MMusic event was a disaster.. all kidrock said was true… Man. I have been invited by my housemate and i accept for the sake of SAPS point.. and now.. im feel shame of myself for inviting kidrock to join this disastrous event. Sorry Kid.
I repost ur post kid.. so everyone should know..
In all my life becoming a Master of Ceremony ( EMCEE ) for an event, this was one of my worse ever.It just came unexpectedly.If possible, I don’t want to talk about it, hear about it or even remember a slightest bit of it. However, life must go on. So here, I’m going to completely bash this event. For those who are reading and you happen to be a MMusic member or involved in the event, member, highcom or even the president himself, if you feel offended about my post regarding your ‘great’ event, I apologize in advance.
On 29 August 2005, around 5pm, I receive a call from an unidentified number. I wonder who it was ? So, I answered my cell phone. To my surprise, it was Adib. Its quiet rare for him to call me, so I guess it must be something important he wanted to tell me or ask me. Then, he ask me this question, which left me hanging for a moment, “Boleh tak ko jadi MC untuk MMusic Cries for Independence ?” translate as “Can you become the MC for MMusic Cries for Independence ?”.I was so stunned that I couldn’t say a word for a second. At first I tried to reject him, because I didn’t want to get involve in big activities, but then he told me that there was no one else he could depend on. Since he is my friend and I just can’t simply abandon him, I decided to help him out. Then, when I ask him when was the event, I received another shocker. “Esok.” translate as “tomorrow.”ARRRGHHHHH !!! The event is tomorrow !!?!?!?I think I’m going to faint.The event is tomorrow and you’re telling me now ?????? This can’t be ! I can’t perform well if I don’t practice !! How do you expect me to practice if you gave me like only 30+ hours ??? I got other things to do too you know….>___
Great….The next day, I didn’t see Adib in the class. Super great. How am I going to practice ??????? Anyway, around 2pm, finally Adib showed up, and he gave me the program event. Great, another few more hours before the event, and I still haven’t practice. The event starts at 8pm, and I have only a few hours to practice. Around 6pm, after I finish my Data Structure class, I went home and start to do my last minute practice.I accidentally fell asleep around 7pm. However I got up back at 7.20pm. When I thinking about it, I regretted about the fact I woke up. Maybe I should have continued sleeping. Oh well, took my shower, prayed, then called Adib to pick me up, because I was worried that the event is already starting. Later, Adib arrived, and he drove me to MMU. He stopped at the back gate, and then I walked, proceeding to my….cries of embarrassment.
When I arrived at the Main Hall, they were still setting up. Then, I asked for some questions, like who’s the VIP for that night, etc. Then, I went to the toilet to gear up for the event. Around 8.30pm, the hall was already full, and our VIP ( Mr. Syukor, Assistant Director of STAD ) is nowhere to be seen. Bah, these VIP’s…Then, the president asked me to begin the event without Mr. Syukor. I hesitated, but then he told to do so, so I just followed his lead.The lateness of Mr. Syukor completely ruined my flow of thoughts. I already planned what to say, what jokes to crack, but since he came ‘early’, I panic, as I had no backup plan. I was so nervous, maybe because its the first time I’m speaking in the main hall ( quiet a number of times actually. XP ) So, my opening sucked. I could already sense that the crowd dislikes the way I conduct the event from the atmosphere of the hall.
Yeah, I sucked, I admit that. Fine, say whatever you want, I accept that. Anyway, the next part is the most embarrassing part of all the event.After the program Director gave his ‘long’ opening speech and a poem from someone I forgot the name, it was time for the bands performance. I couldn’t care less about the performance, so I just quickly announced the Name of the band, “Free of Nia”. Then, there was silent. I looked left and right at the side, and the crew told me (silently) that the band was that not here yet !!! WHAT THE HELL ????The best part of all, they asked me to crack some jokes to delay the crowd !!!!
WHHHHAAAATTTTT ?!?!?!?!?!Can you imagine that, the band wasn’t even there ??? What the hell is that ?? The embarrassing part was, I cracked a joke, but no body laugh. How embarrassing was THAT YOU TELL ME ????????? T.T I really felt like jumping for a third store building. Oh well, another band to over, and I was so embarrassed of what happen. You think that’s the end of it ? Hell no, there’s more to come. CARLOS, my ex-boss in SPB WAS THERE !!!!! T.T My classmate Eza was there, my HOUSEMATE FADZILI was there !!! Oh great….T.T
Another stupid thing is the lucky draw. Can you imagine, that they didn’t have numbers for the lucky draw ?????? They asked me to call number 555,666,777,888 and 999. What kind of wonderful lucky draw is that ???? In the end, they had to make the numbers, last minute work !!!!To me, all the performance that night sucked. Yeah, maybe because I don’t appreciate live rock songs or live performance or whatever, but too me the entire band sucks. A lot of technical errors, A LOT. All of it bored the crowd to death. Slowly, minute after minute, the number of people in the hall decreased. At the end of the show, the numbers of people were about 20-30 people, including the crew. Yeah, who wouldn’t go back after seeing a sucky event ?
Oh yeah, forgot to mention that Syukor arrived around 9.30pm, and make his leave around 10.30pm. Great eh ? The crowd was so little, that when I called for the numbers for lucky draw about 6 times, I didn’t hit any of the number. In the end, I had to find someone’s number who were still there, and took the number. Great right ???Free of Nia, who was supposed to perform at the beginning was pushed to the end. So, they were the last performance. I wonder how good they were, since they were so late. Turn of to be a pile of trash to me. This event was more like Battle of the Bands II. Its almost 12, and we are down to the last program for the event, countdown to Merdeka, where we will countdown to 12 and Sing the “Tanggal 31″ song. Guess what, there was still 5 minutes left ! Hahaha, great huh ? Anyway, they decided to close it anyway, since the crowd was so big, so even before 12pm, we ( I had to invite the crew to join me sing ) stupidly sang the merdeka song, where as it wasn’t even 12 o’clock.I quickly went out of the hall after it was all over. I just want to forget about the whole thing. I bet Carlos and the SPB guys are laughing and making fun of me, since they were there. Not too mention my friends and the people there. Oh well, I’ll accept it.
Anyway, from now one, I WILL NEVER, EEEEVVEEERR ACCEPT any program from MMusic, NEVER.I don’t even care they want or don’t want to give my SAPS points, I did that event for my friends sake, not them. Most of the crew weren’t nice, except for one guy, the vice president and Adib.
