days too :p also been packing my stuff for dreaded reservice! not that i don miss my camp and all the crazy stuff we do.. but.. i don feel physically ready. :( kinda sad cos i'm not physicallyt prepared for the training.. but well, should be ok de ba.. p.s. we did an interview with iweekly, should have some kind of report with pics, and tmr we're doing one with teenage, also pics :) when's the next time u'll see us? how bout tmr? mmm... u name a place, we name the time :D
Elise: you've got super neat handwriting!took me a while to realize that it's not typed out. i remind u of ur classmate?hmmm.. I finished the candy le haha, thanks! Glad to know another fellow keyboardist! :D
YuJing: hey hey, thanks for the gummy bears haha.. after NTU gonna try out this music thingy and see how far it goes :) I used to teach beatboxing during my JC days... that's when i met my talented junior Charles (now in sg idol). I must say however, that to be more precise, i am actually doing vocal percussion rather than beatboxing, cos usually when u mention beatboxing it involves much more sound effects and flowery beats. Mine's more for acappella, cos i used to be in 3 diff accapella groups before MLB was formed. There are a lot of tutorials out there if u wanna learn, for example http://www.youtube.com/user/StitchBeatbox#p/u where Charles gives free lessons :) Hope this helps u!
LiWhey, QianHui and YuJing: Thanks so much for the yummy cookies... I ate all le haha. besides the alphabets of my name there was a big hear at the end! it was kinda super sweet though, wat was the real ingredients? haha.. thanks ya? it helped prevent me from getting gastric that nite on the way back on the bus. Must have cost u gals loads of time..thanks ya? p.s. my bottle cracked when i took it out in the bus, dunno how it cracked but well, had to finish all by the next day cos scared go soft..
Binz: Hey hey, the blog is a place where we share and communicate, and help each other. What i say here is nothing compared to the jiayos we get all the time from mlbians! So no worries la :) Thanks for the jiayos!
Jess: oki, will try to smile more.. and the shy thing.. yup, it's my weakness i guess. innate la.. family background, so a bit more reserved. But will try..have always been trying :D <--still trying haha.. all the best with the choice u make in the end! :)
Ruiting: Hey hey, u should try to get to know more mlbians, they are a friendly bunch! super heart-warming de.. sometimes when we dunno a person we can get the wrong impression one la.. just need to give each other some time :D As for the blue hair... not easy to maintain leh.. this colour drops real fast! so kinda ex.. tat's why i'm thankful for shunji matsuo, helping us with the hair colours :) I'm sure some day u could try the colour ba haha.. :D p.s. i don think i tagged at ur blog leh :P
PekChoo: oei.. ur card hor... very nice :D haha... scared u didn't i? :p thanks for the super blink blink key chain :) thank u for supporting us right from the start.. and many of the rest too... u really blinked the card ya? did u really stick the studs one by one? thanks ya? ;)
Angeline: the photo is really nice! must be the photographer damn good ya? haha... glad to see u too, been a while le, and must be busy at work ya? i dunno but from your letter can tell that ur not really happy... hope that thing's are going fine at work, pls take care of urself too ok? :) u jiayo too!
I'd like to thank Uncle Phil too for helping everyone collaborate to get us into the longhubang :) mlbians ROCK!!!

p.s. choose something that u would enjoy doing, have passion for, but rmbr to balance passion with $... nite!
Being thankful being and grateful for what ppl have done is BASIC COURTESY. If because of thank you's ppl start getting jealous.. its a very sad thing. Have some sense self worth.. filming down videos and getting thank you's is not what there is all in life.
It's just thank yous.
I REPEAT. BASIC COURTESY.
Thank you Anonymous.

Nite all..
nic | 30 November, 2009 05:16
starting to miss the view from the stage already.. miss the shouts.. miss the happy faces..
not for the fame.. but for being able to be in the service of all your ears :)
reading through the tags on the blog.. its quite overwhelming how ppl unrelated can relate to us via music..
share some love ppl.. FB each other.. get connected.. come to the next performance as an entire Family :)
That would be sooo cool!
The band doesnt like politics.. and we hope everyone would be smiley to everyone as there's already too much animosity in the world :(
Share some care and concern.. So nice to see ppl being happy..
even though it seemed like a bad thing that happened(the laptop drop), it was the mlbians who shined brightly during the adverse situation, offering all kinds of help and support... u guys rock, and that's why we always work hard to bring u better music each time. Jiayo people! and thanks for the jiayos. I'm going for my war at 5pm later haha.. :)
woohoo! it's done :) I double checked, and no point staring at questions that u REALLY don know how to answer.. set it to random, and then I strolled out out of the exam hall at 6.40pm.. a tit bit early.. and now i'm back in ADM, at my laptop.. and u know wat? i left my student card on the desk just now.. :p Called my friend WeiHao to help me get it back le haha... damn.. why sia.. why so blur... sigh... last time not like that one.. now adays hor... sigh..
weiqi | 26 November, 2009 19:30
haha binz.. i laugh at u so u can laugh at me too :p I not pro leh, i think u never read this sentence: "no point staring at questions that u REALLY don know how to answer"
nic Thank you all for the lovely car and concern.. we really appreciate the heartfelt thoughts of all...
