Odyssey Of the Mind

It’s over! It’s all done! wow. after weeks of meeting up, doing props, practicing lines and more props, the auditions are all done! although I am glad it’s one less commitment completed, I really learned alot from the experience of taking part in OM. Mr.Chin told us our scores for the Long-Term problem and he said we did really well for first-timers. It is really satisfying to hear that because it shows that all our hardwork is recognised and paid off (: and I am grateful that I had my teammates to support me and we were all co-operative. I believe that the patience and time and effort put in has shown that friendship really goes a very long way.

 

Inaugural Multi-Cultural Music Marathon Auditions

I attended the auditions today at Republic Poly. It was a tiring journey just getting there from school (took me 1 and 1/2 hours!) and I had to wait another 1 and 1/2 hours just for my turn. I was of course, very nervous but after an hour after hearing the other participants I calmed down a little bit. When it was finally my turn, I was clenching my fists as I greeted the judges while at the same time trying to look confident. I played my two songs (“Whole New World” and “Moon River”) and I was so glad it was finally over! It was one of the most never-wrecking happenings in my life for this is my first ever time auditioning for a concert. However, I am glad I went ahead with it (although I did get cold feet and almost backed out!) and this audition has given me a stepping stone in overcoming fears of auditions and able to perform a skill for others to enjoy. I’ll take part again should there be other opportunities; of course, I’ll practise even harder next time! (:

Now it’s all practise practise practise. There are quite a few other schools involved and I do hope I would get in! (: of course, I would be posting the results of the auditions once I do know and I’ll blog about the auditions after I attend it. till then, ciao (:
