Murphy's Law Owned the day
mlb:
Yea we're tired le..
Thank you for coming down today and staying through..
Another amazing day. More after the jump...
Yesterday night.. Nic went to 2 different locations' ATM - both NO CASH
Nic morn woke up late. Half hr late.
Went to find ATM again.. no cash still.
So gotta wait for a cob with NETS.
2pm supposed meet the WQ and Sam, in the end 2.30 met.
Pick up time was 3.30.
So 1 hr left to setup and test run our entire RIG.
Borrowed 10 bucks from WQ to eat and buy kopi.
Guitar's M-Audio sound card couldn't detect Nic's guitar signal - no guitar, no sound.
Troubleshoot but to no avail.
Time check 3.15.
WQ face turned blue(plus little sleep and school crunch time).
Sam duno what to do. Wanted go home to take his same model sound card.
But could be software issue or Windows issue,
WQ tried to download the drivers to reinstall, but already up to date.
Nic went into escapism - dun want to do the gig le. Haha..
Nic came up with an idea.
Bypassed sound card direct into Guitar rig pedal.
Pick up to VIVO.
Sam had church commitments.
WQ and Nic arrived at VIVO
Soundcheck a silent soundless one. (and the most ‘polite’ sound man we ever met)
Check line. No balancing of volume of individual instruments.
No testing of mics.
Soundcheck overan by 45 min - sound ppl couldn't be bothered with us as we were an extra nuisance and trouble to them (Last min planned performance)
Late for makeup and hair at Icon ‘by Shunji Matsuo’. Late by 40 min.
After this supposed to pick up Sam.
Our bus was late.
Supposed to be at VIVO at 6.45.
Sam to take cab down straight.
Nic & WQ strip tease in the van.
Sam reached VIVO.
WQ & Nic Stuck in a jam at keppel.
Sam to do interviews and sing 3 songs(impromptu) to drag time.
Meanwhile WeiQi and Nic in bus guessing what song Sam is singing..
“Tian shi juan lian??? Or ShiYing? Or or.. maybe? Etc.. LOL...” and the bus is stationary due to traffic.
Time check 7.10.
WQ and Nic (and our dear and strong Veron) alighted the bus took a 10 min brisk walk/run into VIVO.
Sam relieved to see 2 bros arrive.
Setup up equipment.
WQ restart com 2 times - because soundcard "never makan the mac"
At one point of time Nic said “ WeiQi rmbr to sing hor”
The joke is, WeiQi was stoning...and he would have really forgotten to sing if not for Nic’s sentence.
Oh boy... happening day.
But hey, you all enjoyed the performance right? :p
Got photos once again... but WeiQi ah WeiQi... when u posting? Haha.. kiddin.
Mlbians came down even though last minute... steady la...
After gig, Nic got urgent family matters, had to run.
Samboy and AhQi go eat dinner le.
Unforgettable night for Nic.
Unforgettable night for Sam.
Unforgettable night for WeiQi.
Good experience ba. Haha.
