《爱。成长》首映礼（9/9/17)

   昨天我在正在整理电邮的时候，我看到辣手网寄过来的信箱。打开一看，我赢得了《爱。成长》首映礼的门票！下午三时三十八分就寄过来了，过于忙大学功课的我差点忘了自己有参加有奖答游戏的比赛。

  我们送妹妹去舞蹈课后，就前往去Pavilion KL。一路上，我哼唱《青春的印记》—— 《爱。成长》的插曲。爸爸放下我和妈妈后，我们到询问处如何要去Golden Screen Cinema。服务员说：“走向你的左手边就是最附近的的电梯了。” 我们乘坐到五楼，拐一个弯就看到《爱。成长》的宣传海报。

  到柜台处，工作人员问：“你是属于谁的歌迷？” 我说：“Nick龚建华。” 他们在名单找了几遍，似乎我的名字不再里面。幸好我有印出了比赛的证件，他们看了就说：“这是辣手网的。请您稍等。” 不久后，工作人员在证件上再三确认才让我和妈妈进场。我正在等妈妈的时候，不时往楼上看，Winson林胡昇在阳台。他向我挥挥手。

  我从洗手间出来，只见Winson和慧瑜和几个人聊天。我走上前向他们正式的自我介绍：“你们好！我是陈袈文来自马六甲。” 我和他们合照，还跟Winson自拍。之后Winson说：“待会里面见吧！” 我说：“好啊！” 再到回戏院就座。

  由于一些技术问题，微电影无法按照时间播放。但为了“安抚” 在场的观众，他们播放《爱。成长》的原声带。演员们和观众见面，他们也解释在微电影里饰演的角色。微电影播出之前，来个大合照吧！我转过身子的时候，竟然遇到四年没见到的洁莹姐和界辉哥也有出席！Jordan哥也不例外！

   令我伤心的一幕是华仔（Nick龚建华 饰演）因病情严重得在医院的加护病房观察，状况不是很乐观。在一旁李家的龙凤胎—— 李筱明和李筱宁（何若瑄 饰演），在病床旁告诉华仔他一定会康复的。我差点流下了眼泪！电影的最后一幕是华仔的手动，似乎从昏迷从清醒过来。电影播完还有幕后花絮。我离开之前，Newman蔡长葆和几位粉丝在说话但我却被妈妈拉走，她说：“你在外面可以和他们拍照啦！” 

   我踏出戏院的时候，第一位见到的是Newman，“你好！” 我说。他说：“谢谢你来捧场哦！” 我只是傻笑说：“不客气！” 不远处看到Nick, “Nick哥！” 他看到我，说：“Katelyn，谢谢你过来！” Nick、Newman和我拍了一张照，我 “调皮” 接过Nick手中接过了花束。也有和Nick自拍。我走之前，给他一个温馨的拥抱。“我们明天见哦！” 他说。我说：“好啊！” 

  我在中学是一个怎样的学生呢？不是学霸，也不是校花。我只不过是你的 average high school girl，但我是留下深刻印象的学生—— 这是我留下中学的青春印记。无法出席首映礼的朋可以到YouTube收看哦！让我们重温中学青春的印记吧！

2016年Astro新秀大赛: 参赛攻列音乐分享会(6/7/16)

  Astro 《新秀大赛》2016 参赛功略音乐分享会在KLCC Level 3 Plenary Theatre举行。本节目是为了寻找第二十届新秀冠军。爱歌唱的我当然不会错过这天大的机会！早上十一时，我乘德士到吉隆坡双峰塔。当地举行第十一届海内外书展。大约早上十一时我们抵达现场，外婆发现场外有很多身白青衣的学生说：“这么怎么会那么多学生？” 我说我不知道。我从小楼梯走下，再走向电梯乘上三楼。

