Disini ku ditengah keramaian
Dalam ruang dengan cahaya yang remang
Udara dipenuhi asap tembakau
Bising mereka tetap membuatku sepi

Pejamkan mata terasa semakin perih
Tak sanggup tuk diluapkan
Berbagi pada mereka yang tak mengerti
Lebih baik tidak sama sekali

KARAOKE

A lot of my friends say they feel embarrassed when they sing in front of people, but i don’t think it’s embarrassed at all. People are so worried about what other people think that they can’t have fun any more. I think it’s crazy. When i get up on stage, i just forget what people think of me.

Last year i entered a karaoke competition in my home town, Wicklow, and i won place in the national championship. I was so excited! I went up to Dublin with all my friends and family, it was fantastic. There were some brilliant singers there from all over the country and i didn’t think i had a chance, but in the end i won second place. Was i embarrassed? No, i wasn’t!!!

Commentary :

Singing is a hobby that is favored by the good people from children to adults. Basically everyone can sing, but only some people are making a serious hobby and lived in earnest. As vocal lessons, music lessons and so forth. And people others make singing just as eliminate boredom and to have fun with friends and friends at a karaoke. Shanla Brady seems like he's been singing since childhood hobby and often follow competitions singing competition, so he does not feel embarrassed anymore when singing in front of people. When he is on stage he is only concentrating on the songs which he would bring order to provide a perfect appearance for the audience. In every competition certainly did meet with opponents nicer than our own ability, but we should not lose heart and always be sure of capabilities. Especially when we are competing accompanied by those closest to us, it will be the strength and encouragement for ourselves. When you compete, do your best and do not forget to pray, and believe that we can, about win or lose it's a problem later because the effort would never betray results. If we seek earnestly meal will bear a satisfactory result, but if we lose then that means we should be more serious again. Make competition as lessons and experiences that will build us into a better self again.
