Yes yes, very very exciting indeed... I know you're all hyped up about this food ban, so here goes!
Food to avoid:
1. Anything spicy (ie. CHILLI cheese fries, Mee pok HIAM, Fish head CURRY, HOT AND SPICY chips, TOM YAM soup, etc.) Basically anything that makes you tear, sweat, or makes your lips swell.
2. Anything that causes phlegm/gives you a sore throat (ie CHOCOLATES, FRIED chicken wings, BARBECUED sausages, OILY char kway teow, Lays potato CHIPS, etc) By the way, MENTOS actually causes you to have lots of phlegm. So do dairy products, especially milo and fresh milk, etc. So especially on your competition day or even days that you have practices, ABSTAIN from such sweets/dairy products. You'll sing better that way :)
3. Anything else that will affect your voice. You should be able to discern for yourself!
PS: Just because I say don't eat, for example, fish head CURRY, doesn't mean you go eat chicken CURRY, okay? What I mean is, don't eat CURRY.
Drink lots of water, and really take good care of your throat/voice. This food ban isn't to make your life more miserable, if that were the case we'd ban MSG, salt, tasty food, fragrant food, etc, until all that's left for you to eat is boiled cabbage. So no, that's not the point. This food ban is so that you will remember to take care of your voice.
Nobody can force you not to eat stuff that's bad for your throat, only you can do it. But ultimately, it's for your own good. So you make the final decision, whether or not to be disciplined now and be able to sing well, or give in to temptation and suffer during the trip.
Do have the responsibility to eat properly and sing to your best :) That way your effort will be worth it! So take care and make sure you get sufficient rest! :)
Till next time