  到了三楼，我看到Astro星势力的主办单位在忙着派入门券，我前几个星期已经在应用程式报名所以直接告诉我的名字就可以了。本来我想拿纸出来给他们看，但他们却说：“小姐，说您的名字就行了！” 我说我的名字，在名单的的第三十一位。写好名字后，一位姐姐就把入门券的边缘撕掉再把它们交给我。“好谢谢你们！” 姐姐就告诉我们：“不能拿水和饮料及食物进现场。” 我只好把水瓶交给妈妈。

  不久在场外，诗凌姐、淞凤姐以及慧萍姐的粉丝在排长龙。外婆向主办单位说我的行动不便，是否能够让我进场先再来找一个好位子。我听到外婆说：“最重要她是要看偶像。” 姐姐们不禁笑了起来，外婆还说：“有几个新秀在新年的时候和她见过面。去年，就让她到后台和她拍照。” Grace姐说：“原来如此！” 下午一时正，门打开，主办单位让我和外婆进场。“真的要麻烦你们，很抱歉！” 我说。姐姐们说：“没关系！” 我是本来坐在左手边，然后其中一位说：“不如你来坐右手边吧！” 她牵我的到右手边的座位。

  台上我看到一个熟悉的身影，应该是健华哥哥吧！后台很暗，他看不到我。等所有的观众入席后，场内开始暗下来就开始播放新秀们的作品、比赛画面和成就。洁钰姐和慧茵姐出场向大家问好。“相信在场的朋友有看《新秀大赛》或此节目陪着他们长大。” 这一句让我想起在我中三的时候，三舅拨电话来说现在在播放《新秀大赛》。当时的节目，年龄八至十三岁的学生和参赛们PK。我心里有一个念头就是参加《新秀大赛》！

  慧茵姐提着手上的环保代问：“谁今年即将参加今届的新秀？” 我二话不说马上举手，她走来我的座位，“你叫什么名字？” 她用广东话和我交流，而我用广东话说：“陈袈文。” 问我是不是很喜欢看新秀，我说是。慧茵问我：“你最喜欢的新秀冠军是谁？” 我说：“Nicole赖淞凤！” 淞凤姐的粉丝们尖叫。第一批的新秀—— Ron彭世豪、Jordan盛天俊、Amy文小菲及Elaine李宜玲等人为大家献上新秀的主题曲——《宇宙最强》。接着，新秀们一个个出来献唱他们的歌。后来，网路红人—— Danny许佳麟为大家唱一首《有多久》—— 它是今年的双亲节主题曲。

  Danny、Geraldine和Nicole示范甄选网络试音。最后全体新秀在台上送上《BFF》这首歌。《BFF》是我踏入青少年的第一首新秀的歌。他们走下台和观众朋友互动。宜玲姐他们走到我的座位时，我马上给她一个大拥抱。Jordan哥和Ron哥也是一样给大拥抱，Jordan哥说：“袈文，好久不见！” 宜玲姐要走回舞台时，我再给一个紧紧的拥抱。分享会结束后，新秀们纷纷回到后台，我想见他们一面但是希望落空。期中一位主办单位说：“你不能看他们全部，你只能选两位新秀。” 

  两位新秀而已？“Elaine姐和Ron哥，再多一个Nicole姐。” 他们三人走出来时，Ron哥第一个说：“嗨，袈文！好久不见，你还好吗？从新年到现在。” 他给我一个温暖的拥抱。“很好啊！” 我说。外婆对他们说：“袈文很想念你们！” 我唱一小段得《约定》给Elaine姐听还有《我值得快乐》给Nicole；再加上《BFF》。“哇，袈文，看来你有很多歌可以选在试音哦！” Ron哥说。和他们自拍后，我们离开现场。书展的主办单位说：“你的歌声很好听！” 我腼腆一笑。我向所有的星势力说一声“谢谢” 。

  我很感谢我的外婆再次带我看新秀。

MUFY Talent Quest 2015 (2/10/15)

  I haven't been on stage for a year since I last performed back in secondary school when I was completing my senior year. Today MUFY held its very own annual talent quest. We called it MUFY Talent Quest. Before you entered the competition, you have to go through an audition just like any singing competition which we watch on television. The audition was 10 days ago and the results was announced a week before the competition.

