Don't (You Dare) Forget The Lyrics!
The famous MediaCorp sign.
I thought it was cool because the satellite dish has the word MediaCorp on it.
The sticker with the password that allowed me to enter the gantry.
I went for my first of 2 auditions today.
That's right..
I went for the 'Don't Forget The Lyrics' auditions at MediaCorp.
Though I was still in the recovery process from yesterday's big throw up, I braved myself and went for the auditions alone. My mum was supposed to go with me today but my grandmother fell in the toilet last night and so she was worried and decided to stay home and look after her.
I like to be punctual. Though my auditions are at 10.30am, I woke up 3 hours earlier. I took a shower and left home at 8+am. I hate the trains on Sundays. I had to wait like 7 minutes from Redhill and then another 7 minutes from Raffles Place to Toa Payoh. From Toa Payoh, I took a cab straight to Caldecott Broadcast Centre.
I reached very early. Like 1 and a half hours early. I wanted to sit down but the seats were occupied. There were quite a number of secondary school students there. And they're all from those prestigious schools. I couldn't stand them as they were very noisy. But of course, I couldn't have told them to shut up or anything. Apparently, there were some competition going on. It was kinda like that National Science Challenge thing.
Moving on, the receptionist then called me to get a ticket with a special code to enter a special gantry that required the use of the code. There were a lot of people there going for the auditions and they're much older than me. I probably was the youngest one.
Next, we were brought into a room where we had to fill in a very long application form on top of the one that we have sent earlier by mail. It is very interesting as they ask questions like "What's your most proudest moment in your life?", "What are the 3 most embarrassing moments of your life?", "What's your favourite dance movie? -my answer was of course High School Musical", "Which living and non-living person would you like to meet? - I answered Miley Cyrus and Spider-Man" etc etc etc.
They even asked to draw a self-portrait of yourself there. So I drew mine with more hair. During the time we were filling up the form, the people in charge played an episode of the US version of Don't Forget The Lyrics. I thought it wasn't so bad. I know a couple of songs from that episode.
Since I was the first one to have completed the form, I was then brought to audition. Before entering the audition room, I had to choose 1 of 3 songs to fill in the missing lyrics. There were My Way by Frank Sinatra, an Eagles' song and Umbrella by Rihanna. I chose the latter.
The person gave me the sheet of Umbrella lyrics with blanks. I could fill in the words for the first verse and the chorus but not from second verse onwards. When I entered the audition room, the producer told me to look into the camera and introduce myself and what I am currently doing. He then told me to sing the song I've chosen. He said that I got the words right. Which was awesome!
He then asked me a few questions in relation to my answers in the application form. He said since I am a big fan of Miley Cyrus, can I sing a song from Miley. I sang See You Again. They seemed to enjoy my singing. Then he asked a question that I kinda have expected he would ask.
Why must we pick you to be on the show?
I said that I am probably the youngest contestant here and most people think that I wouldn't know any oldies but I want to prove them wrong. Doesn't mean that you're not born from the 50s era, you don't know songs by Frank Sinatra.
That was it.
Audition over.
They said they would contact me if I'm selected to go for the next round. Please pray that I can make it to the next round.
On a sad cum angry note, I am so pissed with my stingy uncle. I was about to use the internet to blog and download the LSC stuff when he came. He was saying like why did I lie about not letting him download songs into his MP3. I am angry at him because he told my mum that we haven't been paying my grandmother since we stayed here. I'm like FUCK OFF lah! Who said I haven't been paying?? Did you ever give grandmother money?? He was banging the door and behaved like some barbarian. I tried not to be scared of him. But I was afraid that he would break my laptop. I just don't get people like him. He doesn't have kids, both him and his wife works and is so damn stingy. It kills him just to buy you KFC!
Now I feel that staying with people (in this case, my grandmother) really sucks. If I'm still going to stay here, these people are just going to come here and annoy me. I can't wait to really get a place where me and my mum can stay. I think it is better that way.
Moral of the story: Don't stay with other people other than your own family members. It sucks big time!
Bye.

This is the new Channel 8 drama event of the year that Jovis and Lee Yan love to watch.
Vandalized vending machine # 1 : This must have been written 2 years ago during the Singapore Idol fever as it has Rahimah's name on it. Rahimah was my secondary school's senior.
Vandalized vending machine # 2: This one has other names from other shows. I think there were some from Project Superstar.
