note: this is a wordy post. to read or not, it is up to you.

little what my friends would have expected,

some don't even knew...

But yes, I have this small passion in me that wish to perform, to act and to sing.

And this led me to go for this singing audition today after seeing their advertisement on Gumtree.

All I can comment about that place is that, it is quite shabby, located in some industrial park,

just a small unit of an industrial building.

Though the website said that it had been around for 13 years, (I just recalled about this while typing here) the building's directory didn't update their name on the board.

It still reads CK Communication, something like that while the name of the music school is actually EAI Multimedia.

I thought it might just be that the school is borrowing the premise for the audition, so I went up to look for the place.

Realised that the signage outside reads EAI Multimedia clearly. I never suspect anything and I went in.

Went through an interview with the lady there, observed the whole place (on my own because she had other things to attend to for a while) and found out that most of the people there are erm... China people? Not that I am prejudice against them or anything, but... why are there no locals if the music school is so reputable?

Was asked to sing in front of the whole group of learner dancers, then went to the recording room and sort of sang did some voice recording?

After all those singing, she spoke to me in her office and told me that the school would subsidize my whole course fee of $2.1k which is over a span of 8 months. And you know what? There are only classes on Saturdays at 4pm.

There would also be a chance for me whereby a demo recording would be done, so that even if I am not selected by the school as a representing singer for outdoor events, the CD could still give me a chance to come out to the public because it would be sent to Sony BMG, Warna, Universal, etc music firm to test my skills. But the fee of recording the demo CD would cost $1.8k and it would be bear by me.

I had a tough time while I was in her office, it somehow feel as though she want me to make a decision on the spot. However, I explained to her about my circumstances and I would not be able to fork a large sum of money at one go and I really need to consider about it.

She looked quite reluctant at first to let me go home to think about it, but in the end, she had no choice but to accept it. Before I left, she told me to give her my answers by 9pm, 24 July 2010.

Texted friends, consulted them, seek for advice, shared with them and yes,

I am very glad they replied to me.

Some were very encouraging but are concerned that it might be a hoax.

Some told me "If you are going to pay so much for a music school which no one really know, why not pay more and go to a famous one? At least it is more recognised.".

Well, that strike me and made me thing over again.

Though many replies were really encouraging, there is this friend who is really straightforward by replying, "Ok, forget thoroughly about this singing dream and concentrate on your poly studies."

While I was still surrounded with all those encouragement, he bursted the bubble with this reply.

It may be right to a certain extent because everyone must dare to dream in order to succeed in life,

if you would agree with me.

I had made my decision now.

I would see how things goes in life in the future, see if this passion still stay with me.

If it does, then maybe I would consider going to those famous music schools to pursue this dream.

Some of you might be thinking "Hey, you are not studying about Business, it is a Tourism sector you are looking into, why are you thinking about singing and acting? It is not related at all!"

Well, what we do now would not necessary shape our future. It might not even be what we would become either. Because everyone have this little thing in them, that is Dream.

Everyone would dream to be someone, something or even, somebody...

And no one would know how far that dream would bring them, it is in them, they are the only one who can bring them a step forward to making the dream come true.

No one is too old to dream, dreaming is never stupid because everyone have their right to be dreaming.

I realised my dream.

Have you?
