Xmas Party for Orphans at the Legend Hotel

Ed and his lil bro, Melvin were invited to perform at a Christmas party for about 200 orphans from an orphanage in Puchong, Selangor. This event was held at the Legend Hotel, Kuala Lumpur on 18 December 2008! They were there with Bro Daniel Gomez (the song writer - Mercy Love) and Rodney (the bassist). What better way to kick off the Xmas celebration!!! An added bonus for Ed and Mel was that Malaysia's singing sensation, Francesca Peters, was also there and they managed to sing a couple of Xmas songs with her on stage. A truly rewarding and enriching experience indeed for the both of them!!

Edward's First Major Band Performance

07 Dec 2008 was a very special day for Ed and the whole family! It was the Grand Finals of the Starmaker National Song Writing Competition and Ed's band (D'Basic) qualified for the finals! The song "Mercy Love" was written by Daniel Gomez and Ed played the lead guitar. Mum, Dad, Lil bro Melvin and Amamah were all there to provide moral and vocal support!! Have to also mention that Lil bro Melvin stood in for the drummer for the practice session and rehearsal as the drummer was away on an important assignment that morning. Melvin did a great job as a stand-in!! Didn't know he could play the drums that well!! Well known Malaysian celebrities graced the event (Amber Chia - Malaysia's First Super Model, and International singing sensation Zainal Abdidin, just to name a few). It was indeed a very proud moment for all of us as Ed and his band put up a fantastic performance. Ed's lead guitar solo that night captured many hearts and he has quite a number of fans on his list now (all GIRLS!!!). Here are some photos of the band and Ed performing! Cheers!
