Because I’ve joined this competition before, but I never got the chance to appear on the show and I really hope I can get into the show :’)
Special thanks to Yoshino for becoming my cameraman. This video was taken in a hurry, so we basically take it one shot. That’s all. haha. I am not really happy the part that I voice kind of weird, but not bad. I hope.

This event is by the @TwtUpCampus which is basically a twitter account with a lots of followers which their curator is Malaysian students from various university. They curate the account for 1 week and talk about various issues and experience sharing which are really interesting ^^. I am pretty excited I can meet those curator in person this week!

I am both excited and nervous. OMG.
Look at those awesome line up performer!

Its pretty frustrating that my blog is still about Bahrain while my life is full of unwritten story that waited to be posted in this blog!
Now is already week 13, the final two weeks before the study week and the finals =O
My timetable is pretty full and I am so busy with all the rush of assignment and presentation.
Its kinda fun in a way though.
I've been updating myself a lot through Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram than this blog!
oh my poor blog, being abandoned. I'm so sorry! XD
This is just some random update somehow release some stress.
I feel this blog is pretty messy as I wanted to update lots of stuff and ended up = no update at all!
There's a lot of things going on this semester:
First time compose + sing my own song "Time Trap" with the best band in UPM and talented friends from Music Faculty for Yinzi Concert 2013
Singing invitation from USM Japan Festival
First time performing solo guitar on stage
Gathering with my foster family and sisters~!
First time singing at Bukit Expo- Pretty weird experience though.. hahaha
First time performing my own song "Time Trap" at K11!
Anyway, I really work super hard for this semester.. sometimes, its just, I don't know, thing goes wrong with the way I answer my test paper for Machine and ended up with 20+ marks deficit. =(
I really need to find out about it ASAP!
So far so good ^^
Be positive + eat healthy + rest well + pray hard + study smart =]
Hello everybody, its
been a while since I've been updated anything to my diary blog here.
(It's always 'I will
update soon' means I'll update in a month time, or completely forgotten... -_-)
The fact that I
rarely update my blog even though I have a lot of fascinating stuff happen in
my life is because blogging is something that I need to put lots of effort!
Haha.
Besides that, since
there's a lot of people around me reading this blog, so I need to be cautious
with whatever I'm writing..
From photo to the
writing, it took me few hours, even half a day to post a blogpost.
Since its been
semester holiday right now, I'll try to update as much as I can. I
"try".lol
The main problem
that I have right now is "self-control" and I believe that this holy
month of Ramadan will able to let me get control of myself, my emotion,
physical and spiritual.
I'm ready to fully
use this year Ramadan to be a better person, build up my self confidence back
and relax.
I'm ready to cleanse
my soul, my mind, my body and myself.
So, I have a lot of
things I want to concentrate about is about "myself".
All these while, I
kept thinking of how my image is represented and judge by people.
Hence, I keep on
punishing myself with negativity.
That's why I have no
motivation to even update my blog (that's mostly about myself and my life).
I lose control. I
lose myself.
This.cannot.go.on.
I need to change
this, I need to be in control.
So, Ramadan is the
best month to regain my control.
Its all about
self-control.
Wish me all the
best~!
By the way, I'm
working on my first ever song, which I found it kind of strange song.lol
I'm into music more
on interest and passion. Basically, musical noob. XP
I need to work on
the lyrics and the melody, so I can let my friend to arrange the song.
Then I can submit my
demo for next semester performance!
Guitar chord that we
use in our cover: C G G C F G E Am F G
[Special thanks to
YS Lim that 'captured' the guitar chord.]
I video record this using
SONY DSC-TX7 10.2 Megapixels camera that I bought in 2009 (4 years already!)
I edit the video
using Sony Vegas 7
Record the cover
using Audacity with Samson condenser microphone
[Thanks to Foo Jiunn
Shyan for letting me borrow it :) ]
Not to mention to my
best friend Farah Hidayah who helped to take the video =D
Video location:
Somewhere in my beautiful university ;D
Meet my new friend.
Jacelyn. I know her through a Rookies Cup competition for a funny-cute song: wo
de daxue de shenghuo (My University Life Story) - soundcloud link
Its pretty amazing
how you can click with people who have the same passion: MUSIC!
This photo is to
promote the cover 1+ months ago… before even start recording.. XP
I still remember
Skype-ing with her during mid-term break
to learn this song in my hostel room and she's at her house at Pahang .haha

