Mystarz 25 finalist

This is top 25 finalist for Mystarz Singing competition. A mixtures of many feelings when i was in that situation. A mixtures of being scared, worried and nervous. When my name was mentioned that i was selected as the top 12, this was it, i felt that it was my time to prove myself. Whether or not i get through the last stage of the finale, the experience and exposure is the one that counts. Nevertheless most of the contestants were really good and some were already singers in their own band, but being the top 12 out of hundreds of people is a great accomplishment. Singing is my dream, it is the air that i breath and it is the foundation of my core soul. To sing is my ambition and it will be my goal to go the distance.

The picture above is the last of the 25 contestants before they were eliminated one by one. Now that the competition has ended all we have is good memories and friendship. I still remembered when i sang the song " angin malam" and chinese song "peng you".. the look of the other contestants and their eyes, nonetheless all of them very telented o.. nasib baik saja saya dapat menambat hati juri.. all the judges mentioned is that i needed more vocal practice and training and i went through all that during the clases in LG house.

It has given me vocal and beathing strength, moreover the exposure in singing infront of the entire nation. It does get overwhelming at times but its all an adventure and it is all a ride to remember.

















This is one of my funny pictures that i find facinating. See my finger, lucu kan..actually itu adalah satu taktik make your voice go higher and bigger.. hehehehehe its that true kah?







Taken from LG, one of my favorite pictures but many has complained that i was a tad bit too thin at that time. Well who can blame me with all the stress and the sleepless nights and the diets to look after the vocals.


I would like to say thanks to all of the crew involved, tenaga pengajar and band member... professional singers just to name a few such as Siti Burhaliza, M. Nasir, Aubrey Suwito and many others.. thank you so much..........

Taken in TV3, Sri Pentas and we were invited to be guest singers for the carnival that day. It was a one day event and each of us had our own selection of music. As for me, I sang "Tujuh Nafas Lagi" one of the Malay song that i sang for the Mystarz competition. That was also a pig out day where I ate a lot of kuih raya and rendang... other well know local artist came as well to perform their songs..... fun but hot..

It was not only a carnival but also a reunion for us to meet the crew members of the LGMystarz competition. We had so much fun and a lot of cathing up to do. I hope there will be a reunion concert again for all the MyStarz finalist to catch up and and see what they have done. I sorta support for each other as well.

Life goes on, no giving up and still surviving earning a living. Music industry in Malaysia is different from the rest of the world. I will strive to be the best and to learn the industry and be willing to be exposed as much as possible with whatever is going on.

Lg open house

LG open house, saya dengan ijam,badri,tasha,russel,mimi dan afif yang lain tidak sempat datang atas sebab masalah2 yang di hadapi... pada hari itu saya juga menyanyi kan lagu bahasa cina yang bertajuk gai bu gai ( should i ), i was very happy wif my friends, happening lar time tu.. farhin abdul fatar turut hadir untuk memeriahkan lagi Lg open house, i miss all of them,

saya menerima hadiah daripada mr tan, ramai yang hadir pada malam tu, makanan yang disediakan pun sedap2 belaka... hehehehehe, kalau boleh harap2 lg akan adakan lagi jamuan sebegini.
Lg open house nie di adakan di dewan TTDI, it was very nice , i like it very much..

Saya sedang menyanyikan lagu cina, yang bertajuk gai gu gai ( should i ) yang dipopularkan oleh Jacky Cheung. One of my favorite songs, Learning the song was a chanllenge because i am not a chinese speaking person but once i got the hang of it. Everything came to place. With the help of my Chinese friends, I want to thank them all for helping me in the right pronounciation.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank to all my friends who always supported me, sangat bertuah kerana dapat kawan seperti mereka.. saya masih ingat lagi apabila mereka cakap dengan saya, andy you can do it.. don't give up... walaupun banyak kali saya gagal tetapi mereka still bagi nasihat dan dorongan kepada saya.

Without them i would not be able to do it nor make it to where i am now.

Performace at Istana budaya

Hanya 2 hari lagi untuk saya menghafal lagu P. Ramli bertajuk "Burung Kenari". Sangat lucu waktu rehearsal malangnya semua video yang telah ku rakamkan tidak boleh di downloadkan. Saya tidak menyangka perkara ini akan menjadi kenyataan kepada saya. Tapi nasib baik lar ada kawan2 membantu saya, sebab lagu ini pertama kali saya dengar dan pertama kali saya nyanyi.

P. Ramli's songs are very meaningful and simple. Moreover it relates to a lot of the older generation as they appreciate it more. I made it a point to learn more of P. Ramli's songs and various other musicians from the yesteryears. We never know, maybe someday i am required to sing songs like this for private functions.

Show night, i was not aware on the amount of people that were comming, but when i went on stage, it was a full house. Every seats were taken, VIP boots were filled with important people from the cabinat and Royal families. It was a night to remember. I would like to say a nightmare as i was not so confident with the song. but confident or not as a musician the show must go on. This is something that i always thought would happen tosomeone who already has a name in the industy. Nevertheless, i was given the opportunity of a lifetime and i did my part in it. I sang my song well with claps and people singing along to my song as well. Although i made some minor mistakes with the lyrics but no one cared, they just enjoyed it.

I will never forget that night. Hahaha, i lost myself on stage and sang with all my heart. Before that i cant memorize the lyrics and the melody, i was worried of a black out. But when i went on stage i felt as thou my body was overtaken and i was another person. I just did my thing and many who heard me trying hard to memorize the songs were very proud that i made it through amazingly. I prayed and thanked God it worked out well for me and then the audiances claped their hands.

A lesson to be learned. Next time i will always be ready and make sure everything is well prepared.

Pictures of me mocking aroung in the changing room. mirrors with light bulbs all around it, a sink, toilet, shower, bed, tv and a stool!!!!! hahahaha. what we always wanted in a hotel room. Kidding.

Tidak dinafikan semua peserta hendak menang RM 100,000 ringgit, jumlarnya adalah sangat besar bagi kami. Tetapi bagi saya jumpa lar tu adalah tidak penting, yang penting adalar pengalaman dan ilmu yang saya akan dapat sewaktu berada dalam mystarzlg nie. Menang atau kalah adalah belakang cerita.
