A chapter in my life.

Just a month ago, I have made up my mind to give it a try.
It's gona be a waste to let it go like that, I am given this opportunity to learn something different in my life, why not?
This has been something that I have really wanted to try in my life, at least once.
So there I went... Never know how will it go, don't even mention how tv show works.

So our schedule is basically, wake up in the morning, go on Samson's or Billy's car to the bus persiaran, sit in the comfortable seats for around one hour, or a lil less than that.
Then we will reach Jaya One, have lunch, den Halo Forest, attend vocal/ dance class, practise our songs for competition, dinner there/ pack some food back/ Samantha (assistant producer) would pack some food for us, den back home. After getting back home, we will be given something else to do, no free time, most of the time Samson will ask us to get files from him, or edit lyrics, or write 'han yu pin yin' for the lyrics, or do assignments like writing journals etc. Or Angie (producer) will come and sometimes talk to us or spot check. Din't really have extra time to practice the songs.


This is what we do in the bus, I mean, one of the things we did.
Listening to song while resting our tired eyes. Perhaps when we were more energetic, we laughed out loud and get scolded by Real or gets complained by Vans. As if they are never noisy.Sorry if i sounded rude, but it's true. I can see most of us nodding our heads to agree on this.
The 'lobby'. We can actually online here. But I never did cos ther wasn't really a lot of time spaced for that. Plus, we need to go to this place by car, unless we wana walk for around ten to fifteen minutes.
This is our living room. Chuchu, Pinky, Min, Vivian (later on Elva), Lizzie and I stay here.
That's one of the venue for our general meeting, almost every night. Sometimes it's not too good to give out statement in the meeting ya know, you will be dragged to hell. HAHA


This is my roommate, Chuchu. She's my closest friend in the competition. Of course there are other patpos like Pinky, Jieyu and Min who are the only two left in Top ten. We are the gossip girls and we really had fun spending time together for this whole month.


Halo Forest
Vocal/ Dance class in the music school, Halo Forest is their responsibility.
From left to the right: Tcher Alan, Tcher Chila, Xiao Dong (dance instructor), he's gona release album soon.


Something cute to share, this is how we practiced 'wave', stick our body to the mirror and do it. HAHA

Vocal class with Tcher Alan.
Our hair stylists.
Mini concert at Sg Wang.


After everything is done, make up/ hair (caterpillar hair)
The camera I'm holding belongs to Astro, how I hope it's mine. I LOVE IT! It's RM1300. Damn, I din't even know, luckily it's still in a good condition after following me for one month.
This is our beloved host, Jojo. Such a nice person.
Was quite surprised to know that she's graduated from Taylors/ UniSA under Masscomm degree too.

Our mini stage for mini concert. Not trying to complain, just to make sure it rhymes.

OMG! told you one of my greatest achievements is to realize I have these great friends supporting me all along! MUACKS
THANKS!


STUDIO RECORDING

Felt extremely great to stand on this stage. Have been watching on TV only, never thought I'd ve this chance to stand and sing and SIASOY myself on tv. AWWW...
The stage this year's pretty well -designed, in my opinion cos I personally love it to bits when I first saw it, especially the globe. it rotates , and ther's some weird noises when it rotates, I was guessing the 'roda' is not smooth enuf.
Most of us, not all. before going in the studio.
Cheryn, Ryan, Kah Fai n I

After First Round Competition. SIASOY AH. Please don't watch and laugh your ass off. Trust me, I did something weird during competition. Don't bother about it please.
Second round, before comp started. This is Real.

Overall, I am pretty satisfied with my performances in the competition. I know despite my nervousness, I still tried my very best to withstand it and performed my best. Especially when I thought of those friends who are there to support me, I know I just had to sing my lungs out, at least I won't feel sorry for myself and to them.

First round: I did something stupid, a stupid pose cos I was unsure if I should do it. Please understand me, pretty embarrassing though.

Second round: Performance during rehearsal was kinda satisfying, but during competition, although most of them told me I did really great, but I know that wasn't my best, I explained after performance and most of the audience laughed. Guess what's it. I ALWAYS do DIULIAN stuffs. HAIZ

Third round: I think this is my best performance in all the rounds. BUT, the marks given is =_=" Wasn't expecting that though. I tried really hard to include everything taught into the song. My vocal tcher was there, he said I did really well that day, I did remember the things he taught, but the comment given was hmmm.... nvm. Btw, I'm being eliminated after this performance which I was most satisfied with. WOOOSH. Cos in terms of 'feelings', I was quite sure that I can do better for this song. However, the judges didn't agree to it. If not mistaken, I thought the comment would be better cos I saw BaoXiaoSong clapping hands after I sang. This is enough for me already. =)

PK Round: 8 were selected for Top10, two more are to be chosen. Judges are to vote for us.
I finally performed 'sha po lang' on this stage, and got full votes! Okay, but don't be too happy for me, the requirement for this round is strictly not only on singing skills, it's on what kinda singer the current market needs. So it's kinda overall.
Amongst eleven contestants, I am one of the four who got full votes, so we went to PK round to get two chosen for Top 10 and yeah, two guys got in and it makes 7 guys and 3 girls in the Top Ten list. Elva and I were the two left.
11 of us.

I performed 'What's up' for PK's PK round. I am glad I finally sang one of my fav songs on stage.
It was just one step near to it, but I know I kinda expected it wouldn't be me. If it was me, I know it wouldn't be long too. You know why.
Last day in ASQ'09
I still remember what wanyen 'mumbled' to me HAHA

P.S I would prefer you guys to watch this PK round, it'd be shown in the fifth week, don't ask me why, just watch, and tell me what you think. THANKS PEOPLE. =)

Okay, enough of comforting myself, I should be aware that one of the reasons I wasn't able to make it further is: I AM NOT GOOD ENOUGH YET.
If you ask me, will I try joining again after this year? Currently, my answer is a sure NO.
Various reasons included. yup.

AFTER COMPETITION
KFC!!!!!
No spicy food, no fried food, no rice...

After Round three, actually after PK round, I have been eating a lot until today. Let me die. I don wana gain weight anymore.
Oh yeah, fyi, I lose 4kg during the camp, but now I gues I have gained 2kg back. DAMN.

But I think I can lose it back again,
my way to lose weight is just : ban rice, eat very little for dinner, dat's it.
I hope I can use the same way to lose more kgs lah.

Okay, maybe not. Too much temptations=(
This girl very sampat, have been meeting her three times since we were out of camp.
Cos she's very kehpoh n honestly, really nice to pass by my place and fetch and drop me everytime.
Thanks a lot 38.


Last group photo before we leave the resort. =( I miss life there with so many people.
Now, me is looking forward to our next gathering. 16th June, last activity with AStro, ASQ Top 20 Roadshow in Johor. I wana sing 'Bleeding Love', don care if I sing badly, nobody cares.

WOOSH.

PPPPPPS: THANKS ALL OF YOU WHO CAME OR MAYBE U DIN COME BUT WAS GIVING ME FULL SUPPORT!!!!! I REALLY APPRECIATE IT!
I AM SO PROUD TO HAVE YOU ALL WITH ME!!!!!
LOVE YOU ALL!
You all have sacrificed ur throats to support me, i can c how hard you all tried to show support!
Thankssss!!!!!!!
I AM SORRY IF I DISAPPOINTED ANY OF YOU, I HAVE ALREADY COMPLETELY ENTIRELY PERFORMED MY VERY BEST. THAT'S WHAT I AM VERY SURE OF.
