Wonderful memories...

It had been quite a long time since i last posted my blog..

It had been an eventful period of time.. Now everything had sort of come to e end.. at least a rest..
Now is e time to reflect n recharge in all aspects of my life..

23 Dec (yesterday)
It was e first time i joined trinity competition.. organised by lws music sch..
e finals was held last evening.. i didn't even feel it was a competition.. felt it was a performance..

All e finalists' songs r v nice.. wif so many rehearsal n stuff.. i even knows e melody by heart..
so backstage.. i was like humming e songs.. cos mine was e 2nd item..

My item was fine.. juz zuo en, my backup vocalists' mic suddenly low batt.. so in e end e backup vocal cannt be heard..
so 'ke xi'.. we practised so hard.. wif e backup voice, my song sound nicer..

I tink i screwed up e interview part.. wrong questions for me.. =p

Wat really surprised me was e results of e competition.. e lyrist for me song won e best lyrist award!!!
It actualli look simple.. but e judges like its simplicity.. so can understand e lyrics by listening to e song..

e entire process of preparing for e finals was a great learning experience for me.. it made me explore more
on arranging e song accompliment, plus backup voice etc.. learning to work wif diff ppl.. lyrist, vocalist..
great to win some audience for my song too.. a few of them like my song!!! =) i tink tt is e most rewarding thing
for a composer.. got to know a few more friends who r passionate abt music too.. e comments frm e judges made
me feel as if i have had a lesson learnt.. i'm already quite glad wen e judges mention abt my song during e comments..
cos i feel tt a good song will leave impression on e listener..

Wif all these inconspicuous gains, even if we did nt receive any rewards, we r a winner in our v own way!! e effort of
improving.. taking a step forward is wat makes us wat we r nw..

Looking forward, there's still a lot of aspects of music tt i can seek to improve.. like in arranging a music, style of music..
(gonna try more stuff other than sentimental ones), do more exploration in music, like catching chords of songs..

Yesterday, dad n i was discussing.. whether i wan to take up other course like music arrangement or singing.. hehe..
dad had agreed to let me go learn singing.. haha.. but i still find lws course v ex..

Jiayou to myself!!! =)
