Episode: SD BE Talentime
Friday, October 31, 2008

The highlight for the day was the SD BE Talentime. But the day goes as per normal. I had my classes early in the morning. Got to school with my gal. After my class, I went home with my gal. Then I went for prayers. After prayers, I got my CCA. So, I got back to school with my gal, as she will be having classes in the afternoon. On the way there, she gave me a hug. That was sweet of her. I really needed that. I had my CCA from 3 until around 4.30pm. Then I asked for permission to go off. I went to change and reached the Moberly at 5pm.

When I came, the crowd was not there yet.

After awhile they came. My classmates arrived in black. Today was Halloween, so the class decided to wear black. It was very cool. Anyways, I approached them. They had something in their hands. When I looked at it, it was this.

They did a poster of me. It was really making my face turn red. But, it was really sweet and thoughtful of them.

The contestants had to sit one side.

While the Judges, the other.

They were the judges. Two of them are from Tiet studios and one from SP, I guess she was the winner of last year's SP star.

The performances started with the soloist. I was the second to perform. I sang, Heaven(my gal's pick) and How to save a life by The Fray. I was nervous. I did enjoyed the time on stage. I gave what I could at that moment.


After I sang, my lecturer(yup, he was there too) shouted, "We love you!" The judges commented that I had that stage presence as well as the X-factor, BUT, my pitching was here and there at times. The rest of the contestants were alright. There were suppose to be six contestants, but Ayu only got to know that she was selected only today. She did not even prepare anything, so she had no choice but to back-out. I find the first singer was alright,Brenda gave a good performance, Syafiq spoil the song he sang and the last one was this Malay girl named Zara, when she sings, the judges were grooving with her. Her voice was great!

I came to the band performances next. The first band gave a good performance, we all enjoyed it, it was easy to the ears and soulful. The rest of the band were hardcore, especially the last one. It was more like screaming. Glenn was making jokes out of the song. He said it sounded like somebody screaming hardcore,"cheeseburger regular FRIES!!!" Haha. Maybe we should compose a song like that. It would be comical.

Oh ya. Speaking of bands, Shah and his band performed. I liked his first and last song, it was nice. But his second song, his vocals were not there. But, in the end, his band got second placing, receiving 6 hours of free jamming time at Tiet studios.


Actually, the soloist's results were out first. There were five of us. They gave prizes only to the top three contestants. Two had to be eliminated. Syafiq and Brenda were eliminated. I got third placing, while the first soloist to sing got second and Zara was the winner. I got this $50 Popular bookstore voucher as a prize.

After everything, my classmates that were left were Yikai, Glenn, Lee Peng and Carolyn. Thanks guys for supporting me all the way. You guys are the best! Oh, they made this for me. In the end, I took it home. It was really sweet of them. Well, I guess it was Ivan who made it for me, as it states there on the bottom left,"Ivan made this". It was made out of junk. The cow figures was spoilt long ago, and the rest was made out of Alluminium foil and cardboard. It is junk, but these junk was put together with care. So, it meant a lot to me that you guys took the effort to do it. Now, it is being kept in my room. Just come to my room, and it is there. Thanks guys!


Then I went home. Taking the MRT with the huge poster in my hand. It was embarrassing, but I did not mind. Got home, told my parents the whole story about the talent time. Well, today was great! I really enjoyed myself. My classmates were awesome! My lecturer is awesome! I will remember this day always.
