IDOL Fever
My school had just recently held an event entitled ‘ICT IDOL’. The format of it is just like the Singapore Idol we saw on TV, where people went for audition and then hoping for a chance to perform on stage.The reception wasn’t that hot, which only 18 people went for the audition out of the thousands of students we had in our school. 2 of my classmates went and one of them managed to get in. A pity she didn’t win, wasting the fee of my 2 sms(wahaahah).
And as usual of this type of competitions, there are bound to be 1 or 2 jokers who can’t sing, can’t dance or maybe look like crap. I will not mention names here. No, not because I am being considerate or I am afraid I might offend someone. The fact is…I don’t even know their names. Not worth storing their names in my limited bytes in my brain memory space.
Of course there were a couple of good ones, who certainly with proper grooming, might just stand a chance to be the next Stefanie Sun of Singapore. But out of thousands of students we have in the school of ICT, I definitely believe there are more talents in there.
I am very sure when people see the posters or emails, they will go, “Yucks, ICT clown huh? Who will be so bo liao to join?” But I know deep inside, everyone is imagining themselves performing on stage and winning the competition. The details could go as far as imagining what songs to sing or even what costumes to wear. Wahaha..talk like that but think another way. Who don’t want to be the centre of attention and being the performer where everyone looks upon you?
Despite a couple of flops, deep inside me I know they have something better than me and that is courage. You ask me to join things like this and ask me to perform live in front of everyone, I swear I will wet my pants. Or even behave in a cranky way, where you are at a loss and you start to talk something you don’t even know what you are talking. You guys are damn brave and I salute you. Some people despite with no talents, but yet are able to make up for it with effort and courage, well, at least you dare to take the first step and try. Even if you failed, at least you are able to hold your head high and declared, “I tried, dare you?”
And to Xinhui on a personal note, its ok. I think you were just unlucky. At least you dare to dream. Continue to work hard and who knows someday, you could just make it. Jiayou Bah!
Treasure today because comes tomorrow, today could just be one of your best memories.

That's true. At least those people had enough courage to chase their dreams.
But really, if you know you cannot make it.. and I mean really cannot make it, don't embarrass yourself on stage.
*LOL* Do I really cannot MAKE it? :P
Anyway, do you want to know why I joined at first. I don't wish for anything. And...I'm serious. I just wanna overcome my stage fright. I have stage fright and whenever I start to sing in front of so many people (esp. on stage), I'll tend to tremble. So, that day, I told myself...I have to take the first step to overcome it. Else, I won't be able to get out of my fright circle.
I don't care if I win the thing or not, because that's not important. The most important thing is what I've learnt throughout the whole thing.
I've learnt that, I have a bunch of good friends who were there to support me. I've learnt that losing and winning is just a line of difference and it's not really a big thing if I lose or win. If I win, it doesn't mean that I'm the best; If I lose, it just means that I have to try harder. =)
Seriously, all in all, I must say thank you to you people in regardless whether you've gone there to support me or not. Friends who had read the email even sms-ed me to wish me luck.
That's happiness.
And I feel that, that's winning.
Because I have a bunch of good friends. ^^
