A quick release
I've been keeping a blog for more than three years now... and i've been faithfully writing(although you all probably don't see the first 3 years of my blog posts because well, its kinda like my private diary that i take out to laugh at once in a while now.)
I think i write so much because in the journey of life, you always have your ups and downs, your highs and lows and your failures and successes.
Weirdly, I think i mostly write when i'm down and out.
Pretend this is my diary post where i hold back very little and don't expect to be judged nor sympathised... just as a release. Allow me.
" I'm down(but not out) today. I think i screwed up a performance. By losing my cool.
I didn't do terribly, but i guess what a close friend said is so true. It wasn't a terrible performance but as the female and male champs of Superstar, we could and should have done alot better.
Well, i think this applies more in my case because i made silly unforgivable mistakes. Like forgetting my lyrics, and totally forgetting to come in.
What came over me?
I wasn't well prepared, but neither was i ill-prepared.
I practiced, I worried about make up about hair about everything. I'm putting in the effort in every appearance i get, heeding the advice of my manager and what not. BUt after all this, I screw up in my performance.
THE ONE THING I'M SUPPOSED TO BE CONFIDENT OF.
Crap.
I took one look at the judges and i lost it. I wanted to impress but i went lost it.
They're not called judges for nothing. They judge.
Daren said : we're no long in the competition, so there's nothing to be afraid of.
But the little girl in me still felt fear, and dang... that's when the errors started coming.
AIYO!!!!!! HOW CAN!!!!!!!
And to do badly in the one thing you've sacrificed and given up so much for, the one thing you love and enjoy doing, the one thing you've earned a title in that makes your family members watch your every step in elation and fear just makes me feel all the more unworthy and so completely doofus-y.
I'm a doofus.
But the doofus here feels better already. "
I really do. Thank you for 'listening'. That's all i needed.

Well, dun dwell over it le.. Everyone make mistakes in life and etc.. It wasnt really a bad performance after all.. Sometimes.. I feel that u have too high of an expectation of urself.. Well, having high expectation is good, but too high of an expectation will only make u feel down when things doesnt goes the way u wan it to be.. Jus like wat i always tell myself.. 要求太高,也只会带给自己更大的压力.. So overall, ur performance was already very good le..
*pat on shoulder* JIAYOU!! =)
I remember u mentioned somewhere in ur blog u do not take mistakes too lightly, it could be a double-edged sword actually : the good thing is u always try to maintain a high standard but the downside is putting too much pressure on urself could backfire at times; hence u need to find a balance. Nobody is perfect, as long as u've tried ur best and have a clear conscience - learn from the episodes constructively and leaven from the experience. I think confidence and composure counts when the unexpected happens. Dun worrie, we can see u've got the right attitude, GANPATE!
diya,
yeah, wat i wanna say, xueting oredi say le..
haha.. diya, u jiayou!
u still have us to support u, n if u have any troubles, can always share wif us..

when u r down..
we r always hear to "listen" to u.
we'll always have ur back..

p/s= lik ivon say.. u have always have high expectation.. nobody is perfect.. dun pressure urself..
Hey diya Dun feel so stress about it. We must not live in the past already and frankly U DID your very best in singing already. Cheer up now and practice will alway make it perfect. And if u felt that the judges make u feel the stress in yourself. Well just treat them like your stuff toy and sing it naturally. This method alway work for singer. Jiayou.

take carez
Gee, think tis way......
A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.
While one person hesitates because he feels inferior, the other is busy making mistakes and becoming superior.
When you make a mistake, don't look back at it long.Take the reason of the thing into yr mind and then look forward. Mistakes are lessons of wisdom. The past cannot be changed. The future is yet in yr power.
MIstakes, obviously, show us what needs improving. Without mistakes, how would we know what we had to work on?
yo! diya,

hello there.(: i doubt you know me anyway but just thought to share a quote with you.
"To find out that there is even one devoted fan who loves you, as a singer, without any condition, gives you tremendous amount of strength and courage. I work over and over again so I don't disappoint those people."
- a certain kpop/jpop artiste.
i dont know you obviously. but i can see for myself that you try hard. so yeah. just continue to jiayou k?(: coz from your tagboard and everything. you really have quite a lot of supporters who are devoted to you.
good that you are feeling better! everyone in the world is entitled to being a doofus sometime i guess.(:
