And the madness began...

Thursday started off in a very usual way...
Go to the office.... get things organised...
In the evening I went to the DKNY Spring Summer fashion show......
I didn't find this event all that exciting... firstly there was no MC so no one actually knew what was going on.... Suddenly loud music started playing which gave everyone a fright and the fashion show started..... after about 15 minutes, it ended... and everyone just looked at each other thinking "ok, what now?"....

MC's are important in a function... It gives the audience a sense of someone being in control and someone who knows what's going on...

Some of the clothes were nice but most of them I felt that if I walked around Sungai Wang long enough I would find stuff that looked exactly the same....

So I left and headed to KLCC for the Anya Hindmarch Spring Summer Collection launch. There was definitely stuff there I wanted to buy, but on my budget, I always have to wait for sales...

Then suddenly, in walks these two ladies...

Yes, Ning and Yanie....

We held lots of bags and Yanie and I dreamt of having more money to buy the things we liked... We'll get there one day Yanie!

I didn't realise this at the time but from this point on, this is when the madness began!

Ning, Yanie and I were all hungry so we went to Chinoz in KLCC to have some food... all healthy stuff..... salads and vegetables.... (he he he he)

We were then joined by Mr Manager and Gangstarz judge Vernon and the other Gangstarz judge Maple... My goodness we can make a lot of noise together!

You may not know this... Maple used to choreograph bak up dancing for Ning's shows and I was one of the back up dancers.. That's how we all know each other...

One show I really remember us doing was at Dataran Merdeka. One minute before we went out on stage, one of the lights exploded and glass was all over the stage. No one cleaned it up so we were forced to perform with broken glass. The stage wasn't really a stage either... The floor was all ugly pink and grey tiles which made it very slippery and almost impossible to dance on... I felt like I was dancing in a big open air bathroom and trying to avoid all the broken glass.... The things us live performers have to cope with on the spot.... Sigh!

Once we had all eaten, we went walking around the shopping centre.... I don't remember any of us buying anything which is a miracle.... We were like a mini circus or something because everyone in KLCC just kept looking at the 4 of us as we walked thorugh the place...

Then Maple asked me to join her at her restaurant Tamarind Springs were the current finalists of Gangstarz were to spend an evening over dinner with Ning....

Here are some things I learnt too while listening to Ning talk to the Gangstarz contestants

1 - You can never go wrong eating fruits, vegetables and salads

2 - Humming is really good for your voice

3 - The first note of a song is very important

4 - Listen to the keyboard

5 - Be open to comments


She is definitely an inspirational speaker......

Also, one of the buttons on my jacket came off before I arrived at Tamarind Springs... and Vernon didn't notice, because if he did, he definitely would have said something.... The advantage of having long hair to cover things up!

The food was really good too!!!! I'll leave Vernon to talk about the food... He does better food reviews....

Today, a meeting for an upcoming program I am doing.... I cannot reveal what yet, but it's on the way! I'm very excited.... I'll keep you informed...
