National band competition 2009

Went to Johor Pasir Gudang to watch nationals last week with a bunch of KLPAC friends and vote band people..

Departed at saturday evening, reach there bout 10pm..

Had supper with everyone in our group, and kena bully kao kao coz i'm real excited about the competition.. Haiyah you guys wont understand lah! ><

Was waiting on bed for someone's morning call but end up that someone only phoned my by 630am.. *cough cough* Thought I was being forgotten edi.. Hahaha...

Reached stadium by 7++.. Damn early but just in time to see all the bands warm up.. Of course, while scanning around for familiar faces xP

Competition was awesome... Asma was PERFECT beyond description.. I never saw malaysia band comp audiences soooo discipline before.. Not a pin drop of sound was heard except for the great part.. Wow..

Gotta mention about St Joseph as well.. They improved a lot compared to state level and the show was really really good! Chung hwa wei sin got great impact too, enjoyed it lots.. Sam tet's formation real clean, but too bad i was not in front view, cant comment much bout it..

How much tears had wasted that day...... Blimley... Cant imagine...

Anyway, stop blaming other bands lah... Every member had put in lots of effort in this competition. Sweat and blood involved, now because of the result they get the flaming?? Blame the judges for being too blind to choose the best bands out of them, not the members who have passion and commitment for marching and music, and had did their best for the competition.

St Joseph, you guys had indeed showed the whole malaysia a very different and creative show.. I believe everyone of you had done your best. I love the whole show and enjoyed every single bit of it. No matter how bad was the result, we all know you guys deserve much better than this. =) Ora et labora!

Sam Tet, congratz yea.. And stay strong no matter what the others say about you guys. Work harder for the next competition and prove to everyone who'd flamed you guys that you guys are best among the best. Hugs! Gambateh!

Finally, to the worthy champion, Sultanah Asma.. No doubt you guys are the best among all.. Cant wait to see what's next from you guys.. Congratulations! =D
