For quite some time I've been missing in action, and now I am back, not for long though.
Haiyaa I don't think anyone reads my livejournal anyway.
So it doesn't matter if I update or not.
ANYWAYI've got great news to share with my readers and friends!
I manage to
squeeze myself into a dikir barat group, Dang Anom and compete in the most elite dikir competitions, Mega Perdana, against 11 other female groups. All thanks to my manager in Rubi, Linda.
I had a good time, I swear! All my time that's been sacrificed for the trainings were worth it because you know why?
WE MADE IT TO THE FINALS.With 3rd in Paluan Terbaik and 3rd in Awok-awok Terbaik.
I'll be on TV baby! Mediacorp Suria, 9th July!
At first, I really thought of backing out. I hadn't participated in ANY dikir competitions.
NONE. I haven't tested out the water, instead I'm diving straight, head first, into the sea. Another reason I wanted to quit because the trainings really took alot of my time. Its tiring. Nearing the semi-finals, we had trainings almost everyday. And that's when I had the my most challenging moment. I was down with fever and a very bad sorethroat. How to shout and sing right like that? But with the help of Strepsils, I made it through that 11 minutes. Giving all and whatever voice that was left of me.





This was the night before the semi-finals. Pardon the bad quality :D
& you really need to turn up your speaker volume.
One main thing that kept me going through all those times, my boyfriend, Saeight Daud.
I know if he were to be given a chance at all to be in any of the groups competing for Mega Perdana, he wouldn't let the chance slip by. So why must I give up that particular slot when someone else is "dying" for it?
I saw him at the back of the hall. Smiling. Cheering for me. My Andayu friends. Fatin especially. The whole cohort of them was smiling at me. I felt honoured to be on stage with other Dang Anom members.
The whole experience was just... WOW!
Next week, back to training for the finals and somehow I am scared. Why?
BECAUSE WE ARE PERFORMING FIRST OUT OF 5 FEMALE GROUPS!
But I know with the help of Abang Zul and Abang Zul and the others, we'll make it through, Insya'Allah!
So honey, will you be performing for the opening or would be sitting in the audience watching me? ;p
