my 2nd rehearsal

My song was the 7th song. i finally listen to all NTLP13 songs and many are well produced. Many new voices and old ones as fantastic ever... 

When it was my turn to sing, this time full band and more people aka audiences, my fingers gone numbs but i dun feel my heart beat speeding or my voice shaking. Just numbness. I was basically playing and fooling with bestie there just to reduce n prevent being nervous. I guess it helps gua. Most importantly, practices really makes perfection. Showmanship came naturally to me and i guess it's impressive enough. But as a singer myself, i knew my voice was not 100% projected out n well. The song was smooth but ended abruptly when Edmund stop too early-supposedly another verse only then stop...Pity my babe la...he was sick and i truly solute his determination.

I was expecting more comments but there aint much other than asking for better pronunciation and louder singing. The rest was good. How? Where? lolz... i so wanna noe cuz through this only i can make betterment. Shall wait for Andrew comment all the way from Australia ba... =)

Then i ask around from seniors to seek for some feedback and i'm seriously happie to meet Guo Hao back... damn, his hair is still so shiny and black... MR. Blackman livin up to his name peeps... So, i supposed if there aint much comment, it's consider good rite?

They like my band performance and i received many positive reviews. Which sound surreal to me. I will always feel as if they are being nice and not to hurt my feeling. But such thinking is a form of insult i will say cuz i hav just downgraded professional musicians. Somehow, i still do not have full confidence in myself as much as i projected in front of everyone else. The one you see most of the time is the fake confidence i have to keep my faith going.

I promise for the upcoming rehearsal, I will only keep getting better. This time i will find my inner strength and make sure Jcdagreat stands out. There shouldn't be any more doubt with myself. 

Improvement.... =)

u guys are the most lovely things ever occur to me in UKM other than my performance life

Mersing trip

The field trip will be much better if it's not on the CNY week and obviously more fun if we could choose our own group members. But, thru this randomness, i got to know my other course mates better... which is really good. i have no problem adapting myself to them at all and they helped build my BM skill back.

mornin time

Since, i have no chance to object, i choose to go at 9pm bus at night so that i can spend another day with my mom after weighting the consequences of missing the talk in the morning section. I'm glad to have many of the closest with me. The night journey was very new to me and sitting in the bus for 5 hours was seriously painful to begin with. The ride was bumpy, long and dangerously fast and we got lost in the jungle... we got to the Pahang boundary instead of Johor's and it dragged our time. We began to freak ourselves out with some imaginations and relating our condition to some horror movies... haha... it was seriously spooky. We reached that camp at 5am in the morning and we should get ready to work at 6am...which also mean no rest, no sleep. DAMN!!

da camp

The first  thing to do was to select camp... i found one that was empty and it has the best view among many others. i must thank the people for being so comfort minded for ignoring the camp which stored me, pumpkin, laymei and yin fong. For your information, the zip of the camp is broken and when stong wind blows, you can imagine what comes into our sleeping area la. Those that have just arrived were attracted to the beach and the waves that we ended up sitting next to each other, facing the open sea, chatting and singing songs instead of catching some shut eyes.

 da shells...

My heart was really not at work and i lost my focus and purpose in this field trip. I thought the camping area was a bit too uncomfortable for me to have total energy regenerated. i hated the geli-fying bathroom. I even bath with the water in the tub with a living fish in it.... which i only noticed it after i finish my cold bath... funny how i did not scream out loud.... lolz

 sun set time

i love the sun rise and sun set view tho i could not see the egg yolk at all due to stupid heavy clouds. At first during high tides, we saw murky sea water and there was pollution there... such sickening sight. I was like, hey, Port Dickson is way better than this... how wrong i was when i got down to the beach during low tides. The sands was so smooth, the shallowness of the sea level enable us to walk further into the sea area and i felt like walking on water... there were shells everywhere~ pretty~ and i made sure to get some back of the dead ones... lolz... i was given a whole bucket of surviving shells as bday present when i was in U65...

