The NasSau Hair Lift Wayr Wei KoMun Melaka

15 AUGUST 2009
Kuala Lumpur
  • Made my way to a studio at Robson Heights to meet up with Zalina and the rest after Suet Yee's birthday celebration at Gardens.
  • There were altogether nine of us - Zalina, Kai Sing, Nickson, Tian Kiat, Jenny, Johan, Sammi, our new friend Melisa Suciati from Indonesia, and I. Melisa joined us later on at Melaka as a replacement.
  • Rehearsed our parts with the conductor/composer/arranger for around half an hour or so.
  • All of us present for the rehearsal, except Zalina, went to Maideen for drinks.

16 AUGUST 2009
Kuala Lumpur/Melaka
  • Slept around eight in the morning because I was seriously caught up in competing with David. Both of us played "Plants vs. Zombies" until I finally gave up and went upstairs to clean up my messy room before taking a short nap of around two hours.
  • Went shopping for white slacks, shirt and shoes with Kai Sing. Rushed home right after to pack. Last minute preparation AS USUAL!!! XD
  • Zalina drove Kai Sing, Sammi and I, whereas Johan, Nickson, Tian Kiat and Jenny went with Jenny's Kelisa.
  • On call for the rest of the day, but the sound check, and full rehearsal with the band and orchestra were called off in the end due to heavy rain.
  • Practiced our parts at our apartment with Nickson leading us at first. Zalina took over shortly after the rehearsal was called off.
  • Had to dance for the closing song. GOSH!!! I seriously have zero knowledge when it comes to dancing! Kai Sing taught me a few dance moves. Zalina had to pull me out and teach me personally after seeing that I could not catch up. Began to worry that I could not deliver the next day. @@
  • A grounding session followed... Sammi began to dance like the late Michael Jackson after I "tranfer" all my "dumb" energy to her (as Nickson said... HAHA! Sorry, Nickson!)
  • Went to McDonald's for supper.



17 AUGUST 2009
Melaka

  • PERFORMANCE DAY!!!
  • Nickson, Jenny, Tian Kiat and Johan woke up earlier and went to the mall to watch G.I. Joe.
  • Kai Sing, Sammi and I decided that we'd prefer to stay and continue to sleep. XD
  • Sammi wanted to try the chicken rice balls, so Zalina drove the three of us to a nearby restaurant for lunch. (Thanks for the meal!!!)
  • Practiced a bit more after lunch.
  • Went to the A Famosa Fort around 4.30 P.M. for sound check and full rehearsal.
  • The launching was delayed and began around 9 P.M. due to the weather.
  • Sang the opening tune after all the speeches were given by the guests.
  • While waiting for the closing theme, all of the singers moved to the music accompanying the the local artists. Had heaps of fun on stage!
  • The show was closed, of course, with the closing tune.
  • OH! NOT TO FORGET! The firecrackers scared the hell out of us as we were performing the opening song. Luckily, we still managed to pull through.
  • Depart for K.L. around 11P.M

After the Performance


Famous quote of the trip - "Stop flicking his nipple, Bitch!"
Had a wonderful experience with all of them!
Hoping for another performance soon! XD

David's Birthday
  • Close to two months since David's surprise party. Was caught up with piles of assignments and exams for the past few weeks. Now I can finally breathe the sweet air of freedom!!!
  • No pictures available to be uploaded though. (Sorry about that!)
  • Writing this from a superbly vague memory, so don't expect too much of a detailed story from me.
  • IF my memory serves me right, we pretended to have totally forgotten about his birthday.
  • Remember him calling in the middle of the preparation, asking if me and Kok Kian would like to follow Zi Ming and join him for dinner somewhere near his workplace. (Remember rejecting him cruelly and feeling bad for treating the birthday boy so. But HEY! The surprise party that came later on, that was worth every disappointment that he went through that day! XD)
  • Talking about the preparation... Went to Leisure Mall during my two hour break to grab a paper bag and a tiny box to contain his gifts. Went to Mid Valley later on to grab all the party supplies, durian pancakes, durian ice-cream, durian cream puffs, Big Apple Donuts of which one of the donuts is of durian flavor, etc. (Now you know... How much he adores durian! =p)
  • On Kok Kian's side, he went with Wai Kit, Mel and Lilo to buy snacks, finger food, drinks, as well as the birthday boy's cake.
  • When all preparations were set, we waited IMPATIENTLY for David to return home from work. (Remember a false alarm... Hmm...)
  • Heard the sound of the gate opening. Everyone was downright nervous! It was the real deal and just as he entered the front door... “你们通通跟我出来!”
  • Could not blame him though... The balloons were scattered all around the floor. We came out of our hiding places, and with Kevin on guitar, sang him a birthday tune.
  • However, I could tell that he was seriously happy and appreciated the surprise party we had prepared for him.
  • Ended his birthday celebration with a "trip" to Reggae Bar. XD

Jing Yean's Birthday

  • 大佬's birthday! Could not remember much either. >.<
  • Remember going to Marche Movenpick Restaurant for dinner.
  • Remember going to Secret Recipe to buy him a cake.
  • Could not remember where we went to devour the cake. @@
  • Could not even remember what cake we bought him. LOL!
  • Moving on...

15 AUGUST 2009
Suet Yee's Birthday

  • Actually the initial plan was to go to Port Dickson, but the resort was fully booked. The following plan was to go to Genting, but due to H1N1, we figured we better not go there as well. Finally, we ended up dining at Italiannies in The Gardens.
  • Thanks JY and SY for going to The Gardens instead of The Curve! Really appreciate you guys changing the venue for me!!! THANKS!!!
  • Yee Mei, Pay Ying, Kian Siong, Grace, Li Yien, Jun and me gave Suet Yee a card with the words "One in a Melon" written on it.
  • Had a wonderful evening chatting AND gossiping, catching up and everything.
  • Fish got herself a FREE birthday cake. (Not really a cake... Don't really know what it's called. >.<)
  • She was asked by the waiters and waitresses there to stand on her chair and to give a speech to all of us present. It was downright funny to see an embarrassed fish on a chair. XD
  • After the dinner, the rest of the gang continued to shop at Mid Valley.
  • Too bad I had to leave early for my rehearsal. T.T

Once again... Happy Birthday to all of you! XOXO
