Been very busy the past few weeks

YES! I'M SO FREAKIN BUSY the past few weeks. First, it's my hamster's sickness, then my Industrial-Based Project, then the Chinese New Year preparation, then an outdoor performance for the elderly, then a performance for an environment event, then performing for TalentQuestX competition and then now Atrium got sick again, and he's getting worse then before!

I thought he's gonna be fully heal soon, unfortunately, the moment he finished his medication, his diarreo is back! Though is not as horrible as before, but he became very thin and weak. So sad!!! I have no choice but to continue his medication and feeding food again, hoping he will get well soon.


My sick Atrium... =(

For the outdoor performance for the elderly, I performed "Ai Wo Bie Zhou" by Zhang Zhen Yue. The organisers want old songs and that song is the oldest song I can go. LOL! Anyway, its just for a performing experience, the elderly there don't really care for good vocals or stage presentation. And so the me and the performers there had a great time improvising songs and anyhow jam on the keyboard up on stage with so many elderly watching us. Haha! And also, Zi Qin is the main highlight for that day, she really sound like Deng Lu Jun and the elderly can relate to her voice.

For the performance for the environment event, many students and teachers from different secondary schools came to gather for the event in Ngee Ann Conventional Centre. I have to perform 2 songs, "Ai Wo Bie Zhou" again and "On The Way Down" by Ryan Cabrera. It was the reahearsal day when I heard news from Olivia, my IBP group mate, said that the sound for our film "Yi" turn out well in the preview theatre. I was really happy to hear that. Ok, back to the actual performance day, as I was performing I saw Zi Qin and Project Superstar Wee Jian there. So nervous to perform in front of the 2 pros. Unfortunately, I was overly nervous and I CRACKED MY SINGING FOR ON THE WAY DOWN!!! AND ITS NOT EVEN THE HIGHEST NOTE!!! SO EMBARRASSING!!! Zi Qin is like "diao (-_-!)"... After the event, I don't even wanna face anybody and left school to prepare for my TalentQuestX performance later.

Ok, for the TalentQuestX performance, I had been told by the organisers that I've got into the finals for the song original composition category and I have to showcase it during the TalentQuestX vocal semi-finals, which is on the day of the environment performance event. So I went to Tiffany's house to rehearse my song. Stupid Tiffany keep complaining the key of the song too high. Lol! But she really did a good job singing for my song. And so that night of the vocal semi-finals, me and Tiffany went to the stage with the SCC keyboard (which is freakin heavy and its the only keyboard that I can get for plugging my CD player in...). We were shock to find the place in a pub and sonia is in the semi-finals too! So we were sitting together with Yu Bin (a very good vocalist) watching the others doing their sound check. We saw a contestant there who looks like Hor Wei Jian and Hong Jun Yang and sings like Cao Ge and Zhang Xing Zhe. Wahahaha!!! What a hybrid! Oh! We also saw a couple performing a jazz song. The man was a malay, playing the piano, more pro than Mark Yu Chun or Amos, able to sing as good as Micheal Buble and the woman was an eurasian, singing like some caucasian singers. They are DAMN FEAKIN GOOD!!! We was telling Yu Pin that they will confirm win the duet category. They are like those professional pub performers and they are in their 20s or 30s.

I have been told that my performance is after the duet performances. And after all the duets have compete, I went up onto the stage with Tiffany feeling very nervous and SCARED... BECAUSE I HAVE NOT SEEN THE FREAKIN PRO JAZZ COUPLE PERFORM IN THE DUET COMPETITION!!! Fortunately, there are no mistakes when we are performing my song. And the next performance from the composing category is THAT JAZZ COUPLE!!! Die la... No hope liao... Actually still got a bit, because their song is not commercial, not like guang liang this kind which most people like. Oh ya! And one of the 3 judges is actually a music school director that I helped for performing for her school opening ceremony!!! A girl contestant, RJ, from my course actually regconised me and call out for me and Wendy on that day. And Sonia really improve A LOT in her vocals based on the day I saw her in NP Idol. Seems like Wee Jian has been training her well. Oh! Wee Jian was there to support her too, he came down after the environment event. So cool, get to meet so many people I know...

Sonia, Yu Pin, and RJ got into the finals for the vocal category!!! The final showdown for all the categories will be on 31st March at ACS Barker!!! If you able to make it, come support me leh... Wahahahahah!!! For SCC members, support Yu Pin and Tiffany also! For NP Idol people, come support Sonia. This is so freakin scary since its my first time in a competiton...

I'll be back...
