Audition "Impresario 2013"

Going for an audition for the second time.
感觉还蛮不错的!:D

She came out giving me a heads up, "The standard is really high. They gave very direct comments, more attitude, actions, feelings, voice too sweet already..." First time seeing her so flustered, what's more, during a singing audition.

*Excitement level shoots up* woooo~

"Yup, you guys are next. Come come.", the friendly crew gestured with a wave of his hand.
(Seriously, the crew there were all very friendly! At registration booth, at briefing station, at ushering station etc. First time meeting them but yet they were so supportive as though we were close frineds, "加油!Good luck!")

Entered the room with at least 12 pairs of eyes staring at us.
  • 2 judges (Jayden & Jay Lim if im not wrong)
  • >10 crew
  • 1 videocamera man
Music start -- 珊瑚海 -- Comments from judges
  1. 音量足够
  2. 要有主次之分,男生应带领。倘若女生带领,就好像她整首歌都在骂你!(Everyone LOL-ed! hahaha!)
  3. 太 flat 了!
  4. Must have accent, you're like trying to catch the right pitch instead of focusing on the song.
Haha. I still have lots to learn! But i guess, the $17 registration fee was worth it. Like a mini singing lesson by two famous singing teachers!

What made me quite stunned with delight was.. The crew actually wanted to take pictures with us hahah! Like fans meeting their idols. Signing document halfway and they just pop up beside us lol. ^^

E (Miss 510) told us the crew outside were amazed by our voice! :)
听了真开心,至少感动到一群人。
对我来说,这样已经是成功了。
晋级与否,顺其自然!

We've made it, already.

Results out end December.
More updates on Impresario in a few month's time.
大家晚安~

oh oh! Z proposed few days back in Batam! woo 大嫂~ ^^

诗人

望着阴冷的天空,
突然觉得心里富有诗意,就 ...


乌黑之物,循循显露。
天色灰蒙,仅露一线。
黑点四处,徘徊似物。
流连忘返,乌合已故。

Audition

First time auditioning for a singing competition. [uid, level 3, cove]

Jitters for sure, but at a point in time, felt touched that there were so many friends supporting. <3

We did our best, we can only hope for the best. :)
最重要的是,尝试过、表现过、享受过。

A Promise: If one goes out, the other MUST stay and persist till the end. No giving up; shine on.

1st - $188 (treats for family, friends and of course, ourselves) ^^

十年

Dad's 60th

A simple dinner at 秀才 wif 阿嬷 n relatives, followed by karaoke drained everybody's energy lol.
To make it memorable, i tapped on my artsy side to make a bdae card for daddy. Although we wrapped an angbao for dad, he was only engrossed in the writings on the card haa. 钱,在自制卡片旁,毫无看头。:)

Ohana Day (十周年)

Immediately after K, i chionged down to costa sands so tt i could c lovely ohanies <3 i mus say, the trip down was worth it. Despite strong opposition frm dad n mum (都这么迟了,不要去! 你还要去啊?!), i persisted lol. Gift exchange was filled wif laughter (zhi's epic drawings, L stories HAHA), unique gifts (zr's must-return policy), bare your soul (yc's song, message etc) and much more.. A really great decade.

可惜,maxie cmi! Sobs.. But forgiven due to health issues. Glad he's alright now. Cont wif ur fruit m veg diet! Hopefully we can have a complete gathering soon. :)

思念

刚才在厕所,突然想起外婆 (popo) 与姨丈。
希望他们在天上无忧无虑,过得愉快。
虽然不挂在嘴边说,但我相信大家心里还想念着你们俩。


Time for bed.
G'nite world. :)

For the first time.

Camp Ragnarök 2012

It was an exhilarating three-day camp where i saw people do/say things beyond self, beyond boundaries.

I must say, I was abit shocked at my own "rara-ness" too haha. :b

04/08/12:

They started strolling in, group by group. We greeted them with big smiles on our faces. Some looked apprehensive, while others exuded a tad of enthusiasm. After a few rounds of simple introduction n icebreakers, we started walking around the big campus.

Open War was conducted in the afternoon. Mini station games were played. Haha, to think we were already noticing their every actions n speech even before we knew we had to choose a Best Freshie (from 4 groups). Nevertheless, i felt that each of them had a particular strength which i adored.

Night came and screams echoed throughout the hallway.
Q: "Who is the One?"
A: "Perd Lao Mei!"
woo a mystery/horror walk arnd campus to solve a murder case, a very refreshing idea indeed :)

05/08/12:

Rise & Shine at 0700hrs for.. breakfast, followed by "Clash of the Titans" (a.k.a. Amazing Race).
After travelling for half a day, everyone's legs were aching and im sure energy levels dipped a little.

Reflections at night allowed freshies to reflect on
- what went wrong?
- what went right?
- how to improve for future camps?
(a little bit of grp reflection was done too.. albeit a little too brief due to time shortage :/ )

Jeremiah's bdae surprise by THOR, Mojo, Camp Destiny ex-co at 1220hrs~ ^^ i guess he was really touched, his "thank you" speech was filled to the brim wif emotions!

haha asking ppl to meet me in the dark canteen just to write their bdae wishes on the card, coordinating where to meet b4 surprise, how to keep him occupied so we can do all the abovementioned.. was all worth it :)

creamy fruity cake

To think i got spotted (sian to e max).
J: yy!
me: (stunned. look in direction. continue walking)
J: (pause) yy! is that you? 你在做什么?
me: (siao liao siao liao. scurries to canteen. LOL)

After sending freshies off to bed at 0200hrs, some of us seniors had our own HTHT! :D haha, or rather a post-pract sharing of experience & emotions :) off to bed at 0430hrs.

06/08/12

Final day of camp.

We, THOR seniors were treated like VIPs during breakfast. They kept asking us to sit while they served breakfast to us, and.. gave us handmade cards awww~ (pitch goes up lol). Really touched as i didn't expect freshies to give seniors gifts durin their camp! haa. a truly unforgettable first time :')

Uber Frisbee saw THOR, LOKI, ODIN & FREYR playing against each other. The ultimate match would be the last, where "Seniors VS. Freshies" matches were played. It was definitely tiring as everyone played their best for this event!

"Must win, must win. Just 1 more point to do better than the prev match. Must mark this guy. C'mon, faster yy, swift actions!" haha thoughts were running through my mind omg. but i must say, it was really enjoyable. even fostered relations among seniors.

Final score: 13 - 7. WOHOO! xD

The final event of camp (i shall call it - reflections via the intertwining of string) witnessed tears of mixed emotions as groups did their own reflections, verbally expressing our own thoughts abt each member of the group.

OK, i admit. Tears welled up in my eyes n my nose just kept leaking lol. They not only learned from us, we learned as much from them too. Their words of gratitude n encouragement, knowing tt this is my first time, made me feel i've accomplished my goal of establishing a close bond among them.

Assistant Group Leader (AGL)

A truly unforgettable experience. :')

Annoymous Mei, "Don't know why but just being with you makes ppl feel happy. U got tt aura." ^^

关怀 - 孝心

今天,可说是我最自我满意的一天。 准备了几天,终于如我所预料的,他们哭了。

观看、感受、联想、感动。

很庆幸他们也很开放,愿意分享个人经历。 从中,也让我更进一步地了解这群 5-4 的孩子们。 接近尾声,他们的眼神像在暗示我:我明白了,谢谢。

我的心在笑。

我告诉自己:这堂,成功了。
