Vote For Mi Lu Bing 迷路兵!!



I still fondly remember the first time I watched the auditions of the First Season of Superband. There is this group of 3 guys. The lead singer is especially eye-catching because of his big smile and cute moves on the stage. When asked why is their group name 迷路兵, their answer was.... " 因为我们喜欢喝MILO-BING!!", how cute can that be?! =D

Sometimes when you watch a competition, you will know the ending even before it happened; it feels like watching Carrie Underwood auditioning for American Idol; somehow I know that she will be the Champion. For a band as fresh as 迷路兵, I am sure many will agree with me that half the season through, we already know that this band is meant to win this thing...and they did. =)



After winning the Best Newcomer Award in 新加坡金曲奖 2007, this year 2009 they are nominated again, for 最佳乐团奖, 最受欢迎团体奖 and 最佳本地歌手奖. Well Done guys!! Support them...with actions! Start voting for them here.

Eason Chan from Hongkong saw 迷路兵 performed he said this... “他们很像学生,很投入去唱自己的歌。我今天真是大开眼界,原来新加坡有这么优秀的歌手。" It's a huge compliment from the most respectable singer in the music scene.

Keep the music coming boys!!

Renci Food Fesita 2009!

As I said in the previous post, we are packed like sardines this year. Right after the performance on Saturday night for the 'Butterfly Dreams', we have the Renci Charity Food Festival Performance on Sunday! Oh my...and what a hot day it is! We keep singing, sweating and vice-versa. Thank you Renci Hospital for inviting us once again!
The Mother and Son combination. Jake and Zhang Yan..both looking great!
Our very cool keyboardist...Fred! Smile boy!
Joseph! Great Effort boy....=)

The last group of the day with Taiwei, Zhiyuan and Wing Kee joining in.
I had always enjoyed performing for the Food Fesita since years ago. The audience are always so responsive and generous with their donations. The students recieve little gifts and drinks from the audience who appreciate their performances. These little gestures from the audience always drives us working harder and better. I would say most students' stage presence and confidence has improved after much exposure. I would hope they will continue to strive for excellence.

Upcoming will be our 2nd outlet at Chinatown Official Opening and the Red Cross Charity Event happening on the same day! Go Go Go!

Lastly....Thank you Renci and all the kind souls in the world.

Butterfly Dreams!

This month is extremely packed for us. The 'Butterfly Dreams' musical had just ended with a huge success. It is full house for the 2 shows! I am sure it is a very enriching experience for all of us involved; all the rehearsals, the late nights, practices and working with professionals.

I do hope the students will find everything worthwhile despite the stressful moments. This is afterall the entertainment industry, people come with expectations, and we all have to step up our game. But I thought all of them pull it off very well...we are so proud!


The musicians. Alex in green is going to have his own concert soon.

Erm.....Zhiyuan...WAKE UP!!!

Actual Show...Beautiful People...

Jiayou Jiayou! Support Local Productions and Music! Keep the Scene Alive!

July @ SAM - 3's not a crowd!


This July @ Singapore Arts Museum, we bring you:

3's Not A Crowd

Here's a little something about them, from them!

about the band...
Formed in 2006, we’re an acoustic band consisting of 2 guys and a girl. 3’s never a crowd for us because we have fun, enjoy the spontaneity of impromptus as we jazz up old classics, turn up the heat with the occasional rock song, and melt your hearts with romantic ballads.




about the members...

Jason Wong
Jason keeps the groove with the cajon (percussion). He can sing and play the guitar too (lead or rhythm). He’ll mesmerize you with his strong interpretation of classic and Cantonese pop songs.

Ong Yutong
Our very own vocalist. When she sings, there is the sexiness (jazz and soul), the edge (rock), the heart melting (ballads). The versatility of not only style, but languages- English, Mandarin, Cantonese, Hokkien, and even Malay! She’s also keeping up the beat with the shaker.

Wong Longhui
Our very own funky guitarist. Has a knack for improvising and rearrangement of songs, he’ll vamp it up with his various styles of playing - fingerstyle, bossanova, rock and folks. He’ll even charm your pants off with his voice.


This trio has since performed in numerous festivals, corporate events and even on live radio! So come catch them for yourself

25 July 2009, Saturday
8pm - 9.30pm @
Singapore Arts Musuem Auditorium

We look forward to seeing you there!
