Happy place. 🙂 Always a pleasure to back my girl @kextay - watching her evolve as an artiste and a human is the best part of our friendship. 🥂 to a great showcase of so many original songs, here's to more coming up!!! 💙😘💙 . Thank you @lousycameraman for all the great 📸! #paradoxical

2009 / 2019 Famous last words from the maternity nurse: "This baby is very naughty." 🙃 Happy Give-Birth Day Mummy! #10yearchallenge

And of course *this* is your top favourite. 🥰 I made so many friends from this video! The community of drummers I have "met" through IG is my most treasured part of Instagram and social media. From the bottom of my 🖤, thank you all so much. I see conscious effort (in those whom i follow at least) to lead by example, share anecdotes, dish out life/drumming advice, inspire - basically spreading love, light and positive vibes to one another like a big drumming fam. 🥰 Love. It. And now, new year, new things, new resolutions to break and keep, practice goals to set and be realistic with lol. Last few days to reflect of on 2018 and kiss it goodbye with a warm hug and a huge thank you. Can't wait for 2019! Happy New Year everyone!!! Hope you have a magical NYE. ✨

In 2nd place is this Prince cover - *my* personal favourite cos I had the most fun with it from pre to post. Thanks for making it one of your favourites too! I love this version from his live performance on the Tonight Show in 2004. 💜 #princeismusic 👉🏻👉🏻 for the original footage of the 1st clip straight off the camera. You can hear the Thi-Hats with the Paiste splashes pretty clearly.

🇸🇬 being the 2018 hosting country for ASEAN means many ASEAN concerts and I get to make music with my good friend @tontrakul_k from Thailand twice this year! His track Isan Lum Long is dope af. Had too much fun with my percussion brother @govintan_hashbrownmaster (who also took these pics in the gif!) in the ASEAN Street Band led by the wonderful Mei Shuem. 💙 Huge thank you to Miss @annie.pek for putting us together! Concert pics by Bertrand Grandgeorge - thank you!

Can you guess what song I'm covering here with just the camera audio? 👉🏻 Swipe for the answer, last video is where I used this take. I got the Thi-Hats to do songs ppl usually go "you can't do THAT on cajon?!" This was the first video i used it for and although friends say I look terrible in it (bless their hearts), it's still one of my favourite covers to date. #stubborn #noragrets 🤘🏻🖤

🎄 Impossible to lose myself in the music without forgetting to look chio. Swipe for evidence. 👉🏻🤓 That said, last week was absolutely delicious. Totally vibed off @jordanwei7777 and @mathildadsilva and definitely felt the Xmas spirit! I mean, look at that lil' girl in the video. 💚🥰✨ Gonna be playing at the Christmas Village outside Ngee Ann City till 20th Dec every Thursday, come chill amidst the Xmas shopping madness 7:30pm - 9:30pm. xx 📷 - George Cheng 🎥 - Boss man @bluesloong

More shaker videos - which do you prefer 1, 👉🏻2 or 👉🏻👉🏻3? *Attempts at pitch changing and shaker throwing in a single clip aborted mid mission because of proximity to waterfall. 🙃 But I do love these @selacajon shakers: the blue and green ones are my favourites! 💚💙

Struck by Last Project Syndrome while on holiday cos our wayfaring spirits totally reminded me of this song as I (song title alert:) wandered everywhere with a 🎒! I pretty much played only woodblocks on it but I savoured every note like they were the precious little 👣👣 of said wanderer (ME). 🌐💬 "I don't know if I'll find my dreams far away in these lofty lands, but I do know that I'll find these lands basking in radiantly blazing sunshine."☀️👉🏻 Light-seeking, 🌈-questing wanderer within: ✅✅ Shot by: MY MOTHER
