CAMPUS SUPERSTAR 2009! :)
Omg, I'm soooo tired! This week is really happening haha. Woke up early in the morning to meet xun at 9am at Eunos, to take bus 93 to mediacorp. And she overslept and was late. -.- I was trying to negotiate the time (later) yesterday! Tsk tsk. But it was lucky we still went there early, because when we reached about 10am++, there was a queue outside mediacorp leading out onto the road already. Auditions start at 11am! But thank goodness xun's friend gina went there super early and was all the way at the front in the carpark, so we managed to, ahem, join her. :)
Then after that another one of xun's friend, yujie came too. Heh heh, and we managed to sneak her in to join us. Yeah, she came much later and the queue must've been really long by then. So there's four of us joining CS'09 together! :D Oh well, but all four of us got the "TEHHHH!" Yeah, we didn't get in. Well, I didn't harbour much hopes because I know it's really difficult for me to get in since I don't have singing experience and all, but I still had this glimmer of hope that the judges would be more lenient this this time and let the normal people in. But as far as I heard, we were the first 200 (the number starts from 1101 and I'm 1294) students who auditioned and only 15-20 people got in! O.O Yes, they are really strict! And somehow alot of guys got in. The girls received more "TEHHHHs", maybe because there're more girls in the first place, but... Oh well! At least they let me finish my chorus, which was an improvement from last last year! :D Some people were rejected when they only sang one word, I heard! Hey, that's really really mean. :( I don't know whether it's factual though. There are two audition rooms, one has all the famous judges like lin fei hui and lee wei song, but we didn't get them; instead we were judged by some unknown judges we'd never heard of before.
But I don't regret joining this competition! It was like a field trip to the inner part of mediacorp. We actually entered some restricted area for the audition I think; like not open to visitors. And it's kind of interesting seeing how the media works. Like reporters normally go for people that put on makeup because they look nicer on tv. -.- And how they actually work out a on-the-spot "script" for interviews to make it more juicy, like asking some guy participant to run away and hide behind a tree when he sees the hosts who are trying to interview them. Oh, we saw lai yi ling and lin cui fang wearing jap-school like uniform! Hahaha they look really cute. :D
Here are some photos!
The long long queue. This was taken wehen we were like, near registration!
You know, this time bringing a 4R photo was not mentioned in the rules and regulations of the application form. I was almost thinking of how the people are tired of throwing thousands of photos every year during the auditions, then I realised we have to take photos there at $2 each! Yeah, in front of that CS'09 board thing. Even if you brought a photo, like xun, you still have to take a photo and pay $2! Boo.
Yujie and I drank jiajia liangteh during our wait! Lol! :)
We walked down this long long hallway (which is actually just another carpark) after a long wait of say, 5 hours?
An Instruction clipboard! That's the room we went into! You walk in, face about 4 judges you don't recognise, you say whatever that was taught in the instruction clipboard, start singing, and a judge gives you a cue to look behind. I was quite happy with my introduction! I said it quite nicely I think. But my voice was shaky when I started to sing, because I was just shaking inside. -.- My song is 回到原点 by 钟晓玉. If you watched the previous 7pm channel 8 show, 大城情事, it's the theme song. :)
I think this is my first attempt to rake a mirror image. Xun, me, yujie and gina over at the back! The girl bending at the side is the new friend we made (we travelled in groups of 5).
The media at work! There's lai yi ling and lin cui fang in their outfits. :D
1294! Hahaha go buy 4D! :D
Yeah! So that was my day. And after that, the four of us, yujie went home in another bus and wenfang, gina's loyal supporter, joined me and xun on our way back. Then after that I went for my first facial! Yeah, I was lucky, I managed to get an appointment at Leonard&Drake today last minute after someone cancelled hers and there was a discount of 50%! :D Hehe, it was a super relaxing experience, except for extractions! That was really painful! :/ But the rest of it was good, especially when I had a double layer cold mask and just lay there for about 20 minutes, which was super comfy and relieved me from my whole day of dumb waiting. Arrgh. Prom's costing me too much. But oh well! At least I had a discount for such a good treatment hehe. :)
Yesterday:
Oh! HAHAHA I found a job! :D It's at Marina Square; Yuki no Yaki. The in-charge's really nice! I stated that I can start work after next week, which is full which events like commencement ceremony, prom night and also class chalet, and he asked whether I could start next week! Of course, I gladly agreed. :) I just have to fulfil a quota of 8 hours a week, so I guess I could squeeze some time... He says he has to inform his manager first, so I'm still waiting for his call. I like their uniform! It's a maroon blouse with a black apron. Hmmm. I wonder what would I be doing? :)
Went for the NLHC thing with Nicole and Christine. We reached there early at the padang, and couldn't get our free gifts because we had to wait for some ulu pandan cc in-charge or something. So we walked back to cityhall, where Nicole and Christine went to RafflesCity first while I headed over to Marina Square to get my job. :D In the end we went back there and just got our free t-shirt, a nice pink band and some fan that was given out by people there haha. Omg then after that Nicole wanted to bring me and Christine to find this ramen shop which was supposedly at China Square and often recommended by Sean or something, and we hunted high and low and couldn't find it. So we ended up at the unfamiliar China Square where a lot of people were having their "happy hour" or something, and ended up grabbing a bite at Pizza Hut. After that we had to walk back to Clarke Quay station, which was the nearest station there, and I had no idea how we managed to reach somewhere so far; we walked from the padang and Raffles Place MRT! In the end I could only reach home at 10pm, which was why I wailed when Xun smsed me and wanted to meet at 9am today.
The Day Before:
Modern dance try-outs! Oh, it's like ballet/ chinese dance! Man, I had to do splits and some backward stand thing. It was really tiring! But very fufilling too. :) It's like my first decent dance practice since primary school! I'm still deciding whether to go for hiphop or modern dance though. I think my personality fits modern dance side hee. Made new friends over there too, and didn't feel like going for hiphop tryouts, which was halfway through practice. Xun went for that though, and she told me it was good! Yeah, so she's like set on not taking modern dance and taking hiphop instead.
Nevermind! I have a whole Sunday to myself tomorrow, for a long-awaited good rest! My parents are leaving for Genting early tomorrow morning hee. Uhh, bon voyage, mum & dad! :D