 Little did I know, I got in! I was so happy! I didn't expect to be in the competition, my aim is just to have fun and be in the spotlight once again. Well there was another surprise. My senior, Marverne got in as well! He didn't get through at first but he was told at the last minute, I was happy for him too. Our first performance as senior-junior, what's more, we were both singing solo! Well I picked If Someday by Malaysia's Queen of Love Songs- Fish Leong. While Marverne on the other hand sang Feeling Good and I've Got the World On a String by Michael Buble. 

  Before the show started, we had a rehearsal just to make sure everything was in tip-top shape. All performers were getting a run through. At 2 pm, everyone started to fill the hall in while performers were seated in front. The emcees introduced the first performer who is a boy band called the SPLURS. They sang a song by Dani California. The second performer sang a Mandarin song. Well, I guess I wasn't the only one who is singing Mandarin song. We even had a silent comedy which was performed by Aaron and Jason Lum (AJ) 

  Before it was my turn, I asked Marverne to record a video of my performance so I can show it to my mum. "Yeah, okay! I can do that," he said. After Marverne's and Ah Ri's turn, it was my turn to perform but I went to the washroom at that time which left the audience in a awkward situation. 

  Quickly, I headed back to the stage. To make it up to the audience, I sang a short verse of Fish Leong's latest single. Then came the main part of the performance. After I sang If Someday, I sang short verse of J'adore. After my performance, the audience wanted more but the emcee said "Sorry, we're running out of time! Thank you Kar Marn for that amazing performance. Let's give her around of applause!" 

  The crowd cheered and clapped as I left the stage. I went over to hug my seniors and they were proud. "You did great Kar Marn!" my seniors said as I headed back to my seat. "Hey Marv, did you record the performance?" I asked. "Sorry Kar Marn, I forgot to record because I was too starstruck and amazed by your performance. Anyway, I'm so proud of you!" Marverne said. Tori chimed in "Yeah girl, you did a job well done! You made us proud!" She gave me a squeeze on the shoulder.  

 
  After the last performance which Darren and Tori performed Toxic by Britney Spears, a special performance was arranged. A lecturer showed her hidden talent! Well, even lecturers have their specialties besides teaching. After that, Mr. Prakesh- Malaysia's famous photographer, Youtuber and comedian came up to the stage to receive a token of appreciation from Ms. Helen James. He praised all performers for a job well done. "I would like to give a shout out to Kar Marn. The crowd cheered as they heard my name. "You really inspired all of us today. I sent a video of your performance to my girlfriend," Mr. Prakesh said. 

  The crowd cheered even louder while Tori gave me a proud squeeze on the shoulder as Darren and Marverne as well as Amber proudly look on their junior. Mr. Prakesh made a joke on the three language songs. It was time for the prize giving ceremony. One by one, the finalists went up to the stage. As the emcee announced my name, I proudly walk over to the stage and stood next to Marverne. He leaned over and whispered "Great job Kar Marn. I'm so proud of you!" I whispered back "You did a great job too!" 

  It's time to announce the top three winners of this year's MUFY Talent Quest. Third prize went to Allyson and her dance group while the second prize went to Darren and Tori- the power couple singers! First prize went to AJ- the champion of this year's Talent Quest. We took a group photo with Mr. Prakesh. Performers hugged and praised each other for a job well done. We even take selfies too!  "fans" came up to the stage to take photos with the performers. Even a young girl asked me to take a photo with her.

  Food and refreshments were served after that. The official photographer of the event took a photo of me. I had fun at the Talent Quest. I had the golden opportunity to make comeback to centre stage after a year. Thank you to parents, seniors, juniors as well as friends who came to support all of us at MUFY Talent Quest. See you guys next year!
