Saturday: S'pore Idol day for me! I woke up early and went to Heerens at 8am with Pin Yan, my VE junior. We went there to queue up for the S'pore Idol party tickets after reading the 8 days mag promo.. It was my first time queuing up for something for about 4 hrs or so cos' I always saw those long queues for concert tickets, National Day parade and stuff, so I guess everything has its first.
So there I was, playing cards with Pin Yan, listening to my CD and just reading Lime magazines. It is quite fun actually with Pin Yan along, cos' he always does stupid stuff to make me feel embarrassed or his innocence makes me laugh a lot.. We wanted the tickets so that Shi En and some other guy can join us to meet our 'idols'!!! I personally support Daphne and Sylvester cos' Daphne is so cute like Japanese girl and so lovable and Sylvester is so cool and shuai... Even though his voice isn't my favourite...
The best singers in the competition should be Taufik and Leandra in my opinion cos their voice appeal to me a lot. Real smooth and sweet/emotional. Especially Taufik. Olinda's have a powerful tone but that doesn't really mean that she is the best, like what most of the people perceive good singing as... She can't really sing tender songs, like the big band song last week, but no doubt she is real good.. The remaining 5 idol hopefuls, I think Sly has the weakest voice cos rock and roll is over, it's soul and R&B this week so it isn't really his strength, have to see how he pulls it off... Haha! Gogogo! Daphne and Sylvester rocks!
Ok, back to the queue, so we waited until 11.55am, 5 mins before the tickets are distributed, here comes an organiser with a S'pore Idol tag suddenly shouted that those under 16 aren't allowed to get the tics. Shit lar, we were originally confident that we will sure get the tickets cos we are about the first 40 odd in the queue.. Just then, 50% of the queue was like swearing cos we spent 4 hrs to know that we cannot get the tickets as it wasn't printed on the damn 8 days mag... :'( Pin Yan and I can't help but feel disappointed but what can we do? We just get some freebies - a poster and a notebook that is definitely not worth 4hrs of waiting for and we decided to go to the roadshow to meet the idol finalists in flesh instead...
We took some pics and saw the finalists live! Sylvester is real shuai and Taufik and Leandra and Olinda are very friendly, waving to the audiences frantically... Daphne is so real short... I think she is shorter than me.. Hahaha... I don't feel that zi bei cos I can't really take her photo cos of her height... Sylvester was really popular among the girls, it's like everyone taking pictures at the roadshow were rooting for him only.. Wow.. that's what I call a powerful girl magnet.. Btw, catch this week's idol cos we might be on TV cos we were rather in front of the stage when the camera shot us.. We were bouncing frantically for our 1 second of fame on iDol tv... :D
Then it was 1pm and we rushed for VE. Made it though... And even though we didnt get the tickets, and we are still disappointed, I really wish my father could help me get some tickets. He said that its possible to get 4 tickets for either this week or next wk's live and result show.. But shan't keep my hopes high.... Must pull strings from Brandon for the finale tickets too! I want to watch the show live so much.... :)
Here's a song to all, hoping that everyone will be happy and optimistic: Joy to the world by American Idol 1 finalists: (sang by Daphne in the 1st spectacular too!)

Joy to the World by American Idol 1 Finalists
Jeremiah was a bullfrog,
Was a good friend of mine.
Never understood a single word he said,
But I helped him a-drinkin' his wine.
Yes, he always had some mighty fine wine.
Chorus:
Singing joy to the world
All the boys and girls now
Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea,
Joy to you and me.
If I were the king of the world,
Tell you what I'd do.
Throw away the cars and the bars and the wars,
And make sweet love to you.
Repeat Chorus Twice....
Signing off,
KX
