God is Good!!
Over the past 6 weeks, though I haven been blogging, I'm really blessed in my life. Ups and downs throughout this period, yet God is faithful and good.
Besides having a new fridge at home, Dad bought me a new digi-cam. Not the model I wanted, but it's good enough. Last Thursday, after Emerge, my parents went to expo to pick me up and they showed me the new hp they bought. They bought 3 new hps. 2 nokia 6280 and 1 samsung 660. 3 hps for $84. Woho.. Great deal isn't it? I've got the nokia 6280. It's a 3G phone. Mom changed my phone plan and now I've got free incoming calls all day. Oh.. God is good.
Dad went to India 2 weeks ago and bought me a CK eternity moment perfume and a Gameboy from Dutyfree.
Grace bought me a new hot pink bag as a makeup birthday present cos the lamp exploded. Pink pink..
Though busy, I managed to spend time with Suet and Grace. Went for lunch with Suet then another day again with her and Grace. Memories of our JC days just keep flashing in me. Really missed those days when we went shopping after school. I really love to sit and eat and talk with people I love. This is good life. I thank God for giving me friends like them.
Passed my driving test. I'm really grateful to have very good instructors like Mr Ng HS and Mr Lim CC. They not just taught me the techniques but also cheered me on before and after my test. I trusted God in the test, believing that He'll lead me through. God is so good cos He never fail me this time. I've got the tester who I always wanted. He was very kind to be throughout the test and even warned me before I almost knocked down the pole. I was so happy that after the test, I went to take photo for the driving license and the administrator at the license processing counter was telling me what a beautiful smile I had. Well.. that's cos I'm smiling from the bottom of my heart. And like dad said, my test day was really easy to remember cos it's on 5th May, on Friday. Ha... God is faithful.
Went for all 6 sessions of Emerge Conference. Felt like it was the greatest commitment I've made in the last 18months. Was recharged, inspired. Shall share more about the conference in another entry.
Went for BV audition on 23rd May, just a couple of days before my POB paper. Initially I was very reluctant to go for it. Felt I wasn't ready and somemore in the midst of my exams. Nonetheless, I went for a shot cos of Claris and Daphanie. But in the end, only Claris and I went for the audition. We were the 1st 2 candidates. I originally picked 2 songs, "Cry" and "Take me Deeper", but as we were practising that afternoon before the audition, I picked "A heart after You." Felt that I could perform better vocally with that song although I wasn't really familiar with the lyrics. Soon was 6pm. As we were waiting, I could feel butterflies in my stomach. The aircon in the church office was so powerful that my hands were icy cold. Sis Caroline took our attendance and shared her experience to calm us down, but.. I was just too nervous. When I went into the room, I stood before Sis Annabel and Sis Alison. My legs were shivering. I sang. Duh... I forgot my lyrics so Sis Ally helped to prompt me. My face was flushing red. I knew cos I could feel the heat in my cheeks. Finished the song and my legs were still shivering. Then Sis Ally asked me if I was nervous. Sis Bel helped me replied, "Of course, her legs are literally shivering." I just smiled. Sis Bel gave me very good comments. Both of them were very happy with my vocal quality and diction, but they also shared with me the kind of pressure I would experience on the front stage as a BV. Then Sis Bel just said, "Well, you know what happens on Singapore Idol when you forget ur lyrics. Hope you can continue working on it and try again the next time." I just nodded my head.
Both Claris and I din make it through the audition. Well I was pretty angry with myself cos I din make it bcos I forgot my lyrics. Diong... But never mind. Champions are those who never quit.
God is still good. =)
