The Singapore Idol 3 Journey Begins!
Aahh, as you read the title of today's post. Its quite obvious right? Haha, don't wanna keep u guys anticipating. From 4000plus people.. to 100.. so scary..
Woke up very early today again.. 6am.. I'm so used to sleeping late and waking up late, and yet everyday for the past 1 week is early day for me.. But every early day i had was amazing, so i can't whine much. =D Going to church conference and this..
Met up with Sebas, bought some light breakfast from City Hall Sublink Breadtalk and headed down to the Floating Platform which is beside Marina Square.. Was slightly early, and was told by the crews to come back later..
Went to Marina Square to chill and make full use of their aircon.. Weather nowadays is so impossible to endure.. Wonder how those new NS recruits are going to endure this heat. Haha.
Anyway, we went back to the place for audition. Had to queue quite a couple of times.. Maybe its been too long since i last blog.. Haha, didn't really remember to take some shots.. Finally, they led me and a few contestants up to another level, i thought there was still a chance to unload my bladder b4 the audition.. Turns out, there isn't any.. And i was the next few.. Couldn't go down and use the toilet again.. Sad...
So as i was waiting as the next in line, Hady Mirza came up and chatted me up.. I didn't say much.. Just that my bladder is too full. Haha. Gosh! He ask me to TAHAN!!
It was really hard to sing with a full bladder.. If you sing too hard, u might just leak a little.. HAHAHA, ok, im just
JOKING!! Of course my pipe won't leak..
When it was my turn, i stood infront of the judges. Kinda weird.. First time seeing them in real life for the first time. Ken Lim, Dick Lee, Florence Lian.. Just like the first time i saw those 星光 judges..
Dick Lee asked me, so you are more into singing chinese songs, then Ken Lim asked me why the switch.. Wah, didn't even think of this question b4.. Haha. Obviously for the competition.. And he threw another question, can't really remember what.. Something to do with singing english songs again..
So i started singing when i was told to.. Sang ok.. Not bad, but definitely not impressive at all.. Lucky half way through, i saw Dick Lee nodding his head, thats one vote. At the end of my singing, he said he likes my high pitch.. Haha. So i just need another nod of the head.. Florence Lian seems to be convinced. They asked me to sing a chinese song, dono for what reason. I sang.. Didn't impress Ken at all. Haha. I just suck at singing without a mic.. Dick likes my hoarse voice, Flo says it sounds more rock, nice touch. I was like, wah.. Not having enough sleep and i get to give u the rock feel.. Not bad.. Haha, they ask me to remain hoarse then.. Lol.
I thank them, went out the room with Gurmit waiting outside, with Sebas. I walked out empty handed.. They were saying aww.. Then i slipped my hand behind my back, pulled out my
Congratulation Slip from my jacket and surprised them. HahAAHa.. Nice one to myself!
OK, we did a short interview, and i was led to somewhere again, did a few more short interviews. I think i suck at them, too tired to reply lively. Haha. So hopefully they don't show any of it on tv.. Then again, was led to the floating platform stand. Where the hot sun is shining ever so brightly.. Wah.. Heat stroke.. Wearing my jacket, i had to sit there pose to camera and sing "Home" the national song made famous by Kit Chan.. It was a torture and glad it was done..
Sebas
Me with the Congratulation slip.. Yeah, i cut my hair the day b4.. So short.. Now, i have to prepare myself another few english songs.. Guess im going the slightly rock route.. Haha, any rock songs to recommend?!
12th of July to 18th of July will be
BOOT CAMP And Theatre Audition! at the Orchid Country Club..
And we have to bring swimsuits too.. I don't really feel like flaunting my body lor.. Lol.. 7 days of bootcamp.. Wonder what it will be like..
Adios and God Bless! Praise the Lord!
