Firstly, when we reached mediacorp, as u all know, we were in Jasmin's car. We had to go straight to work(setting up equipment and do make up, hair and get dressed) because we were going to kai chang(open the show). I suggested to the guys that we go to the radio gate after our make up and hair was done but by the time we were done and we wanted to come out, we were informed that the audience were already moving in and were at the car park...so we figured that u guys would already be in the studio.
Later @ night, i guess u all saw that 'gan chiong' face of mine, cos i had to make sure the keyboard could be heard(there was an issue with the keyboard, thank God it worked eventually) so i was shouting to the sound men to let me know if they were receiving a signal(such an issue is really due to an event such as SB, because there are so many bands, and u have to move the equipment band after band chop chop, fyi our segment, cheng shu, only had a 2 min interval!!!)... and then sway sway, nic couldn't hear the timing from sam, and thus both were playing on a different beat, thus i HAD to stop the song and restart. so i had a double heart attack...
thankfully, both nic and sam reacted really calmly to the situation.(i'm glad that i haven't got a complaint sms from production team for this hiccup..glad that they understand)
Then we had that horrible interview whereby i couldn't hear what Zhen Rong was asking(but after watching the replay,i found out that the question was directed to sam not me) and i had to answer out of the blues when @ backstage our manager already briefed us that i would not speak tonight and that there are 2 mics, so 1 for nic, 1 for sam... damn it, caught off guard. I didn't even know the question in the 1st place... so paiseh...
Then, we packed all our stuff and got up the van. Nic took another person's car cos it was on the way to boonlay more shun lu. Now as the van approached the radio gate, I asked the in-charge(to the in-charge: pls don get offended by this post, i have nothing against your decision, just that i feel very sad and have to write out how i'm feeling and i owe the mlbians an explanation at least, no offence to u ya?) that we alight for a while to talk to u guys(in fact i already told the driver to stop for a while) but orders from above and beside were to proceed on. I was very upset..saddened by this move, because usually i will make sure that we get down, but this time i was on my own so i got overwritten. Regarding this issue, it's kinda sensitive, cos there's no right/wrong, there are a lot of reasons for/against coming out of the van to meet all of u. I understand and respect this fact, but my view has always been the same, don't want to view you all as fans, but the whole bunch as a big warm family (I love how we try our best to give each other the mutual respect to create a kong jian for closer communication). Still, i gotta say sorry, that despite all the effort and time u mlbians put in today, we didn't get to just chat. That's why i had a YU GAN, and i asked the guys to gather near the moshpit, if u all rmbr, wanted u all to get some photos at least in case of any unfortunate incident..like tonight... :(
p.s. to those who were shouting our names and if we didn't look at u it's not cos we dao k? :p It's cos time was tight and we had to tweak our settings because they were always screwed up due to plugging in and out of wires..
thank you all, for making the effort to come down,to prepare those shiny boards(so niceee!!!), to learn the songs and sing along, to wait outside the radiogate not knowing what time we'll come and whether we'll be able to chat for a while. Rest assured that I'll always, as least, ask that the bus stops. but if it doesn't then i'll have to go through this sad thing again.. :(
Gotta face the world tomorrow again as i transform back to my other role of a student. Hope u all understand..i really wish that i didn't need to dampen spirits here..no such intention. Just sharing how i feel with my extended family. Take care peeps. Goodnite to all of you.
thanks for reminding me LK, when i say family, i'm refering to ALL mlbians, whether present or not tonite (becos tics are hard to get and schedules are never easy to match). see u all on saturday ba..
