Here are my review. Sorry, it's A BIT long!!
I reached CM by LRT at about 1.50pm. I saw a booth, where there was a gal signing the guess book, got balloons and goodie bags there. I wanted to walk towards the booth. But I decided not too. I saw Kumiko and Fanny there sitting under the tent. There was a rose on each seats.
I asked them, “Do we need to sign (referring to the booth)?”
Kumiko: That’s for press la. You can go and sign if you want
I saw Jwong busy taking pictures of some pinkies there. I went up to her. Apparently, 988 allowed us to stand in front of the stage. There was an empty space between the stage and the tent. What 988 afraid of was raining. Then Jwong told them, “Rain nevermind. We’ll still stand!” ;DThen I spotted Idle Jam, sitting there all alone with empty seats beside him. We chatted for a while.
Then I saw Sam (988 DJ, it's a 'she') on the stage. I rushed to the stage thought that the event had started. Mana tau only testing the mic. Then Chen Wei Quen came out to test the mic. Jwong waved at him but he didn’t respond to her, he just looked at the ground.
Haha.. ;D
After that, the stage was empty again. Pinkies were already standing in front of the stage. There was drizzling but we don’t care. We took pictures and chatted with each other. We saw Ah Niu and his PA walking by the side of the stage. We shouted “Ah Niu” and he smiled and quickly covered his face with his hand. Aiks, malu ape? Pinkies won’t eat you la.
At about 2.45pm, the event started. Sam came out, introducing the purpose of the event (to launch the 988 Valentine drama). She informed us about those people involved in the drama. Ah Niu wrote the story and also he sang for the theme song of this drama. Sorry le, can’t remember what she said in details. Although I can understand Mandarin a bit here and there, but it’s difficult to remember. Hehe. I think Fish was also involved in writing the script of the drama (Correct me if I am wrong)
Then, Sam asked us a few questions based on the information provided about the Valentine drama earlier on. Those who managed to answer the question will be given free posters of the drama.
First up was Aric He Zhi Jian. Wah
, he very yeng lo. Quite muscular and leng chai. He sang "Zhe Yi Tian". He shocked hands with the front crowd. My, his hand was a bit wet, sweating la him. After that Sam came out and they chatted on stage. Next was game time. They needed a couple on stage. Before that, Sam and Aric demonstrate what the couple should do; both running in opposite direction towards each other in slow motion, rubbing each others shoulder. Then U-turn, walked slowly passed each other, looking at each others’ eyes. Then turned back, looked at each other again and ting ting ting…electric shot. Then they asked a boy and a girl to volunteer. After calling for a few times, there was this young couple who went up the stage. They cut the acting short; first walking towards each other, rubbed each others’ shoulders, turned back and ‘zzzee zzzeee zzzeee’. SO FAST!!
They cut the whole story short! Save time. Hehe.. They won a goodie bag with two balloons tied on it, a love shape-box of Ferrero Rocher and a small love shape pillow. The crowd (mostly pinkies) requested the couple to hug hug. They were really shy but they hugged each other at last. Bravo! So sporting!
Next was Chen Wei Quen. Very yeng and muscular also
He sang “Yuan Lai Ai Hen Jian Dan”. Then Sam came out to interview Wei Quen. He was actually not feeling well, maybe of the weather and after effect of CNY (ate too much). Then, it was game time. Wei Quen selected a girl from the crowd. One of the pinkies was selected but I forgot her name, sorry. The girl has to say out what’s her message to Wei Quen. Then she said “I like to listen to your songs, very nice. I’ll support you, I support local artist.” What a sweet message. Then the crowd again shouted “hug hug”. But Wei Quen said “I’m not feeling well. I’m afraid I’ll spread my sickness to her. Then the crowded responded “She won’t mind”. ;D The girl also said “I don’t mind.” She won herself a goodie bag. (Her name is cheryl42. thanks to Jwong for informing
)
Up next was the funny and sporting Ah Niu. When he went up the stage, he tripped but luckily he didn’t fall. Sam was calling him AH NIU but he said “Don’t call me Ah Niu, call me Ah Hua.” He was acting as a girl on stage (I think the girl in the drama name is Ah Hua). Anyway, they were telling about the story line of the drama. Sam said it in Mandarin and Ah Niu translate it to English. My my…all the broken English but it was really funny. He tooked Szen’s red rose to act. He hold on the batang of the rose and started to swing the rose. Poor rose, so kurus ady some more now kena spin.
Szen: Oh no, my rose gonna die soon.
Me (to Ah Niu): Her rose gonna die lo.
Ah Niu: Oh!
He then holds a little nearer to the rose but still swinging away. Sigh, cannot rescue ady the rose.
