A new performing experience I learnt from this is that prior to one's performance, one should make sure that everything one needs is fully prepared. Since I was the only one to both sing and play the guitar, my performance needed a clip on microphone, and my assumption was that the organizers had had it prepared; well they hadn't. I should've checked with them before, but I hesitated, hence not delivering the best quality I could've. Also, another setback of mine I need to try to fix is that I tend to get quite nervous whenever I feel that the audience is not responsive to my performance: I usually speed up so that I wouldn't bore them, which is never a good habit. Next time I ever perform again, I'll keep a mental note not to go mental :)

YOLA Competition
SO I decided to join a talent show held by YOLA language institute, Vietnam. The theme of the show was Dreams, and the 3 winners from this show would have a chance to perform on a big national stage in front of thousands of people.
I did a solo remix of "Hall of fame" and "Be what you wanna be", and my guitar skills were put to good use :) I wasn't one of the winners, sadly, but it was such a great experience being in a singing contest, and I did make a lot of new friends from the event!
