Jangan Berhenti Mencintai Ku (Don’t Stop Loving Me) by an Indonesian singer, Titi DJ is my favourite song. I don’t know why that song put tears in my eyes… the first few lyric… “Jangan berhenti mencintaiku, Meski mentari berhenti bersinar, Jangan berubah sedikit pun, Di dalam Cintamu Kutemukan Bahagia…” I’ll try translate it, hope I get it right... well it means something like this… “Please don’t stop loving me, even when the sun no longer shine, please don’t ever change, in your love I find happiness”. Isn’t it lovely?...
I enjoy music. In fact, I love to sing. My first experience singing on stage was in form 6 (back in 1989?). I sang a song called ‘Kau Merubah Segalanya’, by a Malaysian singer, Fauziah Latif. But my most memorable experience on stage, I would say, would be the one when I sang with the Malaysian Diva, Siti Nurhaliza (now Datuk Siti Nurhaliza), at Jerudong Park Amphitheatre. It’s really a wonderful memory…It’s not that I’m a professional singer or whatsoever, if that’s what you all think, I just happened to be challanged by my sisters and cousins to go on stage when Datuk Siti invited the audience to sing with her on stage.
Well, I’ve appeared in several programme on our local tv few years ago, ‘Dian Hijrah’, ‘Isra’ Mikraj’ & others. I joined quite a few singing competition, live on tv, during national or royal celebrations and others. It’s really fun. My last appearance on stage was last December when I joined the Brumanch Talentime in Manchester(in traditional category). One of the girls asked me, how do you feel when you’re on stage? Don’t you have stage fright? I said, yes, I do but only for the first few minutes. Then I start enjoying it and present the best that I could… eventhough sometimes… it’s not really good… ha…
I do agree though that public appearance is not really everyone’s favourite thing to do. It’s not a born-with talent, you have to learn and practice it. That’s why I and my family, (we have a committee member called Usratu As-Saidah which means happy family), like to organise a family show or celebration, so that all the children can show their talent, singing, dancing on stage. We even have organised an ‘Akademi Fantasia/American Idol’-type of show where 12 children sing and act like their idol. It’s fun to watch their video…I think the youngest participant was actually less than 5 years old at that time.
So those out there who have problems with public appearance, just keep on rehearsing and practicing… practice makes perfect…you’ll never know unless you try.
