Siemens Run 2006
It was a real fun day... It was the Siemens Run 2006, and Farah asked to come along to support. She did mention that this event meant a lot to her, so I did what I could to encourage the other Farahnatics to come, as well as friends... It started really early. Had to get up at 5am, because I had a number of people to fetch along the way. Had a drink, and we're on our way. My mum and bros followed behind in another car. My mum insisted we took another car in case... The whole family wore blue, in support of Farah. Fetched Priest 1st at his house at USJ Subang. 6.45am. Then straight to Kelana Jaya Putra LRT station to fetch LeOn. We were slightly behind schedule by then. After fetching LeOn at circa 7.10am, went to fetch Ivy at Damansara Jaya. Bout 7.15am. Note that I'm keeping track of each pit stop time... Last stop was Bangsar Putra LRT station to fetch Ulee. Then we were on our way to Dataran Merdeka. We were a lil late, but we still managed to get in. Parked at my mum's office across the road, then joined the Farahnatics who were there.
Met Farah soon after that, she was dressed red from head to toe, with a red cap, red jacket and red pants... wow. She was real cool! If only I could join too... the registration was closed really early, so we all didn't manage to make it. But we ran alongside her anyways! Ha..ha... Priest caught up with her as soon as she started, I was left a lil at the back with the rest of the Farahnatics. I guess maybe most of them can't really run. So halfway thru, we crossed the road and waited for her at the side of the road. Then she came hopping by with Priest. It was so funny I napped a few shots while LeOn and my bro recorded videos... After that that's when me and LeOn decided to run and catch up with her. She was real fast at times... well, she was a fast runner, i experienced it before at Genting. Hehehe... Ran all the way to the finish line, which was roughly a kilometre...
After that she was all sweaty and exhausted, and she had a blister on her foot, due to not wearing socks (they weren't comfortable she said) but she kept on running despite all that... Oh ya, there were so many cool and funny outfits there. There was a bright round clown, a butterfly, a batman or something, various funny heroes and characters and the cute lil children! And there was also a whole family of dalmations... wow. No wonder there weren't any spaces left. Farah stood behind the water fan to cool off. She seemed so funny, like a Rejoice ad. So I took a couple of photos, with one of her posing like Neo of The Matrix. Hee hee...
When the time came to sing, she sang Sinaran, Don't Let Go, You Oughta Know and Fame. It was superb! Especially Fame, which was so ultra-catchy, everyone was singing and dancing to it. Oh ya, my mum was sitting next to her mum and they were chatting during the day. My mum said Farah sang beautifully... During her performance got this pakcik who seemed real sporting at 1st, because he went up to dance with Farah. Then it started to get weird, a lil like itchy... you get the idea. Farah's mum wasn't too happy bout that, she was talking to my mum. Well, Farah solved it by calling the Aloha lady up to dance. Priest joined too, and some of the runners, and then the Farahnatics! Woohoo! It was a lotta fun... There was a prize-giving session after that, but I decided to bring Myn to breakfast, along with Ulee, Ivy and kak Angah. It was a funny trip, and we all laughed so much on the way, and also sang along to "Because of You" hahaha... Went to McD, and finally belanja Myn, she was reluctant of course... but I menang anyway. Hahaha... belanja my lil sis once in a while ok wat... Her mummy came and fetched her from there after that. After breakfast we went back to Dataran to send kak Angah and fetch LeOn and Priest. Went back after that to reenergise for the later event at 1Utama...
8TV's Birthday Bash
Next up was 8TV's birthday bash, I left early with my bro, in order to be there on time, and you bet there was hell of a jam there. The parking area was jammed, and everyone were like hunting for lots. Had to stand up and be firm about the lot I was about to take, because someone was about to steal it away... lol. Went to the new side, where Rydee was already singing. She's good... nice to see her performing again. Hee hee... Zamil performed too. He was real good as well. I was trying to gather the Farahnatics in one corner at the front of the stage, so we can support better... you know... power in numbers! Farah's Mak Long was there too, with Myn. There was LeOn, Angah, Zai, Teng, Ivy, Mandy, Jacian4eva, Ulee... it was a good turnout. We were all ready to scream by the way. Getting the screamers to be at one place was a good idea. Okla, cut to the chase...
When Farah came out we all went hyper, and when she announced her song (well, I knew what it was already, dat's why so excited) they were hysterical! She sang beautifully (despite her not feeling too confident about it) and some mentioned she sang like an angel. Her song was so moving, so full of power and emotion. And this coming from a girl who just ran in the morning! She was awesome... after Because of You, she sang Sinaran. We were all joyfully singing along, and she brought this cute lil boy to dance with her too on stage... hee hee... Her whole performance overall achieved a huge round of applause from everyone at 1U there.
After the performance, there was a lil screaming contest, in which you can win prizes. Teng and Priest took part in it, and I was preparing to close my ears as those 2 are like champions in screaming. And coupled with a microphone, the results could be catastrophic! Hahaha... Teng won eventually... though it was kinda predictable. Priest was a good runner up. Hee hee...
After that there was an autograph session, and I went to get Rydee, Zamil and Jac's... It was rather funny to be asking from Farah, since we're friends and all. So I jokingly acted in front of her "Hey Farah! Long time no see! LOL" She was like all laughs... and signed anyway... hee hee...
Pic of the Day! LOL...
Btw, after Farah got down from the backstage, we wanted to add her to our Farahnatic family photoshoot, as Myn, Jihan and her Mak Long was there too... But she was bugged by weird people again, and we had to try pull her away. She was like "you came to save my life, is it?" hahaha... so cute la she... But some of the 8TV crew went and halau us, thinking we were fanatic fans... they didn't know we were always like this when with her. lol... Anyways, she was tired and all, plus bugged by the fella, so she had to make an early move. We all understood well, and waved bye-bye before chit-chatting among ourselves and making a move as well... Ate at A&W, burger, root beer and of course my favourite waffle!!! It was a really wonderful day, but on the way back there was some overheating problems with the car, which was eventually solved in the following week. I didn't let this affect my tiring but enjoyable day... this was most certainly memorable...
Orangey Swivelley
Got myself a new phone... the 1st time I actually got a phone I wanted, and first time buying on my own. It's a Sony Ericsson W550i Walkman phone, and I'm so loving it. The clarity of the screen, the Walkman features, the screensavers and wallpapers, the games and the superb the mp3 ringtones, powered by 3 speakers! Finally I can hear my phone ring in a loud crowd... and it's now set with Farah's "Fame" and "Because of You" as ringtones... and yeah, the awesome King Kong game... so much fun... okla, I'm talking nonsense already... till next entry then...
PEACE and God Bless,
Aris Tee
