Destiny

It’s been a while since my last post. Let’s go through things by time. I shall start with Valentines Day. A few of my friends told me they felt discontented due to not being able to even see the people they want to on that day. At most time things never go the way you want it to. You just have to keep trying in different ways. You might no succeed but at least you tried. I’m quite contented having done what I wanted to do on that day after a few change of plans.

Moving forward and it’s Leo Idol. Failing the audition is nothing as it’s quite expected. Being insulted by one of the judge who from the way he comments I could see that he’s not really qualified as a judge is pretty pissing off. Having my friend who was good almost not going through to the Selangor finals we almost wanted to screw the judge.

I shall talk about that particular friend of mine, Christopher Saw now. He almost didn’t get to the finals but with a little bit of luck he actually went through. The following day was the Selangor finals and he then tries to get songs for it. Me, Chong Sheng and Chien Lung promised to help him out if he passed and we did. Around 9.40 in the morning we went to his house, listened to his song, gave comments and help him find the minus 1 music for his song. After that we went to Chong Sheng’s house to dress him up. Except for the shirt is a little bit too big it’s cool. When we were heading to Chong Sheng’s house we realized he left his lyrics at home and so we thought it’s okay cause we can print in Chong Sheng’s house but there were some technical difficulties and printing was a problem. In the end it was printed anyway.

He was the only finalist who hasn’t arrived at that time and so I quickly drove there and we paid for some expensive parking. About 30 minutes before the competition started he came out to practice his lyrics while 3 of us style his hair for him. Then the competition start and there were a few contestants who screwed up or chose the wrong song. He himself suddenly stopped at the last versed and paused for a while due to the lost of rhythm. It was forgiven however cause even artist has this kind of mistakes but they know how to cover it up with their experience. And then it was the announcement of the second round contestants (2 people fighting for 1st place). Situation became tense, and Chris went through! We were all freaking happy at that time.

Chris couldn’t remember the lyrics for swear it again and that’s when CS suggested to him the song when you say nothing at all by Ronan Keating. Chris wasn’t sure about the lyrics for the second verse and so we went to find the lyrics for him in the mall. CS and CL then went to the Karaoke Box to copy the lyrics. After that I touch up the lyrics by listening to the song and then CS sms-ed the lyrics to Chris. In the end he WON! And he’s going for the Finals! Won't you call that destiny? I would.

Going on and it’s the Leo Club of PJI’s Incoming Board list. With no obstacle at all I’m now the proud incoming secretary of the club. I was an Interact for 3 years, one year a membership director and then switched to Leo and now the secretary. I missed out a lot on those 3 years I wasn’t a Leo but I also get to see many things I couldn’t if I was a Leo. I call that destiny as well.

Destiny, it's unexpected
