THANK YOU.

"
Dearest all,

Have i ever spent some time to thank you guys for all the time and effort and money you've spent on me? If not... allow me to say it here. Thank you so much for all the little messages you've left for me, for the concern and sometimes anxiousness that you feel for me and my career.=) So many of you to thank, i might not be able to remember your names... but i recognise your faces. Kailin, Kendrick, Xue Ting, Ivon, Joyce, HUiyuan, SAbrina, Sianx, Delphina and many more... And i really need to mention these few names. Kelly, Zijie, Melvin, Trecia mei mei, Carrie Yeo(haha!), Helena, Shunyi and MANY MANY MORE.

WHere would i be now without all of you!

I hope those who came down to Hwachong yesterday... enjoyed the performance. I'm sorry i was so nervous... haha, somehow i couldn't help it. I felt as though i was back in 2003, before i knew how much i enjoyed singing on stage. But i really hope you all enjoyed it. And thank you for coming down specially to support... =0)

Came online just now to download songs for tonight's performance and i saw the email by ger_dine about "chu mo" being in the top 20 on 93.3fm. I was speechless. Somehow i felt as though i was "chu-mo"-ed by the effort you guys have put in.

From the very beginning of the competition, i joined with the sole purpose of wanting to sing and to pursue singing. I never imagined it would bring me so much love and support from all of you. To tell you the truth, when i first heard that Daren's song was in top 20 i was happy for him and in fact was not surprised. That's the thing about daren... his charm, the support from his fans. And maybe a small part of me said "don't think i have as much as him..."

But i was wrong. I might not have won, i might not have the kinda of charm he has, but i realise that what i have, is good enough. And i am more than thankful and contended for every little bit and everyone of you.

So for this, i thank god. I thank him for taking me this far unscathed. I came out of this competition stronger than ever, more determined than ever. I am not perfect. In fact, i'd say i'm far from perfect... and yet i still receive so much. Been spending some time these few days... thinking about what i want to do in the next year or so. I haven't reached a conclusion. but all i can say to you all here and now... is that "I will work hard."

God bless you all, I'd want each and everyone of you to be successful in school, in work, in life. you don't have to be cream of the crop. Just do your best, with no regrets... YOu can do it. let's work hard together. =)

Cheers,
diya "
