Today was supposed to be my BIG DAY, the day i embark on my little journey into the world of music artistes and pop-composing, and TODAY, TODAY i made my worst performance ever, in my life...
Some months back while I was croaking away with a friend of mine in some KTV pub in Orchard, I was ambushed by this lady who claims to be from some Tong Ni Ji Gou Company, and pestered (and everybody else singing in the hall), till I relented and signed up for this audition.
I was pondering over the possibilities of entering the music industry since my recent return from some ulu town in China, where i managed to find enough inspiration to compose a few songs of my own. So when this opportunity hit me, though the exterior was trying to be humble and diplomatic, the truth was seeing my heart clapping gleefully at a chance to prove my vocal's worth, in which I always had considerable faith.
As my preference lied with Canto Songs, and the audition stated I could only sing Mandarin Songs. I desperately tried to select a few songs for practice from the only Jacky Cheung VCD I could find at home. Hoever, upon reporting for the audition proper, I found to my pleasant surprise Canto Songs were accepted too... and so I happily picked a song, a song that would eventually dig myself a grave on stage...
The practice sessions prior to the actual performance was all fine, but as I entered the "interview/audition" room, I realised to my horror that the setup was such that I COULD NOT READ FROM THE SCREEN!!! And I chose a song I have not sung for months...
Following a short self introduction (I felt like I was chanting prayers to send myself to the nether world), I tried my best to give a rendition of the song with 1/4 of the lyrics wrong!
I then proceeded to bury myself...
