King Kong Jane - No
An original composition we performed at National Vertical Marathon 2007 last Sunday.

Can you see what I see, no
Can you hear what I hear, no
Can you do what I do, no
No no no no no
Can you feel what I feel, no
Can you give what I give, no
Can you love what I love, no
I don't think so
It's time to find yourself a new day
You don't look as good as how you used to
Have you ever wondered what you're missing
I don't think you have a clue

National Vertical Marathon 2007 this Sunday!!!
Hi Boys and Girls, Uncles and Aunties,
The timings for our sets this coming Sunday have been confirmed!!!
Our first set is from 1640h - 1710h and our second set is from 1740h - 1810h.
The event will be held @ the Republic Plaza, one of the tallest buildings in Singapore, standing proudly at 60 storeys high!!!
National Vertical Marathon is an annual nationwide event held to promote Sports and Healthy Lifestyle within our local community. Participants are required to jog/run (sprint if they are damn fit, walk if they are not so fit, hop or jump if they want to spice up their Sunday, or any other ways that anyone can think of) up the stairs to reach the top of the building. Last year we played for the event too and it was held @ the Suntec City, well looking at the venue they have chosen this year, Singaporeans are becoming fitter!

Friends who are coming down to lend us your support can take a train to Raffles Place MRT Station and the event is held just beside the station. (sorry not too sure which exit from the station) Hope to see you there!!!

After darkness comes brightness
We performed in Hall 10 of NTU tonight as part of celebrations for Chinese New Year. But when we were in the midst of our third song, the lights went out! The power outage lasted for about 15 minutes, after which we went back on stage to perform "My Brown Lollipop"! Thank you to the responsive audience and organisers of the event!
After a "hum hum sup sup" steamboat dinner, we surprised Ian with a belated birthday celebration too. First we sang a birthday song to him in the jamming room, and then we made him go on stage to sing himself a birthday song haha. The chocolate cube cake was pretty yummy too! Happy Birthday Ian!
Anyway, we have a gig on this Sunday for the National Vertical Marathon. So stay tuned for details over the next couple of days! Hope you're all having a good week and a Happy Lunar New Year!

1. One thing can lead to another.
2. People change for a reason.
3. When in doubt, keep quiet.
4. When necessary, look not how you feel.
5. Always look at the big picture.

Make It Right & My Brown Lollipop
2 more videos of our original songs @ Surf 'n' Sweat 2007. As expected, the sound quality isn't fantastic since it's an outdoor gig with minimum setup. So if you can't listen to the words clearly, here are the lyrics to both songs!
You pulled me out just in the nick of time
You showed me how to love and live a life
I finally know where I should go from here
Sooner or later things will be alright
I don't wanna let you down, I don't wanna let you down
I'm doing what I can to stay afloat
But sometimes I feel that nothing's going right
I see you smiling right at me again
What can I say I guess I'll do the same
I just wanna make it right, I just wanna make it right
I'll put the past behind and try to start anew
I'll fight each day with rigour that I never knew
So take my hand and let's rise up against the world
Cos here I am and there is where I wanna be
I don't wanna let you down, I don't wanna let you down again
I just wanna make it right, I just wanna make it right today
I'm doing what I can to stay afloat
But sometimes I feel that nothing's going right
I see you smiling right at me again
What can I say I guess I'll do the same
I just wanna make it right, I just wanna make it right
So take my hand and let's rise up against the world
Cos here I am and there is where I wanna be
We're sailing down a winding river now
We're all alone in a forsaken town
What's that I see, it's high upon a cloud
Oh take me away into another day
I don't wanna let you down, I don't wanna let you down again
I just wanna make it right, I just wanna make it right today
I don't wanna let you down, I don't wanna let you down
I just wanna make it right, I just wanna make it right today
Don't wanna let you down, don't wanna let you down
Don't wanna ever let you down
Just wanna make it right, just wanna make it right
Just wanna make it right tonight
Don't wanna let you down, don't wanna let you down
Don't wanna ever let you down
Just wanna make it right, just wanna make it right
Just wanna make it right tonight
Show me yours, I'll show you mine
Let's show the world what we have got
Tell me who you want to be
Tell me what you wanna see
Don't be shy now, don't you hide it
If you got it, then just show it
What's the use of having a gift that you wish no one in the world could see
Show me yours, I'll show you mine
Let's see if you know where it should belong
Tell me when did you last have
A really big brown lollipop
Come on baby, come on board now
Take a chance honey, take a bow
What's the use of having a life when you don't know the way it should be lived
Show the world what you got, don't you be afraid
What's the worst that could happen to you anyway
If you got it, then just show it, don't you be afraid
What really matters is that you can tell the world you tried
Nah-hoo-ooo-woh-oh-oh (x3)
So come on show the world what we have got
Show me yours, I'll show you mine
Let's show the world what we have got
Tell me who you want to be
Tell me what you wanna see
Don't be shy now, don't you hide it
If you got it, then just show it
What's the use of having a gift that you wish no one in the world could see
Show the world what you got, don't you be afraid
What's the worst that could happen to you anyway
If you got it, then just show it, don't you be afraid
What really matters is that you can tell the world you tried
Nah-hoo-ooo-woh-oh-oh (x3)
So come on show the world what we have got
Show me what you got (x4)

A Day At The Beach
Here are more photos from Surf 'n' Sweat last sunday @ Tanjong Beach. It is always fabulous to play at the beach with the kiss of the sun and sea breeze, accompanied by the sand and the trees around us. This year we did 2 sets of 30 mins each and it was really hot and humid out there, even to the extent that some of us were feeling sick!!! Nevertheless it was a great event. A big thank you to the Surf 'n' Sweat Organizers for creating big waves at the beach once again!!! Last but not least... a shout out to our beautiful/handsome, gorgeous, sexy and hot photographers, Pris & Weetz... thanx for always being there to babysit us!!!
