Though it has always a dream for me to be able to perform for Special Awards 2009, I have been quite surprisingl for me to think that I am set to be in for Special Awards guitar performance team. It is my first time starting to prepare for such a grand event and performance.
I think that it was quite stressful, in the sense that during guitar practice, it is starting to be very serious, and as I said it is my first time preparing for it, I got that kind of weird feeling. During lesson time, we would practice and practice, and to perfect the timing of the song.
When clique go extra practice, we would be very serious, knowing what we want to achieve at the end of the practice session. For me, i feel that it is all about my confidence level. If my confidence is high, I believe i can play to the best of my ability, to express myself well. But otherwise, i dunno why i will do very badly at times, pressing the wrong notes and hard to getting back to the right notes, and also getting the wrong timing.
Because my part, bass 1, is to set the tempo and speed of the song play, it is crucial that i need to play well. So, when I go one note wrong, some of the team would like say me, why suddenly i wrong note etc. Yes, it is right in a sense, because firstly, this is a team performance. So, all have to coordinate together to play well. But, one thing is for sure, the chemistry in the team i thought is great as they would constantly encourage each other to try again.
My aim is now shifted towards success towards guitar. Last time, I thought tt soccer is my winning "talent". But now having guitar as my passion, I feel tt the chances of guitar success is more than compared to soccer.
I hope amanda and sylvia, my 2 best friends with Special Awards' performance experiences, they can guide me through to help me achieve my first "silverware" with AWWA...
