In the Living Room with Nicholas Chim


It was very generous and brave of B to open up his home to host a mini living room concert. Not ticketed of course. Many responded, and sat down for a mellow and intimate evening with local singer-songwriters Fym Summer (Foo Yumin), Debra Khng and Nicholas Chim.

As how it works with these gigs, I didn't need to schmooze. I didn't know everyone in the room, but ended up chatting with people I sat next to. B's two cats were so curious, but weren't too fussed with the humans. We brought our own drinks and nibbles. B told us to use the fridge at will since people bought stuff to share. Crackers, chips, and cheese. There might even have been a pizza. There were beers, whisky and wine. I brought a little tumbler of iced water that kept cold. It was tasty when I needed to go alcohol-free for an intense cardio session in the morning.

Nicholas Chim has written new songs, and is headed off to Europe on a ‘Terrible Luck’ tour. Debra Khng will join him on this European sojourn. He did his new single ‘Down The Way’, and it sounded really good. Different from his earlier songs. Lots of new influences in the music. What a lovely way to spend an evening. Good luck and have fun, Nick!
