Whao! Our cover!

Omg, it is crazy. Our cover already hit 320 views in two days, even more than our performance of We Were In Love two months ago. Haha, my horrible high notes. NOOOO! The power of facebook and twitter, and of course youtube!

But nonetheless, it was a great and fun experience. It is really stressful to sing live with a guitar. I'll do my best in the future. Don't know say how many times already, don't know if I improved. Maybe little by little I hope.

Next up! CJ Open House! Fighting!

Watching lots of Korean shows and varieties but not studying my Korean. Hahha, Idol Army, Running Man. Dream High ep 2 now, since I stopped at ep 1 before exams. Lol.

And finally conditioner for my hair. One week without conditioner was horrible.

[Cover] Ugly - 2ne1

The cover I did with Yi Fang for a contest. Not the best but it's our first try. Do like the youtube video if you like our cover. Thanks! :))

But the more I hear my voice the weirder I find it. Why so sharp arh? Sian. I could do so much better. But I will need a lot of takes. LOL!

But really need to thank all my friends for their encouragement, really means a lot. Although I don't know whether cos they are my friends that's why all the feedback isn't too bad. But actually to be honest, I am still a Leo. And I absolutely hate criticism. Although I myself find my parts a little horrible, especially my high notes, I still dislike the thought of people criticising. Eh, makes sense? Never mind! But it's okay, I am trying my best to accept it cos only then I can improve. I will swallow my ego down my throat. Hahha! I MUST LEARN TO ACCEPT CRITICISM.

Supper with bosses and colleagues.

Work today! Why customers always come in last minutely? But it's good in a way, cos they help me to pass time quicker.

After work, had supper at Da Chang Jin Korean BBQ with bosses and colleagues from both Tao and MG. Bosses- Kohei-san, Miyazaki-san, Fujibe-san, Matsuoka-san. Colleagues- Ivy, Rhoda, Boy, Choong, Feng Jun, Jason. MG Staff those I know of- Cabanas, Jun Guang, Wei Yang...

Oh no, even Kohei-san knows I like Kpop. The power of twitter. He was asking, "You like korean pop? Then you must try this Korean sake." Had a sip, tastes like alcohol, no yoghurt taste at all. Are you sure it is alcoholic yoghurt? But it does not taste that bad.

Fujibe-san said, "I remember Qian Yi shouting at one customer." I was like "Me? Shout at customer?" I don't remember this scenario, I only remember customers shouting at me. Then he said, "This old lady which had difficulty hearing. And Jiaxin and I was laughing at her." Oh, thanks for reminding me. Lol. I recalled something like that. I think the restaurant was too noisy and it was table A at MG? I think I really spoke quite loudly. Hahhaha!!

Then the bosses dropped a question, "Do you like smoking or non-smoking guys?" Kind of obvious. Cos all of them smoke, so I replied softly. Then expectedly, one of them will definitely say "I don't smoke." or something like that. Kohei-san said, "I quit three months already. No, five months." I replied, "Really?" Fujibe-san also doubt it. Isn't it obvious? LOL! It's expected but it's still funny. And we were taking photos, although I don't understand Japanese, I sort of figured that Kohei-san and Miyazaki-san were saying something like, "Qian Yi's camera, must take a nice photo." I guess. Yup, this is my bosses for you.

It was sweet of the bosses to wait for my dad to come fetch me before they proceed to go home. This kind of bonding is really nice. Of course, bosses' treat, though I don't know who.

Exams are over!

Now that exams are over, I can only regret that I didn't study hard enough? MA was the worst paper ever. A miracle if I pass. But actually, some better last minute last minute revision would have gotten me a little more marks. And I can feel a little more secure?

But it's okay. At last I'm free for the time being. At least 4 months. Well, I only need to start worrying about my results 3 months later. As much as I hate it, I think I'll most probably be seeing MA again. Tsk. But I pray hard.

