Most of our members, including myself, were newbies to the FC scene. The Vivo Countdown party was the first MCS program we attended, so we were totally clueless how things were going to be like.
We arrived slightly after twelve noon and subsequently, Naturally Nat, Felicity and Jeanius came too. Fast forward to 10pm, we were finally allowed into the mosh pit. Definitely worth the 10hours’ wait as we were right smack in front of the stage. Perfect view.
The program started at around 10.30pm but we were informed that Rui En would only be performing her piece after midnight. Well, why waste the last hour of our year 2008 right? So we sang to the music, cheered and clapped for everyone as though they were our idols too. It’s all about having fun isn’t it?
Talking about “stretching one’s limit beyond imagination”, goodness when Rui En was on stage, each of us screamed like Maria Sharapova in her tennis games, deafening. I honestly had the temptation to stuff tissue paper into my ears. And luckily for our throats, we bought lozenges for everyone.
Dead beat at the end of the day but what better way to start 2009 with screams, cheers and Rui En? Uh-oh, and a sore throat too ;)