[fyi...]Also there was another hiccup...in fact 2 more... when we were unloading the equipment after we left MDC, we couldn't find our mixer! so we rushed back to MDC and xing kui TVT's B4 door was still unlocked and the box was sitting in the corner where we left it :(
Also, one of our colleagues was holding on to a mesh cap but when we were leaving she passed it to me and i was like,"eh? mickey mouse cap? that's not mine leh.." jialat... but after thinking for a while, i figured it must have been diya's! not mine! she made a little mistake la.. so gao xiao, and called diya up to double confirm..diya sounded happy on the phone.
hey, u sound so affected by that incident.. wasnt there to wait for ya guys after the show cuz i was waiting for someone else.. but it's okay, really. we understand. it's not the first time based on past experience, and it's definitely not to ur control about whether u guys get to stop n talk to us anot.. [unless u're the one driving la...] so.. dont think so much about it, no problem with us alright? we're alr contended seeing ya guys on stage, getting to talk to ya guys privately is perhaps jus a bonus..(:
couldnt hear the interview properly from right infront either.. that's the bad point about moshpit.. so actually i didnt know what u guys were talking about on stage too.
saw ur super gan chiong face when u guys started and there were some problems.. such problems hard to avoid.. esp for bands ba.. but ya guys definitely did ur best, that's smth we all know..
been long since i tagged.. but it's great hearing u guys perform again.. and definitely the other bands, & guest bands @ the show. great night of music..
dont feel so emo ya? smile.. (: & dont be so bothered by all the issues from the night.. it's supposed to be a happy night~ && being a student's what evryone goes thru, so jiayou!~
cheerios.... ^^

and i saw some info somewhere that you guys might be performing at...as in, that might fill the blank for 4th nov TBC or 9th nov TBC ba...BUT THERE WASN'T ANY DETAILS LEH (so i guess i also won't reveal much first...guess thats why its TBC?)hope it won't be cancelled luh. 4th nov is on a Tuesday that i'm usually free. 9th nov is on sunday, shouldn't be a problem taking off...*hope for the best*...ok i'm just talking to myself....

Sam Wong | 07 October, 2008 00:07
Thank you gals for speaking up for me. I believe there'll be changes in our thinking and behaviour as time passes, its part of growing up. Its the same for me. And its true that i don't really smile. I acknowledge what this supporter said about me, and it doesn't feel good to hear that. However, everyone has different opinions.. Goodnight ppl.
Sorry MLB, I was not there yesterday night. But, I am supporting you guys at home.
weiqi,
Though I am not there, but I am very sure that MLBians were understand the problems you guys are facing. We, MLBians will definitely not blame or angry with such a thing. As I mentinoed at the previous post, MLB had put up a great show, I also feeling high watching from tv. Great Job...
Just my own opinion, Sam is not a "hao-lian" artiste at all. Infact, he is very friendly & to be frank he always respect me as an uncle lor. I remember at times, he would told those teenage girls to give me a chance to take photo with him 1st. And I still remember, he greeted me Happy Birthday from a distance away with a handshake nearly a year ago, when they were performing at Suntec.
So, I can be very sure 100% sure that Sam is not "hao-lian" at all.
The performance last night was great!
Just that I was caught in surprised when I saw MLB on the stage instead of Beyond. In my heart was "OMG! how cld the boys get the equipmt ready within the 1mins+ commercial break!?!?!" "Alamak! how come no host does some speechs first?!?"
Then next minute was filled with puzzles "i tot i wld b hearing the opening of 泪, just the same as the CD?" "oh no! equipment gotta faulty???"
Luckily, all went smoothly with the funniest interviews. eg Nic: those colours light bulbs "twink-twink"
See u all on this SAT's event.
hahaha...because true friend cares, they will tell you your mistake. Ourselves being a true friend as well, won't feel good listening to the honest feedbacks BUT, will still acknowledge and won't blame him/her at all ba. hee.
haha got misunderstanding, talk things out better...
well lets be the best that we can be ba, also not losing ourselves at the same time...
don't know what i'm talking sia. so sian.
milubing jia you!! but take care ok? hehe
Ppl hav eyes..they can see.. they hav ears..they can hear.. let them decide for themselves if sam is hao lian or not, dun say that u think he is hao lian..or that u 'know' that he is humble jus bcos he rmbred ur bday.All this is based on the little that u know bout him.If u r a close friend of his,like dasmond,then u hav a right to comment.otherwise,if u say he is hao lian,and if he really is,then he will be careful from now on and try to hide his hao lianess,which only makes him an uglier person.so pls,give him his space to be who he is,and keep it to yourself.If he is really not hao lian,his 2 brods will speak up for him eventually.peace.
changes cant be avoided.. everyone changes over time. all three boys have changed, so have us supporters. whether good or bad, it's up to the individual to judge. what will life be if everything stays stagnant and there're no changes?
i think it's plainly unfair to judge a person by just one event, especially not knowing him or her well. nobody owes anybody else any explanation for acting the way they are..
enough said, shouldn't we put this down and move on? there's so much more to life we can take note of, rather than putting so much focus on something that isn't so important? let's all forget about this incident and move on..
everyone will change, it's more important that we change and become a better man.
Hi All,
''Hao Lian''??
What happened to people respecting each other and accepting other peoples beliefs? i wish people would just think twice before they make that nasty comment about someone.
I just want people to understand what judging does and that you shouldn't judge people you don't know. I have opinions. You have opinions. But you can't really have an opinion on something or someone if you don't even know them.
Personally, I think it people love to judge (to some extent) mainly because a lot of things are expressed on our exterior. Take for example, people with self-confidence exude that image by taking care in what they look like (ie grooming,looking). Other things though, like someone saying "Oh, that girl is ugly" is just wrong, and is probably just said by a mean-spirited or jealous person.
it is usually a person's own fault. First impressions are very powerful things, and it is hard to break them..
So keep your comment to yourself if you do have it. =]
Once again saying Sam is not Hao Lian. Sam Don't take it to heart. Anyway God Still Love you! GBU.
hello..
yea the performance that nite sounded a bit off.. just a bit..
but still love the new single.
and at least u bother to explain to everyone else with regards to that nite..
not a huge fan of MLB, but i do like ur music.
will be getting the new album soon(shld be later on during the evening or smth)..
All the best yoh~

i was at home watching SB2, didnt noe so many things happened..dun worry weiqi, the performance was still great!!
anyway, sam is not hao lian.. from wat i noe..and sam,dun be affected by the comment!!u live fer urself not fer others..jiayo sam, dun be sad..kays ? smilezz :DDD
sam jiayo!! milubing jiayo!!
wow.
that was quite an 'adventure'. i wouldnt have expected all these to happen when i watched the show at home. everything looked... almost perfect for you guys...
although i wasnt there to witness all these, i can still feel the disappointment in the fans(your family). but i bet they understand as much as you wish them too. so no worries weiqi! smile~ :]
and regarding zhenrong's question... yah, it was kind of obvious that you didnt catch his questions. but uhm, it would definitely be difficult for one to react that fast when a mic appeared infront of you so suddenly. i bet if i were you, my reaction would be damn big. like "URGGGH. WHAT!?" and stare at zhenrong with big big eyes. haha. so... in fact, you reacted calmly already. its not your fault anyway. since the manager already said that you wouldnt be speaking tonight.[but why ar?! i seriously think you should speak more in this kind of events... sigh.]
anyway, you have done your best already. maybe its just that you dont have much luck today. ITS OKAY! i blame my luck all the time whenever i gets pissed. HAHA. andand, you really tried to compensate for everything right? thats mroe than enough for all mlbians to understand your situation and forgive you already!
also also, if you really treat them as one big warm family, dont feel sorry anymore! ;]
okay, so nownow, ITS OVER ALREADY! ITS OVER ALREADY! dont get upset anymore. you had a hard time already, rest well and dont worry anymore!
smile, smile, smile......
and ahem, you do treat those who werent there as a family too right? *ahem* *ahem* haha.
