I went for the 'Xin Guang Bang 3' auditions in Singapore although i was still recovering from my lost of voice, i was thinking, i am not going to miss the chance, no matter what even though i may not be at my 100 percent. Because i always remember that chances never come your way, so when there is 1... grab it!

I must say there was a lot of people and i was just thinking to myself that the competiton was going to be tough seeing that many familiar faces were there for a try too, Teresa, Zhi Yang, Khim, Evonne, the twin sisters Sheena and Shermaine Goh from Campus Superstar, Jeremy Kwan, Anson, , Kenny, Wen Hai, Veronica, Avril, Dawn Wong, Ling Yi from Project Superstar 2, Sugi, Sandra and myself representing Project Superstar 1

After a brief introduction i got 30 seconds to show case, i informed the audience of my bad throat and to forgive of any bad sounding, i started singing Sha Tan and after 2 lines ... "DING!!!" i thought it sucked and don't think i was able to get in ... but to my surprise i did =)

The next day i was back again under the hot sun, hopeing for a shot at going to Taiwan, Kelly was there to have a look herself =) still looking as pretty and really glad she is carving her way

I sang Pu Tong Peng You as my voice is still on the way of recovering... and also did the Gai Shi Ying Xiong Rap, after that i was greeted by tourist encouraging me to carry on rapping, it's really cool and i thank them from the bottom of my heart.I didn't get in to the top 7 but was eligible for the PK in july this year =)...

Of course it was depressing to be out of the competition, there were mixed feelings and emotions, my dad and brother was really disappointed but my dad's high expectation was really boring a hole in me, he was so encouraging before the competition calling me an saying "Ah boy ah how is the competition? bring he good news back ah? =)" but when i told him that i didn't get in he said "You still dare to say? you must have sung badly" Well what do i do? i try to put up a strong front but of course every singer will feel sad because of a lost. I guess i am only glad that i am able to take the experience and feel the outcome so that i can improve in the future. and thanks for my friends for going there standing under the sun and shouting, taking my board and cheering for me if i ever were to be a champion in anything, you all should be the ones i thank. Even when at times i feel like giving up myself... you all are still holding hopes... Thank You ALL

Also wanna thank her for coming to support me =) , this shot over here is taken at the imfamous Punggol Matilda House !!! with huge Bees, well it didn't really feel like a haunted house but it was pretty dark at some corners .... 0.0
