*Corrections to this post!*
I've wronged Kah Hwee! She's clarified that each of us had 2 votes and she voted for contestants 1,2,3 PLUS Redemption! Not only for her Chang Tai OK PAT!! "Why AA!?"... Why u so sotong???
First and foremost, I've a good news to announce! On Thursday, one day after the trials, I received THE phone call... It started off lykdat:
"Hello, are you Candy Wong?"
"Yes..."
"Hi I'm the Table Tennis Caption from SP. U came for the trials on Wed right?"
"Yahh"
"We've Training on next wednesday, can you make it?"
"Ya, can can."
"Ok den see you there."
"Ok, THANKS!"
I'm aware that I sounded non-chalant on the phone. Maybe only part I showed enthusiasm was the THanks. But then, after I put down the phone, I jumped on my bed, lied down and Msg Pat: "They called me!..."; went online and shouted, "I'm SO HAPPY! Guess Wad!?..."; and went to my tagboard to scream one more round, "AHAHAHAHA! I GOT IN...."
Next, for the Past THREE days, I've been meeting up with Pat! Damn shiok... On Wednesday, she went with me to Table Tennis trials... She faked an SP identity and gave a false Hp number! Hahaha, it's not like she can't play den she faked it ok! When she was sparing with the captain, another team member said "eh, not bad leh..." And the captain nodded her head. On thursday, went with her to Guitarra Concerto of SP. Quite a let down la, the band section. Quoting from Simon Cowell, "Pure Karaoke; The Song was too big for them and; In some parts, it was nearly painful..." Hahaha! On Friday (yesterday), crashed AJ for AJ Idol...
Idolise or be idolised. AHahhaaha! At first I was quite un-nerved abt going bcoz we had to wear their uniform... I dun like it lar, like sneaking in and pretending to be part of another school. Actually the worst part was wearing somebody else's Us... But nvm, I got over that part and went ahead with it.
Thank Goodness I went!!! OMG, altho it started out rather awkwardly, it ended off SMASHING! When Kah led us into the Auditorium, I immediately planted my butt on an empty seats by the side. Then some guys behind me started saying, "excuse me, excuse me! these seats are booked." I quickly stood up thinking they had to seat with their classes. Then the "usher" walked to me to gimme a stamp... I asked him "So where can we sit?" to my surprise, he said, "It's ok. The seats are not supposed to be booked.." To which the guy rebutted, "But they're coming in already!" Usher: "As in, when pple come in, u can't stop them from seating here." Later I found out they were chopping seats for Hockey GIRLS team, like "gentlemen"... "AWW... So sweet..." I told pat, before rolling my eyes. Pfffft!
So we watched 2 singles (having missed the first who was Changtai, Kah's friend), 2 groups and 2 dance teams perform... Ard that time, Kah arrived with Jasper (after band practise)... Then came the 30 mins interval. I was like HUH!? 30 Mins! waste time leh... Then Kah asked, "Band section perform already?" Pat said, Yar... I thot for awhile and said No no haven't, BUT PAT Said, "Performed already!" And I SAID HUh?! No! Kah just gave us a disgusted look. I gave Pat the exasperated look...
After the break, the BAND SECTION STARTED... Pat Dunnoe wad BAND MEANS!! She thot it meant the GROUP category... -_- Anyway, Kah pointed out her eye candy to us! Wooohooo!
anw, the first band was more or less a girl-killer.. Hehehehe. they're called Redemption. Consisted of 2 rather cute twins (haha!), one lead singer, one very tall drummer who played non-stop without missing a beat (*applause*) and 2 electric guitarists... they performed Play that Funcky Music... When they were performing and when the judges were giving comments to them, Pat and I CHEERED and SCREAMED for them lor! Together with other gals surrounding us! AHAHAHA! we really blended in!! So lucky we picked a spot whr all the Redemption supporters were... *Redemption! Redemption! Redemption!* WoooooHOoooo~!
Their Competition was EXtasy.... OMG! Like they were the ones Constantine the EXorcist left behind when he came to town! HOrrigible man! Their performance was really out of this world, not in the least flattering way, with the while gig broken up into 3/4 confusing sections. They kept running ard the stage, switching places btw instruments... the lead singing cudn't really rch the high notes... aiyo, it's just really messy la! Got the when-it-is-gonna-end feeling thruout the perf.
After the performance, everyone submitted their votes written on their tickets... Pat and I gave our to kah. and she voted for changtai! gosh... I thot she or at least Pat would vote for Redemption!!! Arghh! I was really worried that redemption wudn't win leh... they had this fun lucky draw section so as to let the peeps tabulate the votes.
Ok, now for the most exciting part of the show, the results for the BAND cat. So HIGH ok, the whole Auditorium. One amazing think was all the participants had very STRONG and VOCAL supporters. The AJ Idol Committee came up with a very cool way of announcing all the winners leh.... they had this Star on the sreen den when the MC prompted us to say the cue "Idolise or be idolised", the star will spin and after showing all the contestants' faces, the winner wud appear...
So for the BAND cat, after the routine, Redemption's Name appeared BUT EXtasy's Photo shown!!! ARGHHHH!!! Evryone abit shocked and confused but the Tiao Dang Kee Band EXtasy, whom Kah said were very AA, began screaming, hopping and Hugging each other on stage! EEEEE! And one big portionof the auditorium was going "BOOOOO! BOOOOO!"
Obviously there was a cork-up... so the vote tabulators came out to clarify... anyway, the MC had the results in their hands wad. So as the MC announced... I was so Gan jiong and was telling myself I'm gonna jump and scream if Redemption won..."And the real winners of the BAnd cat is.... ReeeedempTION!!!"
WAAAAAA!!!! YEEEEEAAAHHHHHH!!!! WOOOOOHOOOOOOO!!!! Pat and I jumped up and cheered like we knew and supported them from the start!! ARHAHAHAHA! Like crazy lor! HAhahahahaha!!! So happy... dunnoe why, just VERY HIGH.=D Furthermore Redemption somehow knew their supporters were at THIS PORTION of the auditorium, and were smiling and waving happily at us. Haha!
So glad I went... And I saw that Kah kept chatting and hitting her class boys! Warren, Ser Kun and Joshua/ Joseph izzit? Alamak! poor guys. Coz Kah has a very bad habit of hitting pple when she laughs and at one point I heard Ser Kun going, "OWWW! BU YAO DA LIAo LA! BU HAO XIAO NI HAI DA!" HAhahahaha! So farni! I laughed out b4 telling pat.
earlier on, Kah intro SK to us as her Husband wor.... and she kept pointing to one other guy saying "Oi! An Lian wo de! Ta de phone wall paper shi WO leh! TA An lian wo!!" Then the boy just gave her a sian diao look.... HAHAHHAHA! Soon, she went up to Josh and said, "This one oso my Husband! I gort 2!" "eeeyer," went Josh and pointing to Kah's "secret admirer", "I rather be his wife!" Hahaha! U showed her man!
haha, so fun...
