A PieCe Of My MinD

hm… its been a while since i last updated my blog…stopped blogging cuz i was too busy after i got my spm results. anyways, didnt get straight As. i got 7A1s and 2A2s.. i didnt get an A for Bio! got a C5 instead. haha, damn!!! the gud thing is, i can still say i got 10As cuz i got an A1 for my GCEO-level hehe.. so technically, i got 10As. nehnehnehneheneh.

for those who dont know, i took part in this national reality tv singing competition hosted by 8TV recently. its called ‘One In A Million’.. and YES, i was interviewed and featured in the Sabah Times. so cool la get to appear on local newspaper and TV!! haha.. i noe i sound ’sakai’ bt who cares? its my blog wat. anyways…. my 1st audition for OIAM was crappy!! i screwed up and even cracked a shitty note! was WAYYYY TOOOOO nervous.. bt thankfully Paul and Syafinaz were kind enuf to gimme a 2nd chance. was put under KIV list and eventually had to compete wif other 3 guys.. damn…i was so nervous, my knees were trembling like hell!! haha.. anyways, in my 1st audition, i actually sang 4 songs including ‘Ive got the music in me’, ‘ God bless the child’,'In the still of the night’ and "I dont wanna be’… the judges said i was trying too much and they wanna see me enjoy the song and asked me to choose a simple song. so, i sang ‘If tomorrow never comes’ in my 2nd audition. i guess i did gud enuf to make it thru the 1st cut. hehe… when the results were announced, i was damn happy and even jumped around like a monkey on NATIONAL TV. haha.. so funny..

after the audition, i was training hard and getting ready for the nx round of eliminations… i reckon the work kinda paid off as i managed to get thru to the top 40 outa 84 contestants. my proudest accomplishment (besides my SPM, hehe)… hm… at the 1st round of elimination, we were given 4 songs to choose from. they were ‘bad day’,'lonely no more’,'mungkin nanti’ and ‘iris’…at 1st i chose ‘bad day’ bt figured out that i cud not make the best of it. so i changed my mind and chose ‘lonely no more’..hm.. practiced for 3 hours and went to bed at 1am. the nx day, was quite sleepy bt was quickly awaken when i found out i was put in the 1st group!!! and there was a recording artiste in my group! Jim of X-Factor.. talked to him b4 the audition and he’s quite frenly and nice.. anyways… faizal (the 1st guy) did an amazing job wif Bad Day. Reno did fairly well wif Mungkin Nanti. Wilson’s vocals were impressive with "Iris’.. Jim did quite well too with Mungkin Nanti.Rosyam busked his way thru Mungkin Nanti and frankly, it wasnt at all impressive and his ending was kinda funny.. i almost bursted out laffing. LOL.. rosyam if ur reading this, no offence k. and the rest of the group was forgetabble. the boy who forgot his lyrics had quite a nice voice.. pity him..he got scolded by Paul. anyway, i tink i did quite well with "Lonely No More"… i actually went down the stage and sang towards syafinaz!! i hav no idea wat i was tinking! hahaha.. the news in the website commented i changed the song almost into a ballad. yay!! …paul asked me whthr im matured n ready to face thru all sorts of things that come to my way in this bussiness. i checkmated him by asnwering ‘with ur guidance, im sure yes’. for the 1st time, he rily got nth to say haha.. anyways, after performing, the judges said our group was dissapointing. i had my lunch after det and went jalan2 at the Curve for a while. hehe…the results were announced about 6pm.. i was jumping like mad when i found out i made it to the top 40. was sooo happy. haha..

the nx day was the blind test.. i wasnt even aware at the fact that the judges wud nt be able to see us singing until that morning!!! we’re supposed to sing behind the stage and the judges wud only b able to see our shadows. kinda like ‘wayang kulit’. i was so angry at myself cuz i wasnt able to change my song choice. ive chosen to sing ‘walking in memphis’ cuz i tot i cud nailed it wif showmanship.. it wasnt exactly a gud choice of song in terms of vocals.. i shudve sang ‘cry’ by faith hill instead… damn… anyways, i delivered the song quite well, IMO, except that i went flat a bit at 1 note. fuhh…

the day after that is the style and personality test. dad brought me shopping for a cool jacket for the interview the day b4.. every1 sed the jacket was cool bt i guess the judges didn tink the same. aside frm paul and syafinaz, thr wer 2 extra judges who were zainal alam and ariana teoh (who the fish is she!!!?)… arina teoh sed she doesnt like my jacket (wtf!! it costed rm150 and she sed THAT!!?) she sed my earring makes me look girlish. WTF!!!? …bt she did say very positive things as well.. she sed she cud imagine my posters hanging on lil girls’ bedrooms’ walls. hahaha… paul and syafinaz sed they dont mind my jacket and my earing bt they sed i picked the wrong song for my voice. and they sed i actually did well with Lonely No More. oh well…. and paul said ther r potentials in my voice and looks. yay! hahaha..they asked me a bunch of questions and i nailed some of them and some i juz mumbled my way thru… i was so nervous and it showed!! sigh.. in a nutshell, i didnt really shine in both blind test and the style and personality test. but ther was still HOPE.

the results were announced at 2am. i actually threw up a few mins before entering the room. haha… i tink shameen saw me puked. lol… while waiting for the results, we were put in a room and we actually waited 4 hours!! i made lotsa frens in that 4 hours haha.. talked to farah and shes such a sweet n frenly person. :).. made frens with Yunalis and Lokman as wel.. ching too..

anyway, wen the results were announced. i was paired up wif anny (i tink thats her name).. paul said ‘anny, u hv impressive vocals. jason, we need more good looking singers like u. 1 of u will be staying and jason, its not u.’ i somehow knew paul is gonna say det.. so i wasnt really surprised bt i was damn dissapointed. cudnt sleep at all that nite.. was so close to reaching my dreams to become a singer. sigh… now i have to go back and go for Labuan Matriculation College! argh!!… i didnt noe whthr i cud handle college feeling so depressed..  anyways, talked to some of the contestants b4 going to KLIA the nx morning.. boarded the plane back to KK in the afternoon and i actually managed to go shopping 4 a while at sungai wang. lol.. bought a pair of very cool BUM equipment shoes. hehehe

in a nutshell, the whole ONE IN A MILLION competition experience was priceless. it really built up my self-confidence and i made lotsa passionated singer frens.-izwan, yunalis, farah, suki, cindy, faizal, aliff, azfar, shameen, fauzi (hes so frenly and warm!!!), jim, arwin, jorge, khairul, adimin, reno, lokman, abby etc..
