This is the first time ever I got into a fabulous camp from hitz.fm. I never thought that I could get into the coolest camp ever. My friends didn’t really believe it and my parent did not either. They all say it might be a prank call or something. Haha…but of course some of my friends believe it. I was worried a little bit actually because as the time passes and the camp is getting nearer but the letter didn’t come until the last week. Phew….I thought my dream never come true but of course in the end the letter came. My housemate came into my room and passed the letter to me. Wow…I love the ticket. The ticket was a very rockin’ ticket. I’m really proud to have it because it is not really easy to get it because they only want 50 potential participants. I really thank God for everything that he had done for me.
Disney's letter.
The Ticket to Rock. Love it.
So,on 18 of October, my sister fetch me at about 7.30am from my apartment and we stop by at McDonalds for breakfast because we were a bit too early. You know what? My sister and I couldn’t find the way to the North entrance of the ASTRO office. I began to panicked because I’m afraid to lose my chance so I prayed in my heart that the Lord will lead the way and God answered my prayer again. I registered myself in Malaysian Camp Rock with Mr. Albert ticking my name and so do Mr. Adrian collecting my Parental & Xavier Form and the Ticket to Rock. Actually, before I got into the ASTRO office the first friend I met is Puteri which is older than me two years. We just greet each other but didn’t talk as much. When I got in, got my breakfast and stood beside a sweet girl considered my second friend with her mother waiting to get into our bus to KLPAC. Her name was Cydney. We chatted and chatted. Then, her mother had to go and so we went into the waiting place and sat on the chair. Okay, now there is another girl oh-no I forgot her name. Sorry, sometimes I do have a bad memory. Haha…I chatted with her until I didn’t hear that I was supposed to go into the bus with the online bus. See…once I got excited I’m in my own world. Just like music once I’m listening to music I’ll be into the music and feel myself in the song. That’s me. Haha…
Well, when I got into the bus I sat alone and then I met another friend again…haha…she is also a sweet girl named Azliyana. We started talking about ourselves to each other and we totally became fast friends. We are talking as if we are like a long lost friend that have never seen each other for years. Haha…then Esther the host of the bus she tell brief us everything about the camp. She asked us to fill up the form and asked us to tick which class we want to attend. Of course, everyone ticked everything, we want to learn everything. After passing up the form, she gave us a game to play by using the letters of the words of the letter CAMP. So we have to think of four words. For example, Cat Attacks My Pig that was Ian’s sentence. Haha…he is a funny guy and the most popular person in Camp Rock. I helped Linda Jasmine’s son named Qalif so I just made up a stupid sentence which is Crab At My Place which was that doesn’t exist. So, I won a Disney CD cover.
We finally reached to our dream place which is KLPAC where all the classes are. Haha…we are totally excited to go into the place but I need to go to another room first before going into the room of where the classes are. I went into the room and sat down beside three new friends. Haha…their names were Amanda, Keshika and Yang Jiew. We were all very nervous because we are the first to meet the songwriters which were Pop Shuvit and also Audi Mok and Nor Fatimah. Not only that, we were nervous that we need to perform our composed song which we are the only ones that send it in our lyrics of the song. Before Camp Rock, I received a called from Disney and they asked me to perform on that day. My mouth hung opened when they asked me. I told them I haven’t get the chords and I don’t know how to write the notes. Haha...but anyways I managed to figured it out by using my hearing after my test on Wednesday. Then, I started practicing it until the day comes. Okay, back to Camp Rock, all of them interviewed us like asking us why do we like song writing . I was nervous so I just simply say out an answer which is like because I like to music. Uno says that it is not the thing. Then, I calmed myself down and gave him a reasonable answer. I told him that I like song writing is because I want to write my feelings out for people to know. To be honest, Uno don’t know how to read notes but how they can write the song so meaningful and nice. Well, it’s a gift I guess. Haha….Audi read my lyrics of the song and he liked it because it is original. Yang Jiew’s one the lyrics is very nice and so do Amanda’s and Keshika.
