A post dedicated to Milkshake $1

Milkshake $1 (M$1) was formed in 2008 to perform in Asean Dance 2008. The first personnels were Kester as drummer, Clifford as keyboardist, Kenny as guitarist, Gide as vocalist, and me as the bassist. The first two songs that we performed were Michael Buble's Everything and David Cook's Time of My Life. Here are the videos of our final rehearsals.

Everything - Milkshake $1 ft. Acong
The Time of My Life - Milkshake $1

Looking back, I realize how simple the songs were and how poorly we played at that time. Last year, my band didn't make it through the audition. I didn't play for the audition though. Was sick at that time. So it was not so bad for me as I didn't feel I tried for the audition. This year, however, Milkshake $1 got new personnels.

So the new composition of our band was as follow:

Drummer: Ivan

Keyboardist: Clifford

Guitarist and Bassist: Kenny

Flute: Peter

Vocalist: Gide

Guitarist: Me

We tried to go for this year's Asean Dance audition. I heard that there were 8 bands who went for the audition. We practiced for about 3 times before the audition. The songs are Digimon theme song Butter-fly and Southborder's Rainbow. I must say that the songs are quite nice (and super difficult too!) I'll post up the videos of the rehearsal on my next post. Promise =)

Unfortunately, our band didn't make it through the audition this year. I was honestly shocked as I really thought our band was already very good. I still think so even now. With the new personnels, Milkshake $1 is definitely a better band this year compared to previous years. We'll look for more opportunities to perform our songs as it will be such a waste not to perform those two songs which we've been practicing so hard.

On a side note, I think God wants to teach me a lesson through this experience. He is humbling me so that my pride won't take control of me. Still regardless of what is happening, my God is still a good God. Thank God for the lesson. God bless you all :)

PS: I'll upload the videos later. Poor internet connection now.
