LOL... I, Jian Ming, a banana , no basic education in mandarin joined IMU chinese singing competition. LOL How you doing? :P
Haha... i cant even read, write of listen. And still..i'm there. There's 3 catogories in this competition, Singing solo, Singing in a group, and composing category.
Actually i took part for fun ni, cause they have a piano composing category ma. So, just try try lo... cause i'm never active in any activities in my uni.
Haha..as u know, i don't know mandarin, So how the hell i can still join?!??!??? Thanks to Yiau Hong, i found a professional lyricist who is an expert in writing poems as well..Somemore my batch mate. She's Christine wong. She wrote such great lyrics to the song. Oh yea..i didnt say which song? hehe... i chose "Blu Rhapsody" as the song. I think only very few of my friends heard the song, cause it was made very long time ago since form 6 and i havent really "furnished" it :P I'll upload the piano song. Anyway, Christine decided to help me with the lyrics.
Now i need to look for a singer. From Yiau Hong again, :) i found Wen Yi, a very nice bubbly girl who was in the solo category. She decided to sing the song... SO YAY for me.., cause can join d :P
Was kinda panic..cause can't look for singer initially . hehe
Then train for about 2-3 days before the competition on the 7th august (thursday)
hehe... the funny part is that.. there's only 3 contestants in the composing category, 1st one is Marshall, a nursing student who made a song to dedicate it to the myanmar children who are suffering. Talented right? wait till u hear the second one... David, my batchmate, close friend of mine... Very very talented in music, he wrote the lyrics, the melody and he's playing the piano while singing. How cool is that??? and he dedicate his song to his grandpa... very very sad and touching song indeed.
Nway... that night i'm very happy, because Christine willing to sacrifice her time to write the lyrics, and Wen Yi who's willing to sing the song and they all make my dreams come true, which is to see my song comes to live. And it did. I'm very very happy with that.
The results???
It's not important to me cause i'm just happy that it's alive. i wont talk about it here. But what i can say is that everyone did their best and it was a great performance by everyone :)
Anyway, i wanna thank Christine and Wen Yi, for believing in the song. Yiau Hong, thanks so much for helping me..cause initially i didnt want to join the competition. David, thanks for the piano skills u've taught me, Chun yen, thanks for coming for the practise to help me out and thanks to all of u guys who came on that day to watch us play and sing :) This is a great experience that i'll never forget... thank you so much
I'll update the pictures, lyrics and the videos later k :)
Christine with Charlie (my batchmate, in the finals of the solo category)
15 days till my 1st Exams in Sem 3. 1 more days before i can live my long lost dream for 4 minutes. I waited my whole life for somebody to bring IT to live. IT is going to be for real. Winning is not the main priority, but i would be happy just to share my emotions through IT with my friends and other people. IT would be legendary :P
