Alright everyone, hold your breath as Ostro takes you into the second part of Watson’s Birthday Bash review. Sorry for taking such a long time.
Now, after the emcee left the stage, the intro tune of “The Choice”/Xuan Zhe was heard and everyone started screaming. Daniel made his entrance together with his dancers and the whole crowd got really hyped up!! All of us just SCREAM our lungs out because we have all been waiting for him for hours!! Daniel did a little dance together with his background dancers before he started singing. “The Choice” is a fast beat song which always makes me feel like dancing. It was really great to start the show with such upbeat song because it really worked out the crowd. Daniel looked stunning with his formal pink shirt and black suit which gave him an elegant and cool image.
After the performance, Daniel had a little time on stage and uses it to greet everyone there and introduced his next song. He said it’s going to be a Malay song and “dah lama tak nyanyi lagu ni”.. then all the pinkies started to shout out “KINI BEBAS!!” “ANGIN MALAM!!”.. then the music starts… everyone was like “ohhhh.. Angin Malam!!”. It was really a nice song which brings back the memory of Daniel’s journey in Malaysian Idol. To me, Angin Malam is his best performance throughout MI. Then, it was time for Daniel to sing his Malaysian Idol winning single, MIMPI!! Unlike all of his other performances singing MIMPI, this time he had backup dancers to dance along with this song as well!! Not only that, Daniel actually started of the song with MIMPI but changed it to FEI in the middle of the song. So, it's like a 2 in 1 performance... 2 languages in one song. Isn't that cool?? All Pinkies sang out loud as Daniel entertained us on stage. At the end of the song... when Daniel sang the last word (Fei Xiang), all of us did Daniel's trademark hand sign, pointed upwards, stood up and jumped as we all shouted "FEI XIANNNNGGGG~~"
After that performance, the 2 hosts came in again. They talked to Daniel a little bit before introducing Jaclyn Victor, our very first Malaysian Idol Jac walks out to the stage with her red and black dress. She greeted the crowd and introduced the 1st song that she was going to sing. It was a song by Jessica Simpson, Angels. It was a slow song and she sang it so beautifully. If you were there, you could really feel the song and the words that she’s singing. That’s the magic in Jac’s voice… she can make her singing very heart felt. After that song, Jac talk to the crowd a little bit and mentioned that she likes to go to Watson’s.. She loves the things in Watson’s and she is saying it not merely because she is in a Watson’s function. Then she said that she will attempt a song that she has never attempted for a few years. It’s “Always be My Baby” by Mariah Carey. For this song, Jac has some backup dancers to grace her performance.
After 2 songs from each idol, the hosts came out again together with Daniel. Looks like Daniel changed his outfit already. If before this Daniel had that elegant and cool image, this time, he came out with a sporty and funky image. He was on his apple green t-shirt, white jacket and army pants. Daniel said that this time he is going to give present an acoustic performance with his guitar. This is what he always does when he is alone or when he has free time. He will pick up his guitar, play some songs and start singing. The talked to the crowd as the crew set up the equipments for him – the chair, mic stand and guitar. He introduced his 1st acoustic song by saying that it is a song he sang during the auditions of MI. Eventually the pinkies all screamed “HEAVEN KNOWS!!”… and the crowd went silent when he started singing. Heaven Knows is like Daniel’s all time favourite song and just like every time he sings it, he sang it with all his heart. The crowd were singing along with him too. After Heaven Knows, Daniel continued with a malay number. He said that this is a song that he always sings when he was singing in cafes. We all really had no idea what it was and Szen was the 1st to figure it out when Daniel started playing his guitar. It was BELAIAN JIWA… a very very nice malay ballad and my all time favourite malay song. Belaian Jiwa is such a beautiful song and I am sure most of us have never had a chance to hear Daniel singing it. I really like Daniel’s rendition of Belaian Jiwa. The song really suits his voice and style of singing… he did it so perfectly!! Then, he rounded up his acoustic performance with the song he sang during the MI Workshop, True by Ryan Cabrera. That’s another easy listening song by Daniel. Oh, I am sure after these 3 lovely songs, some of the pinkies might have already melted on their seats. What to do, Daniel is just a natural charmer who can easily make people drown with his voice.
