live is definately different compared to TV
It was my first time driving to shah alam to go to tv3 sri pentas 2 for one in a million, top 12. As I have never really been there before, it was therefore a foreign land. I had to google the map (which was not helpful at all) and made calls for directions. So, I dragged leeping along as we were supposed to have dinner together to go for it.
Why was I there? A good friend of mine made it into top20 and she kills me if I don't show up this time. Er, previously when she was in ATQ '07, I sort of ffk her many times. Since I was free, why not? She asked us to be there by 7pm, but heh, I started my journey only at that time.
It was a tough ride considering the mild jam at federal highway and after a few wrong turns, we finally reach there, 15 minutes before 8pm. We took the 15 minutes searching and asking where is sri pentas and all and it seemed we were just in time before they close the door. As usual, Malaysian timing, they never seem to start on time. We waited and waited with stupid spotlights shining on us. I actually wonder will I get darker once the whole thing is over.
I had no idea why the dude placed us with supporters of another contestant and not bring us to our designated seats. You see, usually they segregate the seats for different contestant. We ended up with a bunch of Sarawakians, or Sabah-ians, I don't know, sitting in front of us, and they are huge people. With shades.
Joni sang a song by Juwita and she chose a contemporary gospel song. She sang she purposely chose this but no time to explain to me why. Guess its just a way to glorify God and she nailed it! We were so excited waiting for her turn and she kept trying to see where we are. Must be a shocker to her when she cannot detect us.
The whole thing ended quite late. We both have work the next morning but have to wait for her because of picture taking of the top12. Then finally came the part where she said "Hey, don't go back first. They want to interview you guys". *sweats*
After many protests, we were dragged to do it and honestly, I really didn't know what to say. I mean, I haven't been hanging out with her since we were 17 and I don't really know how it has been for her. So there, I blew it. My first chance on TV and it was horrible. Sobs.
Anyways, do keep her in your prayers and DO vote for her =)
And oh, did I mention, shes the only chinese in the top12?
