AAAHHHHH!!!!

Well that's actually a joyful scream of a joyful spirit ... for once i think i can be in a really good mood throughout this whole week. hahahah.. at least i know from anything negative i'm able to laugh it off... (that's what i did to my sis yesterday when she told me about her financial crisis) So i think you must've known what happened. As a continuation from 29th 29th 29th.. yes it is about 29th..

Oh i must mention about the Saturday's soundcheck. I left the house at 3pm and reached there about 3 20pm , parked my car at the open air parking spot where it is just a few steps walk to reach the KLCC Convention Center Plenary Theater lift. I told the girls to wait for me at the main entrance of the hall and so when i reached i saw them and Myin(MuseMob''s leader) told me C.H asked us to wait for him at the MAIN ENTRANCE of the Convention Center to pick up the congas with Pat. And so i sms-ed C.H when we put our bags in the hall , mr Goh's OPEN SOLO student was still having her soundcheck on stage , and we sat down to watch. He replied me with a YES and so i told the girls to move along with me to collect the conga.

My definition of MAIN ENTRANCE is the one where i came from, but apparently it's not. So we walked all the way to the other end of the building and came out to this entrance just in front of The Traders' Hotel . No sign of his car... then he told me there's taxis behind and stuffs but no sign of him. So i asked the jockey guys and they directed us to the middle of the building and so we walked for MILES again.. i was cursing along the way of course , knowing that we probably had to walk for miles to carry the conga up later... (IT"S not light ok!) then before we know it, Pat was starting to grumble over the phone telling me ,

"I AM ALONE HERE WAITING WITH THE CONGA'S ! HE DROPPED ME OFF TO PARK HIS CAR ALREADY!"

"Oh my god.. what the??!?? OK OK WE'RE COMING!!!"

Couple of minutes later and after 1 more round of me asking one of the food court girls downstairs near Aquaria , we FINALLY found the entrance.. and poor Pat was just standing there waiting with 2 conga's at the drop off area.. HAHAHA ... we carried all the way back up , and by the time i reached upstairs with Lay Kuan , i was PANTING .... then we proceeded to take our name tags , envelope of allowance , free ticket , got some little briefing from Sally the lady in charge and went into the hall for our soundcheck.

I went to the ladies just then , and C.H rang and told me they're starting first. So i ran back to the hall and we started our MuseMob's song. Then only we found out , the violinists were given NOT with wireless clip mic ,but WIREFUL clip mics. HOW RIDICULOUS... imagine a violinist bowing the violin with a black tail following her behind like a mouse and the adapter was SO HEAVY that it was almost impossible to move about with the acoustic instrument. So , finally the soundman resorted to inserting the heavy adapter at the back of the girls' jeans/shorts so that it wouldn't fall off. We were a little pissed off ... but nevermind , there wasn't anything else we could do.

We did almost 2 rounds of soundcheck and it was fine... times up. Then it was my turn... i stayed on for my Cypher soundcheck, and played 1 round of it.. but to my horror the pedals were TOO SLIPPERY that my first note on the pedal was already WRONG! it became worse throughout the piece and by the time B section arrived with all my slap bass gung ho stunts... it was all in a TOTAL MESS ! I started freaking out on stage with more and more frowns on my face , and by the time the repeat of the B section came towards the end of the song , i was really frustrated already up there. After 1 round , C.H knew what happened and said ,

"Lily , play the B section again."

Without looking at him i answered EM and played on from B section onwards... this time my legs got a little more used to the slippery pedals and before i could end the song , my time was up. I came down with loads of frowns and they called me for my video shooting. After i finished mine in 2 shots , MuseMob did theirs and we were done by 5+pm.

By the time we were all done with the video and soundcheck , my gastric attacked and it was soo painful i couldn't walk far.. so Myin was nice she went downstairs to buy me milo and sandwiches... the rest of us went back into the hall and watched the others soundcheck and i was hugging my bag sitting down there looking like a sick dog. Coughing , in pain and was unwell. SUCK! I knew where did the gastric came from , the uneasiness i felt on stage just awhile ago during the soundcheck ... Thats' how fast my stomach reacts man! I kept trying to calm myself down so the pain will subside ... and it wasn't any better...

After some time , myin came back with my food and the girls went outside to take pictures and i joined them while eating my sandwiches... after that we were called in to ballot .. ahahah this is the funniest of all ... I thought history won't repeat itself neither will God allow the same thing to happen .. but when MuseMob ballot , Myin went to take the first paper. It was a ,

1

Then she turned to us with a scary stare and we started gasping and freaking out.. I said out loudly ,

OH DEAR LORD JESUS ! ...

So she continued taking the 2nd piece of paper for our performance turn , it was also a

1

After she got the number 1 , she turned to us with a horrified look and we SCREAMED for fear..hhahahaha ... how can this happen ? 2plus3 had the same situation last year with my hands balloting , now with MuseMob and a new leader and new hands , the exact situation happened! hhahahahha ... amazing. As for myself , i was rather happy... i took the first paper was a 2 , then my second piece was a 3! hehehee.... that was Teck's number last year. Right brother ?

After that we went through some briefing and were dismissed by 6 35pm. I was suppose to follow C.H back to his house for my last practice , but because my stomach was still unwell , he said go for dinner first. Both of us couldn't decide what to eat ,and since i saw some of the girls wanting to eat dinner too i asked them to come along with us. We ended up in SAKAE SUSHI! ehehheh my fav place... he bought us dinner and we had a nice meal..


After dinner , i went back to his house and spent about an hour or so practising and we did a little really teeny minor change to the sounds again .. and i was beginning to be really tired coz of the gastric battle. Went home , packed my stuffs and by 11pm i made my bed and TRIED to sleep. Mun Wei was suppose to come back from S"ban to my house and follow me to KLCC next day , but i couldn't wait for her.. so mom waited instead. By 1am she was back and i was stilll awake! Couldn't sleep ... horrible... too excited. The next thing i know , we started chatting a little while and it was already 2+am and by the time i doze off i think it was 3am. I had to wake up at 7 30am!
