Apabila peluang dating bergolek, tiada siapa dapat menolak.
Naib juara Anugerah 2005, Syed Azmir, yang popular dengan lagu Kusadari memang menaruh harapan mengadakan konsert solo pada satu hari nanti, tetapi tidak pernah terlintas dalam benaknya impian itu menjadi nyata dalam waktu yang singkat.
Lantas apabila dijemput pertubuhan seni Nusa dan Antarabangsa (Nuda) untuk mengadakan konsert solo, peluang itu tidak akan disia-siakannya.
Selain bagi menyambut ulang tahun kemerdekaan Singapura ke-41, konsert ini juga bertujuan meraikan bakat artist tempatan.
"Tak percaya pada mulanya tetapi setelah diyakinkan, barulah Mir yakin konsert ini akan terjadi," ujar Syed Azmir ketika ditemui baru-baru ini.
Sepanjang konsert satu jam setengah di The Chamber, dewan persidangan Parlimen lama, pada 7.30 malam esok, Syed Azmir akan mendedangkan lebih 10 lagu yang dipilihnya sendiri seperti Bila Rindu (Black Dog Bone), Kau Pergi Jua (Adam Ahmad) dan Jerat (Harvey Malaiholo).

The New Paper
By Sheela Narayanan
Anugerah winner not worried at being last to bring out album. He says: I am keeping best for last.
Usually, it's the winner of a talent contest who gets first crack at recording an album.
For Khairul Anuar (above), this hasn't been the case.
The 21-year-old media and communications polytechnic graduate won Suria's Anugerah contest last year but he is trailing behind his fllow Anugerah finalists in bringing out an album.
Khairul has only just released his first single Pertama (The First) while the other finalist have already started work on their debut albums.
Khairil, who was third in the contest, was the first of the four finalists to release a single. He released Nadia earlier this year. His debut album will be out soon.
Fourth place contestant Fauzie Laily released his single, Selalu (Always), last month. It is No. 2 on the Ria charts while Khairul's is at No. 17.
Syed Azmir, the first runner-up, is in the process of recording his first album.
As his fellow contestants are starting to make in-roads in the industry, Khairul admitted it was not how he would have wanted to go.
He said: "The first album should have been done after the won. But there was no recording deal... which is a waste."
Since Khairul is represented by MediaCorp TV 12's Artiste Management Unit, he has been in the limelight.
He is performing at the National Day Parade today.
He was also in three Suria-driven vehicles with the other finalists: the Anugerah karaoke VCD which was launched in the beginning of the year, the television drama Teman Anugerahku (My Friend My Gift) and a concert organized by Suria for the finalists was held at the Esplanade in April.
He has been featured quite prominently in Suria's station promotions.
Which is why the young man doesn't feel left out in the album race.
Khairul said: "I am really eager about releasing my album but I don't want to rush it. I am being patient about it. Keep the best for the last, as my manager says."
But there is a hitch. Since he has to serve his national service in September, the release of his debut album will be delayed even further.
"I am worried about that but we (I and my management) have a strategy to keep reminding the audience that I am still here," he said.
One is to use his blog, www.soulconfession.blogspot.com, to keep his fans updated on his progress. His managers are coming up with a website as well.
His second single, Kesal (Regret), will be released at the end of the month.
While Khairul intends to wok on his album in between his NS duties, he is aware how fickle showbiz is.
Next year, the next season of Anugerah will throw up a new Malay singing star.
Yet, he is not losing any sleep over the prospect of a new winner taking over from him.
He also denied that there was rivalry between him and the three Anugerah boys.
"There is a healthy competition. It's all about helping each other. If somebody comes up with fresh ideas, we can learn from that."

Ini berita baik bagi peminat setempat. Naib juara Anugerah 2005, Syed Azmir, akan menemui anda secara empat mata di sebuah konsert eksklusif pada 27 Ogos ini.
"Agak lama mereka tidak melihat saya buat konsert. Jadi inilah hadiah untuk mereka yang selama ini memberi sokongan tanpa henti," ujar Azmir ketika ditemui baru-baru ini.
Apa yang menarik, Syed Azmir akan diiringi para pemuzik professional dan mapan di sesi konsert itu yang diberi judul Akustika D'Parlimen Bersama Syed Azmir.
Ada ura-ura pula ingin mengundang sebuah kumpulan yang pernah mengharumkan industri muzik setempat. Nama kumpulan itu tidak didedahkan kerana lebih suka ia sisimpan sebagai kejutan kepada peminat.

Namun ini semua eksklsif hanya untuk 200 peminat yang perlu menempah tiket berharga $28 dan $38.
Konsert solo ini bakal berlangsung di The Chamber, bangunan lama Parlimen, dengan aturan kerusi yang dekat bagi peminat 'merasai' suasana konsert.