The gals... gosh... i love u all... it has been long since we last ate together that often and we have so much fun reminiscing our old memories during our childhood. Syndy was real hyperactive... the Narimah jokes was damn funny n is currently our hot topic She even formed the ZERO PONG group. One real MISS of biology. I enjoy being the silence one currently cuz i realized i enjoy listening to their sharing... their laughter and smiley faces were infectious and that reminded me how much they means to me.

breath taking

Rating : field work 6/10
           : the beach 8/10
           : course mates 10/10 =) BIAS. yes i am...chui meh

Waking up with direct view to the unseen sun rise was very satisfying... how i wish i could see the egg yolk tho... and bein' surrounded with the music of sea waves with breezy cold air bathing u all over during the night... gosh, such perfecto simplicity of life. By then, u might realize that you don't really need fame n fortune... will being ambitious and determination in chasing dreams bring you more satisfaction than that? i guess i need that much of struggles and hectic lifestyle to fully enjoy such heavenly break. Really wish to see more beautiful beaches soon... i hope my reluctance would not hold me back then.

it's my blog after all...haha =)

i heart you

 

lourve you guys

  

 U65 spirits shall always stay alive

 

1st field trip-Hulu Langat

Hulu Langat 

Nur Lembah Pangsun...

HUH? 

WHERE?

There were my 1st few questions... Wait!!!

Got LINTAH boh?

Well, that morning was very tiring as i have to wake up very early... he said the bus will stat leaving at 

8 am SHARP!!! yea.... at the end, we start our journey at 9am sumthg.... sigh

 

Once we reach, we were told to have lunch before going to the dorm... resort kononyer... is a Dorm with its toilet lousier than PLKN's... gosh.... i was like how to bath if u have no shower room and no pail at all available.... 5 cubicles with around 40 girls... adoi...

We moved to the stream.... i was very eager to go down the water...seriously, i was so urban or i should say so kampung gal, i never pay a visit to any sungai or any taman rekreasi like this... once i step my feet on the water... OMG!!! 

Cold water... very refreshing on heat-ty day... it feels so good with water dashing across your feet...unlike waves in da beach... 

Such breath taking sight... pls, homosapiens, dun destroy mother nature

I try so hard to get the sample but to no avail...aisey, no experience langsung... so we use the agressive and bias way to collect the sample.... although at first i still feel very much reluctant to go deep with the rocks n trees sides knowing that i might found yucky slimy stuff, i gave in seeing all of them having fun...

i found some larvae... prawns, crabs and fish!!! FISH!! imagine how i react when i found the fish n crab with the sieve bucket... i was like GIVE ME THE TRAY>>>HURRY>>>IT"S JUMPING.... haha... stupid 

and that stu fish ate all my larvae..or else, we would not be the group of outlier....ish n it ran away before we finalize our sampling.... stu fish.

i caught 2-3 if not mistaken....Syndy was obsess in it

We enjoy our childhood moments when we found the uncle selling con ice-cream there... he was damn generous leh... 3 hole cone 4 scope ice-cream n peanuts and choco splash.... bahagia man...

photo from jayne~ wee...i had 3 cones in 2 day.... fattening... n i dun care

this was taken when we do our identification and categorization in a dewan with the air-cone freeze us to death on 30 degree Celsius...must be sumthg wrong with skala

I can't believe we took a year and a half long time to be that close with our coursemates....to my malay friends, u guys are really nice to hang around with... seriously  funny how we only be able to get in touch during this field trip... we simply need opportunity... 

