Dear blog
There’s so much to write..I don’t really know where to start…
But the highlight of this May would be.. the singing contest …
So basicly it’s a singing contest for overseas students in UIBE. They hold it once every year. So every class gets to participate..it’s quite a big thing, especially, this year is UIBE’s 60th year anniversary, so they’re really into it. Anyway, so I represented my class. One student, a few, or the whole bunch can join in ..but my class trusted me to represent our B212 class.
I still remembered how I didn’t know what song to pick… I still remembered how my buddies and I went to karaoke at PartyWorld just to warm up and to pick a song. I also still remembered how I wanted to sing Lao Shu Ai Da Mi, but 2 classes already picked the song, so I gotta chose another one.
I was bloody nervous to the core… I trembled as I sang for the first time in front of my classmates…I couldn’t trust myself. I thought I wouldn’t be able to memorize the lyrics for they’re all in Mandarin. God knows how bad I am in memorizing lyrics. I wasn’t sure of myself. The pressure was exceptionally big.
I prayed and I prayed. I asked my close friends to help me prayer so I wouldn’t get nervous on the stage.. I guess this is the power of Ora Et Labora. J On that big day, my hands were cold, I was so nervous. After class, our 班长, and I went to her room to get ready. Fumi, her roommate helped me with the makeup, my Korean girls – classmates –, especially Eun Hye helped me with the hair. And for the last time I practiced singing in front of them.
I’m on number 9. My classmates were terrific. They’re the best classmates ever! They supported me 100%, they even went to the front near where the judges were, and sat there cheering for me with the blue papers printed my name,加油, and 最棒on them. My homeroom teacher printed them for us. I kept on telling myself “God thank you for the confidence, God thank you for the confidence.” , and so I sang 但愿人长久。
Everyone was quiet as I began singing… I don’t know why, but when I was singing on the stage, I didn’t tremble. I felt this surge of confidence surround me, I felt this calmness within. As I sang I also remembered how the day before, my Cell Group mates prayed for me so I wouldn’t get nervous. They prayed if God allowed so, I would win..But we surrendered all according to God’s will.
There’s an intermezzo in the middle of the song where the music played for about 30min and I didn’t have to sing during that period. My 2 best boy-friends in the class, Shino and Lelepin dressed handsomely came up to the stage and gave me Lily flowers bouquet. They’re so lovely! I was so touched…They said it’s meant to be a secret, they wouldn’t let me know about this giving-flowers secret plan J .
At the end of the day..as the judge began announcing the winners, my classmates went gaga. I won two categories: best performance, and best female. :D . I went gaga, my classmates went gaga, we’re all gagagagagaggagagagagaga~ Only by God’s grace I could win this event J.
On that night, we celebrated our ‘victory’ @ this Japanese buffet restaurant.. God, I love my classmates!!!Affin, my best guy-buddy was also present..Thank you for sparing your precious time, Fin! :P.
So basicly at the end of the day, the lovely smelled Lily bouquet were not fresh anymore, they're about to die.. So as I went home that night, I quickly cut the stems and put them into water bottle..and look how beautiful all of them blossoming :) :)
Dancing Till Sunrise
And last night was also the highlight of this month.. A friend of mine, Ronald invited me to Vics..He booked seats and we had fun!!! My sister and I arrived at Vics at about 11.50ish pm then we were there dancing (and drank a bit) till 5am in the morning. My feet hurt but I felt alive inside ;) . It was such a great night to celebrate the week that had just passed. By the time we went upstairs to the main exit, the sky was bright, and we were like “OMG..look at the sky! It’s morning already!” Was a crazy welcome for Saturday.
It’s already 6pm now.. My head isn’t spinning anymore and I’m listening to True Worshippers “Tuhanku Maha Besar”. God, thank you for every opportunity you’ve given me, thank you for Your constant guidance. Although there are things I still could not fathom, but I know You’re always by my side, I know You have a great plan for me and..God, once again, thank you for Your grace J .
I’m gonna get ready for buffet tonight with my bunch of Indo buddies at Hai Dian..Oh and KungFu Panda 2 is out today!!! Hmm, Oh..darn it, I haven’t checked China Philharmonic Orchestra concert tix for this Wednesday.. I’ll do that after shower.Oh shoot..I also have to send this email to Li Ning my Fudao.. he’s also awesome!! He helped me translated my song into Mandarin :D (His friend actually did it..was so awesome!!!)
This is the best week so far in May. ：）
