Josh Groban's "You Raise Me Up" won me the MBB Finance Sector's MBB Idol Title


On 13th November 2009 (yes Friday the 13th), my employer Maybank held our Finance Sector's "Glitz & Glam" night for which one of the key highlights was the MBB Idol contest for which I took part in. I was last to perform among the 7 contestants competing and as the saying goes : "The last shall become first". I sang a very familiar song i.e. Josh Groban's "You Raise Me Up" which I have sung in many outings previously but never in a competition as this. Even when I started my first verse, the cheers from my colleagues were overwhelming and it was indeed a wonderful experience for me.



For my effort, I came out tops and was rewarded with a "BIG" Mock cheque with a relatively small sum of $. Anyway, it is not the money that matters but I did it for fun and for entertainment. One of my colleagues video-taped the full performance and uploaded it in You Tube. Feel free to check it out on You Tube by clicking on the link : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJ57Gmi5bfE
Cheers !