After the acoustic performance by Daniel, Jac came out and take over the stage. She started off by singing something a little more fun and cheeky, it‘s “BIG SPENDER”!! As she sings, she walks down the stage and shakes hand with the VIPs… she also gave Aunty Swan a big warm hug and everybody started screaming!! The VIPs and the guest area were separated by some kind of fencing. Jac walked towards the fencing to shake hand with some of the lucky fans. When I walked up to her, she was surprised to see me in PINK!! Well, that’s because I am also a member of Jacsville. She was pointing at my shirt and sang “SO LET ME GET STRAIGHT TO THE POINT!!” to me!! Well, she did it in a joking manner of course. Then when she finished the song, she said “wahh…Ostrova!!”.. then everyone stared at me and screamed… I think because Jac called my name!! Oh, suddenly I started blushing.. hahahaa!!
Okie, then Jac when back up to the stage and said that she need some volunteers to go up the stage. Wohooooo!! All of us got so excited… Mei Ling was like.. come come.. let’s go!! Let’s go!! And Chun Yiun was like… “go go!! Faster… u guys must go!!”… basically I can hear all pinkies were saying… “Go! Go! Go!! Come on!! Let’s go!!”… with so much motivation I suddenly got all the spirit and courage in the world to join the volunteers. Szen was one of the volunteers but eventually pulled out when she heard that the volunteers have to dance. Szen, I am sure many of us wanna see you dancing!! Me, Uncle Milo/Kaiyeh, Grace, Teng, Meiling and 5 other fans walk up to the stage. Jac actually asked for 5 volunteers from the Pinkies and 5 from Jacsville. Jac said… “Jacsville on my left and Pinkies on my right…” then she asked me, “Ostrova!! Where are you going to stand now?!” … and I answered “How about in the middle??”… Since Pinkies had more than enough people, Uncle Milo/Kaiyeh, Piggygrace and I decided to stand on Jacsville’s side. She said that we all have to dance as she sings and the best dancer gets a……….. hug from her!! Well, at least something!! Jac started singing her next song, “I Will Survive”!! When the song started, all of us were trying to get into the mood of dancing and once the beat of the song started pumping, the 10 of us who were on stage started moving and grooving. Well, we might look silly on stage but I am sure all of us really had fun up there. We danced spontaneously and tried to fit in whatever dance steps that we could think of at that time. In the middle of the song, I got bored dancing on the same spot and that’s why I went to find Mei Ling and asked her to dance with me. I heard that Mei Ling is very good at cha cha… So I also went and try to do the cha cha and twist with her (although mine is the ciplak version.. hehe!!)… If you noticed, we kept knocking on each other because it was un-choreographed and unrehearsed!! Kaiyeh on the other corner was doing great with his Michael Jackson 360 degrees spin. Whoa.. I also dunno how he did that.. next time must ask him to demonstrate again. You can hear the crowd roaring when Kaiyeh did his thang!! When the song ended, Jac asked… “alrite, so, who should be the winner?!! Who’s the best dancer??”… The Pinkies were so niceeeee to cheer for me… I heard “OS-TRO-VAAA!!”…!! GOSH!! I guess I must have really made a fool of myself up there. Then Jac said, “What?? Ostrova??” and she turned to Kaiyeh and said, ”Nolaaa.. I think the winner should be Kaiyeh… he is the only one with white hair here!! And he’s 31 years old!!”… eventually, all of us cheered and clap as a sign to agree with Jac. As promised, Jac gave the winner Kaiyeh a BIG WARM HUG… and all of us got the consolation prize from Jac which was a hug from her too. She said to the pinkies.. if it’s Daniel, all of you will surely faint already!! Hahahaa!! We walk out from the stage, went back to our seats and the show continues……
-to be continued-
Note:
1. Please be informed that I've made some amendment to part 1 of the review because I've left some things out earlier.
2. This is a long and phenomenal event which requires a slightly lenghty review for me to express and picture out the whole scenario on that night. Therefore, I am splitting it into 3 parts. Stay tuned as the last part of the review will be revealed tomorrow.

