I never like to join any competition either for singing or composing, but some friends just told me, why don't you just give it a try... They passed me a website for an International Chinese Christian Song Writing Competition held by Agape Renewal Center. When I log in to their website, I'm really attracted by the prize... (that happens all the time) So I decided to give it a try!

So I simply choose 1 of the song that I composed, recorded into a CD as demo and sent it with the entry form...

At that time I don't really know what the competition is going to be like, so I didn't really felt pressured. After they announced the results only I know, there are so many people from China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Canada, USA and many more joining the competition. But thank God, I got a 3rd place!

The song was originally titled as The Sky Is Dark (天黑了), but the host call me and asked me to change the title to Light Of The World (世界的光). But think I like the original title more... hahaha...

In year 2006, I've join Gecko Music Sdn. Bhd. as an Assistant Producer, Sound Engineer and also a Sessionist for acoustic guitars, electric guitars, keyboard, bass and drums. Gecko Music Sdn.

While producing this album, people are touch by these songs written by Dr. Sean and we felt that it should be share to not only english educated people but also chinese educated people, so with the grace of God I managed to translate all the songs according to the original meaning into chinese and title it as 犹如献祭. I'm also invited by Dr. Sean as the male vocal in this chinese album.
