Singing has been my biggest love since young.

My mom used to teach me children songs and my most vivid one was 天下的妈妈都是一样的. She would get me to 'perform' in front of relatives and friends where I would get claps and praises for. I was her little singing star. And since then, I love performing.

My Grandpa was an active member of the RC and he once took me to a lantern festival outing with other children from the neighbourhood. The microphone was passed to me and I started singing a NDP song and the rest of the children sang along with me. That was my first time 'performing' in public.

My Dad loves singing and he first installed the home-style karaoke when I was in primary school. They used to come in the form of VCR tapes. My dad would record all my favourite songs into 1 single tape and I would sing from the 1st song to the last.

Then came the time where KTVs started running. There were no rooms at that time and we would all take turns to sing in the hall. My dad would only bring me and not my mum and sis because I would sing but they won't. I do remember myself singing to the latest hit songs like 大约在冬季, 一场游戏一场梦.

I was in the Choir during primary school. I also remember performing a chinese duet with a good friend during Children's day celebration. That was my first time where I actually volunteered to perform.

I was also in the choir during secondary school but I was not as active as compared to primary school. My school did hold singing competitions but I didn't have the courage to register myself.

My very first singing competition was at Ngee Ann Poly and I actually made it to the finals. After many years of not performing, I was very nervous at the finals. As expected, I didnt get into the tops.

During poly time, my sis got to know Douglas and that was when I started to go KTV with them. Douglas was the one who signed me up for my first public competition. It was a huge contest held at Chinatown point.

After that, we started to go for MuChuan's annual competition. That was when I started to gain more experience in performing.

Next came one of the biggest highlight which was the Project Superstar. I went through 2 rounds to be one of the Top 50 girls but failed to qualify for the TV stage.

After that came Be A Star competition, it took me 3 years to finally qualify for the finals which were held in Genting. I had the chance to perform at Heeren and Suntec too! Those were the most enjoyable moments of my 'singing' life.

Then Harkcafe came around and I joined the competition there too. I was also given some chances to do 1-hour performances with Douglas. That was my first time being paid for performing.

Through that competition, I got to know people from LWSSOM where I got a chance to perform at some neighbourhood malls. This is the 2nd time where I was paid for performing.

Then came my proudest moment where I joined the RED SUN competition. I came in 3rd and won $1000 cash and a massage chair from it! I remember myself being really really happy as it was the first time where I actually won cash from a competition~!

Nowadays, I still look out for competition to join once in awhile. But its getting rather difficult as I am considered old already. There are kids as young as 15 or 16 who are so much more talented than me.

But still, I will join these competitions for the chance to perform. Don't ask me when will I stop joining because I can never say. Who knows I may be appearing in some senior-citizens competition when I am of that age~!

After typing this post, I really wanna thank all who have helped in nurturing my love of singing.

Arigatou~
