Random thought of the dae: Singing competitions.
For as long as i could remember, i've been dreaming of taking part in one. I juz wanna give it a try. I knoe my vocals r far from being perfect, in fact, they r juz passable... But somehow deep down inside, i juz wish that one dae, i can stand on the stage and sing to an audience... I juz wanna experience that feeling. However, when someone tells me that hey, i can go join Talentime, i'll juz treat it as a nice compliment and that's it. Coz there'll be this tiny voice that says...
How can u compete wif those real talents out there?
The closest i've gotten to participating in a singing competition was when i was pri 5. I was in love wif this song 'Tie3 Chuang1' (Steel window) from this 'Nv2 Zi3 Jian1 Yu4' ('Women's Prison', a drama serial), and i tot i wld try for Talentime wif this song... But i din get to go up to stage eventually.
I din knoe i had to hand in a tape of the song i wanna sing...
So my 1st and onli chance of taking to the stage was foiled. I did stay to see part of the audition though, and when they called out my name, i fled. Since then, i've neva had the courage to take part in any more of those talentime competitions...
In sec sch, i din dare to enter talentime coz i can't imagine malu-ing myself in front of hundreds of ppl... In JC, talentime was such a big-scale event, u had to queue up for tickets to attend the event... Imagine the tons of talent in there... Enuff said.
But juz give it a try?
Hmmm i juz dun have the courage i guez... I knoe i'm not as good as the others, so although i wish to take part, i juz dun dare to (tok about cognitive dissonance here). Wat if i can't even make it through the auditions (which is highly possible)? Perhaps, one dae, i might muster up enuff courage, set my 'face' aside, and juz go for it... Let's wait and see... ;P
