Major Updates
Alright. It's been a few days since I've last blogged, and many many things have happened.
Firstly, it was Arts Bash cum Pageant. I was so nervous the night before it that I couldn't sleep well at all. Uncertain of how the flow of programs would be and stuff, all I could do was force my eyes close and try to rest as much as possible. I was expecting Nigel to win it, so there wasn't much hopeful thought in me. The pageant came and went, and unexpectedly, I won! Goodness. I really didn't know what was happening. It felt so unreal. Well, after that, I didn't feel special or excited or happy at all. No feelings at all. It's not as if I would start to sprout wings or have super powers or anything. How cool it would be if I had after being crowned Arts King. Haha.. Ok.. My boyish fantasies are running wild.. =p
Next up, Hey Gorgeous. This was bad. Seriously. I nearly wanted to give it up totally. Was rather disheartened when my bro didn't want to go on tv with me that I really had no mood at all. But, I totally understand. He's the kind that likes to support behind the scenes. And I really really really appreciate what he's done in the background, and never claiming credit. Bro, thank you so much! =) He asked me to give Carol a call, and so I did. Thank God for her. She's like the best. Helped me to find Shu Ning and Bennett and Adeline to go on tv with me. Gosh.. What would I do without her. Haha. And thanks to Shu Ning as well! HAHA!!! She really sacrificed alot alot man. I wonder what people would say after they see the program on tv and the scene she was in. Haha! =p
Well, preparations for the Hey Gorgeous was really really bad. I was nervous, and scared and totally stressed out. The butterflies in my stomach were doing rapid laps round and round so much that I felt like vomiting even at home when I thought about performing in front of a live audience and being voted upon. The biggest discouragement however came from the fact that I'll be facing off with last year's Arts King, Kenneth! He's like how cool and suave and popular man!!! Even I vote for him! =p
So the event came, and I went up and played the guitar and sang the new song which I wrote. I was trembling and I had to focus real hard to control my fingers or else I'll be totally losing it man. Thank God I managed to finish the song without any hiccups. Phew!
In the end, unexpectedly AGAIN, I won! Oh my goodness.. I really was stunned this time round. I thought Kenneth was the sure winner that in my mind, all I wanted to do was to take this opportunity to sing the song which I wrote (for her) to the public (and hope she hears it). Gosh.. What a weird streak..
What comes next? I do not know..
Just as one does not know what tomorrow will bring.
All I can do is to trust in His plans.
Wherever He may bring me,
There I will go..
