Singing competition 高阳星光大道

Hi all!

大家好！

I'm here to update about FINALE for Chinese society singing competition :)

我来更新华文学会高阳星光大道歌唱比赛（决赛）的。

So they said we have to arrive early. Before 6.30am. I woke up at 5.30am, feeling like ...

工委说我们必须6.30am之前到，我5.30早上就起床了！感觉累到……

When i reached school, i went to change into my beach fashion outfit.

到了学校就直接去换我的海边风格服装。

My long skirt just flies around like nobody's business, but yes of course, I'm really shy.

我的长裙飘飘飘~当然，我很害羞。

Here's me. My small eyes looks swollen.

这是我，眼睛感觉肿肿的。

After that, the makeup artist and hairstylist all arrived to help us TRANSFORM.

之后，化妆师和发型师都到期了，他们是来帮我们改造的。

ha ha, my bare face.

我还没化妆之前……

Sorry, i don't want to show you the picture of me after makeup and hairstyle-d because it's really "AUNTIE", 

我不想要给你们看我化妆过后的样子，真的很复古和“aunty”

i don't mean they are not professional, just that i look so weird with those curls. 

我的意思不是他们不够专业，而是我真的不适合卷发。而且……我短发耶。

But i did take some picture after competition, by then my curls had already gone.

但是比赛过后我有拍了些照片，那个时候我的卷发已经差不多直回了。

PYTHON. Hisssss...

I don't know why i'm updating about Python. But this topic really drew my attention. I was just googling about stuffs i wanted to know and then i saw a video Python eating swallow deer and then spit it out. You can't really use the term EAT as python don't chew, they just SWALLOW you straight away. Well yeah, how scary is that?



And from googling to WIKIPEDIA.

The Pythonidae, commonly known simply as pythons, from the Greek word python (πυθων), are a family of nonvenomous snakes found in Africa, Asia and Australia. Among its members are some of the largest snakes in the world. Eight genera and 26 species are currently recognized.^[2]

Pythons are found in sub-Saharan Africa, India, Burma, southern China, Southeast Asia and from the Philippines southeast through Indonesia to New Guinea and Australia.^[1]

In the United States, an introduced population of Burmese pythons, Python molurus bivittatus, has existed as an invasive species in the Everglades National Park since the late 1990s.^[3] 

Prey is killed by a process known as constriction; after an animal has been grasped to restrain it, a number of coils are hastily wrapped around it. Then, by applying and maintaining sufficient pressure to prevent it from inhaling, the prey eventually succumbs due to asphyxiation. 

Ok, so you wanna know how the Python eat BIG STUFFs? Here, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constriction learn about Constriction.

Constriction is a method used by various snake species to kill their prey. Although some species of venomous and mildly-venomous snakes do use constriction to subdue their prey, most snakes which use constriction lack venom.^[1] The snake initially strikes at its prey and holds on, pulling the prey into its coils or, in the case of very large prey, pulling itself onto the prey. The snake will then wrap one or two coils around the prey.

A Carpet snake (Morelia spilota variegata) eating a chicken.

Contrary to myth, the snake does not crush the prey, or even break its bones. Traditionally, it has been thought that snakes hold tightly enough to prevent the prey from drawing air into its lungs, resulting in death from asphyxia.

If you think all of the above Python are devil, here, let's see some human OPEN cut the Python and get the DEAD pig.



Basically, i tried to search for

PYTHON EATING HUMANS

And then i gain a picture...

Ok, i understand that it's A BIT disgusting, but some of you might wanna see it. So those who felt like vomiting please proceed with what you're doing. We are almost ending anyway. 

PG 100

Disgusting content...

Not really that scary..

Just lots of snake liquid and some blood...

HUMANS ATE BY PYTHONS!

No picture...

Nah just kidding..

I won't make it extra large, or some of you might really puke.

kthxbai

I did set the picture x-large

SEE? IT WASN'T SCARY RIGHT?!

compare to this...

THIS.... is scary.

Training for FINALE (school singing competition)

So we were told to gather at the school bus stop and they will bring us to the trainer's house to train our vocals and techniques of how to sing. Frankly speaking, it was educational. As in, it helped me a lot. So, it was counted as a success i guess? Even if i didn't win this time, i gain enough experience already. Appreciate it much :)

So we went to Kido's house, he's a trainer as well. Singer i think. And it was a big house. Some where around Klang Parade...

So basically the first thing the trainer told us when we reach the house was, 

"who's afraid of dogs? no...Puppy.."

And eventually there's someone who doesn't like it. But i love it very much.

Here. 

An 8-years old poodle with my Seniors smelly socks. This poodle is PRECIOUS, maybe because it's old, it's less active... And we all love it. It doesn't run around chasing people and biting other people like mad dogs. Instead, it just lay under your foot, and let you pad it. Very cute and obedient dog. Frankly speaking, this white poodle looks very much alike a lamb or goat. I'm serious! Not joking. It's like a lamb, especially the fur.

Unlike the 3-4 months baby poodle.

I know right, looks cute on pictures and all.. but in real life, it's super mischievous as it jumps around biting people and scared off pretty much beautiful ladies from our team. It's really hard to capture the dog's movement, as it moves every time, unlike the white lamb. So i had to set my ISO high. Dem. :(

And then it's the training session. Guys first, as they have different range of tone compare to girls. And so they are lead into the soundproof room, (i call it soundproof because we can't even hear a single person singing from outside) While we were told to wait outside. 

Awesome prizes won by the trainer. Really awesome. 1st, 2nd, 3rd. Everything also got.

Pictures were taken by Wendy. As she is the one who has the freedom to go in and out from the room and to the living room.

Then i realize how loud it is when we were in the soundproof room doing the "AH~AH~AH~AH~AH~AH~AAAAA~"

It's amazing how u can't hear a thing when you were at the living room.

Okay, so first they tried out our range. Mine was quite bad, cause i can't pull too high nor too low. So... yeah.

Picture above, we were told to put our hands near the throat and see if you can feel the vibration when singing.

Picture above, we were to feel our diaphragm, i guess, one of the main thing that's important to use in singing. 

AHHHHHH~~~~~~~

Once again, when we're done, we're out to the living room again. And this time it's the youngster's turn.

And then everyone were to enter the room together, one by one we sing a 30sec song, and they will correct us. This is the part where we learn most.

I guess that's it. That's all i could say. Just stay tune for the FINALE, it would be AWESOME! We will put on our costumes, pretty clothes, whatever you call it, and we have the best PA system, as they told us, and even hairstylist and makeup artist to doll us up during the Finale. That's why i said, it's awesome. Stay tune!

kthxbai.

U sing? We sing.

It's really some shocking news for my friends when they first heard me telling them "I'm going to enter the Chinese society singing competition"

当我告诉我的姐妹们“我要参加华文学会的歌唱比赛”时，对他们来说，真是个晴天霹雳的消息！

I've never sing in public, nor i had the guts to do so.

我从来都不在大庭广众面前大声唱，我根本就没那个胆量。

Here's a picture of my senior, name Benjamin. in short, Ben. 

这是我学长的照片，名字叫Benjamin, 叫他Ben.

He's a guy with lots of confident, which i don't know where he got them. He always had his chin up and stand straight. Overflowed by confidence. 

他是一个很有自信心的人，他总是抬头挺胸。信心满满。

A good example to learn from.

是个值得学习的榜样。

So that day, there were 3 judges from outside. They were singers, professional singers.

那天，总共有三个外面来的评审。她们都是专业歌手。

Came in pretty condition and pretty smile that stunned every girls and boys.

她们的穿着不随便，而且有很美丽的笑容，迷死很多人。

Here's my friend, Huey Nee. She was there was me that day :) Till the end. 1pm-6pm. THANK YOU!

这是我的好姐妹，当天有他陪着我。从1pm-6pm。谢谢你！

Miyan, photographer of the day. Or maybe, videographer. Thanks to her, i can finally listen to how to contestant sing. We were to wait at class and not allowed in the hall. Which was pretty sad.

摄影师，我的姐妹。感谢她，我终于听得到参赛者们的歌声（video) 当天的我们必须坐在教室里，不能进礼堂，真伤心。

Me: "Huey nee!"

Huey nee: "Huh?"

Me: *CHIK-CHAK*

Huey nee: YORRR!

Here's another beautiful friend of mine, who stayed back for the competition. Even though after piano class, she still came back to watch the competition.

这是另外一个美女朋友，就算钢琴班结束，她还是到回来继续听比赛。

I know right, i might be wondering why have i so many beautiful female friends.

我知道你一定是在想为什么我有那么多美丽可爱的朋友。

Let me tell you, because they're gift from God :)

让我告诉你，她们是上帝赐给的礼物。

This is Vi Xin (white) , even though her friends went home, and left her alone, she's still there to listen to the competition. 

就算朋友们都回家了，他还是留在那里继续观赛。

Not forgetting, CHIEW FEI. (no pictures) 

So, her picture would be 

(^OO)^

OK, thanks to her, she was awesome. 

感谢她，她真棒。

Always, where she go, there's me, 

where i go, there's her.

我去哪里；哪里就有她

她去哪里；哪里就有我

I'm not gonna post all the picture of the contestant singing. It's more important if you hear them SING. I don't prefer watching people with deep expressions with the mouth open half-way-frozen-like-statue and can't hear  from them.

So i guess that's all.

Next post would be about our training the second day after the competition.

Thrilling :D

That....i would post some-people-singing-pictures. 

It's different la.
