我不是一个只能唱《疼憨人》的歌手！ (Tuesday, June 30, 2009 / 10:09 PM)
我不是一个只能唱《疼憨人》的歌手！
事情过了3天。我已经OK了！但是每次想到在晚报的报道里，有一个评审说“杨佳盈不可能一直只唱《疼憨人》，但她偏偏在唱第二首歌时表现稍微逊色了点。" 我好介意啊！！！！
我不是不能唱《后知后觉》！！！我只是肚子太饿了！Ok, I know I'm stupid.. 那天我真的失策了。早上7点半起来，我只吃了半个crossanwich。然后下午12点的时候，我喝了一碗老黄瓜汤。That's all！所以，唱完《疼憨人》我就胃痛了！我马上拜托朋友帮我买一杯热牛奶。我以为这样就够了嘛！怎么知道上台唱这一首非常吃力的歌到一半时，就发现“惨了，不够力。”
SIGHHHHH~~~!!!算了算了！不想了！
哈哈哈。

I was reading up on Taiwan's 金曲奖. And I found this... in www.taipeitimes.com..
"
After winning the coveted Best Band category, A-hsin (阿信), lead singer of the Taiwanese pop band Mayday (五月天), said that “being beaten out repeatedly is the best practice for winning.” "
AAARRRHHHH!!! HE WAS SPEAKING TO ME????? hahaha.. ASHIN WAS CONSOLING ME???
okok, fine. He's not. But this is a message to everyone!!!
Thank you all for your messages, 我是没有那么容易被击倒的！！！
I love to sing. As Yuneng pointed out, "要握住心中最初爱音乐，唱歌的本质". I will do just that. A little competition will not set me back! I have a greater plan ahead. I had a great day today and I looked back and thought, "yesterday was such a eventful day!"
Also, today Mr R said something really wise to me. He said "what's wrong with being No.2? the Underdog??" Oh man, it hit me and I woke up!!! I love to sing. And singing is never about competition!!! I mean, who dares to say Amei or Faye Wong is better??? It should not be a competition. It's just so fun to sing and connect with people! I'm sooo sooo blessed to be able to sing to people and be able to touch their hearts. And that's what's most important for me!!!! I will never forget that!!!
Although this time I lost an opportunity to sing to more people, but at least I got to touch some of your hearts yesterday at Kallang!
谢谢你们跟我一起投入在一首歌里面！在那一首歌里，我们是紧紧扣在一起，感受着一样的感受。
I'm super happy girl again. And I will always be!!!! =D

oh man.... i'm so disappointed.
yah, i'm not a fake person so i'm going to honestly tell you that i'm very disappointed that I am not in Top 3. Because I know I'm just a baby step away (can't tell you what this mean until Wanbao is out tonight.)
我总是差一点，为什么我总是差一点？？？
昨天宣布成绩的时候，我还没有那么伤心。我很OK的。But when I went to the Media reception, when I heard THAT news, my heart sank. Why? Why am I always one baby step away. Just like Superstar. It's like deja vu. I lose by a bit, and everyone comes to comfort me and 替我不值 and say that they were rooting for me, or they thought I was the best, etc. BUT what happened??? Last night, while we were at the reception, so many people came to tell me that they were disappointed with the result. Even some of the reporters, the TV producer, some 1003 people. They came to tell me that they were sure I am one of the 3 to go Taiwan. So what happened???
I question my singing ability. I question my star factor. I question everything!!
URGH!!!!!!!
What am I supposed to learn from all these drama??? That I'm not good enough??
真的很累。
But I'm very touched by all these people who love me, who comforted me. Sigh, I'm so blessed!!!! They keep making me cry because of their love. All the nice things that they say. So to every single one of you who are worried, thank you very much for your love. It keeps me going.
Yuneng's sms especially touched me.
"昨天金曲奖，有一句话我深深记得。当华语乐坛已经过了巅峰期时，我们必须回到音乐最初的本质。同样的，无论今天结果是什么，只要握住心中最初爱音乐，唱歌的本质，你就会遇见属于你的巅峰。"
Thanks Yuneng.
Argh, there are so much I want to write about 28th June 2009. But I'm just so exhausted.
Encouragement (Monday, June 22, 2009 / 3:23 AM)
一向来，艺人们说一些“你们的鼓励是我的推动力”等，这类型的谢语，我都会觉得是客套话。我都会想“Sure or not??!"
今天，我有个领悟。我领悟到他们是认真的，是诚恳的！！！！
鼓励是一种无敌有力的推动力。我们华人的文化就是不太会说鼓励的话。在我们长大的过程，拿听写簿给妈妈看，只要不是满分，就会“打到满分”。就是说，90分，就打10下。厉害hor? 所以，lack of punishment becomes a reward.
我天生乐观，很会自己找称赞的话. 我妈没有骂我的时候，我就会调皮地说“哇！你没有打我，就是说我做对了啦？”妈妈就会有点不甘愿地“um！”一声。然后，我就会自满半天。人真的是需要 positive reinforcement 的。
我爸妈，很厉害。他们是无敌好爸妈！他们学会了....称赞！*clap clap clap* 所以，走这一条路，没有他们的鼓励，我是没有办法开心地追求的。当然你们留的那些 comments, 也是帮了我许多的！！谢谢你们。muacks!!!
我觉得我们每个人都有一种责任。对于你的家人，朋友，你有老实地给于他们鼓励吗？说一句好听的话，是不用花钱的！
Stop the criticism and judgment!!! Start telling your friends and family that you love them!!! The world will become a better place! Trust me, you will be happier too!

Yup, I joined 星光5 PK战!!!!
It was really a struggle for me. To join or not to join.
I'm just so tired and scared of the feeling of a competition. You know, the nerve breaking moment before going on stage, the nerve breaking and heart exploding moment before the result? aiyoh, those moment are unbearable. But in the end, I still joined la. I also don't know why in the end I went. I guess I just wanted to give myself a chance? I also don't know what kind of chances 星光5 can bring me. I mean after all, this is already the 5th season of the competition. And we are only going to appear for PK only. Owell.... 不要想太多！！！
So, I went. And I actually HAD FUN! Because I forced myself NOT to think too much! I was distracting myself by talking to other people, listening to other songs, praying, praying a lot to clear my mind, etc. And it was great. It was a lot of fun to sing. I mean I just LOVE singing. So when I just focus on the fun of singing. I forget that I'm on a stage and that I'm in a competition.
I went up there and I sang my heart out.
And so I got in to the 2nd round.
The 2nd round was easier because I already adjusted my 心情. So I went up there and I just sang like I did in the 1st round. Just enjoying myself. Wow!! They didn't stop me. All the other contestants only got to sing half a song. But I finished the song! I sang 《疼憨人》till the end! Wow!!
I really like singing. Be it for a small group of people, indoor stadium sized audience, competition or not, it's still singing. If I'm not conscious of the setting, I will be able enjoy singing.
Yippee!!!! So I'm going to enjoy myself on 28th June (3pm to 6pm), singing my lungs out at Kallang Leisure Park! See you there!!!!
Oh in the meantime, you can vote for me at http://onemillionstar.starhub.com/vote.php . Thanks!!

Brain dead.
Encounter with Terence Cao (Thursday, June 4, 2009 / 1:22 AM)
Yesterday, a very brilliant person said something really brilliant to me.
We were talking about writing songs. He suggested that I go and experience and explore something new everyday. Be it big or small. For example, change of ruote, or an activity that you have never tried before!
It's brilliant.
Yesterday, I tried for the 1st time, talking to Terence Cao. HAHA!
For the 1 year plus that I was with Mediacorp, I've never met Terence Cao. O Terence is my mum's idol. I mean, not that he's old ! But my mum is really hip. I just didn't want to fight with her you know. haha! Plus I was already a BIG BIG fan of Chew Chor Meng.
Yesterday, I finally met him. For the 1st time, I tried "having confidence in myself". Don't you some times feel that way? Like you are too "little" to talk to someone "big". Well, I do.
For the 1st time, I threw pride and self doubt away. My mum wanted a picture of him so I walked up to him and talked very casually to him. O man, he is SOOOO good looking! It's really hard to maintain eye contact with him siah. But I did! He didn't know that I was a singer. Because we never met at work before mah. And I didn't let that affect me. I just introduced myself properly. So we chatted for a while. Then I went on to tell him that my mum is a big fan. But she doesnt dare to come and take picture with you. I even joked and said "so she sent the better looking one to take a picture with you~". hahahaha!
Then he was so nice! After taking a picture with me, he was like "are you sure your mother doesnt want a picture? I can walk over to her you know?" He was so 大方 lo! So we walked over to where my mum was standing. She was SOOOO star struck la! She kept laughing! I'm so glad he offered! It made my mum really happy. Although she still complain that she didn't look good in her picture with him. haha! But seriously mum, it was a very good picture of you! Cos your smile was beautiful! hahaha!
So, lesson learnt on June 3rd, have confidence in yourself, but don't be proud. We are worthy.
New experience on June 3rd - look heart throbbing guy in his eyes. WOO! doki doki doki~