Dr. Ahmad is damn good.... very knowledgeable man... wat most wonderful about him is that we dun need to send in report!!! yay!!! but we wasted alot of saliva to questions him all sort of stuff before he is convinced... rite~

Jayne2, allow me to post yea.... 

the normal

the pretty

the ugly.... look at meeteng~ wahahaha~ i love u guys

The night we spent together was alot of fun... we had the girls talk... we shared stories, same bed, same room... and knowing u guys support me so much in my performance makes me so grateful... you can never imagine how much it means to me....n i like my almost-sleep relationship chat with MT... it feels like those old times we spent together...

i learn alot and i seriously felt in love with this subject..if i drop entomology, it's ecology im heading toward in... never genetic.... pls, if i ever need to do thesis under NARIMAH, i will consider quitting uni or tangguh sem... out of sudden hatred grow within me...haha....

 

i hope my second field trip will be as much fun... it's due 19th of feb at Mersing...wohoo~~

my 1st rehearsal

Well. i will make sure i post something about my progress in NTLP 13. Today pre-show rehearsal was my 1st and i already made up my mind that i will be slammed gao gao by committee members. But i try to comfort myself that i shouldnt be nervous as they are my fwens and supporters... after all, they are the one that will performe along with me and go thru this dream with me....

So, as i waited for my song to be called up, i end up wondering where was my guitarist... he is the main instrumentalist cum the arranger... so many of us Q him. I especially, cause i got used to his playing and he set my key~ as we waited, my song postponed to the last and he yet to appear... he was at work and due some mishaps, he couldn't make it... i asked my other band mates if we should proceed as it was a confirm that we will be a mess.

I was put into a dilemma situation. I purposely came back early for my rehearsal as i wouldn't be able to make it next rehearsal due fieldwork on Saturday. Then, Andrew was here... the NTLP so called GOD... i always wanna meet him face to face after being facebook fwens for so long and i want him to judge me. I was seriously starstruck... yea~ sweat all u wanna... So, as i trusted his judgment, i really wanted to hear from him about my singing...

I wasn't really nervous but i was not at all comfortable missing an important band mate... since there have been few days not having practice, i  begin to worry if i would even get the key right. And i was right! My presentation was a disaster. I got the wrong key, i stopped the band once, before proceeding on the 2nd, i couldn't get my melody right with bass being master guider... but i proceed despite it. There was when my friends came reaching out for me... ah fai and siewin were there guiding me and sang out the correct key for me... i got back the right tract just after... but since i got affected earlier, the whole thing was consider damanged. I was seriously thankful for them saving me from further disaster.

So, the end note in the song was like a needle being pulled out from the buttock... a sign of relieve. I knew i'm a dead meat and i was ready for all sorta complaints.... but these critics are gonna help me develop... basically, i was really looking forward to~ at least they care...

So, i was told that i must be careful with my falsetto and i cannot make the mistake by calling the band to stop playing to repeat... big big mistake. Pronunciation was another one... i can't believe pronunciation was a problem for english speaker like me... no wonder there are always people saying they do not understand whatever i was saying...lolz. But they did not fix me u c... so, i was told to open my mouth bigger when sing, emphasize the wordings and catch breathing point...

Singing wise, Andrew said i was alright... his remark comforts me so much... i was seeking for more advise after hearing comments from all. i figured out that whenever i'm away from mike, everything are perfect. I think the song tempo was too fast for me and perhaps, i'm not comfortable with the speed. I am still lack of confidence and the inexperience me couldn't deal with sudden changes. I'm lack off so much of skills...

With them, i feel very much humble and lacking in all sorts... from this zero level, i will pick up soon... i promise~~ for all my friends, u guys are empowering and thanks for all the guidance.

I like most Siewin song... soo yong... u really good la... i din noe it was your song untill someone mention it... well done... too bad la...my LYAML tak masuk pun...=(

Almost all newtune instrumentalists are multi talented...haha...from drum set, they jump from base then to piano and more... n i din noe Ah Fai know drums de leh...  u guys are sexy u noe... talented peoples oozes charms...

Andrew looks more like 'human' in real person than in profile photo... haha... very nice man... shall hear more from you tho u r far at Australia...sigh.
