Twelveans Unmasked: During

pictures by ng yew ming.

"it's already 8, why aren't we starting?"

malaysians, have no sense of time. 7.30, does not mean 8.

so, we started late, and were 40 minutes of schedule. and nothing we could do about it either except, worry.

i actually had nothing much to do again that night, as long as everything was going fine. so i helped out at the guest entrance taking ticket stubs and stickering. hehe :)

what annoyed me was the junior to senior ratio. stupid. only juniors would pay for platinum and vip seats. and seniors? well. most of them were helping out in some dept. anyway.

when it started to get dark, i was quite impressed by the lights. i was never happy with the stage though. too small. but heck, it worked out :)

first performance was by en.shuhily, and then a performance by the finalists on if we ever meet again. which was kinda cool, to me :)

i mean, the whole night i was smiling wide and singing along in the uh 'backstage' area. and sweating too. bucketloads. it. was. hot.

performances were awesome, just that in the beginning the crowd was so dead, and unsporting.

i guess after they ate, and morning session started to perform, then it got better :)

i went to see my explorians at lvl 1, because i was kinda free, and i thought fatty, adeline and panda looked osm :) the guys, boleh tahan lah.

the food was lame, i wish i was the one to decide on the menu. i ate with them, what, i was hungry, and tired.

i wished all the Nova bandmates goodluck ;) before their turn, they were really nervous, esp. oliver... but when they performed it was kinda epic :)

because, they're all my friends and i love each and every one of em, and they worked hard for this.

before the results were announced, i wanted to anticipate and wait with fatty and adeline. it was hard to find them -_-

but when Nova won, i was like AAAHHHHH and adeline screamed with me. in the platinum section and everyone was looking at us funny. and we went to congratulate them.

hugs :) everyone was sweaty. super sweaty.

and took pictures like nobody's business.

things i was happy about:

1. the lighting was so colorful! :)

2. the sound was okay...

3. contestants were osm

4. performers were osm

5. afiq and harvinth, also osm :)

6. you could see people enjoying themselves

7. i also really loved the 'i love rock and roll' moment. hello? our school just doesn't get to do stuff like that, and we did. and we had our very own mosh pit. i didn't go up though, i just wanted to watch other people have fun :)

8. fatty, adeline, panda came. and charmaine came too, at the last minute she decided to. with her around, i was much calmer.

9. alot of people complimented me :D

things i WASN'T happy about:

1. the lighting was also bad because we didn't have a spotlight..and sometimes you couldn't see who was performing and who was just collateral

2. the pa had alot of technical problems too, which was very potong sometimes

3. i thought harris should have won for afternoon session :(

4. i should have worn heels

5. security wasn't very good towards the end. people without tickets snuck in, and i know we are all desperately seeking attention on the inside, you don't have to stand on a table like drunken noob attracting death stares from pn teo okay.

6. the lame food. and the drinks weren't even enough! makes me wonder how much we actually paid the caterers.

7. didn't get to take pictures with everyone

i'll keep posting later.

ps: i know this stuff may bore you to tears, but again, this is for future reference.

;)

my eye is swollen again.

ogre.