Before, going into the first class, we put ourselves who is going to perform first. All of us couldn’t decide. So I suggested that we just go according to our intials. So, Amanda was first , then I go second, Keshika the third and then Yang Jiew. Ean and Natalie was the host throughout the whole camp. Ean was a really funny guy and Natalie is also a funny girl. They were the DJ’s of hitz.fm. Then, everything started, JD and Uno the Pop Shuvit came into the class to talked a little bit about themselves and tell us about how do we write a great song. And then suddenly Natalie and Ean asked them to write a song about Breakfast. JD just took out the guitar and played a tune and he started singing along with Uno. Wow…they are really talented. I really envy them and I wish I could write like them. Afterthat, we have Audi Mok and Nor Fatimah talking about themselves and then tell us on something related to song writing then the time comes and four of us have to perform. Amanda went up on stage and before she performed Natalie asked her a few question and then she started to sing with her music that she burn it into the CD. Wow…she totally rocked although she was very nervous. The judges commented on her song and they say it was not bad.
Well, my turn was next I was very nervous and Natalie asked me a few question like what was the title of the song. I told her it was ‘I love you’. And then she asked me is there whom I love in college or something. I was silent a little bit. Then, she doesn’t want to force me to say it. So I walked towards the keyboard and then put my lyrics on the stand but the keyboard seems to be not the piano sound so UNO tried to help but he doesn’t know how to used it so JD tried to helped too so while they were fixing it Natalie pulled me and asked who do I really love my mom, dad, a boy or something? I told her straight away it was my mum and dad. Haha…and then behind that I told her that I secretly like somebody from college too but I didn’t tell her his name because it is a secret. Haha…then I perform the song and then I made a little mistake due to my lack of practice. After finishing the song, the judges commented on my song. JD said that it was well structured and it was a sweet song and so do the other judges, well actually I forgot what they said but it really made me happy. It helps and it makes me want to write more songs.
Then, it was Keshika’s turn. She was very nervous too because she is singing without music because she don’t really know how to play the song and she has a band to play for her but she never get to bring them. Haha…anyways, she did a great job and love her voice. She received good comments too. JD even gave her his card and asked her to call them so that they can do a demo CD with her and her band while me Audi Mok asked me to send him the recorded song to him. Well, I didn’t know that Audi Mok would like my song because I’ve always think my song is not nice but I don’t know my friends like it too. Seriously, it’s like a dream come true. I don’t know whether Amanda and Yang Jiew have anything but I hope they have it too because they are good composers too.
I liked Yang Jiew’s composed song. His song is like it can be a theme song of a drama. The words were very meaningful too but he was really nervous so he played a lot of wrong notes but the song is really nice and sweet too. I wish that I could composed like him. Nor Fatimah likes his song too. He did a great job. We all gave him a thumbs up to encourage him and told him that it’s okay to be nervous because all of us are totally nervous.
After the performance, we each had a gift which is a Mickey Mouse earphone. I didn’t expect that I would get a gift too because I thought we only perform. We were all very happy. We took pictures with our prizes along with Ean and Natalie. There was a short break before going to next class which is Singing 101 Voice Showcase. We got JD, Uno and Audi Mok’s signature with nice words and also took pictures with them too.
The 4 composers and song writers.
JD and I
Uno and I
Well, the next one was Singing 101 where we can learn how to sing in a proper way. Suki came into the room and talked a few minutes and she performed the Disney Camp Rock’s This is Me in Malay which was ‘Siapa Ku’ and also her new debut song ‘Usah’. Then, our vocal teacher named Maziah came in and teach us the techniques’ on how to sing. She asked us to put our fingers on our part which is the diaphragm and tried to breathe in the air and make our mouth vibrate haha…I dunno how to say that so I just used mouth vibration. I can do the mouth vibration but not the tongue vibration. Haha…it was really funny to learn this things but it is part of singing. We really have fun doing it anyway although it is a little bit dizzy because the air came into my head so that it is the correct way to sing. Then we have a competition of singing the song “This is Me” by Demi Lovato. I teamed up with Azliyana while Amanda, Keshika and Yang Jiew teamed up together. Yuzhen, i think I dunno how to spell his name teamed up with Raja which is totally cool Yuszen can really do the beatbox. It was super cool. I thought they would had win the first but I didn’t believe that Azliyana and I won it. Azliyana also was shocked. We won a Mickey Mouse Webcam. We were so happy and we hugged each other.
It was lunch time and Ian, Amanda, Keshika, Azliyana, Yang Jiew and I were so crazy we went up stage and took a crazy picture. Yang Jiew and I did the Demi Lovato posed while the others just do their favourite pose. Afterthat, we went down for our lunch and guess what I just managed to get three strands of spaghetti and my friends were looking at me. I said “What? I know that I only have three strands of spaghetti. It was finished so it’s okay.” Then, Ian took out his guitar and started playing and singing a song. Then, the girls from another table came over and took picture with him. Haha…Ian the popular guy loved by the girls because of his sense of humour. Well, I just admire him that’s all.
Next, it was Showmanship 101 which Moots came into the class to tell us what are things that we can’t do when we are on stage while Ean do the demo to show us what which we are not supposed to do. Then, afterthat Linda Jasmine taught us how to look good on stage ,if we done some mistake on stage don’t ever stop,go on. After teaching us, we are teamed up again to have a competition to dance along with the song “We Rock”. Well, the songwriters were teamed up together again. Haha…it is Keshika, Amanda, Yang Jiew and me. I seriously don’t know what to do on stage so I just simply dance when the part Mitchie and Shane sang, Yang Jiew just figure out something and just called me by using his finger and I just followed him. Although we didn’t win but we totally enjoyed it. The winners that I know is Ian, Qalif and Cydney for showmanship.
Now, coming to the last class which is Dancing 101. We met Alam and he told us about himself. He learned dancing because he saw someone during football flipped a stunt which was really cool afterthat he started learning and getting the hang of it. He learned breakdance too. He dance along the song “Hasta La Vista”. He is totally amazing. Then, Linda Jasmine taught us how to dance to the tune “Hasta La Vista” the first time I met Linda Jasmine was in Akademi Fantasia. She was a great dancer and so do coaching. Anyway, to be honest dancing is not my specialty which I can’t really get the moves. And as usual, there is a competition again this time is Dancing along with the song “Hasta La Vista” with the steps that Linda Jasmine taught. Although, my group didn’t win but one of our team members won which is Jessica. She is really good. She won the “Original Soundtrack of Camp Rock.” It was great.
Well, the camp is coming to an end. I will totally miss this awesome camp. I will miss Ean, Natalie and my new friends in camp such as Jessica, Azliyana, Keshika, Ian, Amanda, Yang Jiew, Raja, Yuszen, Ravyna, Maneesha and many more. We took lots of picture and then we have our tea. After tea, we head back to our bus and they on the Camp Rock song again but we told them that we don’t want to listen it anymore we have enough for a day, we asked them to change it to hitz.fm which is our favourite radio station. Mr. Albert suggested we play a game which is “Guess the Disney Song” he is going to read the lyrics of the song and we guess it. The person that guess it right have to sing the part of the song and he/she will win a prize. The first song that he asked I managed to answer it was “This Is Me” and he asked me to sing it. After singing it, he said that he going to get goosebumps. Haha…he is a very funny guy too. Anyways, afterthat the next song Azliyana managed to answer which is the song “We Rock” . Then, afterthat Maneesha answered the next song which is “You are The Music In Me”and then Jessica managed to answer the song too which is “Colours of the Wind”
Because we are too smart, Mr. Albert asked us a more difficult question which was “What was the ordering of the songs of the Disney’s Original Soundtrack Camp Rock?” Yuzhen wanted to answered it but didn’t managed to answer it. Poor guy. Then one of the girls who was sitting in front got it. Then, he asked another question which was asking about the chorus of the song and sing it “Siapa ku” by Suki. I sang out the chorus part and I won a Disney pencil box. I’m so happy. We finally reached the ASTRO office and then we took our last picture with Mr. Albert.
Sry I will upload the photos as soon as possible. And continue to write more.
