It was the 8th of June, the first round of the Mandarin SInging Competition (organized by Radio TV Brunei and E-Huawang.com). We gathered at the 24hrs cafe of Bandar and Me and suan were craving for Nasi Katok, but to prevent our throats get itchy, we decided to skip that. We arrived at RTB at 6:30pm. We met a few friends there as well and we were all like “I come here to accompany my friend. :P” The Afternoon session wasn’t done yet, and hence it delayed the Night Session’s recording.
At the Registration booth, we have to fil up a form which asked us funny questions like what’s ur favorite country, favorite food, and what will you do if you win and etc.. after that its the briefing. I got really nervous + worry + excited after the briefing! I think is the way he briefed.. then we wait and wait, and i was really worry!
if this guy in pink would had sit straight, you can see my face liao..
Check out how Jamy and the Cousin warming up.. later me and suan also warming up in this corridor.
The recording room was very cold, there were a few contestants and friends sitting at the back, A Big microphone hanging down from the ceiling. we were given about 30secs for trial, and the real recording begun. I enjoyed the moment to sing in that environment, but there were 2 parts of the song which i wasn’t manage to voice out! :”) After all, I was so relieved that it’s over! Jamy did very well. I think Jamy and Xiao Xia can get into top 20. I’m feeling great, and i’m glad that I joined and I enjoyed every moment of it. I will always remember the week, when all of us practise together, and how we encouraged each other. And XiaoXia just got married the day before this.
The result will be availble online and on radio from 15th June on wards, they will announce one contestant a day.
We went to Nasi Katok right after that, We were so hungry and desperate for nasi katok. Yummy!!
Meanwhile, my family was having fun in Seria for the RIce Dumpling Day. I’m not sure about Singapore and Malaysia, But in Brunei, you can see people throwing Rice Dumpling to the Sea at Seria’s Beach only. I miss doing that! I duno when is the next Rice Dumpling day which will fall on a Sunday. I remember the last time i did that was like mmm 10++ years ago!
and i don’t understand why all my little cousins suddenly look so tall!!
Hi, YC here. I wonder how did you get into my blog?
From my blog : “From my vague memory, i remembered that there’s a girl who sing ’sa gua’ nicely”
Your voice really amuses me, remember there’s a part where they allow you guys to ‘test run’? When you’re on your ‘actual run’ i thought they didn’t turn to ‘karaoke’ mode yet! Mana tau that’s your voice. impressive. That’s how strong you are, will be voting you =]
jiayou. link? =]
