WATCHING A MUSIC CONCERT AT RTM AUDITORIUM

14TH FEBRUARY 2024 ~ Mr. Muhammad Ariff Mohd. Nizam [an ex-student of SMK Taman Universiti] offered me to watch a concert at RTM Auditorium and of course I agreed. The concert was held in conjunction with 40th World Radio Day.

There were a list of singers of all ages and music genres performing, a few I knew and a few others I did not.

My choice of the best performer of the night was Tam Spider. He could sing and entertain people with his amazing vocal effortlessly.

The diva of the show was Aina Abdul. She had great vocal no doubt but her song and performance was not my cup of tea. I wished she did not have to flaunt all the high pitches in the songs she sang. Or perhaps she should try and sing something more pleasant to the ears without the notes that go high to the sky.

Another star of the night was Sufian Suhaimi a.k.a Baby Pian. Unfortunately, he did not shine that night and I don't think he had performed his best for his fans. In fact I enjoyed other singers more, like Jefridin, Akim and Ani Mayuni.

Here is the recording of the concert for you to enjoy on Youtube.

All in all, it was a great live show and I enjoyed myself tremendously. I got to thank Mr. Ariff for asking me to watch the concert with him and his other friends.

WATCHING THE FINALS OF THE NATIONAL LEVEL SCHOOL COMBO COMPETITION 2018

28th SEPTEMBER 2018 ~ I went to watch the Finals of the National Level School Combo Competition held at RTM Auditorium in Johor Bahru. I got to know about this event when an old friend from college informed me and her daughter was also taking part.

Five states were chosen to compete in the final round: Sabah, Melaka, Perlis, Johor and Sarawak. These students were all good and they were like professional musicians already. I was truly impressed with their talent and skills playing music.

The auditorium was packed with audience and some had even to stand behind the back row or sit on the stairs.

Melaka emerged the champion and they deserved it. I had recorded some of their performances during the competition and will have to upload the videos on my Youtube channel later.

A capella singers in action

The two performances staged while waiting for the result to be announced were also very entertaining. The first one was an a capella group comprising of secondary school students of various schools from Pasir Gudang district, and the second one a dance number by primary school children of SK Permas Jaya 1. It was worth the time I spent there for the evening.

Congratulations to all the participants, and performers as well and I am sure you have already seen the possible options you should be taking in the future by now.
