OK so here's the post on the NTV7 performance. No pictures available. Sorry. Haha, I haven't got them from Aminah.
[Warning: LONG POST WITH LOTS OF WORDS]
So, I arrived the earliest in school on Sunday morning. 6am. Haiqal came shortly after. More people turned up after that. Everyone looked dead. Wei Keat's sister got married the night before, and he said he didn't get to sleep at all. Calvin went for a countdown and only slept for 2 hours. Hence, both of them were sleeping on the roundabout floor. LOL
Mr Andri was late that morning. 15 minutes late.
When Mr Andri turned up, we quickly rushed to the music room to get the stuff ready. But, our plans sort of backfired when we found out the grill was locked. We took the keys from the guard and tried to open the grill. Attempts failed.
We call the weedy, smoking guard over and he realised he gave us the wrong key. Bloody bastard. He delayed our schedule by 10 minutes.
So we got up to the music room and started moving everything down. By the time everything was packed into our transports (Mr Andri's car, Deepan's car, Haiqal's mum's car, Aminah's Alphard and a rented van), we technically had 5 minutes to reach the NTV7 station in Glenmarie, Shah Alam. The 5 minutes were gone when Mr Andri decided to turn into BHP for petrol.
So we left for Glenmarie and got lost there. Mr Andri led us in circles. He even stopped and asked a motorcyclist the way to the station. It was a really stupid situation, seeing that there was a signboard exactly the place we were circling. After 3 rounds, Deepan took the initiative and overtook Mr Andri's car and led us to the station. Go Deepan!
So when we reached, we unloaded our stuff and were greeted by a very metro sexual guy named Calvin/Kelvin (I'm not sure which, but I'll use Kelvin for explaining purposes). He was very friendly. Lol
We put aside our stuff in their lobby and went to their cafeteria for breakfast. Good food. =)
Kelvin briefed Mr Andri, me, Ervin, Deepan and Sam about the performance during breakfast. We were not performing at the start of the show as expected (I think the agent who got this performance for us kinda bullshitted a lot. Such as the appearance of local celebrity singers, etc.). We were doing the ending of the show.
He also decided that the hosts of the show were going to interview Mr Andri and me. Lol. Mr Andri was seriously nervous. Haha
After eating, we set up our stuff and got ready.
We practiced a bit for a while and Mr Andri got kinda pissed because we weren't doing that well during the practice. Trumpets were being knocked over, drumsticks were dropped and dance steps were forgotten. Well, everyone can't be blamed much because half of us were sleepy/dead. But still, emotions were kinda flying around. Eventually, we all went into the lobby to rest and wait for our cue.
Then, Kelvin told us it was time. The hosts came down and we performed. =)
Oh, one interesting thing about the hosts. They're actually married. And the girl happens to be my neighbour. YES, MY NEIGHBOUR. She stays opposite my house. Heck, I even attended their wedding about 1-2 months ago.
LOL. But she didn't notice that I was her neighbour though. Haha
Anyway, back to the story. Lol, we performed in a fashion that sort of shouts out the message: "What the heck la. Let's just do the horny dance moves and get it over with."
And we sucked. Haha. I'm not too happy with our performance la. The moves were OK. The sound for me sucked. Big time.
Nevermind, at least it's over. After the performance, we all went back to the cafeteria for lunch. This time with the hosts and the crew members and all. Haha.
My neighbour came over and said sorry for not recognising me earlier. Her mum just SMS-ed her and told her we lived opposite each other. LOL
Well, we received loads of calls and SMS-es during lunch. Haha. Thanks for watching guys! =) And sorry for making you guys wait from 9am. There were a few complications and change of plans. Lol
After that, we packed up and left for school.
That's all. The day started off kinda funny and OK. It got serious in between and tensions were flying. But in the end, everybody was joking around and happy again. Haha!
So all in all, I had loads of fun and it was a great experience. Kudos~
P.S: Deepan drove 180km/h on the way home. Cutting left and right on the highway. If Deepan starts a passenger service, Sunway Lagoon theme park can close down, I tell you. Haha
