this is it, Chingay Media Preview day. have to do a full-dress run for the media, with our blue training tee + 3 quarter or long black pant.
Ginnette came all the way to Subordinate Courts to look for me after my saturday duty. we sort of borrowed the level 3 toilet and prepare. pull on light make-up and coloured contact lens, and then yes! we took almost an hour inside =X haha.
tadaa.. DONE!
went to take train down to Dhoby Ghaut and transferred Circle line down to Promenade Station. and from there, we made our way to the F1 Pit.
what a happy and exciting event, we decided to photo-spam ourselves inside the train.
inside the MRT
Circle line train can see the outside track

playing with our super coloured contact lens.
haha. first time my eyes looked so big xD
funny picture eh?!
PK, puik, Jermine
ME LAH!!~
we reached F1 Pit around 3pm, quickly settled down and get ready for our preparation work to be done. there's also make-up station being set up at the side, with quite a number of make-up artistes being assigned to help the whole 2000 participants for our make-up.
not knowing where to start, Ginnette and me were standing in the middle the tentage, and then when we realised it, those people sitting around the tentage were actually in queue to get their make-up done. haha, since we were standing in the middle, we just joined in the queue. so in other word, WE CUT QUEUE xD.
the queue took pretty long... no wonder they wanted us to reach like 2pm, when our performance was like around 7pm - 8pm!!

the people, the crowd, the queue started forming up as early as 3pm
there's a few stages for our make-up to be done.
1st stage: foundation
2nd stage: blushes
3rd stage: silver lip gloss (looked gross)
4th stage: main make-up, eye decor (the blue and silver eye mask) lol
5th stage: eyeliner
6th stage: style hair
7th stage: sprinkle glitters on our hair

Make-up area
everyone is fighting against time, there's like less than 20 make-up artistes, but there's close to 2000 of YOuths waiting and queueing. and there's so many stages to go, like wow.
and too bad for guys who do not put on make-up, they have to go through this for once!
in the midst of the make-up
reaching the queue soon.
finally it's our turn to go through all the stages. the most yucky part was the lip gloss part, they put until so thick and glossy =S. and the most painful part was the removing of my black eyeliner, she used force to remove for me, as if i won't feel any pain like that =/
like tio poison!! haha
NICE?!
while queueing to get our hair styled. haha. such a long queue, even queued until outside. it was near to 6pm by then, dinner catering had arrived, and all of us were distributed one dinner set each. since we were half way queueing, we have no choice but to eat while queueing. lol.
we didn't have good times eating, because the queue kept moving. we were actually sitting on the floor eating, so when the queue moved, we have to grab our dinner box, dinner lid, water bottle and everything to shift one step infront.
our dinner
okay. hair done!!
looked so funny =S
okay well, after we're done, we still have to wait for the rest of the people. what we can do is sit down there and wait. we ended up sleeping while waiting. you see, our bag was deposited at the bag area, we have no phone, no mp3 player. nothing at all. all we can do us SLEEP =)
close to 2,000 YOUths sitting in the tentage
everyone were almost ready at around 7.30pm, before we went out to form our formation. all of us stayed inside the tentage to have some last minute warming up and practising, rehearsing the dance steps.
practising...
and around 8pm plus, finally it's our turn to move out to the performing area. so excited. although it was just media preview, there's no audiences at all. but still considered our very first full-dress run!
and here we go... starting with the 5 minutes walk-in song, a combined remix of 3 songs
Walking in...
Running.... & POSED!
okay, after the full 5 minutes walk-in, we ran and stationed at our perspective spot, and performed for our 2 minutes main performance, a combined remix of 2 songs and this we would be using our LED light in our performance xD
LED Light.
this was utterly stressful for our 2 minutes main preformance, because right infront of us were standing with alot alot alot camera-man, media people, photographer. and it was basically one whole stretch of them standing infront.
so for the main performance, we would be stationed at our position, and they just stood infront and used the camera to zoom on your face, like =.=''
like having a short 2 minutes of fame all of a sudden. haha. anyway, the media preview went on smoothly, and now we were fully prepared how would it be like during the 2 actual day on the 11th and 12th Feb. STAY TUNE!!