I need to memorise Twinkle. Learn the dance. And I'm gonna do a kpop cover with Yifang! Soooo exciting! With the help of my cousin as guitarist. :) And then I'm gonna learn Sherlock MV dance with 4 others. We will be 'Shiny'! How I hope right, it's just for fun. Of course I'm gonna cover Onew's part. Hehe.

Okay, back to work this week. I hope they will open a new outlet soon. I would totally like a change of environment. But we are seriously understaffed. As much as I want to help, although I don't really feel like working, (and I need money) I can't work much. Cos I want to enrich myself and my weekends are really a little packed, at least for Saturday. I need time to practise also, can't expect me to sing and dance in the office. Haha.

My managers are always understanding, and I'm very grateful for that. I miss my managers, although I often feel stressed, cos I feel that they have a high expectation of me- the permanent part-timer.

Last paper!

I want to sleep but can't seem to get to sleep.

Too excited for tomorrow? Actually I'm scared. My last paper but do not prepared. Pray hard. I hope I won't regret cos I was quite lazy today.

Anyway, I have lots of things I want to do after exams. I don't know if I will have the time actually. Work will take up quite a lot of my time. Although I don't think I will be working a lot, like last time. Not a workaholic anymore. Now as I think of working, I'm quite bored.

But well, I need the money. But but, I want to enjoy more of my holiday. It's like once a year, omg.

Okay, shall force myself to sleep now. I don't want to lose precious marks to carelessness. Marks are really precious. I need 34 of them.

Motivations.

After my last paper, I want to:
-Learn guitar (was my plan last year)
-Watch many many shows
-Learn some MV dances on my own
-Continue with basics 2
-Learn piano
-Learn more Korean songs

Continue what I am doing now, and do even better:
-Vocals
-Korean

Actually I have so many musical instruments at home, which I don't touch. I should learn them one by one.

Improvement!

I'm happy today, for vocal training. Even though it was rather embarrassing, I had a good laugh at myself for my Chinese way of pronouncing the English lyrics of the song. I should totally listen to more English songs. But they are not my favourite to be honest.

Anyway, I'm happy cos my instructor said my range improved. He said last time my voice will be sounding like it is going to break already. I was only scared that I haven't shown any improvement. But now I can be a little relieved. But I will not be complacent, this is instead a motivation for me to work harder. Cos it shows that I can actually do it. I'm gaining back my confidence bit by bit. Hwaiting!

Thanks for the trust.

I really appreciate it when people think highly of me. Well, I will feel stressed, no doubt. But that is what pushes me forward. For me alone, I totally have no motivation. Sometimes I feel that I live for others. I will work doubly hard in the expectations of others, so that I won't let them down. So I'm grateful to those who believe in me. :) When they said that laoshi will evaluate us, the new batch, soon. I was feeling a little scared. I think I haven't shown much improvement. My stage presence is horrible. I need more time to get used to it. I'm really getting comfortable with my fellow singers. I hope I will pass.

Hwaiting!

I always thought that I was not bad. But it's until I joined the crew that I realise I am not good enough. Especially to be put up on stage for a performance.

I was really lucky to be able to perform with my fellow batch already. Like in just 2 months being in the crew, I had this chance. I'm so honoured.

I have so much to work on. But at least now, I feel not as nervous performing in front of my fellow members already. Laoshi's method of teaching is really good. I've learnt to relax and have fun more. But still so not natural. I really have to much to improve on.

Remember the last lesson.. I was totally stiff, and awkward. This lesson was a total surprise which caught me off guard with the 2 guy dancers' collab. But I really had so much laughter.

Although I'm not the best singer, I mean everybody has their own strengths and weaknesses, I have learnt to enjoy the stage a bit more. Just let go more. Slowly bit by bit, I'll try to improve.

There was a few periods which I totally doubted my own abilities. But now I'm getting it back, my confidence. Not super confidence on stage. But I believe I will improve one day. I will work hard towards that day. But it still be a long way to go.

There were moments which I asked myself. Why am I here, is this what I want? Now I can say yes, at last I'm having fun. I'm really learning a lot.

Although I can never be a professional, but I guess this is what people call passion. And I don't think I will give it up as yet. :)
