Welcome to my blur world.......................: YAMAHA ELECTONE CONCOURS & FESTIVAL 2007

29^th May was the Yamaha Electone Concours & Festival 2007 Northern Region semifinals. The event was held at Cititel Hotel, Penang. This yr I joined only the concours category – Open Age Section.It’s my 1^st time playing a 9mins long classical piece………haiz…..which I practiced for about 3months (immediately after my NS training). It’s the only category with 3 contestants. hehe….dun be surprised!...... coz a few yrs ago, this category have only 1-2 contestants…..haha…..lucky Han yin!

I woke up kinda late (at about 8.30am)……n I knew I wouldn’t arrive there on time for rehearsal that will start at 9.45 am…… I missed the balloting. My teacher (teacher Jasmin) balloted for me…n I got no.1……what a LUCKY number! Actually being the 1^st contestant to play wasn’t that bad after all as I don’t have to wait for my turn n I wont get to c the others playing their song(just in case their playing are way better than me n to make sure I don’t get nervous while waiting for my turn…..)

When it comes to my turn (during rehearsal ), I got too nervous n I screwed everything up…..my playing sucks! I’ve never play a song so TERUK b4 in my whole life…..OMG!.....My fingers were so stiff n kept on stumbling…..all the running notes parts were like SHIT!......As my song consists a lot of running notes, I dare to say my performance during the rehearsal was so YUCKY! Even a 5 yrs old can play better than me……haiz….After the rehearsal I disappear into the restroom…………n………..

After rehearsal I went up to the hotel room n take a rest to calm myself down……Unlike past few yrs, i take my own sweet time in the bath room as the others were still downstairs waiting for their turn to practice. hehe….i changed into my costume…..a golden color dress. It’s golden not yellow!...please Pei yi….golden n also Ee Xin, my dress is GOLDEN not green!.....

The only thing that accompanied me while waiting for the competition to start is this :

My MP4 player! I listened n listened to my song just to get the feel ….n to make sure my mind wont get blank when I’m on the stage……Thanks daddy! for the MP4 player!

When I was waiting for my turn I felt like the time past so slow…..more longer I sit in the ballroom, the more nervous I get!.....hehe…..but I found a way to warm my fingers n make sure it wont freeze…..haha….remember the toilet…..every toilet has a hand dryer…..haha…I was standing in there with my hands under the heater to keep my fingers warm……haha…..laugh laugh laugh……laugh la….i dun care ….

Pei yi, the toilet bowl behind there is very obvious!

Finally it’s my turn to play on the Stagea! WOW!SYOK!....my first playing the stagea for competition…..hahaha…..

I think I’ve tried my best during the competition…..not the rehearsal…..yup no regrets…..tho I wasn’t good enough compared to that 26-yrs-old-Hong Wei Sian…..Stupiak!

After I finish playing….hehe……..it’s photo session….hehe…
