Speaking on behalf of MLB so dun mind the crudeness of it all.
Firstly.
Thanks for coming down (some who even "Gan Chang")
You guys added on to the fun by much which was already fun.
We saw the banners.
Heard the shouts.
Felt the hearts.
Thanks to all the people following us helping us along the way, doing our makeup and air... OUR SOUND!!! very important soundmen YES!!!
MR JY! (our new techy (but old time) friend to help up setup and tear down stage fast)
ANd 2.... JASMINE & VERON!! follow us run ard like mad dawgs! Shag de leh..
(applause intended. pls clap lei.. dun "leng chang hor") pui!
Now the interesting part. a rundown of MLB's day, today.
After a long day previously (not posted, if not this post gonna take me till daylight to complete)
12pm meet at church
1230pm pickup to boonlay
1pm reach boonlay for soundcheck.
Now the more interesting part.
1pm is HARD noon. Sun the hottest and brightest. Tentage is like a greenhouse (go research that.. interesting how the design traps heat).
Soundcheck starts.
Perspiring like dogs or hotdogs if u may.
Setup all sui sui. or we think. no prob for first 30 min while waiting for drums to finish mic testing by sound ppl.
They ssay test our lines. At last. Hotdogs become boiled dogs. sweat (water) plus heat.
Keyboard dead. Eg. The "browser" on the keyboard menu appeared differently ....as "Bro"
We know we're bro la but no need like that pls. No need emphasize details at wrong important, crucial events like a freakin sondcheck!
Keyboard now cant connect to mac. no sound. (Mac keep prompting us... "HUI device not found")
HUI aint really know what it means... maybe "Highly Useful Instrument"
Highly Useles instrument? Nah.. It's "Da bomb" Rated online as one of the best... got great awards. Should be ok de.
We "Gioh tolang" to the keyboard.
No kneeling incense involved though.
It still called us "bro"
Brother dun like that now lei...
230pm gave up on the keyboard's "speech impediment. "Bro."
Check guitars then.
Guitar behaved like a snake... lotsa weird noises.
some of which include hissing and "chak chak chak chak chak" at a constant tempo. "ssssssss" like snake... rattle snake to be exact. Youtube a rattle snake. That was our soundcheck for it. Yay.
I know we got constant drummer but aint need competition pls. friendly de. wth.
soundman say may be 2 issues.
1)power source dirty. Highly possible. Generators not constant.
he say happen lotsa times to him before.. but gotta replace generators one day before hand.
We cant countdown 1st to the 2nd of Jan. Don't think organisers would like that yes?
2)might be the heat (which we 20 min before this aga aga think it might be heatstroke for the keyboard)
Bo pian. Keyboard UK brand... temperate climate... like asking eskimo come India to suntan.
WQ brought keyboards down. We packed up. He tested it under the shade and ran whole setup on battery power.
Wala! It called us "browser" at last.
Love the name.
Details cut short, we didnt have a soundcheck. The other performers had to soundcheck too... they were on a tight schedule.
We can't say OI!!!! MLB here... we want to ******** soundcheck!
We all good boy ma... so bo pian just bo heng sueh agaration check got line then run off.
suppose to reach church at 330pm to relak and practice.
Time check. 4pm.
So go church wait for the pickup at 5pm to vivo. make-up at 6pm.
ok then we run!!!!
Load up bus Chao.
Uncle drives.
after 15 min plus.. We see West coast high way.
Then Haw Par Villa. Wah.
Jurong go to the EAST side turn 1 BIG round go towards harbourfront.
Ask uncle why...
Reply "PIE may traffic jam".
HELLLOOOOOOO!!!!!! New year eve is not public Holiday lei!!!! No jam de lor!! people mostly still in office till 6 odd then rush hr!!!!
in the end sua... no nice cosy place to wash face and all...
Vivo sua.
So we make our way (which is along the way) to vivo.
Uncle can turn to vivo dun wan. Say cannot... road block le (actually is just they change the structure of lanes)
go big round to u-turn.
The rest of the day was quite ok.
Except that...
1035pm "cheng shu" perform at vivo...
1038pm end...
Pack up... (hey hey... we packed up in 4 min with a help of our techy friend! MR JY)
Load up bus...
1130 suppose perform at boonlay.
Heng no traffic Jam... (uncle ar... at night no jam afternoon have meh?)
EH!! no... different bus driver.. our favourite Mr AH TECK!!! this one steady one... fast driver (traffic rules apply still.. but optimum efficiency zhai!)
*side note.. afternoon the driver.. (dont know his name.. at that point didnt want to yes..) expressway drive 50km per hour. Equally zhai.. motto of life. SLOW AND STEADY WINS THE RACE (but maybe we 3 lose our jobs la.. dunno what race... but anyway...)
BOONLAY.
Alighted fast.. setup fast.. wait for cue to go stage setup.
Host all amazing.
CROWD ahpuchichi AMAZING. 3 times the size of Vivo...
Screams (of coz u guyz credited) shiok sendiri.
Cant hear our voice AT ALL ON STAGE.
Ask soundman level up but think we too far away cant see our hand signals.
BO PIAN. Asian boy body small hand short. signals hard to see... Unless got binoculars then maybe la hor...
Say on mic.. think cant hear also... coz they maybe cant hear the mics also.
Aiya.. what to do... all of us and the people there trying their best to make the performance a good one... but stars dun align.
Heng the moons did though!
Got pyro on stage lei...
Almost got Sun tan...
ZHAI. no need go tanning salon for "nic the white chicken" already.
2 songs done.
Lotsa sweat in nic's eyes.
pain pain.
shiok shiok.
WQ moved on stage as if he on caffeine pills.. hyper sia.. happening.
Countdown.
Wah.. hdb upstairs lotsa ppl looking down too!!!
