Merry voyeurs of the Web...Take a dive into my realm... I will document the unimportant facets of my rather simple and boring life and let you in on some of my crappy amateur photography. So be wary, be gentle and be critical...Enjoy your stay...Watch out for the icebergs...


I am REAL... I was an ugly baby... I am a happy girl... I cry easily... I used to be called 'Skinny Twit'... I love children... I am self-entertaining... I dislike poseurs... I am a highly intellectual being... I am perpetually being misunderstood... I am extremely sentimental... I love durian... I have an insane memory for mundane things... I am menthol-intolerant... I like to scare myself... I believe I am allergic to cat's fur... I am weird and kan chiong... I appreciate my toes and fingers... I believe I was born stupid... I have Aunty-tendencies... I am lame... I have sensitive ears and a keen sense of smell... I bear grudges... I am a petty being... I am not a petite girl... I am Averil Chan... Don't get to know me... I will live till the age of 120....

超级星光大道3 Lion City Auditions!

Hello my fishy friends! I hope your Chinese New Year holiday was a fruitful! Mine was rather quiet, made a couple of house visits, played with a few animals, coaxed and cuddled a few little babies, chased and 'terrorized' a few kids and ate, ate and ate... =) I hope you all had a fruitful one... And to those who did not celebrate it, I trust you all had a well-deserved break...

The esscence and purpose of welcoming each Chinese New Year for me, has always been filling myself up sugar-high with happy thoughts... Of know my mobile would be swarmed with all kinds of adorable greetings, of knowing I have my lovely family with me, of knowing I can come home on the eve to tuck into a family reunion meal, of knowing I would be seeing at least 90% of my cousins and extended family, of knowing we would be celebrating my Amah's birthday on the 3rd day of the New Year, of knowing another another year has passed and of being able to toss Yu Sheng high high and everywhere!!!

Post Chinese New Year over the weekend, with the encouragement from my fellow Project Superstar 2 pals and good friends, I decided to take part in the auditions for the One Million Star Season 3 series. And boy, what an experience it turned out to be...

DAY 1 - 16 Feb 2008, Saturday, 2pm

At the open area outside Plaza Singapura at 2pm, what a windy day it was...

I got my ticket... Just 15 minutes before they closed registration...

The stage was set...

By the time it was my turn, and about 400 people later, it was almost 5pm. I sang Sun Yan Zi's "Wo Huai Nian De" and got rang out (the ding ding bell judging system) in 18 seconds into the chorus..Eeks... I have a super grainy video of me singing, which I could probably post up here when I find some courage to do so... Hee... And nobody could deny, that Singapore had plenty of talents to go around! There were countless of great vocalists, talented dancers and born performers, who strutted their stuff out over the 6 hours audition that saw even some contestants coming all the way from China, Malaysia and Indonesia. We even had our Malay friends taking part and a very talented 9 year old girl from the Kids Central One Minute Of Fame contest (who was pitch perfect)! =)

When the results were announced...

I ran to give Tricia and Peixian a big cuddle for we all got into the 2nd round!


2nd Day - 17 Feb 2007, Sunday, 12pm

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Kendric and lovely Angela,thank you for your constant encouragement...


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
And... THE JUDGES! Would also, find the courage to upload my 'funny' (as what Jeremy Kwan said) audition video when I can ya..Hee...


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Jittery Me on stage... Hur hur...


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
We screamed our lungs out when Sugianto and Lingyi blew the judges away with their performances and were awarded 2 out of the previously planned 5 golden tickets to Taiwan... I recall seeing 4 tickets on the table while I was auditioning and did my maths (5 - 2 = 3 + 4 = 7). 7 tickets!!! There were 2 more chances!


And so, a 3rd unprecedented round commenced... I think about 14 of us of the remaining group were called up... I was the very last girl, the "109" whom they forgot about at the last second...Eeeks... So we had to sing a short line of our most "na shou ge" and they'd judge us again... Campus Superstar's Zhiyang and Yvonne walked away with the another pair of Golden Tickets! =) And rest of us were invited to go to Taiwan in July for their PK rounds... Yippy!

While I snuck off to have my golden moment with the very nice Kelly Poon (who was there to support her friend from Project Superband's MANTOU) and winner of the Xing Guang Da Dao Season 2 winner Lai Ming Wei (one of the judges)...He has a rocking new single out on the airwaves,listen out for it ya!

ME! Post event - With a literally hanging man... Hmm...


To all those who did not get in, don't dispair or give up on your dreams ok! It is heartening to know that some of you have been working really hard to achieve them, and I wish sometimes, that I had that tenacity and drive that you all possess in pursuing what you all like as a young teen... You all have my every 100% inch,nook and cranny of support... JIA YOU OK! =)


More updates coming up! For now, take care my dear readers and have a great week ahead...

=(

My Toufu has been hospitalized for an infection...

I have been having sleepless nights since he got ill...

Nothing else matters more right now to me than for him to be well enough to come home in my arms...

I miss his smell... I miss his voice... I miss his affection... I miss him...

I just hope he will get well soon...

It is hard being away from someone you love and care for so much in your life...

It is very very hard...

That's really all that matters to me now...

I want my Toufu... =(
