KL Band Competition

Saturday

regular activity : piano class

17th June : Anugerah Cemerlang and KL Band Comp

all these concludes to another hectic Saturday.


How the day started off

Went to school for Anugerah Cemerlang to get my certificate and money. Turns out in the envelope was a RM 30 voucher instead of 50 bucks. -_-" i thought they would've gave that kind of amount or slightly higher considering that during UPSR the school gave out a 100 bucks.

Due to Anugerah Cemerlang i reached for my piano class a half an hour late. Good thing Mama informed her. I tried calling her cell a gazilllion times yet i couldnt get through. But all this while ive been dialling the wrong number. LOLX

After class fly myself off to Nad's place. Going to band comp together gether, help make cheer props ( i'm the unofficial props manager :P) and sleeping over as well. Finally get to meet Akmal again. Surprisingly he remembered my name (Los, Los). The benefits that Uncle Amir's family gets whenever a friend comes over to their place is that Akmal will be overly excited by the prescense of new people. Meaning that i had to baby sit him. Which is annoying at times no matter how cute the 3 year old boy is.


Lepas Maghrib went to Dataran Merdeka for the competition. By then there were a hell of people already around the kandang. Should have worn heels so that i couldve gotten a better view. BAH. So i was depending a lot on the huge screen to see the bands performance.

The schools that competed were:

1) CBN : Band isnt their forte as Nad has said. They had elements of cheer and they did a cheer formation at the very end of the performance. 0_0

2) Jinjang : Good choice of songs.

3) Cochrane : Choreography was pretty good. Im not sure if it were Cochrane or Jinjang's drum major that kept letting the baton(?) fall without attempting to save it. It was just frustrating cuz he never tried to. Like no semangat also.

4) VI : The best band that night. The flag "peganger" were almost synchronize. Im sorry i cant remember what this people are called no matter how many times ive asked Nad about it. I think the kayu jatuh once..i think...but still it brought no effect to their performance and the "flag peganger" wore suspenders which is really classy. I LOVE THOSE STUFF.^_^

5) St John : Have to say that VI were better than them. * shrugs* i got bored of all performances after VI so i didnt concentrate much on them. Like every year they'll come around and wear those cowboy hats. Which is a huge turn off for me. Choreography aint that great but no mistakes occured if im correct.

6) Chung Hwa : I cant comment on them. I ran off right after St John. huhu
While waiting for the results go meet a few people which werent familiar to me. LOLX. Nad practically knows everyone and wave to all those around. Social butterfly. WTV. While looking for Alief before Nad could run off to some place :P some girl just stopped me and ask for my number. WTH. why?? i ask lah. and she was like "ala please lah nak nombor". Stumped i said " sorry no" and ran off...LMAO

Scawy. XD

Had a performance by the police people. Kesian them. Muka damn serious but theyre dancing to corny malay, english and even hindi songs with each other and they hugged as well ( awww ).

A lot of SBS people turned up. Saw a form 5 girl and guy, then bumped into Meranti students ( agama class together gether ) and cheer kiddos.

Winners of the night
1st : VI
2nd : St John
3rd : Chung Hwa

Congrats cuz this time its far more better than last years performance.

Frankly speaking i didnt really enjoy watching the band as much as last year. With everyone at the same level as the performers its real hard to have a good view of the performance. I stood behind this guy and watched the first 3 schools perform under his ear so that the lights wouldnt blind my sight. XD it definitely hurt my neck.

Finished around 11. One hour earlier than expected. Lepak lah for awhile then balik. and

TIDO.

i didnt break a sweat at all throughout the comp. :d

Im amazing
* cheesy smile *





Next Day
Again layan Akmal, finish props, went to the salon to get Nad's and Auntie Nora's hair done for some party and again baby sit Akmal. I salute Sab everytime she goes over to Nad's and jage Akmal. Went to Ampang Point makan Baskin n Robbins. First time eating :P i suck for that. I never like the idea of eating it alone so when Nad wanted some might as well just join in.

Ordered a scoop of Apple Mint Ice Cream. Its just heaven. Aint to sweet like vanilla and the flavours just right. Not that minty like as if they threw in a crate of Clorets. :)

So who's up for food reviews around KL and Ampang??
i feel the need to head off to Big Apple Donuts at LowYat to try some....
