IT aLL BeGiNS Now!!!

All the time, effort and sweat put into it will finally be put to the test on this very day, what I call a very special day for me because it is MY FIRST PERFORMANCE ON STAGE. Everyone from friends to family members shower me with words of encouragement like Gambate!!, YOu can do it!!!, Go all out for it, EnJOY Yourselves; to stir me from the inside to awaken the strength to perform in front of a big crowd. Thankfully most of them are our friends and family members. Some of them acquaintances.

But still nervousness seems to be finding its way into my conscience because first I don't know what the crowd expects of us.and I don't know if my memory cells could suddenly fail me when hundreds of pairs of eyes stare down at you. A spectacular performance, a mediocre performance or a performance expected from the wicked pitches which I'm not very sure especially the latter one. Still, it is a great day and a great week where I have now broken my record of skipping 8 consecutive classes of Health Issues which I hope is worthwhile not to mention the hours spent to practice our music and our staging at Coleen's place.

Hopefully all the months of preparation is proven in our performance which can only be assessed by our audience. Hopefully again, they would not be so critical, especially on the nitty-gritty details.

But the good things happening before the show?? is of course our publicity. Truly this time we have again set a new standard on our publicity appearing in numerous newpapers like The Star, The Sun, NST, The Edge, Malaysian Today, Astro, a Light and Easy interview, Infozone and 8TV. HAHA, it's the first time for me to appear on National Television and its on the "Lookout Segment" of 8TV Quickie. Actually this happened yesterday at12 am, where most people are asleep but I don't care I just appeared on TV. All 15 of us did our rendition of "I'll Be There ".

I think the best way to tackle the apprehension and nervousness is to sing out to the crowd and ahem.....try to steal the limelight, be a "Divo!!" (Diva for gals). And mistakes,sheeesssh.... it's too late to worry about that.
