    A Note For Struggling Musicians: Thank You For Inspiring Us

    Random thoughts.

    I’m sure everyone here agrees that it can be difficult surviving as a musician especially in SG ( or well perhaps anywhere else in the world to be fair ) . I get asked alot if i could survive solely as a musician and the answer is “yes !! ” . My way is not the only way possible and there are definitely many other musicians that i know who are doing a much better job at this. (P.s!! i’m a nobody and pls treat this post as a random long comment )

    There are also a number of ppl who are still trying to break in and i would like to say that it is possible and don’t ever give up on your dreams . Hard Work always pay off. Keep believing in yourself.

    I see my peers and some of my musician friends working really hard and trying to make a difference in whatever they do and i just wanna say thank you for inspiring , for being so passionate about your music and for being the hardworking you . Be it your originals or being in a cover band , sessionists or even organizers , managers , sound engineers , music cafes or music club owners etc etc … everyone is making a difference . So to everyone who don’t get a thank u for all that hard work , here’s a little shout out to all of you . Thank you for the music and the opportunities and ooh keep all those videos coming. So informative and i love it. I’ll share it as much as i can .

    I’m sure that you have definitely shed a tear at some point of your life and i just want you to know that you are greatly appreciated.

    If you are reading this, i thank you . I know you’ll never get this few minutes of your life back haha. Sorry for the long post. This is just a random post . Sorry.. Good Night and Good Morning

    26 Year Old Mother Of Two Young Children: Please Help My Family!

    Hi Gilbert,

    I hope this email find you well.

    This is the first time I’m writing to you.

    I am a 26 years old lady with 2 kids age 3 and 1.

    My husband is a freelance driver. Recently, we moved in to our new flat in Punggol.

    There are both infant and childcare services available under my flat.

    However, most childcare facility requires deposit + full month school fees in order to enrolled them in.

    Due to this, I only managed to enrol my elder daughter at the childcare. While I have to leave my full time job and take care of my younger daughter.

    Since we have move in to a new flat, we do not have extra monies for installing the window grill and kitchen top. We  move in few months ago and we mainly pack food everyday.

    The food in Punggol is extremely expensive.

    A pack of fried rice can cost as much as $5.50. I really hope to seek your advice so I can set up my kitchen top to settle our meals. I do not wish to let my kids to eat outside food for long.

    I am really worry that this will affect their health.

    Beside that, I hope to have my window grill up asap due to the safety of my growing up kids.

    Hope to seek for your advice soon.

    Regards,

    Worried

    Editor’s note: If you can assist the young couple, please let us know especially if you can provide low-cost window grilles to the struggling couple. Its a 4-room BTO flat.
