音谷打杂妹____郑苑盈

她和青青绿绿的东西很有缘，这次来沙巴也不列外。

苑盈说，来到沙巴大学，不参与活动，会有点不自在。

苑盈一直以来都住在山明水秀的吉打郊外，上Matriculation的时候也是都在山前的一所学院就读，直到来到了沙巴亚庇，她还是被山水给包围着。对于亚庇的气候与环境，苑盈很快就这样适应下来了。

苑盈一进入沙大就开始活跃于在许多的活动，这些活动或许对原创或华界文化没有太大的关系，但这也能开始让她在活动上了解到一些程序上的要点，无论是简单或是复杂，这一切，她都能够好好的吸取经验，好让自己在沙大的第一个学期充满学习的欲望。但是，由于某些因素而让她没法再度参与这个活动，让她留有些许的失望。

她不气馁，在第一届中华晚会的面试，她再一次拿出一些经验告诉筹委会她所能够带给中华晚会的贡献，当然她的一番诚意与她曾有的一些经验，让她再度有机会站在幕后担任工作人员。她回忆起说，在中学时代，她就是一个很喜欢参与活动的活跃分子。所以如果来到沙巴大学，不参与活动，会有点不自在。这也是她其中一个原因参与第二届中华晚会。

苑盈答应一起创造音谷贝特的原因是她还有一团未息的火在燃烧，
烧起她对写词的意念。

就这样，第一届中华晚会让她认识了音谷贝特的几位元帅。她所负责的岗位是制作部，而她先是认识到当时的制作总监梁家慎，还有熟悉音乐部分的陈信宏。 苑盈在这个团队里负责的是歌唱，偶尔她会给予表演者音准练习，好让中华晚会事半功倍。所以跟家慎和信宏在艺术这一部分有许多互动。在后期，她更对写词情有独钟，也因为这样，认识了演唱人Saito齐藤静惠和音谷贝特的核心与支持原创的王依婷。或许她是里头最年小的一位，所以再慢慢熟悉的情况下她开始觉得自己在这一群人当中能找到一些自己想要的东西。其实那就是搞更多的活动，而且是与自己最投契的一群人。

与其他元老一样，她答应一起创造音谷贝特的原因是她还有一团未息的火在燃烧，烧起她对写词的意念。也许这样，她对音谷贝特抱有期望，能够让她在未来的日子里，有更多的机会让自己的词面世于这个社会里。于是，她在音谷贝特里担当了打杂妹这个角色。

在音谷贝特刚刚起步时，她是以打杂的方式来与成员沟通。所谓打杂，就是她会记录所有开会得到的想法与程序，就像是位秘书，让音谷的书写程序更加完整。当时，依婷都对她做的一切竖起大拇指，原因是，她都一一能够把书写做的仔细。

在作词方面，苑盈从中华晚会直到音谷贝特成立，她已经作出了五首的词，而值得一提的是她的词在第二届中华晚会里被充当了当晚舞台剧里的主题曲与插曲，这对她来说是一种荣耀。过后的她还是会在空闲时写写词然后在上载到音谷曲库去，好让家慎和信宏有好的·资源去作曲并编成好听的一首歌曲。

她和青青绿绿的东西很有缘，这次来沙巴也不列外。

一直到她慢慢升级为学姐，让她的课业越来越忙，甚至忙到有时连音谷的列常活动都被逼缺席，这对音谷来说是一大的遗憾，因为有她的存在，其实能够让学员获益不少，尤其是在音准与写词的心德这一块。她告诉我说，如果自己不再那么忙，她就可以让自己抽身在音谷里继续为音谷写多一点词，甚至协助音谷举办更多的活动。

她告诉我说，现在在音谷里，她会以比较低调的形式去为它争取更多的表演机会，她更是强调，不要失去对原创的热枕，有想法就要去坚持。

她会以比较低调的形式去为它争取更多的表演机会，
她更是强调，
不要失去对原创的热枕，有想法就要去坚持。

后记：我记得苑盈是个蛮追求完美的人，以前刚认识她的时候，她总是个拿起笔来就炯炯有神的作词人，她也是在我们有着各式各样会议时的打杂妹。可是如今，当她渐渐变为学姐当儿，也渐渐在音谷贝特的列常活动变得低调起来。我多希望她能够再拿回一些热情，好好经营音谷贝特。其实，她是最后一位有机会还在沙大看着音谷贝特成长的元老。

She has a destiny with greeneries and lushes.

Yuan Ying has always lived in the picturesque outskirts of Kedah. Her matriculation was also completed in a college facing a hill. Until she came to Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, she is still surrounded by mountains and seas. Perhaps, this was why she adapted easily in the environment.

As early as her entrance to UMS, Yuan Ying has been actively involved in many activities. Those activities might not be linked directly to originality and the cultural aspects, but they were what make her to have some insights on procedural elements in both simple and complex particulars. All these experiences leaded her to more desire of learning more things in her first semester at university. However, due to certain factors, she could not participate in those activities again.

The disappointment did not discourage her to join other activities. Her sincerity and past experiences have successfully secured her an opportunity to work at backstage. She recalled that in her high school, she was an active member in participating activities. If she did not join some in the university, she would certainly feel uncomfortable. Therefore, she joined the Chinese Cultural Night 2013.

As such, she got to know the pioneers of Incubator Workshop. She was responsible for the production department in the cultural night. She first met Ka Shem, the production director and Sin Hoong, the music enthusiast in the committee. Yuan Ying was responsible to give performers musical intonation practices, therefore she had many interactions with two of them. In the later stage, she had a soft spot in lyrics writing. Because of that, she became more familiar with Saito, a vocalist and Ee Theng, the founder of Incubator Workshop. She was the youngest among all. However, this did not hinder her to include herself in this group of people as she slowly found what she always wanted. In fact, it was to engage more activities with a congenial group of friends.  

Like other pioneers, the reason she agreed to create Incubator Workshop together was that she had a flaming desire to write lyrics. She hoped that through Incubator Workshop, her views could be delivered by words. Uncomplainingly, she took up the “odd jobs” in Incubator Workshop.

During the first phase of establishment, Yuan Ying served as a secretary for Incubator Workshop. She kept all meeting records and procedures organized. Other than that, she facilitated a smooth communication flow among members. During activities, she covered up whichever she could to ensure a smooth program flow. At that time, Ee Theng was truly impressed by her ability and passion.

Lyrics-writing wise, Yuan Ying has produced 5 lyrics from the cultural night 2013 to the establishment of Incubator Workshop. It is worth to mention that one of her lyrics was honoured as the theme song for the cultural night 2013. After which, she restlessly kept writing and uploading her lyrics to the lyrics library of Incubator Workshop to serve as a good resource for music composers to work with.

Until she has become a senior, her workload in studies got heavier and heavier. Most of the time, she was forced to skip the weekly activities of Incubator Workshop. Her presence, in fact, benefited members in intonation and lyrics writing. She said that if she was no longer busy, she could get herself to engage more in Incubator Workshop.

As of today, she seeks for more performing opportunities for Incubator Workshop instead, in the background. She stressed that do not ever lose the passion for originality. If there is a dream then persist it!

Epilogue: The perfectionism of Yuan Ying is still what I could relate her with. When I first met her, she was always making a writing. I appreciate how she willingly kept everything in order. However, things change when she is becoming a senior. She rarely appeared in routine activities. I truly hope that her passion could be retrieved and she could slowly pick up what she has missed. In fact, she is the only pioneer that still at the university. She is the only one who can watch and grow together with Incubator Workshop!