Finally, here comes the finale of my Watson’s Birthday bash Review.
After having some fans dancing on stage, Jac perform her Malaysian Idol winning single, “Gemilang”. This is like Jac’s trademark song. She will sing it every event she goes to. Just like always, she never fails to give people goosebumps when she sings this song. What a great way to end her solo performance.
The celebration continued with the 2 emcees and Daniel coming out to the stage (Jac still remained on stage). The emcees said, a birthday celebration will be incomplete without the birthday cake. They invited the general manager to come up on stage and at the same time, a huge birthday cake was brought out to the center of the stage. The 5 of them who were on stage led the crowd to sing “Happy Birthday to Watson’s”… and everyone sang along whole heartedly!! After the song… it’s time to blow the candles and cut the cake. The General Manager of Watson’s went on by cutting the cake without realizing that ha has not blow the candles. I guess no one on stage actually realized that and that is why no one stopped him. As soon as he cut the cake, confetti popped out from the 2 corners of the stage… it flew up to the air and landed all on the cake!! Since there were still lighted candles on the cake, the fire eventually burned the confetti and that started a fire on the stage. At 1st everyone just laughed about it but when the fire started to spread, everyone got panic. The ones on stage started to kill off the fire by stepping on it. The fire went wild and for a moment, I thought something really serious will happen. Luckily some people were quick enough to run up to the stage to assist in battling the fire. Everyone did the 1, 2, step and finally our heroes and idols managed to kill of the fire!! Good job to the fire fighters!!
The show must go on and the emcee said, for the first time ever, they will present to us something that we all have never seen on television!! It will be a duet performance by the 2 Malaysian Idols. So, the 2 emcees left the stage and left our 2 idols to give us a grand finale. Jac and Daniel asked the crowd to get on their feet and dance to the next song that they were going to sing. The backup dancers came on stage once again and the 2 idols did a duet of “Let’s Get Loud”, another fast number that got everyone dancing. Since it’s the ending of the show, everyone went all out, sing along and danced to the beat. Even the VIPs got up from their chairs to dance. The crowd really went wild and crazy… and it was completely FUN!! We thought that was the last song for the night but the 2 idols surprised us with another final song, “Inside Your Heaven” – the American Idol 4 winning single. The duet was really nice and I would say that it was really a great song to end the show with. The 2 idols sang the song with their own way and I love it so much. I hope I could hear them singing that again. The 2 idols really left the stage this time while the hosts for the evening came out for the very last time. The crowd chanted “WE WANT MORE!! WE WANT MORE!!”… but well, that was really all for us. Cheryl and her co-host wrapped up the show by thanking everyone and said goodbye.
As always, we did what we always do. We took a group picture before leaving. Some photographers who were around also took our group pictures. Everyone put on wide smiles on their faces as they left the hall. We hangout for a little while outside the hall before some decided to leave while some stayed back for an autograph session afterwards. All in all, Watson’s Birthday Bash 2006 was really a blast. This is definitely a party to remember. For Daniel, this is probably one of his best shows because he got to perform so many songs in a night. The Pinkies were all extremely supportive which made it looks as if Daniel is performing in his own concert. Once again, Pinkies successfully invaded another event and did their ‘thang’. “We come, we see, we conquer and we bring down the house!!”

Thank you Ostro for a fantastic review. Enjoyed reading it so much. Yes, it was a blast at the party. Daniel was so so so superb, especially with his rendition of my all time favourite Angin Malam . Another classic performance from Daniel that night I really missed that so much that I watched his Specs 6 video again the next day. He looked so 'wooing' sitting on a high stool, wif his guitar, in the darkness of the hall wif just a spotlight on him and rendering the ever beautiful and heartwarming Belaian Jiwa and Heaven Knows....so lum, so lum, so luuuuummmm. His Belaian Jiwa was hmmmm, oh so mesmerising. Just like what Paul Moss said, he kills us everytime he belts such romantic numbers ;D. Daniel, oh Daniel.
