Honestly, I've never gotten any "A" before since the day I stepped into Poly. (Yes, that includes the period when I was still in design course.) Its considered a small breakthrough for me! Thank God! :)

Anyway, I attended the KSS 2010 audition yesterday... AND GOSH, I was soooo nervous! The good thing about it is that all of the contestants were to sing in acapella format (without any background music or vocals). I've always loved acapellas as there's no need to worry about wrong timings, keys and etc.

And guess what? Its the first time I chose an english song! (And its Michael Jackson's song somemore. I must be out of my mind, but who cares! LOL) There were many things to worry about for a first time though. =\

The thing I've always hated about auditions is the tense atmosphere upon entrance into the room. The waiting time to go INTO that room is even worse than that. Imagine walking in and facing several unfamiliar-faced judges as they fix their eyes on you, waiting for you to begin your introduction and such. (And if one is unlucky, he/she may come across stern-looking judge(s), which adds on more stress than you already have. Unfortunately, that is one thing I have to overcome, and I will always try my best to (despite my stage fright. )

Fortunately though, the judges from the KSS audition yesterday were quite friendly, and I made my introduction quickly.

And guess what happened next?

My pitching went off instantly when I started opening my mouth to sing. =_=" And it was only the FIRST WORD! (Come on, the nervousness is really beyond imagination.) Embarrassed, I apologized and requested to start again.

Fortunately, I did not screw up on the second attempt. (Well, almost screwed up at some parts, but I unscrewed it. LOL) I tried to focus on my singing and managed to "survive" through it... But deep down, I was feeling VERY disappointed because I knew I could've done better than that. (Its true that your voice will go auto-pilot during audition time. It felt as though my voice wasn't attached to my body at all. The pitch will go haywire by itself, and its damn irritating! Grr...)

When it was time for me to be graded by the 3 judges, I was relieved that they gave me a passing grade (woo!) despite my nervousness and all that. I am contented though, regardless of whether I'll get in to the next round or not. At least, I know I've tried and there'll be no regrets.

In fact, I will still continue to work hard on overcoming my nervousness and stage fright. (Yeah, some people just don't believe I have stage fright. The truth is, I do have, but its selective stage fright. I've realized I only have stage fright for singing. Weird huh?)

(I was holding this M&M lip gloss, given by Pitrra from Canada. It really smells like CHOCOLATE! I wonder if I'll eat it up when I use it someday. Haha. Thank you for the lovely gifts, Pit! I love them all!)

Okay, byeee... =p
