A Day @ Mediacorp

I had arranged for this day for a meeting with Ria 89.7 FM boss, Hassan Salleh. The purpose was the submission of my single "Taman Cinta" for airplay. My first time meeting Abg Hassan was thru my participation in Akademi Radio in March 2007 and subsequently met him again at my Expo performance in April 2007. Since then , I stayed in touch with him and he had been kind enough to accord words of encouragement and support to me. So I was kind of relishing the meeting and probably having casual talk with the man. My meeting was scheduled at 4pm. Picked up my copies of CDs printed at Bt Merah and I kinda liked the final product. From Bt Merah to Mediacorp, I was experiencing mixed feelings. Was actually thinking how the guys @ Ria & Warna would perceive my product. Hoping for the best!! Upon my arrival @ Mediacorp, I immediately proceeded to Ria's office. A warm welcome from Hassan Salleh and the DJs at the office namely KC, Nity and Brader Bo, I then dished out my CDs personally to the guys. Then Abg Hassan, Brader Bo and myself converse on the subject of my upcoming plans and album. When Abg Hassan popped the CD into his player, I must say I was scared as hell. As much as I am proud of my product, I was expecting the worst possible scenario. But after playing the CD, I guess they were OK with it. After passing my CDs to some DJs at Warna, I then took my leave. On my way home, I kind of reflected on my paths and choices I have taken to that present moment. I'm still pinching myself because as much as I believed in myself, I could never believe it that I'm actually sending my songs for airplay on radio. What was once just a far-fetched dream was slowly manifesting in real-time. I felt really blessed to be able to do what I'm doing! Alhamdullillah
