OF FLASHMOBS AND LAUNCHES..

The day started super early. Fendy and me fought early morning traffic and got to Low Yat at 9.30 am for a dry run with the client. Since we have had a few practice sessions before the demo was satisfactoy and we were quickly dismissed. We broke into two groups, some prefer to have their breakfast at the Mamak Place nearby but Izz, Alvin, Caryn, Fendy (later joined by Aishah) and me went to the Bukit Bintang McDonalds. I only had a Milo because I had just finished my bread on the way there.

 

We had a final practice session in MBf and got ready for the event. We took the monorail and stopped at Jalan Imbi. We were among the first to get to the Tune Store in Plaza Low Yat. After briefed by the client, we picked up our picket boards (Mine reads I LOVE PARK JI SUNG) and went around the ground floor of the plaza. Yup, not only do we have to dance, but the client asked us to stir a hype to get the crowds' interest piqued. So there we were walking around, inside and outside of the place and then we had an idea of doing a freeze mob. We were going around in 4-5 people at a time and one would yell out A E I O U with everyone going still for as long as we can at the last vowel. That really got the people interested. Some even took pictures and videos!! It was definitely fun but kinda embarassing.

 

The flasmob started proper when the VIPs arrived. We lingered around the area and when the music started, BAMM..!! Beat It and Chocolate all the way from the entrance to the escalator. Everyone seem to enjoy the performance (video) and we reconvened at the Tune Store for last confirmation and nods from the clients.

 

Then, Zul came and fetched me from Low Yat and I rested a bit at his office. Unfortunately he was a bit busy so I had my first actual meal of the day with Kevin at the Signatures Food Court, the usual Olio with extra spaghetti. We headed to Setia City Mall listening to BodyJam 64 music all the way there. We got there one hour earlier so after solat I went down to get some Chatime for some sugar rush. I need ENERGY..!! Then I changed into my DREAMS shirt and lo and behold MY SAYANG CAME all the way from KL..!! Highlight of my day.. Smiles.. :))

 

I was uber excited because this was my first honest-to-goodness launch with none other than my bestie Kevin with Faiz shadowing us. The BodyJam 64 launch was awesome..!! We took pictures before we started being all sweaty. We hoped all of them enjoyed the class and had a good workout. We gave away some prizes at the end of the class and took more pictures.

 

So, that's everything. A day packed with dance from morning till night. I'm a happy girl.

 

p/s- Happy Birthday to my BodyJam mentor Stephen..!! Stay cute and best of luck in life.

HARLEM SHAKE

I got a call from Amalina approximately 6 days before the actual event. We discussed mostly online and only got together with the typo gang for one practice session. Most of us were also part of flashmob that took place a few days after so on the day we met at MBf for practice. Then we went to have lunch at Signatures KLCC. I had Spaghetti Bolognaise.. Yummeh..

 

Then Zul and me Went to pick up Kevin in Setia City Mall. We bought some GongCha, some ChaTime and some Krispy Kreme.. Yummeh.. The others went to the awesome BodyJam 64 launch at Avenue K with Uchop and Zarina.. I am very jealous.. Then all of us met up at the Sg Besi toll and headed to the Equatorial Hotel in Bangi.

 

We were supposed to come earlier for a dry run through but because of the heavy rain we reached there at 6.15pm.. We had some practice while waiting for our room to get ready. Incidentally, that was the first time the whole crew got to hear the whole song.. Very the last in the minute one.. Haih.. After we got our room key, we went up to rest a bit and then came down to the Ballroom for dinner. I also wanted to check out the stage and crowd. The food was super nice. Alvin, Kevin and Caryn even got some good wine. Then we washed up and got ready by 10.

 

Our performance was at the very end of the night supposedly as a closing performance. And just our luck, the DJ played the wrong track, so it was not as practiced. We were joined by a few schoolgirls who performed earlier that night. The performance was a bit blegh because we were caught off guard with the song change but the gang sem to not mind and kept on dancing. (video)FOUR THUMBS UP to you guys..!!

 

In the end, all of us had fun. Even though I was a bit disappointed because the show could have been better I am very thankful to my friends for pulling through and showing their commitment to the show at such a short notice. Luv all of you guys. Mmuacks..!! All in all, another great night by the Typo Gang.

 

p/s-I was also disappointed that I didn't get to meet Hannan..!! Haha..
