Once I was treated like a Star

Eversince my recording was published on the E-Huawang Website, my family and friends been trying to make me feel like a star… My family and relatives who seldom listen to RTB, started to listen everyday and waited for my song to broadcast on air..

It was on Eric’s Birthday, Caryn and Rachel babysit me thru out the whole dinner… and they asked me “futurestar” to present the birthday gift to Eric on behalf of all… Linda also labelled me as Superstar SJ in her photos on her facebook.  Another occasion was on Darius 1st Birthday, they took picture of me signing autographs.. More pictures from Bernice coming up soon…

Mum didn’t let me eat anything fried or spicy few days b4 the contest. She sponsored my family the tickets for the semi final. its B$15 each by the way. Received a white rose for good luck from my fans.

It was 13th July, the Semi Final of the Singing Contest. I was kind of worry that day, even the day before. Because i still can’t remember the lyrics well. I woke up at 8am and went to RTB for rehearsal. My competitor cum singing practise partner sms me to remind me to bring jacket. I sang quite well during rehearsal. Uncle 4 and Silvia purposely rushed back from Miri to make sure me and Yi Fan’s Key is adjusted correctly.

Got home at 10am and relax for a while. I planned to wear a dark green dress too look elegant and low profile. But everyone said i look like i was going to office. then the very last minute, they changed my dress completely, Angela, Vui and Mum made me looked like a star. Well, some said i looked like a High class Escort! haha… Oh by the way, this dress was from Tim Collections – 2nd floor of the Mall. – Free advertisement.

Eahui my no 1 fans admiring me…

Vui my other fan was trying to get near me, luckily i have a pregnant bouncer to push her away from me…

I sang one more time b4 i left home. Uncle 2 family were there, and they were so sporting to cheer out loud after i sang. Uncle 2 said if there isn’t many people standing outside then don’t get down from the car, must wait til everyone is there, then only get down.  hehe.. anyway, i was one of the last to arrive and i wasn’t too nervous after talking to a few contestants. I made friends. YC – a fren whom i met after the recording thru blog came to say Hi.

My supporters: Dad, Mum, Uncle 4,  Silvia, Jiayng, Vui, Stephen, Angela, Lawrence, Grandma, Beeyi, Hwayi, Cheng Cheng, Wj. When Grandma said she wanted to see me sing, that reminded me about the last singing contest i had 17 yrs ago, she was there too… Stephen was so surprised to see my whole kampong came. Well, everyone knew i will not get thru this round, and if they didn’t come this time, they won’t see me sing on stage again…

Surprisely I wasn’t nervous at all when it was my turn. I think i presented myself steadily i Looked at the audience and i saw quite a no of ppl i know down there watching at me.. but i didn’t sing well. Well, this is a singing contest not a presentation contest…

There was a small waiting area for the contestants, we were all chatting and had fun waiting.

Below is the video shot when they announcing who got eliminated… XiaoXia was standing beside me, when the MC opened the list, she lifted up high enough and Xiao Xia told me “Aiya.. i saw my name liao”, i took a peep, and  i laffed “I saw my name too!” then we both giggling there.

Right after i got back from RTB, i couldn’t resist anymore, so i started to eat durian!! I didn’t eat the day b4 for my throat. After all, I am very happy for what i’ve went through. The experience of song recordings in a real studio, famly and friends treated me like a star, replying comments i received from people who heard my singing, The Critics about me on E-huawang, my performance on stage and friends who keep asking for the progress of the Singing Contest and more… I will not forget this experience and I am looking forward for the other “To-Do Things” in my Life List to be Accomplished!
