Sang Singa Melaung / 8:11 PM

Okay, I've just reached home from MLS camp and I feel tired but I'm going out to lepak in awhile. I think I'm gonna miss those SSP kids and some of those MLS kids whom I know and are friends with. Although I always meet the SSP kids for training, I kinda like this better because we get to spend more time together, even sleep together. Ouh and the 2nd night was the Nusa Satria performance by us Cubs of Sang Singa Purba.

So after about a month of training, we pulled off the performance for the MLS Freshmen Orientation Camp. There were some mistakes on my part and I know my voice can be louder and stronger than that (it was wayyy better on sunday night/monday morning when we rehearsed) and I my nervousness got the better of me thus I forgot my lyrics. But truthfully, I am really proud to be part of this production and I'm really happy we had this opportunity because it brought us closer. I dare say that I'm going to miss Nusa trainings, with the constant singing sessions to train our voices, critics, stress, anxiety, anger, sadness, happyness and the word 'kedondong' (Cubs nye word uh skarang. haha!). The best thing was receiving comments from people that we were good, that the characters on that parquet flooring seemed realistic and that they think our standard is 'way up there'. When I heard Halim (a camper) say that, honestly my heart felt like it was glowing. I'm gonna miss Nusa Satria trainings and I really thank everyone for helping me pull off Sang Nila Utama, both the Cubs and the Seniors.

Ouh and Wan K, if you happen to read this, I hope you're not blaming yourself for losing your voice. Don't worry, the production wasn't a failure and it's already takdir for that to happen on the day itself. I really thank you because you pushed me to be a better actor and singer and you didn't give up on me.
