A dream come true :)

Yesterday was prize-giving and Commencements. I received a lot of collar pins :D

happy me! the Grand Slam one is nice, and my many many collection of school colors. My blazer looks full now. hahaha. yea, after some time. will be getting one more pin for first house cup I think. YAY! :D

So I sang the school song yesterday. both during the day and at night. I was so nervous, practically shivering and sweating through my palms as I waited for my cue to be on stage, ALONE. it was my first time ever to be on stage alone. without anyone else. you see, I have this MASSIVE problem of stage fright since young. that is why I never dared to step out and try being under the spotlight. 

Anyways, this time, there was no turning back. ever since winning Talentime this year gave me a boost of fame I suppose. before I performed each time, I prayed. I prayed that God will give me the courage and confidence to step out into the spotlight in front of the many unfamiliar faces. to give me strength to sing my best. most important to let me be able to prove to those people out there that I indeed have the talents that I was blessed with.

I took deep breaths before going out on stage. then it was time. I went up there, tried not to look at anyone. only staring at the wall at the end of the hall. but as I started singing. the song sort of took me away. I was looking into people's eyes. not afraid any more. I sang like I was on top of the world, although still a bit nervous inside. but I managed to put up a good show. I think. the feeling inside of me was so satisfying. Datin said she cried. I was happy that I was able to actually sing with feelings. though I couldn't really tell that I did, but many people was touched.

After the morning ceremony, some parents whom I don't even know of came over to tell me thank you for singing the song. some said it was beautiful and others was saying that they teared up too. at this time, I found out the I have accomplished something. something big and something that I never really expected.

At night was better I think. my voice wasn't the morning voice any more. not too shaky. mom and dad were so proud of me, apparently mom teared up too.

I would also like to thank Ms Ann, Ms Tan, Ms Winnie, Ms Hui Hui, Joanne, Jes, Irina,Yeong Shin, Cat, Bernard, Deborah and many many more for encouraging me and comforting me when I was freaking out :)

to the teachers, thank you so very much for giving me advices.

and thank you God, for giving me this special chance and honour to do what I like doing best.

Indeed it was a dream come true :)