At last.. done.. this
is what you get from Sim Lim for cheap cheap repair
. 200 bucks for the Apple's 858? Dream on manz.. if you're Thinking about quality.
BUT!!! can use can already.. no complains.. this white lil pony has served us 2 entire years.. So put a lil heart into it.. DIY...
Super glue and all the entire frame... quite a joke but yes :)
The band has survived this major ordeal for now.. adapter giving up.. screen breaking.. 2 yrs of hardcore usage for a laptop is a long time!! Guess they're omens that change is a necessity.. but it'll be another story
EVERYONE RELAX!!! We just fixed it this afternoon! Found a shop at simlim charging $200 for the fix! Settled le.. nic posting photo soon :D BUT I HAVEN"T FINISHED STUDYING!!! just came back from jamming.. SHAG!!! --------
nic 26 November, 2009 01:42
fixed! my screen the plastic frame kinda abit cant put back.. but its done~~~ apple care warranty for 2 more yrs voided.. but heckz.. we need it for SUNDAY!
Doesnt look the same... (not original mac screen) Doesnt feel the same.. plastic frame cant put back totally.. But its has a new soul now :)
ITS COME BACK TO LIFE!!! --------
Anonymous 26 November, 2009 03:00
warranty dont cover "human error" haha.. YAY!!!! OVER! WEI QI GD LUCK FOR MUGGING!!!
wa bro.. When u told me that it's bad, i didn't expect this bad... Biangz... I think i'm gonna be stressed this sun le... Shaitz... --------
nic 25 November, 2009 00:58
858.. not inclusive of service charge (50-150).. thats why sad.
Sim Lim not trust worthy for mac as mac parts are really like custom build.. and only apple supply apple parts.. so duno what parts getting..
even apple after changing apple screens there are instances mac cant sleep (a friend is doing mac dealership it happened b4)
For mac screens i heard they change the entire top of the mac not just screen.. --------
nic 25 November, 2009 01:51
Nah.. we'll just live with what we have.. no obstacles cant overcome.. once in awhile take a break from chores of life.. breath.. and carry on again.
Quite a blow to me.. coz whatever the screen is left cant see much.. cant do work.. dual screen is CPU and graphic card intensive.. darn lag.. cant do audio at all.. tried. cant.. will just hang and say "system overload".
On stage wei qi gotta control the programs with this view of whatever's left i duno how..
The com fair tml if i'm right starting or thur.. coz my friend going to set up tml his mac booth.
Lowest prices my friend quoted me (cost price for his side) is beyond purchase.. 3k plus for the mac pro.. coz the new whites wont go to 2.4 GHz which mine is now.. they stopped the production of this speed for the whites..
not enough juice and power.. so gotta go pro.. will save up or hope for sponsorship ba..
Basically its a headache which one day sure will have.. com break down or whatever..
Its a headache i dont mind at all if i have the cash. But wrong timing! Just bought a wireless for my guit so soundcheck i can be off stage to hear and rectify issues.. already spent a bomb..
sigh sigh.
Investments for our passion. Stay strong!
Hoping for sponsors.. PC laptops aint strong enough and stable enough to do the live stage thing..
Hope for a better tml! --------
nic 25 November, 2009 01:55
yes.. i dun trust sim lim.. only go there to buy what u know the prices are! repairs.. so far... all ppl go there sure complain de... haha..
i will clone my mac soon.. once i know my next step... dont worry..
WE WILL SURVIVE! keke --------
nic 25 November, 2009 02:00
yea.. miracle.. thats what we need... we keep creating them... now we need one! haha nities! --------
weiqi 25 November, 2009 02:17
MIRACLE!! PLS COME!!! --------
nic 25 November, 2009 04:17
NO ONE ALLOWED TO SPEND ON US... IF NOT I GET ANGRY WOR!
We need moral support from you guys.. noT money or presents! save up for your rainy days! I'm trying to save for mine :)
[BREAKING NEWS]: This just in.. Nic's laptop fell to the ground yesterday during an accident @ the interview. To his horror when he turned it on this morning, he found a super big crack(s) on the screen and now the monitor only displays the upper half of the screen! Shaitz... Pictures of the laptop coming soon, must post man...cos the 'little white pony' that has served us so well for the past 2 years is now really in a very bad shape. Our heart aches as we see our dear comrade cry in pain...the pony has been taking the weight of our music..and screaming each time we're on stage(now u know why i always look at it while performing, making sure it doesn't trip and fall). sobs..poor white pony.. the 2 years have been hard on u...pls try to tahan for this weekend's gig cos repair is out of the question costing $1.3+k... sobs... --------
weiqi 24 November, 2009 12:12
whoops, repair should be $880 b4 gst & service charge.. --------
mlb Honesty Don't know what the toot we were singing on stage as HMV's location is indeed a cylinder.. sound bounces up and down through the "column" above us... on stage was kinda a mess in terms of audibility.. (nature of types of locations)
BUT
Your smiles made it all fun :)
Apologies for not jumping as the stage was very small this time around.. ain't wanna fall over.. Walk 2 steps.. at the edge liaoz.. haha..
Thanks to those who came.. next time dare to clap hor! No need pai seh de!.. Thank you for supporting us all this while and the years to come!
Recent update from Long Wang.. They requested us to get all the MV rough cuts down from Youtube and facebook.. it was accidentally leaked out by mistake.. thankies thankies!
and tags from the guys...
nic 21 November, 2009 22:18
A quote to share..
A celebrity is a person who works hard all his life to become well known, then wears dark glassed to avoid being recognised.
WUAHAHAHAA!!! --------
nic 21 November, 2009 22:47
"we just launched our album" & "we gonna break up"
Doesnt make much sense dont it? haha.. dun worry. Tabloid. --------
nic 21 November, 2009 23:34
Question.. If the album doesnt do well..
How will we survive?
:)
Just a question to ponder.
We don't have basic pay you know :)
You cant imagine the returns compared to sacrifices we've made for music.
Not complaining.. but remembering this fact to spur myself on that we will make it someway somehow.. that one day, i capable be able to walk into a music shop to purchase whatever guits i need to record with without fear of the next meal.. do not need to worry when I can save enough to do my lasik.. when i can save enough to buy whatever clothes i'ld like to wear.. when i can save enough to buy new audio equipment.. when i can save enough to get my car liscense.. when i can save enough to buy a car.. when i can start saving for my rainy days of the future when i'm old.
The world doesnt see the sad facts unless they are brought into light or blown out of proportions.
Living a life of music doesnt pay well at all. Just hope one day it may pay sufficient.
Apologies. Sad facts.
Gambette! --------
nic 21 November, 2009 23:38
Shant add to the list of when i can(s). --------
Sam Wong 22 November, 2009 01:28
HEY! Was great seeing all of you again.. Uncle Phil, you said very nice words today and we're proud of you.
We all know that Nic is one who never fails to put in his best in the music; he'll go without sleep to ensure a good sound.. WQ has been working so so hard despite being the student and artist as we all know too.
Regarding the Papers' interview, there are facts in it about the reality of life. We'll love to live the dream, we need to survive to live the dream - my personal thoughts. But for now, we're all out to make this album a good one! In whatever way we could..
Promise a good show this Sunday! Thank you everyone, goodnight.. --------
nic 22 November, 2009 02:56
Dont worry uncle phil.. it was great.. the nicest things are words said from the heart :)
Thanks all for participating is the sing sing game hehe..
Anyways.. Its really unfortunate and sad that Wei Qi was put in a bad light..
He aint a person that will throw in the white towel halfway. I know. Coz I KNOW him.
Only when we reach a DEAD dead end.. then we'll find other means of survival.. yet still keeping music close to heart. You never know.. one day far far long long time later Sam's doing his drums thingy.. I'm doing my recording thingy.. Wei Qi doing MVs for ppl. All still music related.. yet the closest we can get to the original passion.
Thanks again for all the support given.. hope our music will linger for as long as the erosion of time can put off :)
Don't worry about the article.. most important.. live the present.. Anticipate the tml that awaits us :)
Will find time to update my blog soon.. been a very tiring week with all the technical preparation for the digital side of the band.
Nities! --------
nic 22 November, 2009 03:37
Jess.. if I'm right you're the one with long hair and FB regularly haha..
Insomnia :
May sound "off".. but wanna say.. like the blacks say
"I FEEL YA DAWG!!"
Haha.. Yes.. its always poverty.. as previously mentioned.. it's a fact.. and I'm not ashamed.. we're just OK TO DO PPL almost poor that are DRESSED extravagantly on stage to sell our art.
But for the sake of passion.. we have to "pop-pify" the arts. NOT COMPROMISE. It's still ART.. at a different depth and not the prefered era. Let me explain.
POP music means POPULAR music. In some societies METAL is POP. In some.. bag pipes are pop?!
Its just a matter of classifications due to trend and times.
The sound of the Backstreet boys were pop in the 90's.
The sound of Black Eyed PEas in the early part of this decade.
The sound of Jonas Bros is pop now.
Just examples.
Hope our music be the pop of the near future with us starting the trend.
U2's the Edge made and discovered the foundation Delayed guitars (most prob most ppl here aint know what I'm talking haha)... THE GIST : he made a sound that is common 20 years which would be a major part of Bands like Paramore's sound.
Hope we're the pop of the future.
Yan Shi Zheng may just be the pop of the future which even we ourselves don't know yet.
Let's say we're artists trying to be artistEs trying to sell our ART.
GReat tags.. forgive my long windedness here.. have always been a fan of ingenuity :)
well.. bro.. nic.. everyone looks like crap without make up and hair styling.. it's reality. i'm sure that mlbians all know this too, and they support us for things deeper than skin deep.. like our music? our hardwork? our characters? The truth is that I hate, yup HATE, this plastic world that is so dependent on looks. sigh. but well, no one looks young forever.. so everyone will understand when they get old. --------
Sam Wong 20 November, 2009 15:02
Doesn't have to be bought from HMV Flora, as long as it is original.
Well said WQ, and he really did put in a lot of effort and had some very good ideas that we 3 liked..
I don't remember watching the video other than hearing and reading bout it. Really Encouraging. Thank you. --------
nic 21 November, 2009 02:31
shout tml.. we are gonna shout too :)
The stage is a place where we have fun.. and you guys have fun.
DOn't miss it...
See ya all laters! --------
nic 21 November, 2009 08:08
dont forget the claps for the song! haha --------
nic 21 November, 2009 21:54
thats tabloid.. it kinda spices things up a lil don't ya think? Haha.. It's their way of catching attention so we just try to understand abit la hor.. ppl's jobs..
But indeed 3/4 (the back part) of the article is very well written.. I would actually commend it.
Captured ppl to read about the band! :)
So don't worry.. part and parcel of life.. but no Edison ya? :)
慢慢来吧。。。 relack relack... :) btw, if Nic jump off stage, i'll jump on my keyboard... and err.. sam will cartwheel perhaps? haha.. dunno.. :p --------
weiqi 19 November, 2009 23:54

: Hi all, and welcome to part one of our special report... the developer's diary.. sorta.. haha..
As mentioned in the interviews, this time round, our songs all follow a central theme, which is food. But food is used as an analogy, because: it ties in so tightly with us Singaporeans, it helps describe different flavours of music, it helps describe a setting or mood, it is something that everyone understands because everybody has to eat, it reflects on the relationship between the people sharing the meal together ETC. In our opinion, it was the strongest theme amongst the many themes we had, so we came out with many stories, and then we decided to write songs as a medium to tell these stories. So food was the theme that led to many issues and scenarios (literal food was not the subject, we were not talking about particular dishes) and hence the birth of the songs. Next, we were asked to help to think of more album concepts, and at first I came up with an ice-cream cum lacoste pastel colours concept, but after reviewing the compos we made, I felt that MLB's 3rd album consists of more emotional songs than fast, energetic ones. So the ice-cream concept was withdrawn (keep for next time hehe) and a new idea was being formulated. Later on, we got introduced to Xiao Ye lao shi(a respected player in the industry who wrote the lyrics for 冷晚餐 as well as the MV director for 吃下宇宙, super multi-talented man), and after reading his lyrics, I was inspired and it led on to a whole new concept = The Big Banquet/Feast.
What is 'The Big Banquet'? Basically, the album represented a banquet of songs, of different variety of tastes, carefully prepared by the chefs and waiters of an imaginary mansion of music, and the 3 hosts, invited everyone to come taste and feast on the (initially) 10 course meal. Thus the theme of food or a banquet was brought to life. Meanwhile, there was a decision made by the production team, that the look of MLB should go up another level, and we should be more matured than our 2nd album. At this point of time, this is how we looked :)
*Forgot to mention that this picture is when we were testing our fitting, thus the mugshot pose, in fact nic was the only one not wearing his shoes, only socks, that's why i removed the lower part. It is not from an official shoot, but just for archiving, considered as behind the scene.*
*this picture on the other hand, was from an article in the newpaper, taken during our initial 吃下宇宙 MV shoot*
Coming back to the album, I had a goal in mind, which was that this time round, I wanted the album to be 'INTERACTIVE' whereby people would really hold the album in their palms and flip it open and close, fold it around.. basically look at it like it were a beautiful crafted origami rather than your usual traditional album. So I came out with the following idea:
What does this mean? oh yes, it means so much... the above will be explained in Developer's Diary #2... coming soon :D
*cough*
