30 Aug 2013: MIC Elvis Trio live on NTV7 Breakfast Show

The M.I.C. Elvis Trio was reunited after a few years since our last media event for an expat magazine cover story. The abbreviation M.I.C. simply stands for Malay Indian Chinese. What better occasion to feature us than the Merdeka Eve edition of the Breakfast Show. Awesome!!

Once again, thanks to the owner of Ol' Skool pub, Calvin, he has gotten us a sensational opportunity to for a live performance and interview on a national TV channel.

Our brief practice session

Live rendition of 'Can't Help Falling In Love'

Also on the show was Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye. A chance of a lifetime to meet him in person.

I'm taking this baby home. I mean both the babe and this baby. Yeh baybee..

This ends an eventful month of August 2013. In God's perfect timing during the month, my adventure as Elvis has taken me to many places, including Hong Kong and a TV station too!

18 Aug 2013 : Elvis Marathon at Ol' Skool pub, PJ

Fresh from my live show in Genting the night before, I was the opening act for the bi-annual Elvis Marathon event at Ol' Skool pub in Petaling Jaya. The event commenced from 3 PM, all the way until 3 AM the next day.

Backing me as the live band was none other than The Strangers, headed by drummer boy and my buddy, Jesse. The crowd started to build up at 2 PM and was soon at full house capacity. The other good news was that the local press reporters were present to witness my act, followed by multiple interview sessions.

I was utterly thankful to the owner of Ol' Skool, Calvin for organizing such an amazing event. During the event, Calvin informed me that 1 of the key performers didn't show up and was uncontactable for days. I felt sorry for Calvin, and thought that the least I could do was to fill up a short session before I leave.
And so I sang 2 more songs, 'Doing the best I can' and 'If I can dream', much to the delight of the Elvis fans present.

Just when I thought that it was the end of another wonderful event. It led to another sensational event. News of our Elvis Marathon caught the attention of a local TV network. We were cordially invited for an exclusive interview at the NTV7 Breakfast Show - an experience that rarely comes around....
