Today is the CENTERSTAGE FINALS 2009! -cheeeeerrrr!-
Melody came to school to help Daryl with her make-up and hair, and I joined them after dance. Daryl looked so gorgeous and Chuanhui was so attracted to her, hahahaha!

Fanghua, Melanie and Gerome got there early and ended up being the first in queue so thanks a lot guys! We got really good seats- 3rd row in the middle. Yeaaaaaa.

Anyway main point is, CENTERSTAGE FINALS 2009! was really awesome and a total blast! The finalists were all superb and you can never imagine how much talent DHS has until you watch them! My personal favourites were DARYL TAN FEIXUAN!!, Evangelyn Stephen (she sang my favourite song!), Jinhuang, Justus and (XQ)^2. Not that I didnt enjoy the rest. I thoroughly enjoyed every single part of the finals yeaaaa.

Daryl's song was the first item. We were screaming like crazy and ignored the numerous stares uhhheemm. Daryl was so awesome and I was so proud of her. Just think about how interesting the whole Centerstage journey with Daryl was.

I remember the very very first time when she msn-ed me and told me that she'll sing Bubbly to us the next day and wanted us to comment on it.

The next moment, she called all 5 of us out of class to tell us that she was gonna take part in Centerstage. We all thought it was a brilliant idea since she sings so well and we gave her our fullest support.

And then the auditions- she got through it and we were all so excited for her.

Next up was the photoshoot which I accompanied Daryl to, and I remember how Linda kept asking Daryl to wear her own clothes instead of school uniform but Daryl kept insisting, haha!

And then it was the guitar issue. The first problem was that she needed a guitar because initially she thought of playing it herself. So we got Kiatshing's guitar and he taught her. But later on she couldnt learn it due to time constraints and we started hunting for a guitarist instead. It was Kiatshing at first but again there were some problems and so Daryl decided to settle on the CD's instrumental, which after the rehearsal she realised didnt suit her. She prayed and prayed and finally God sent her Joseph who plays the guitar really well. I was so darn happy for her.

Lastly it was the making-up and hair doing part. I asked Melody and she happened to be free so there, another God-sent to Daryl.

It wasnt an easy one, as you can see. But I dont mind at all doing it for Daryl because she's been so nice (though a li'l irritating at times). I totally loved her performance, her singing, the comment that Ms Kal Chan gave on her, everything. She was just so fabulous, you should have seen her.

And so our dearest Daryl Tan Feixuan got the 3rd prize. I admit here may be some disappointment that she didnt get the first prize although she was really really really good, but hey, it's good enough that out of so many people, she got through the auditions and made it into the finals. So YAYYYY Daryl. I love you soooo much and you were such a star last night! ;)