Shiok sendiri (x2)
Go backstage.. leftover pack up by our amazing MR JY!!!!
rush to bus.
RAN our legs out!!!! Got hordes of people running behind us!
Felt like macham backside erhem! backstreet boys (no offence.. my childhood heros meant as a joke dont sue me thanks) got supporters chasing sia..
Macham Andy Lau at airport..wohoooo!! fun! we run faster... they run faster-er... we tired le la.. pan chance thanks thanks.
Bus drop nic at jurong first.
shouted lke mad man "HAPPY NEW YEAR! WOHHHOOO!!"
Ten minutes later called WQ.
WALLET LOST.
Sian by half (translate hokkien thanks)
Drive back...
All sit in bus.. parked at bus stop.. Veron and Jasmine calling the whole world.
Call previos bus uncles check.
Uncle traffic Jam cant go out the bus to check back seat.
Vivo people all nvr ans ph... just after countdown all busy evacuating.
Nic leaves sad.
Bus Leaves faster than the sadness can tear through his pig skin heart (what that means i duno. pigs just came to my mind at this moment)
WQ passses 50 buck to nic "for just in case"
20 min later Nic gets phone call.
All in the bus on speaker phobne shouting "HAPPY NEW YEAR!"
You guys know the ending i guess...
But nic till now no wallet yet.
Guess ba.
(Veron Heroine)
Abstract ending.. but it'll all make sense.
FORGIVE me for Garamaticurl errors. tired le..
Just wanted to type for you guys...

World Peace!!! ^_^\/
Yes, I will definitely support MLB for many more years. No, not many more years but all the way (unless MLB decided to stop producing good music someday).
Congrats MLB for:
1) Cheng Shu not only was one of the Top 8 mandarin songs during last night countdown event. Cheng Shu was rated No. 54 for the Top 100 songs of the year (2008) for Yes933 radio station.
2) MLB was rated No. 8 in the Top 10 Group/Band of the year (2008) for Yes933 radio station.
Hope 2009 will be a very better year for MLB.
My Wish for MLB:
1) MLB will has their 1st ever concert in Singapore soon.
2) MLB will promotes their great music to all other countries that have people enjoying Mandarin songs, especially: Taiwan, Hongkong, China, Japan, Malaysia, Indonesia & etc.
MLB Jia-you... MLB Power-Lah...
O... Nic,
Hope you don't have any important personal thingy in your wallet. Wish you are able to get back whatever that are lost. Take care & be more alert.
Heh, think I missed out a lot of fun yah?? the rush hour, the missing wallet and WQ's hyper action on stage. Must be really fun. Too bad that I couldn't go anywhere that day. Gotta work till late night even though my official knock off time is 2pm. Bo bian... its year end. Some even have to work 48 hours non-stop. But didn't miss out the fireworks, even though I can only see a little, from the shore of the other side (JB lah of course!). Busy but quiet new yr eve :D
Btw Mr Lee, 31st many ppl knock off early hor... so it is 100% guarantee + chop that the road to city will be jam. Everyone rush to get a place in the countdown parties. Your lost of wallet remind me of the case happened to me 2.5 years ago. Remember the memory cards I lost in Police Academy?
Ur hem... Attention everyone, if anyone or someone has found Nic's wallet, please kindly return to the poor guy. Just leave your footprints here and nic will get back to you very soon!!!
And oh, btw, Happy new year to ALL!!
harpi Neu ear!
lame.
i notice that every end of the year, i.e. 31stdec, i will be v low batt.
so, dun care no fireworks.
nvm, no crowd.
no countdown, nvm. i count sheep...in my zzzZZZ.
ya. i'm a bored.
lost wallet? got explicit fotos inside or not?
darn. i'm very free for the next 2 weeks. how to kill time?
got gigs or not? got, i sure go.
harpi harpi neu ear!!!
ZIMIN MINIZ | 02 January, 2009 22:11
Hahahas, I heard you guys talk on stage. I was there one the second level of the HDB flat. Hahahas, SCREAMING for you guys too. Anyway, you guys are really charming.I was standing at the stairs when you all leave and all your fans RAN behind you all. Nic, weiqi then sam. Hahahas, I never see you guy live before coz I short so I can't go those kind of 签唱会, confirm kanna blocked. But I was overjoyed when you are said BUHBYE to me.
May you guys be blessed for the year 2009.
Talked to Nic just now and he said he blogged a long one aft count-down, so came in to have a look. May I just add in another classic case of this driver uncle in the afternoon of 31 Dec. . . .
Picked me up from East to Boon Lay at 10pm, supposingly at 9.30pm (yap. 30 mins late Mr driver uncle... cause lost his way driving here ...).
Introducing new route from driver uncle to "rush/dash/chiong" to Boon Lay >>>>
via ECP / AYE !!!!
Yes, no kidding... I actually had a chance to glimpse at the Marina countdown...
Asked driver uncle why the route, he said PIE jam. How can PIE & not ECP jam in less than 2 hours before countdown???? herh?!. . . . At 50kmh speed @ highway.... He won liao.
Reached Boon Lay finally, uncle still wanted to exercise his final empowering skill... saw police barricades in front and made a u-turn promptly, asked why, uncle said road block by Police cannot go thru... BUT HE WAS THE OFFICIAL TRANSPORT WITH PASS mah!!!!! Aiyoh! Another merry go round enroute again, this time within Boon Lay itself.
I was still in the van when dear Veron called me to update that you all were already on the way to Boon Lay liao. Time checked 11.10pm then.
Just wanted to share this experience with everyone... since Nic was harvesting at it.
This uncle has created a classic and legend for himself called "Master of Singapore Expressway". Take heed.
Period.
hey hey... a quick lil update..
