First gig
@ ION Orchard Official Opening

It was a rather intriguing experience,
Fun, stress, exposure, self-reflection, laughter.
During rehearsal on thursday night, actually got a rare chance to watch Wang Lee Hom rehearse and jam.
He is pretty good live! If iirc he sang yao gun zen me le and gai shi ying xiong,
and played and sang on the piano. Niceeeeeeeeee!
Man i sweared he gave Esther a super charming smile hah.

The event day itself was hell,
A few last minute changes made to the song, when i still had problems smoothing out the sequence.
I did not play too well, i believed i could have played much better.
I had no idea what was going on but i lost concentration, in exchange for showsmanship.
Was counting the bars halfway when i blanked out,
There was i, a goner. :(

So much for an encouragement from one of the runway models.
Right on the steps before we go out on stage, we were like waiting for the cue,
I reckon this hot european lady saw me biting my lips and brows somewhat knitted,
(last minute running through of sequence in my mind)
And so she tapped me from behind, "Good luck buddy!" + :D
Me: "Thank you" + stunned + :):):):):):):):):):):):):):)
And when going down the stairs after the performance,
We made eye contact again and she went, "Great job great job" + :)
Me: "Thank you" + stunned + :):):):):):):):):):):):):):)
Can call me suaku or anything,
But i was surprised they would actually make social contact with plain commoners,
Cos all along i sterotyped them to be snobbish and proud people.
So it was really quite an insight. :x

On contrary, i felt bad for one of the dance groups.
They were all decked in really pretty costumes, full make up and everything.
The guys had really nice mohawks attached to their heads,
loud and striking and looking damn good.
Only to have their performance cancelled.
(Shouldn't elaborate on why :\) Technically, "time constraint".
But i felt that it was super unfair to them,
How much effort and time they have spent to prepare and practice to present their hard work?
All i could see backstage was their disappointed faces.
I don't know the problems and difficulties the events people were facing,
But personally i thought they could have rescheduled their performance to later.
I mean, how long is a freaking dance, just five miserable minutes?

The finale was EPIC.
Superb pyrotechnics, NOT
when they explode right in front of you.
Was thrashing around, then.. BOOMZ
Deafening blast + blinding light = instant heart-stop
I thought i was gonna die or something man.
Ended with tons and tons of beautiful confetti flying all over the place, on our heads, everywhere.
Haaaah.

Went to Wheelock BK for dinner cum supper,
Helped to load everything back to studio,
HOME SWEET HOME.

Nonetheless, thankful to all the nice people for their friendliness and patience in guiding me this cai niao along though i have only been in for a short time.
Really, thank you.

Sorry, no pics :(
Probably only a photo of my backstage pass soon lol.

In such a fatigue state,
SHOULD I STILL ATTEMPT TO run- i mean WALK the 10k tmr morning?
I would need to wake up at 5, goodness gracious. T_T
Ommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
