MUSIC AND NIGHT LIFE
I graduated college last March 2011. I was a working student for 3 years because I started to live by on my own when I turned 19. I have a regular job and I am with the same company for almost 3 years now. Staying up late at night is something that I love to do and I’m lucky my job requires me to work graveyard shifts. There’s less traffic and I can stay away from the scorching sun in this humid tropical country.
As a young adult I have a lot of dreams and I envision myself fulfilling them wen I reach my 30’s lol. The problem is I have too many lol. One of them is to be a professional singer. I have always thought that I could sing since I was probably 8 years old. The only songs I knew back then were the National anthem and a few Christmas carols. Unfortunately it stayed that way until the end of high school. I didn’t have enough confidence to develop that talent due to criticisms I received from some of my older relatives. They said I was out of tune, though I always knew they were wrong and they were the ones out of tune lol. My singing talent was first recognized when I auditioned for a Chinese singing contest at the University I was enrolled in. I was forced to audition together with 3 of my classmates because our foreign language teacher said we will get plus points in class. Knowing that I was failing that subject, I signed up and saw that there were already more than 200 students who auditioned before us. My classmates and I were confident that we have our additional grades knowing our names are on the list and then we sang infront of a judge. Since there were so many, we were sure that most of them were good and one of them will be chosen not us which was a good thing lol. After a week I received a text message saying that among the students who auditioned I was the one chosen to represent my college (wow). I lost the competition lol because I forgot the lyrics, but of course it was in Mandarin lol. Some of my school mates saw me and one of them was forming a band. That was the start of my band career and a life of music and challenge. I will take you to my fun life, working a regular job but still fulfilling my dream of spending everyday as fun as Sunday.
