AMAZING AUGUST

8th August - Rentak Singapura My very 1st time performing in a very much publicised event organised by radio stations RIA and WARNA and supported by Perkamus. Rentak Singapura was held for the 2nd year running and held at the TRCC Centre, Republic Polytechnic tis time around. I did dream on performing in nights like this when I first started my music adventure. So i did hope to be included in this year's edition. Imagine my excitement when i was contacted by the show's producer, Nity Baizura, if I'm interested to be part of the event. Gosh...of cos i'm interested...couldn't contain my excitement..nak step cool pun tak boleh.....hahaha..... There i was on that historic day personally.....realising that i'll be performing alongside the hottest names in Singapore Malay music industry:- TheSallys, Salma, Nana, Merah, Sleeq, Didicazli, Hady Mirza and Taufik Batisah. Performing to a 1000+ strong crowd, it was surely a night to remember :) Zoom to my performance - Backed by my musician brothers: Amin & Kheir (guitars), Sam Hardy (bass), Nizamulmuluk (keyboards) and Shahril X-Tech (drums) - I performed 'Lelaki Baru' and 'Ejen Cinta' in a medley, as I was given only 6 mins for my performance due to time constraint. Alhamdulillah....thanks to the guys for helping me arrange. Yup, it would be my most exciting 6 mins on stage......i felt so honoured on stage with the screams and applause from the audience.....the guys with me on stage must have felt the energy too....i gave everything i had on stage tat day! Something funny happened during my performance...usuallly i would bring a bottle of water with me on stage to help me hydrate in betwwen songs...while performing 'Ejen Cinta'.....i felt my throat running dry......wow, it was a nightmare singing with a dry mouth and throat.....the best part was i couldn't find my water bottle on stage......hahaha..... Alhamdulillah, i did give my all and i did felt that the crowd enjoyed my performance and to me, that's the most important thing!! The highlight of Rentak Singapura must surely be the finale and i'm sure most ppl who came would agree. Again i must stress that I felt so honoured to be performing alongside Fadly X-Tech, Taufik and Hady......not forgetting the awesome Projek Band :) I've exhausted all superlatives to describe my experience performing in Rentak Singapura.....once again I would like to thank everyone who made my experience possible.....special thanks too to my family, friends and supporters; my manager, Azizah Zakaria and my stylist, Azni Samdin....Love u all!! Wait....one more superlative..... BAIK SKALI!!!