Then they called up the casts. Aric, Daniel and Wei Quen went up the stage. Apparently, the three of them were Ah Hua’s ex-boyfriends. Ah Hua had lost the letters the three of them wrote to her. So, the 3 boys have to say out what were the content of the letters.
1st was Aric. Hmm, I can’t remember what he said. But he was touching Ah Niu when he said the content (macam acting la). Ah Niu said “Don’t touch me!”. 2nd was Daniel. We saw that Daniel’s hand was trembling, holding the mic. Aiks, Daniel..you nervous ah? Anyway, Daniel said “Marry me" to ‘Ah Hua’. Daniel was standing behind Ah Niu. Ah Niu was lending a little against Daniel. There were really close. Then they sat on the stage right in front of me, Szen, Aunty Melody and Lilywhite
. Ah Niu said “I didn’t answer your question because…I felt into the river” ;D and he jumped down from the stage when he said that. Then Wei Quen was really sporting, straight away grab Ah Niu, his (Wei Quen’s) back facing the audience and they were kissing (acting only). Haha… we really laugh non-stop.
Then, Ah Niu sat on the stage’s stairs and the three of them came one by one to massage Ah Niu (I think it’s part of their script). Aric used his backside to massage (he didn’t put his backside on Ah Niu’s shoulder, don’t worry, only acting). Then Wei Quen used his hands. And Ah Niu was ‘ah-ing’ away then he closed his mouth.
Sam: Kids, please don’t try this at home.
I think Ah Niu said : What’s wrong with massaging?
Sam : Not the massaging but your ‘ah-ing’ ;D
Ah Niu: Oh, that one. That’s why I closed my mouth.
Haha… It was hilarious. Next was Daniel. He used one of his hand and tumbuk Ah Niu’s shoulder a few times and said something (not very hard la, but I can’t remember what Daniel said).
Acting finished. And Daniel sang. He said he was really happy to get to perform after the CNY break. He missed performing le ;D. Pinkies shouted “Daniel, happy Valentine’s Day” in Mandarin. He sang XZHXJN, pinkies sang along with him. He shocked hand with the crowd (not everyone). Of caused those in front all rushed to him. Aunty Melody nearly fell because people were pushing here and there.
But she still can smile and laugh. Too happy can shake Daniel’s hand. Hehe..Aunty Melody gave Daniel a packet of Ferrero Rocher with a red rose stick attached to it. And 3 more pinkies gave their red roses to Daniel. After that, pinkies shouted “Daniel, Pinkies love you”. Then he went backstage.
Ah Niu was next to sing. He sang “Tao Huan Duo Duo Kai” and “Yue Ding” (the theme song of the drama). Before he sang, he was asking the crowd whether we know how to sing the first song. Some responded yes. So he wanna test how much we know it.
Ah Niu: Ok, let’s see whether this xiao mei mei(little girl) knows how to sing
He walked to the front. Beside Jwong, there was a little girl. Guess what happened??!! Ah Niu put the mic in front of Jwong!
So Jwong was xiao mei mei that he was referring to. Hahahaha. ;D
Jwong: I don’t know how to sing.
Ah Niu: Nevermind, I’ll whisper the lyrics to you, then you sing.
Jwong: Wo, zai ce er deng che ni hui laiii, deng che ni hui lai hua er dou kai hui (something like that..)
Wah, Jwong sounded so professional! Ah Niu gave her compliment. Then, he sang both of the songs. After that it was time for game. They wanted a couple again. But no one volunteered. So Ah Niu picked from the crowd. The picked the xiao mei mei again (Jwong) but no guy wanna volunteered. Then they was this boy (about 17 or 18 year old) went up the stage. I don’t know whether he volunteered or his girlfriend asked him to do so. Anyway, both Jwong and the boy have to act according to what Ah Niu said. They sat on the stairs and started to act (in Mandarin)
Boy: You’ve worked whole day, you must be tired.
Jwong: It’s not your business.
;D ;D ;D
I only remembered this dialogue. After that, half way through the conversation, there was blackout (part of the acting) and….. you continue the story yourself..hehe.... ;D ;D ;D
Throughout the whole acting process, the boy kept on looking at his girlfriend. My my…poor boy.
Both of them got a goodie bag each.
After the game, it was the end of the event. Sad sad, no games while Daniel was up on stage. But seeing him performing is good enough. No autograph session. The whole thing ended at about 4pm. Then everyone chao!
That’s all. I’ve forgotten most of the conversation during the whole event. Hehe..I’m not as efficient as Sevelynn, bring notepad to write down the details of each event she went to. I didn’t write down anything, lazy la. Sorry if I’ve missed out anything. Those who went, please feel free to add in anything.
