Confident is good. And I'm glad I have this installed in me since I was as young age 6. I involved myself in a gymnastic sport when I was 7. Aha my body was too flexible, I mean who doesn't at the age of 7? LOL -,- I had several competitions, represent my state, Kedah, at that time. I won as the second place and I ran happily towards my mom and hugged her tightly in front of everybody. I even got a standing ovation when I was 7.
Everything went smoothly until my dad prevented me from entering the next competition that had been held at KL, that time. So no more gymnastic, no more competitions, no more practices. And I was only 9 at that time. Why? Because I will have to travel everywhere for the competitions and my dad just hated that. Even my mom will accompany me together with my coach, it's still useless. He just hated the fact that I must travel when I was still young and small. #ohmydad
And so, after a quite devastating moment in my life because I have to stop doing things I love unwillingly, I managed to overcome it. Then at the age of 10, I involved with singing pulak. God. I've been singing since I was 6 according to my mom, though I cannot really sing a proper song. Twinkle twinkle pun singing ah jugak en? LOL -,- I still remember my first time singing to a crowd, it was on the Teacher's Day during primary school. Ever since then, to be a singer has always be my one and only ambition. Until now.
At the age of 13, I chose dancing instead of singing because I wanted to do something that my mom did actively when she was a teenager. I performed for my school event, in front of thousands of people, together with a few old singers. I sang and danced together with one of my mom's idol just to make her proud of me. And I did it. She was proud. Totally. My mom was a dancer for her state, Kedah. Oh and my dad has a nice voice. He kinda proud with it, among his friends and us. So maybe you can guess where I got the blood from? LOL
When I was going through my teenage years, I've been in lots of singing competitions. I won some of them and I also lost some. But that doesn't stop me from singing. Though my parents aren't that supportive when I once confessed to them that I wanna be a singer and pursue my dreams as a singer, I still sing. Until now. I know what they were concerned about but singing is still my cup of tea other than English.
Alhamdulillah, I've been taught to always be confident in everything I do since I was small, without I even notice if I didn't look back at those memories right now. Wow. It feels incredibly great.
If you ask me, I don't even know where it comes from but every single time if I have to perform, to present myself, to volunteer, to respond, or to do anything which involves courage and confidence, I can simply do it. Credits to my mom and dad. And my childhood experiences.
One day, I will surely teach my own son and daughter what I've been taught.
