Chicken Pox AGAIN!!!

Yea, the saga of my luckily days are back to haunt me! This time it has reached to the ultimate stage, I've got chicken pox again... I can't go for work for 2 weeks, have to stay at home for this period of time. Well, at least i can still maple... Oh! By the way, I'm back to Mapling again! Thats why I haven't been updating my blog.

A few days back, I went to collect my talentquestX prizes and Atrium's urn.
This is his urn:



As for the TalentQuestX prizes, I've got a Creative Prodikeys Keyboard (Its a PC-MIDI music keyboard attached to a typewriting keyboard.), a Sennheiser HD202 Headphones and a few vocuchers and VIP cards. The money will have to wait for a few more days. So, Tiffany and Wendy, if you see this, tell me what you want ok? I've ought to split these stuff to you two.

And also, Anna is back!!! She called me a few days ago telling me that she's in Singapore.

By the way, I realised that I forgot to introduce my two gerbils. I got them a few days after Atrium's death.


Can't think of a name for them yet though...

Lately, I've been composing a new song. Its called 世界另一边. Lyrics is written by Wendy, again. She's really good, I think she can offcially be my lyricist for all my songs liao. Lol! This is the 1st song that I'm able to understand the meaning and emotions protrayed in it. Probably its because its like the reflection of how I miss Atrium. Haha!

Think I got to go, I can see the sun rising slowly now. Cya!

Atrium is back!

TalentQuestX

Yo! Yesterday was the finals for TalentQuestX Vocal, Group and Song Composition Competition! So obviously I'm gonna write about my experience there as a contestant.

Its so great to have so many people that I know in the finals. People like Yu Pin, Sonia and PJ. Fortunately they are in the vocal category, so I'm not competiting with them. Haha! It great to be able to share and understand the nervousness we are going through during though times. Of course we did encourage each other. Its also great to make friends with so many music lovers there, and also the make-up artists! Lol! Oh! And they trimmed my eyebrown! AHaha! So scary... And also they made Tiffany look great that day. Oh! And everyone wore blazers that day, only me wearing that brown hooded jacket that SCC bought for me during my birthday. I look so kinda weird and extra, but I don't care! I have officially call that jacket my lucky charm and I will feel good because its a gift from my fellow SCC buddies.

Maybe I should talk more about the technical side of the show. Its actually worse than NP Idol for the video recordings of the contestants' interview and mic settings. But their stage lightings are MARVELOUS!!! Especially in PJ's performance. As for the program booklet, they really did it professionally well. I like my photo in the booklet, so shuai... Haha! Omg, I'm so thick skin...

Then, my SCC friends came down to support me, Tiffany and Yu Pin. I wanna thank Maxwell, Ivy, Guo Long, Wan Ting, Zi Qin, Fun, Xing Hu, and Wee Jian for supporting us and voting for us. Did I miss out anyone? Lol!

And so, its me and Tiffany turn to perform. I was very nervous and at the same time worried that the SCC keyboard will screw up on me by playing that retarded drum beat. Oh! I forgot to say I brought the SCC keyboard there. Another lucky object, er... actually not really... Sometimes, that keyboard will screw up by playing a comical drum beat unintentionally. Anyway, we perform and it was great! I didn't play any wrong notes, Tiffany didn't go flat or struggle. And the keyboard screw up by playing the comical drum beat, but it only did it when the song end and when Tiffany is bowing. Its was like THE PERFECT TIMING TO PLAY THE DRUM BEAT!!! (although that wasn't I what I intended to do) ITS WAS SO PERFECT!!! GOD REALLY BLESSED US!!! Oh! And Tiffany prayed before the performance. Haha! Everyone thought that I played that drum beat intentionally and said it was cool and funny. Lol! After our performance, its was the "God and Goddess" performances, the ones which I talked about in the previous blog post.

Its results time, and I really got super nervous. Its was a different kind of nervousness I felt from before. Probably its because this was my first time entering a competition. Then, the MC announced the 2nd runner-up, it wasn't us. Then, Tiffany kept telling me to visualize getting the 1st. She said its THE SECRET. True enough, WE GOT THE 1ST!!! Er... runner-up... The "God and Goddess" got the 1st. Haha! And for all the song writing trophies are so small and cute compared to the vocal and group ones. So bias... And the vocals category prize money is so much greater. PJ got 2nd and Yu Pin got the 1st, as expected. Haha! Everyone is so happy! Including our new made make-up artist friends. Then we go out and eat, party and chill.

In conclusion, it was a great experience. Kinda shiok actually. I hereby strongly urge SCC members to go try out these kind of competition, it really force yourself to improve for the sake of competition and experience you get from your friends support and on stage is really shiok! Ok! Time to stop writing. Cya!
