22nd September 2007, Saturday
Managed to attend the launching of the book called Journeys. A compilation of 20 stories taken from the 'Inspirations' competition. It was a truly outstanding event that touches everyone heart including my aunt and me.
Managed to see Lawson, Dijah, Atie A.K.A Rock Chick, Habib, Wahida, and Khairul.
It was a job well done I must say. It didn't go as bad as I expected. The Emcees, Saheera, my teddybear especially, was so dramatic and cool. She was born to be a comedian entertainer.
3 outstanding winner. Each has its own unique and talented ability to write. Fortunately, I had the chance to hear their life story. I was moved to tears when I actually listening to their story.
It was a nice and simple ceremony. Not too much hoopla and I think I liked it that way. Khairul was emerged the winner as the third place. His speech was more to those who had without the script. He said it out in an impromptu and a informal way. But abit nervous. I can sense that.
I was trying to listen to the words during the rap performance.Though I couldn't catch it all,I liked what I did hear and I knew that they were telling a story.
While they were talking to Mdm Salinah,I had to give the rappers props for what they did, for their style of writing cos it wasn't easy. Mdm Salinah was saying that she never really thought about it because it is hard to understand rap lyrics if you're not used to the lingo. But she did agree it was a form of great writing.
After that,the writers had a bit of fun getting each other's autograph. Lol. Some parents and teachers were there and they asked for our respective autographs too. It was kind of fun.I mean, I took it all in and went with the flow and it's not as if my ego was boosted or anything. Like, we just did it cos it was fun.
Thank God, his speech came after their performance and not following the really inspiring speakers that had come before, cos the people were in more of a relaxed mood and the atmosphere wasn't so serious.
I felt like I am a book idol. It's been quite some time I had been autographed by someone else. But this time its kind of different. I managed to get some autograph signature by some students.
Pictures taken, get a chat with them and lastly seen my former class section head, Mrs Lee.
Anisah, her mom, Daya and me headed down to Vivocity. Just window shopping and enjoy a wonderful view at Sentosa. We had dinner right after fasting period. We quickly rushed to look for a nice, splendid seat. Thinking its auspicious. We chose the right one. hahas.
After having our dinner, we took shots. I noticed that there were 5 unusual statues with different colours. Nice spot and its was somehow like a perfect spot to shoot at. Candid poses, formal poses. That's what photographers will do to make the perfect shoot. I mus say Daya is the one.
I mus say yesterday is the day we enjoyed. Oh by the way, Photos will be uploaded up soon.
