Well, i don't quite understand what the English for 'lomba mazmur' hehehe
In order to commemorate St. Jacobs Parish in Surabaya, there are so many event held by the committee, such as Psalm singing competition, cooking competition, make up competition, Amazing race, etc.. such a happening contest/ competition....
"Lucky" me, i was half forced to join the psalm singing competition hahaha......yes, everybody from St. Joseph Region (our region) choose me and other friend from choir group to join the competition. The main condition as the participant is never singing Psalm in the church before and of course you can sing!!! wkwkwkwk
Well, actually i could not practicing the song so well, i just look at the text for a glance and "ok, i know the song, i know the tone, i'll practice it later" (bad habit) instead i don't have any music instrument or stamp-flute so......kind a lazy to practiced....
Yaah.... the big day is less than a week, so i (finally) borrow the stamp-flute from mba Dian (thank you mba....) to check the tone from the text but still i could not practicing the song 100% because there was so much to do in the office (pheew)....
Finally, the big day is coming, it was FRIDAY by the way...yes it is working day!!!
without proper preparation, i drove my car to church and still trying to find the right tone to sing...pheww what a mess....i even changing my shirt in the car....(rush hour day), yaah... that day really a messy day.....
Finally, i arrived and hurry up stairs to do (very) little practice with the pianist and to calm myself while waiting the other participant to come.
The competition held at 7 o'clock, with 3 professional judges (that's what they said) sitting quietly, without any expressions and do some notes (notes..notes..notes...) while the participants, who are never had any experience in singing at the podium, get a sudden stomachache, cold fever and hungry hahahahahaha yes yes yes...we are so....nervous....
One by one, the participant singing in front of the jury, while i was waiting on my turn....my hands get very cold getting so nervous...(glek...).....and thanks God it goes so well..., lucky me, we have a group of supporter that continuously giving us spirit to do the best and motivated us....(including spying on judges result hahahhaaaa)
yah...i think i could not express the story so good...i just glad that i am one of the participants and getting 2nd winner for the competition and had my first performance on Sunday, 4th Sept 2011.
