CONGRATS TO HAZEL, SONGSIM AND WENDY WHO GOT INTO FINALS! (dont know who else got in, oh well, maybe i shd say congrats to whoever has gotten into finals ytd!) Wendy is damn zai lah! Participated in all three possible categories (CO ensemb, Perc ensemb and Yangqin solo) and ALL THREE WENT INTO FINALS! (haha! jeanette! another shen de shen!)
Ahhh, this is making me feel stressed. It seems like everyone around me has gotten into finals! Omg... When I flipped through the competition programme booklet, my confidence was alleviated once again. 45 ppl, do your probability calculation and you'll know how slim the chances are. Oh fine, I should just admit that Im one who has extremely low self-esteem. I cant be optimistic at all at this point of time; Im super negative about everything. Im really scared.
Oh well, I should think of ways to make me feel better.
Never get into finals =
1. Have more time to prac Li Shan Yin
2. Can go back to NYCO to help out with Chun
3. Can go and watch competition everyday, like two years ago. AND I GET TO WATCH ERHU OPEN AND YOUTH'S FINALS!!!
4. Do not have to pia Yang Guang and Di Yi Er Hu/embarrass myself with those two pieces
5. Watch movies/serials online (which I havent been doing since the start of hols)
6. Go out and play
7. Read more
8. Complete the two HCI math papers
9. Pack my messy room
10. Have more time to prepare SOMETHING:D
Meanwhile, when you're on the stage,
1. (quoted from zls, xls and Yuheng) 'Be like Shunta, imagine you're the best!'
2. (quoted from zls) 'When you're on stage, you're the eldest cos even the adjudicators have to listen to you.'
3. (quoted from szemin) 'Don't care about who's watching you! Just treat all of them as little kids!'
4. (quoted from xls) 'When you're on stage, don't be too nervous. Just try to get into your music. If you're too nervous to do that, think of the next phrase as you play.'
5. (quoted from Rozie) 'In every pieces, there's surely a certain part which you'll be afraid of, maybe becos you used to break down at that portion. Practise that part slowly and don't be afraid of it. Don't think of it so much when you're performing on stage, or you may break down once again not due to technical reasons, but your fear.'
Things to do:
1. Wear red undergarments to ward bad luck away. (HAHAHHA! JKJK! posted this for fun and I won't do that lah!! HAHAHA!)
2. Pray very hard. (prayers do help!)
3. Smile confidently when you're on stage.
4. Forget about everything and think of your music.
5. Do your best and leave no regrets.
Oh, I'm inspired all of a sudden. I recalled how I overcame the toughest moments of EOYS this year (the exam that Im most worried abt in my 16 yrs of life)! 'Leave no regrets'. YES, THAT'S IT! I told myself to do my best. Even if I didn't perform well, at least I've done my best, so I won't regret! YEAH MAN! Just do my best. Heck care about what the result's gonna be. Just don't leave any regrets! (:
