Sunsilk Academy Fantasia 2012: Week 5 + The Grand Finale Is HERE.

RECAP:

There was a call for auditions to join a reality Singing Contest in May 2012. I blogged about it then: http://mintleong.blogspot.sg/2012/05/sunsilk-academy-fantasia-reality.html and plucked up all my courage to join the audition, alone...

Turned out I have company!

The first person I bumped into was Tomato Lee, who was queuing right BEHIND me! She's the female lead of my Echoing Love short film, a project initiated by Edmund Chen Zhi Cai.

Thanks SIS for tying my hair for me.

Then I met Kelly Lim, my Primary School friend.

HP from Hpility.sg was also there to cover for the event.

I looked super PHAT in this top.
*Discard top*

I think it's just me.
I gained a freaking 6kg since I came back from Taiwan last June.
However I'm working on slimming down right now, trust me.

Hpility made a video showcasing some of contestants who came for the audition and he recorded mine too. Thank you Bro, at least I know where to improve:



I made it through the 1st round but got eliminated in the next.
The fact that I didn't perform on my 2nd audition still lingers deep within my soul.

I carry that disappointment till this day but of course I'm not going to sit down and sulk about it. The genuine feedbacks which the judges have unselfishly given me made me worked even harder and strive to improve my singing techniques.

Fei Hui Lao Shi, I won't let you down.