Hostel room turns recording studio. Recording my first cover with Shin Yee XD Thanks to @foojs for the condensed mic. The sound is super nice! #newcover#MicInPandaBin ._. Hehe
Mic in panda bin because we don't have the mic stand to hold it XD
We recorded the
cover few weeks back now only start making the video... Since the amount of
activity that I join + with the project + Assignment is super duper lot… we
somehow need to squeeze the time to do this video in final exam week. Haha.
..and we did it.
Quite happy with the outcome, but still need lots of things need to be improve.
Thank you for the
support to my friend, my family, my course mate and you who are reading this as
well =)

Tough competition. I'm so grateful that I get shortlisted!
The NHK World Radio Japan producer e-mailed me! :O
Now up to the number of votes then.
I don't really expected anything but I just want people to know that I can sing. I'm born to sing. :)
Oh ya! I sing this song without any accompany background music.
Just my voice.
Having hard time recording it. haha.
I sang VOICES by Akino Arai
My comment is:I feel that Japan is such a magical place. This magical song that I sing is for Japan, where dream begins.
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 aboutMalam 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 get3rd 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. =)

Even though we trained for a week with sleepless night, the bond that we created with each other it seems like we known each other for a year!
Wonderful wonderful friend they are.
Not to mention, wonderful and talented trainers that we have. =)
Firstly, I got sick for 2 weeks since 1st Jan 2011.
Anyway, I’ve taken MUET for the 3rd time. Still I got band 4. T.T
I’ve got improvement that I can say, that I’m proud of are my essay and speaking. Two most difficult papers I got a very high mark. ^^
(I’m trying to stay positive by complimenting myself.. lol that’s positive right?)
But I got very low (for me) marks for my reading and listening. T.T
Its look like I’m going to use my SPM result to go for the Monbukagakusho entrance exam.
I’ll make sure I’m fully prepared!
(Easier said than done though... sigh)
I did apply for Nagoya University scholarship with JAGAM.
But I think I failed to qualify to their exam or/and interview.
It’s okay. I’ll try other method to get what I want.
Another door closed, but another door will open! Maybe a much bigger door. lol
I’ve taken violin and piano class started this month. I really wanted to learn these two instruments so that I will not regret not taking it in the future.
I may be lousy with music, but at least I know what music is all about.
My voice still not yet recovers from my previous illness. Therefore I can’t sing. T.T
I’ve read about Justin Bieber concert world tour in Malaysia. I really wanted to go!
Gosh… I adore his voice. His voice is unique, cute and has value. Very high, I must say. No wonder Usher realized it! His talent is worth millions! Well, you can see it by yourself.
He might lose this cute voice when he grows up. The voice turns cute to manly voice.. I guess? lol
Update 30 JAN 2014: Naaahhh... not a Bieber Fan anymore XD
Have you ever wondered what is my schedule everyday during school holiday?
Morning: Wake up, eat breakfast, weeding my dad’s plant or observe and help my dad working out in the garden, plant tree, trim my bonsai tree.
Afternoon: Eat lunch and walk around the house then ‘fight’ with my dad’s bird. lol Then does some indoor work or reading or learns language and do exercises or plays music instruments.
Evening: Watch and help my dad at work, water the plants, and watch the bird take bath, help my mom at kitchen, eat dinner, go walk and run around the house, stargazing, visit my grandmother house, searching for sleeping birds and chickens, searching frogs, and so much more that I can do at night. lol
Of course there are a lot of activities in between like watch TV, pray, surfing net, play game, sleep etc.
I’ll update next post with picture of my discovery throughout my life after my exam. So please drop by to see my post. Have a nice day!
The last birthday with '1' in front. Next year gonna be '2'. lol
Happy Birthday to me!
I did the writing. ^^
(I wonder how many people will wish me)
I don't expect nice birthday for me this year. Since there's so many things happen. Busy busy busy. Its ok. I don't mind.
*cry silently*
I didn't update my blog about 9 months from my last post. Extremely busy with a lot of things and a lot of things happen to me. This post going to be the longest post. I hope I won't bored you. Ever wondered what was my muet exam and my Monbukagakusho scholarship went?
Lets start with my MUET exam result:
Exactly the same marks 2 times in a row! (look at the date also) OMG... So near yet so far from band 5!!
I try again this year-end MUET exam. I will never give up!
About Monbukagakusho, I went for the exam for 5 paper, i.e: Maths, Physics, Chemistry, English and Japanese Language. Despite all my effort it doesn't seems enough. Imagine this. There are about a thousand applicants who sit for the exam. But I won't give up!
This is the exam hall looks like. I'm NSA002. The guy behind me is NSA001. He came all the way from Penang. I wonder whether he get the scholarship or not.. (Confucian Private Secondary School hall)
Last year I applied (2009) I got NSA002. This year (2010) also NSA002. ha ha ha.
(why I keep getting repeated number?)
I never regret the fact that I take form six. Its the best decision I've made so far despite so many challenge and difficulties. Great friend. Great teacher. Great experience. I'm gonna miss the school life.
I always wanted to become prefect when I'm in form 1. I undergo probation last time but I wasn't the chosen one. I get the opportunity to become a prefect in form 6. I'm glad that I become one member in this family. Somehow I feel sad about leaving the board. Thanks for all the prefects that made my life such a wonderful story. I wanted to take this opportunity to apologize to any prefect or non-prefect if I did something wrong or offensive word or act that hurt any of you guys. I'm not perfect and human will never escape from making mistakes. Thank you!
-Majlis Perpisahan Pengawas 2010 : 8/8/10- Kai Shin and me. I gonna miss you! (Thanks to Siti Sarah for this gorgeous picture: taken from Facebook)
I love the prefect blazer for no particular reason. I guess there's a lot of sentimental value for me.
I would like to thank to Shaun Leslie the opportunity to sing in the band (Its my dream!). We're practicing like hell for 2 weeks. haha. The talented musician in the band turned out to be my own classmate. haha. I'm talking about you, Edmund and the rest of the musician, Zhi Cong, Joannes, and of course Shaun himself. I have a terrible sore throat + fever 4 days before and my voice is not at its best. Sorry if I ruined the performance in any way. Thanks a lot guys!
Me singing 'fly' by Hillary Duff. Thanks to Shardha Lim for the picture.
Thank you to Kak Mira for lending me the dress. ^^.
These are some captured moment that I took:
Eating at mamak after practicing. lol
Shaun and Zhi Cong (in studio)
Joannes and Sarah
Edmund and Loges
These are some moments in school:
Mix everything! - Chemistry lab-
Cleaning class
Physics lab
My best crazy friend ever ! Say Nee and me!!
There's a lot of moment that I won't trade for anything in this world.
I'm happy that I take form 6. I never regret it. Despite I didn't able to get Monbukagakusho this year, I'll do again next year. I'll never give up. I'll do my very best to get the best result. For all the friends that I met in this adventure, thank you for colored up my life. I love all of you. Please don't forget me.
Thank you.
P.S: In this holy month of Ramadhan, I would like to take the opportunity to apologize once more to anyone that know me. Lets do our best to achieve what we aim for and be successful in any path that we took.
