Jason n me.. MIB 3 anyone??
Last weekend my college held an event called Orientation Odyssey Nite. Don't ask me why its called dat cos thats wat its been called ever since i enrolled in here. Usually i'm not a big fan of all this kinda stuff... Need to dress all formal n all, sitting down in ur seat watching a show that maybe the least bit entertaining. However, this year, cos my friend Wallace asked for assistance, i thought why not rite? Actually, he's just 1 of the directors in the committee nia. So, with all this going on and not to mention assignments, presentations n mid sem test, sorry for not blogging la.
Rows n rows of chairs which was filled up at that nite.
So my role for the nite was suppose to be one of the ushers. Whats that u may ask? Well, u know la this sorta events got all sorts of big shots n celebrities rite? So our job was to erm.. usher them wherever they wanted to go during the event (like to their seats, up on stage, out of the hall, etc) . One of my friends even escorted the principal to the toilet weh!! lolz... So being an usher, i kena la pakai formal kao kao.. Thats why i needed the blazer which luckily i did. I seriously look like a MIB agent eh? Forgot to bring my sunglasses that day :(. But seriously, i look better thn sum of the finalist weh :D.
Smart tak? wanted n upclose of me, but dude who took said stage more nicer -.-'
The day before the event the college hall was buzzing with ppl walking here n there carrying this and that, finalist practicing their routines (which honestly needed more work), helpers n staff arranging props, chairs n AV equipment. I was there at around 12 pm in time to pack the goodie bags to give to those who came. Digi was the main sponsor.. alamak, why no maxis la.. guess they really do follow u everywhere huh -.-'. So cutting the long story short, most of us spent almost the whole day from morning till nearly mid nite preparing. Man, it really felt like the longest day in my life. Even after yum cha session, it was only 1 am and i seriously felt as if i could sleep rite on the mamak table.

On the day itself, i thought i could wake up a lil later cos i just played a minor part but since i was called to assist, kena la i go at the break of dawn (actually, it was around 830 liddat). Surprisingly, we weren't the first to be there, the poor finalist actually was there from 8 am d. I don't know if its a malaysian culture or what la, but sumhow, theres always more last minute work to be done as the eleventh hour draws closer. Even got someone or something tried to sabotage furniture. But as the hours pass by, i guess everything was falling into place. Went back to get a rest at around 1 and came back to college at 3+.
Honestly, i very malas wanna explain what happened the entire nite la.. so i'll summarize eh.. lets see.. 4pm, commitee, helpers, crew started arriving, by 5, the guest judges also started arriving togather with students. There were 6 of em. 3 guys n 3 girls. I guess the only guy worth mentioning was Adam C! Yes, Adam C came weh.. and he was very nice to come without any monetary incentive or wat not. The other 2 were a guy called Dylan (host of sum chinese show on 8tv) and Vic (neh.. the malaysian idol 2nd runner up). Vic looked soooo gay that nite.. even i malas wanna take picture of him. And he bukan main ada diva attitude sial.. scold the helpers for not listenin to him. The girls leh. Honestly, i don't know any of em. 1 is suppose to be last years Miss Astro 3rd place Josephine Goh, 1 more X-tarCollege/model and another is fashion design head. But they were all surprisingly down to earth and friendly, even stayed back after the event to take pictures with those who came. Vic pula, run like he was being set free from jail.

Hmm... the show started right after all the Heads of School and principal arrived. The finalist were required to dance, do a sketch and catwalk + show of their 'talent' during the event. Their dancing was ok. Not that bad but not that good either. Their sketch however.. left very much to be desired. This being TAR, i didn't expect much of their english la. But after 2 months of training, they still had glaring grammatical errors? I think out of 6 contestants, only 1 and maybe 1 more can speak english fluently. Catwalking leh.. i don't know what to expect la. Definatly not going to be ur America's Next Top Model type la.
Josephine Goh n me. Hot not?? i mean her..
As for the talent show, not the best, but after the 3rd contestant, Adam C was already sufferin from boredom by the way the put his elbows on the table and put his head on his hands.. They were mediocre at best. Well, i guess i can't complain la rite.. they are all freshman anyways. Oh, i did escorted one of the judges to the stage to recieve their token of appreciation, the X-tarcian.. she is ok looking la... but hey, she was the only one that actually 'used' the usher provided for her. U see, as each judge goes up to the stage, we were suppose to accompany them, male judge with female usher n vice versa. The girls are suppose to sumhow 'hold' the guy's arm while accompanyin them upstage. Sadly, none of em wanted any 'help' . All 3 girls were good looking weh... The female judges also didn't want to hold on to the arm offered by us guys. Well, not them anyway, haha.. i was lucky :D .

Actually we also had to escort which ever sponsor was there to recieve their TOA. But duno why, only 2 out of i think 5 showed up. Quite n embarrasing moment la. MC calling their name few times but no one came up to stage. Oh well, shit happens rite? After all those was done n dusted, the winners was announced and to quite a number of our surprise (judges included) the one we tipped to win only managed to get 2nd place. I tell u its a consipiracy weh.. she catwalked the best, acted by far the best (she played bimbo girl.. power weh) and she her talent was singing.. and she sang really well weh... she was the digicelebrityteen winner or runner up i cant remember.
Mel (one of my 'bosses') n me
So after all that was done. People were leavin already but not before looking for those celebrity judges to camwhore with. I tell u, i think adam got the most attention. He was rooted to the spot for a good 15 min weh. But i can tell that he was loving every min of the attention he got la :p. And then rite, he asked one of us, "wheres a good place to eat around here, i'm hungry". So one whole bunch of us headed to Steven's Corner 2 yum cha with Adam C!! No one could be more happy thn Wallace himself cos according to him, he's an adam fan.. -.-.. There was this one incident, a hitz.tv ad was on tv and it was serena with adam on it. One of my friends started booing n wooing and we all wondered why. And then when another friend started to point, the whole table of us (i think got 20) started booing loudly. Adam's face got seriously red man.. hahaha. Anyway, it was great to have him at our college let alone joining us yum cha. So if sumhow ur readin this adam, thanks for the memories :).
Wallace, me , Yow n Chris
So all in all, it was a succesfull event la, and again, it was a very long day got back by 1 and it felt like 5. Although i did wake up at 5 to watch Brazil trash Argentina in the Copa America final. Was really hoping that Argentina with Messi, Riquielme and Tevez and blast those brazillians. But that was not to be.. Oh well...
Yum cha-ing with Adam C at Steven's Corner.
