A few hours before our countdown gig at the Marina Barrage, I got a call from Harry of Power 98, who informed me that "If It Wasn't For You" was in the Top 5 Local Songs of 2008.
It's the first time that one of our songs has been given such an accolade, and we're really grateful for all the blessings of 2008.
Which probably explains why I felt pretty emotional while watching the video that was playing on the huge screen during the countdown gig. It just felt very surreal to be standing on stage in front of thousands of people who were looking on at the fireworks, knowing that I was experiencing the first moments of a new year, and about to deliver one of the biggest gigs of my life.
And you know, it did turn out to be one of our best gigs ever in terms of audience reception. People were jumping, clapping, screaming and even moshing, and I can still vividly remember most of the faces I spotted in the crowd.
Have a great year ahead people, and here's a taste of our first gig of 2009:
