Intercollege Public Speaking Competition 2013

3rd place inter-college public speaking competition #yay #K11 :) thank you for all the good luck and support. I don't really expect it at all. I did my best =] #2ndRunnerUp

This is my first ever attempt in Public Speaking and I never expect that I could ever win this competition!
I mean, being in the top 3?? Never cross my mind before.
The competition was intense, pretty much challenging.

The preliminary stage basically I sing too much, haha.
(aziana hor, you think this is public singing ka? XD)

My final Public Speaking Finals: Many Colours, 1 Picture: The Malaysian Story

Quick tips for public speaking competition, if you want to win, you need some sort of style (According to judges comments). Attract  and grab attention with that style and you'll impress the judges with some good introduction. =]
Feel free to ask me questions here. :)

Basically I score pretty well for impromptu speech whereby the question is something like "Why smart people are not wise?".

I can consider myself lucky as I am getting topic that I really comfortable with. Its rather peculiar that I am not nervous at all standing on a big stage.lol I guess I love big stage. =D

I wanted to post this like, long time ago, but I didn't get the opportunity to do so... haha
(One of the reason is super laziness)
Once I enter my 4th semester, everything is like, "BOOM" so many activities and work to be done.lol

I try not to make my blog post too long. haha
It has been an unforgettable journey throughout.
Meeting new people, nice people. People you just randomly 'clicked' like you know them like an old friend!

Preparation for preliminary of Public Speaking.

So many amazing things happen, and going to happen.
I'll do my best to spend a little time to update because this is my diary.
It's fun to read back the memories that I made along my journey :)


I work hard for things I love with all my heart.
I know what it felt like at the bottom of the wheel of life.
I always remind myself to stay grateful and humble.
These achievement is great, but it is not permanent.
Nothing is permanent in life.
... and nobody is perfect.

I really want to make my parents proud of me and let me do things I passionate about.
This little daughter of yours is working hard, praying hard and studying hard.
She have a big dream and goals.

Thank you so much, Daddy and Mama =')



Last but not least, thank you for reading!

P.S: I did tweet my idol, Nurul Izzah, MP Lembah Pantai and she wish me good luck for the competition as well. She's so nice!
She's my inspiration for this public speaking competition. =)
She's a public speaker in her own class.

Tanglung and Winter Festival K10&K11 2012

We're "友"! =)
(Friends!)
*With whole band member*
I LOVE Yinzi~

Finally, the final week ended and study week starts.
At last, able to upload this HQ video!
Our voice is not really clear, due to some technical problem.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy it!


We're from Yinzi Acoustic Workshop!

Vocalist, acoustic guitarist : Foo Jiunn Shyan
Vocalist: Aziana
Keyboardist : Cherry Hui
Lead guitar: Low Wellson
Percussionist: Edwin Lee
Bassist: YS Lim







It is an amazing experience joining Yinzi and singing live band together with them.
I really feel like we're like family- bonded by passion and love towards music.

They are really good and I really amazed with them.

**********************************

I started joining "Pesta Tanglung" or Tanglung Festival event in 2011 when I first sang solo 'The Moon Represents My Heart' by Theresa Teng. My friend who join MTP (here for the MTP blogpost: http://aziana-teh.blogspot.com/2011/11/malam-tunas-putra-universiti-putra.html) recommend me as I said that I can sing Chinese song.

I always wanted to sing Chinese song on stage since I was primary school because I was addicted to Chinese TV drama that time.
I enroll in National Primary School (Sekolah Kebangsaan) that do not have chinese-speaking students, so I don't get exposed to Chinese language especially Mandarin.

Who knows that my wish came true when I enter UPM :)
Well, I guess that's why I didn't get the overseas scholarship. God realizes my childhood wishes. :)

But for 2012 Tanglung and Winter Festival, I am gonna sing duet song with a very talented guy. He sang at Pesta Ang Pau UPM before and I have no idea that he is from neighboring K10.. lol

He is such an amazing and talented singer!

Taken from Gary's fb tagged photo.
Nice shot.

I am so lucky to be able to duet with him.
Its alright that I don't have the opportunity to duet with Wang Lee Hom. Haha!


The band member is awesome and really supportive!
I really admire their skills! Salute~

From left: YS Lim, Edwin, Jiunn Shyan, Wellson, Cherry, me.

To be honest, I really admire this girl: Cherry~
She is so cool, pretty and friendly!
I admire her piano skills and her ability in music. :)

Cherry and me :)

I want to, once again, say thank you for the Yinzi group to accept me even though I cannot speak Chinese (learning now. haha) and I always blur because I do not really understand Chinese fully. (^^;;)

It is a great experience an such pleasure to meet them, as we share same passion towards music.
We believe that: Music is universal and not bounded by language. :)
(yeah, we suddenly talk in Japanese~ haha!)

I am looking forward learning music and singing again with them.
Currently learning guitar~ :D

Miss the moment :')

Alright, some selected photos~

Alright~ Thank you for reading!

P.S: Oh, I am so lazy to watermark my photos. So no watermark for this post's photo. haha.

EE Coursenight 2012: [Game of Fate]

Malam Tunas Putra Universiti Putra Malaysia 2011 [K10 & K11] : Seta Walinongsari

Hi!
Today is 1.11.11 and I'd post this at 11.11am. =D
Hey! I have 11 followers.
I stayed at K11. haha
I hope its a lucky number. ;)

Okay as what I've mention before, I'm going to post about Malam Tunas Putra Universiti Putra Malaysia 2011, in short MTP UPM 2011.
This is my first ever performance that I involved in and... make me kinda.. Er.. famous? LOL Sorta.. Not really... I think?

Anyway, I include 3 videos that I made especially for this post about MTP K10 & K11 2011.

MTP is basically a night of performances whereby the 1st year students show their stage talent. That would include dance, acting and singing.
Before I continue any further, let me present you the video of the night of the performance. ^^

We get 3rd place overall~! Which is good. But if there's no technical problem, we might hit 2nd or maybe 1st place!


Read more below for Behind the Scene video, Rehearsal and awesome pictures that create this wonderful memories!

A review about my opinion.lol :
My favourite part is when I sing the last part "...lagenda~". There was total silence when I sing the ending part.
It was a SUPER INCREDIBLE moment ever!
The part where "Kaulah satu-satunya.." is awesomely smart when our movement looked synchronized. Wow.
The best part is that WE all are TOGETHER! That's why I don't feel scared because we will back up and support each other. I know that I'm not alone, we are not alone!

Do mind a little story about myself?
Well.. I'd like to take this opportunity to tell a short story about myself ;P
I was able to sing when I'm 3 years old.
Gosh.. I love holding microphone... Blimey! Even until now hehe.

Guess what?
The first song that I sing is sung by Sheila Majid, Aku Cinta Padamu.lol
..and the first song I sing in UPM is sung by Sheila Majid. Wait, is it Datuk Sheila Majid now?

Still I don't think that my voice is nice but a lot of people said that my voice is nice.haha
The last time I took singing competition is when I was 12 (I got 1st place...) and that was the last one until now.
During my secondary school, my self esteem is incredibly low.
...and my friend, Ayu and Diana, in my opinion, have far better voice than I do.
 Hence, I don't and I didn't show my talent during that time.
Because I think that I don't stand a chance.

But things change when I enter form 6. I started to get involve with singing and performance.
I sing mostly Japanese song so they always call me Japanese and ask me when I will go to Japan.
=.= aiyo... waitla.. I do postgraduate there ya! Working very hard here.

When I enter university, with me taking the course that I love! That is: Electric and Electronic Engineering. I have this different attitude about myself. Far better than before.


I feel that joining MTP is the 1st step that I need to take to show my hidden potential and talent.
Its now or never.


Joining MTP too, make me feel motivated from the words by the trainer about confidence that I never have it before.

They have the same beginning too. Like us. But what make them successful is that the level of confidence and charisma they've developed throughout.

Then I realized.

We all are at the same floor. This is just a beginning. The story starts here.

We make mistakes and we learn.

There's no time to grief and regretting the past.

Just keep the motion going and we'll able to achieve what we want.

******************************

Now come back to the topic.lol
Do you realize that there was technical problem?
That is just unforgiving!
The Old Man's microphone didn't work. Luckily covered by the Young Man. =P
...and when Kina sing, there was a pause...
...Luckily again it turn out to be all right.^_^;;

In this rehearsal video will show you the way it suppose to be. Somehow.
It was recorded a night before the performance.

The song that I sang is cut short for the real performance =)

...and I don't know if anyone realize it... I forgotten the lyrics at the middle of the real performance! Wah!

Sorry! lol

...Sorry again for the blurred video.. It suppose to be HD but since I render it to be a bit low resolution (HD video take forever to be uploaded!) and I use HandBrake to make the file smaller after that. So it kinda... blur. =P

Now this is the video that I made especially for this post!

Taken personally from my camera. =)
