{ Moments of Truth }
I was looking at Idols' profiles and I am really envious of what they have achieved. Hmmm when will my time come? Or will it even come at all? It is so difficult to hit it big in Singapore. Sigh. What's up with putting more emphasis on the arts scene man. No difference at all. 12:55 AM • Friday, December 05, 2008
Looking back at what I've achieved... Hmm let's see... when I was in sec 1, I was in band. I was from the trumpet section before I got transfered to the euphonium section. At that time, lunchtime mini concerts were held during breaks and I took part in it. I remembered.. I did a duet with my friend and I sang solo after that. It was "I need you tonight" by Backstreet Boys. Haha gosh that was like 8 years ago -.- and after I sang, the seniors from choir all came up to me and asked me to join choir instead lol. well yeah i did transfer to choir and I've been in choir ever since. Umm i think 5 years. including JC as well.
Then I took part in singing competitions in school annually from sec 1 onwards. From sec 1 to 4, I'm proud to say that I've only gotten 1st and 2nd positions and nothing lower than that. =x haha maybe it's just because the good singers don't bother themselves with this kind of singing competitions. =.= oh wells haha.
In JC, I didn't take part in any singing competitons. But I had a solo part for my choir I did for concert which gave me a good experience. And also I was one of the 4 soloists for my JC's opening ceremony which added to my experience as well.
On to NS, I took part in my formation's Idol singing competiton and I came in 2nd. haha. not bad. not bad. Then I took part in Impressario organised by NTU with my friend. We did duet but we didn't make it to semi-finals due to lack of votes from friends. Or should I say, NO votes at all cos our friends didn't go down whereas other groups had tons of friends to vote for them. My friend is from a music school and she knows one of the judges. We went to ask them about our performance and the judges said they thought we had the best connection and we would make it through the semi-finals. Too bad on the votes side. DAMN IT. Thinking about it still makes me feel a bit disappointed cos I know we could have won the duet category!!! The other groups were okay only and I know we two were the best!!! Especially since we have been singing together in choir since sec 2 to JC 1, which is like for 4 years!! Argh still pissed. lol.
Ah. How can I forget about Singapore Idol and Project Superstar. Well I didn't make it through the first round of both. And most people might find it weird (I hope so) cos I would have made it to the second round at least. But no. I didn't. Thus, at that period, I really felt lousy and felt as though I've let the whole world down, even myself too. Maybe cos I'm not goodlooking enough? Or I think I'm too good, thus the failure. I don't know. Every year, my wish would be to improve on my singing. And I think I have improved. Oh wells. Haha
Now that I'm in NTU, I told myself before that I would take part in any singing competitions if I can. I just registered for the upcoming Impressario =) Hope I can make it through without my friend this time around. Hah. I know I can at least make it through to 2nd round =/ FRIENDS pls vote for me if I ever make it through to quarter-finals cos from that round onwards, need votes from public as well =/ and I know my NTU friends won't let me down right? (HINT HINT)
But first I must not let down myself by making pass the auditions first haha. I think it's next week. No wait, its on 12 Dec haha. Damn I'm quite scared. =/
Ok I think I've typed quite a lot. Time to go to bed. Till then, I'll update about my singing stuff =) Oyasuminasai!
