My First Ever Singing Competition

7pm- I had to rush out of the house because I couldnt afford to miss the briefing. As soon as i got there, BAD NEWS. I called Mark Mojitoh (the organizer ) earlier to inform him that I wish to use the existing karake CD there only to know that the CD is broken. So I went to the nearby CKS mart to look for the CD but it was one unsuccesful attempt. I drove back to Kepayan and tried my luck at the office. My CD was lying on my office desk. :P

I made it just in time for the briefing. There were 13 contestants and I was the 11th contestant to perform. While waiting for my turm to come, me and this other contestant, Bobby Matius (Last constestant to perform) made fun of the other contestants. It wasnt evil but honestly a way to get rid of the nervousness we had.

12.05am- Eventually my turn came (Ngam btl tu time kan? Awal pagi menyanyi.HAHA!).

The MC who introduced me was Davelyne and she asked me a few Qs before I started singing. My knees and my hands were shaking like heLL man!! ...I couldnt control it and it was pretty obvious I think. My 1st song was ok. It wasnt until halfway then I found the momentum to sing it properly. I struggled through my 2nd song. My throat was as dry as sand...

I can never describe how glad I was to reach the end of my excruciating performance. Then comes the time for the judges to give out comments. Somehow I feel like I was in Akademi Fantasia or something. hehe...

1st judge (Monica Ongkosing) : Korosi koh ogi? (Which is Lotud for - U were scared were u?)

Me: Hatei! Bang moita-ita oku poh ( Lotud for - I wish I was drunk)

I could actually hear Othoe laughed in the crowd. Probably the fact the he's the only one who understood the conversation. hEhE...

Judge: I like the way u used the stage. It was a good try. Be more creative with ur performance next time.

Me: Thanx..

2nd Judge (Diana Tuning) : I dont feel like im at you in a singing competition.. I feel like im looking at you at your own concert...In the future,U shud try considering going your own way and singing at your own concert.

Me: Wow...

Judge : ur 2nd song is a bad choice tho... it was too long... 5 minutes is it?

Me: 6 to be exact....

Judge: I can see that you had a difficult time to sustain the high note at the end...

Me: yeah..

Judge: God Bless you..

Me: Thx...

I did not hear a word what the 3rd judge was saying.. all I got was "dua-dua lagu" ... haha!

Well .. I didnt make it to the finals... but overall ... I had fun (making fun of the other contestants...) and I will surely keep this precious experience close to me mind and heart.....
