Today's entry is about the show that all of us felt so lazy to perform. @MOSTI Putrajaya. we had to as it was a direct order from the Office's President. a paksa-rela show that i called (and maybe others) a Kenduri Kahwin kinda thing..feel so unclassy..so...err out of place.
All of us were late for the sound check and everything..including PB and me. it happened that err..something else cropped up the night before. M:A:J:O:R
so off we went feeling drowsy and throats aren't feeling any better.
@MOSTI
arrived as early as 10 ish, the crew have installed all the sound systems. i, as usual played dumb and acted pretty. what else to do? besides, the show will only start at 12. I only changed to my kebaya nyonya at 11:30 as the heat were simmering hot and sweaty. luckily i wore thin make up rather than my superstar look-a-like make over.
the show started with my Saloma's Selamat Aidilfitri which was fab. everybody clapped and cheered. then it dwindled to a mere stare..hahaha...i know. my throats are killing me. as if Ella's voice who tried in vain to render Seri Mersing..what worse was my rendering with Dato' in Kau Mawarku..huehue..i lost my face during that song plus other songs which i won't go into details. maybe my throat and maybe in the conciousness of feeling that my own uncle was watching me "menggelinjang-menggelinjang". yep that pretty loud mouth uncle who knows pretty well my family would bising if i sing...hey! like Malay Proverb, " Ke mana tumpahnya kuah kalau tak ke nasi?" my arwah atok used to be in a band too and he played accordion. so..in a way i have this art blood in me.

the show lasted until 4 ish which was way beyond the original schedule. we didn't expect that the show will be joined by one orang asli band from Rompin which performed the 60s songs and dangdut (ugh!). so after belting one last Doa Buat Kekasih with the band, Seiring Sejalan with Dato' again (accompanied by karaoke) the show was finallly over.
everybody loves Seiring Sejalan..cos it was groovy and we danced unshamely 70s styled..huehue..It rained heavily right after we wrapped up. it was fun! Somebody so dear to me accompanied me where ever i went and he was such a sweetie! While I were so busy looking and being a mandur to the soundcrew..
JJ came to us in the camp and begun chit chatting.. he even pat me in the back as if to say "good show!" he patted my back thrice! Some of my friends even said that he is with "that" nature - gatal..huehue..well it was worth our "malas" and nearly "merajuk". JJ came to me personally while i was with SS and FD..clutching few notes which i was afraid to look at..asking where was the Band Leader. the fact that Aznal already left us lots to Echo. So JJ said,"takpe I kasi kat org perempuan la sbb diorang ni lagi pandai simpan duit!" we were astounded and dumbfounded. looking at both FD and SS...looking at the notes..it was 5 purple-coloured notes altogether..!! huehue makan besarr..i was so happy! it was way beyond my wildest imagination. felt so appreciated and make all things worthwhile...so that was it. our first paid show..by JJ himself..kewl huh! all of us went back happily eventhough the rain poured down heavily...Bravo my band...i'm proud to be with all of you!! love my band! muaahhs!!
