day 10 – gala night at Tunku, KLPac

i was excited when Fang called up and say, hey you wanna watch Tunku? i was like…sure! been wanting to watch that, when? then she goes….this Wednesday, i’ve got tickets….and its gala night…..its formal!Β  and the prime minister is going to be there too!

and so first thing i thought of is ika, serena c and pietro! building castles in the air, i thought i might have a chance to take a personal picture with Pak Lah himself!

so anyways, the night was last night! suddenly panic attack..because upon arriving there, there were police and datuk-datuk, datin-datin all there……this has to be my MOST embarrassing night. Seriously, i was looking at the cardboard in my car and was contemplating whether or not to bring it down. imagine how awful i will look????

after braving myself for 5 mins, juan you can do this. no one will remember you anyway! i brought it out, walked towards the entrance and already ppl were staring at me. i was soooo embarassed that i was hiding behing ISP and even have them facing me instead of the crowd. meaning the crowd is just seeing this while board floating in the air!

but my fears went away, when a very nice man approached me. He walked pass me and saw the cardboard and say, dear, u deserve to win! i smiled. THANK YOU!!!! and i told him, i’m soo soo embarassed. i dunno how i can braved myself to walk in! then he goes, no! you shouldnt! you are doing a great job! then there was this photographer near us, and he goes, come lets take a picture and get the photographer to take a picture of us and say, she deserves to win! phew~ i was relieved.

^this is the man that gave me the confidence!

after having some trouble getting my tickets cause they were no where to be found, Dato faridah Merican came and helped me got my tickets. shes such a lovely lady and i dont mind working under her and a thing or two!

as it was about time to get into the theater, i had to leave the ISP somewhere and not block everyone’s view to the show. there were few things going on before the show starts. some speech here and there then there was news that the PM cud not make it….but we have MEL GIBSON in the house! woots!

the show was awesome and my eyes went teary when the character “Syed’s son” died. *sob sob*

once again, my sincere thanks to Fang and everyone for taking the time to “layan” me.

place with listeners?

its been 7 days. and after being to quite a number of places over the week i actually came up with a simple conclusion.

1) theres not much use going to places that dont listen to mix.fm, they dun care what you were carrying.

2) we must know our right target audience

3) 1Utama, The Curve, Mid Valley and Amcorp has most mix.fm listeners.

4) KL Sentral is a big no-no

* * *

and ohh~ Mix.fm is seeing my blog

and latest update…im getting 90 hits per day! πŸ˜€

see you guys there?

day 5 – MERDEKA! MERDEKA! MERDEKA!

was suppose to wake up at 5.45 am to beat the jam and goto Dataran Merdeka, but i suppose sleep took my brains over and i woke up at 8.30am instead. my body was still tired coz the night before, after the party at the curve, i did some props for Merdeka.

i prepared a bunting to get more attention cause after waving my cardboards in the air at the curve the night before, i realized that….hey, if my cardboard went on TV, my face is freaking too small for anyone to recognize! thats nooooo good.

so i spent some money, got the bunting up and went to Dataran Merdeka at 10am. haha, when people are leaving, i was walking in, it was still happening as i was walking in πŸ™‚

^ teamwork. we are going to share the money. 2 cardboards are better than 1 right?

^ mr malaysia flag was cool ~

day 4 – merdeka eve @ the curve

after a lovely dinner at D’Tandoor with my good buddies, we headed to The Curve.

not knowing that Serena C was actually gonna be there, we jam thru the way and got a parking at a road side. we also noticed that there were about 2 to 4 other contestants out there and we were all waving frantically up in the air trying to get as much attention as possible….below are some pictures~

^ thanks to the help of these 2 lovely ladies, we got thru the crowd~

^awfully tired fighting with the crowd…..i got a little cranky

next stop : IKEA

IKEA….here i come ~

* * *

boo hoo hoo…i just came back form IKEA / IKANO. before i could step foot into IKEA…….going up the escalator, a woman shouted out to me..STOP! i’m sorry miss, we cant allow you to go in….

me : why not??!

miss ikea : because we are affliated with Alliance Bank and you are carrying RHB promo around

me : oh…i’m so sorry…i never realized that!

well, i respect ppl’s property and all this advertising shit la…coz i myself am a victim to the advertising industry, so yeah, the lady was nice and friendly enough to escort me all the way to IKANO and i had lunch at Uncle Lim’s instead.Β  but as usual, malaysians are either…not friendly or shy or they just dont know whats going on! ah well….~
