It was finally the day of the event.Before we even got started,reporters from media such as The Star approached to interview us and snapped pictures of us.It was just an involvement with flash mob,yet we felt so important already,as if we were stars in a movie or something.
The personal interviews went well and I managed to answer all the awkward questions directed to me without sounding like a major amateur in show business,but I still hope that none would actually come out on printing.
Our 'public shows' were scheduled to be at 1pm,2.15pm and the last performance to be at 4pm,but some unexpected delays occurred due to technical faulty,so the 1st and 2nd performances were half an hour later from scheduled times.Before we began with the 1st show,the international arrival hall was already packed with people arriving from flights,as well as those expecting the unexpected performance from us.
The flash mob consisted of a medley of 8 songs in total,with almost 200 participants involved in it,including 5 Malaysia Airlines' cabin crew talents in uniform (that would be us) and 150 other volunteers of Malaysia Airlines' staff,friends and family.Blasting off with the song 'I Miss You Much' as the opening,followed by 'Istana Menanti',a Hindi song 'Aankhen Khuli',a catchy acapella tune 'My Boyfriend's Back',a Chinese song 'Lang Hua Yi Duo Duo',a classic Malay song 'Rindu',special appearance by 5 Malaysia Airlines cabin crew singing 'Signed,Sealed,and Delivered',and last but not least,the grand finale with everyone singing and dancing to Amy Mastura's famous tune 'Akan Datang'.
A natural entrance made from the arrival area,before we unexpectedly performed in the middle of the crowd.
And there we went, 'Like I fool,I went and stayed too long....'
...joined by the team of dancers...
...'Here I am,baby!Signed,sealed,delivered,I'm yours....!'
...and the final pose in front of the cheering crowd before singing 'Akan Datang'.
The adrenaline rush that we experienced as we performed in front of the crowd was just marvelous!It felt just as good as when I 1st did my catwalk show for Rizalman at the KLCC Suria concourse back in 2006,along with the famous Nasha Aziz.The louder the crowd cheered,the more energy generated in our body while performing.Hence,energetic and vibrant performances delivered.
During the breaks in between shows,we were gathered at a secluded area of KLIA to enjoy refreshments and drinks provided by the organizer.We even managed to review our performance captured on video,in order to improve on the next show.
Yeah,Sweetie Pie was there to give all the support I needed,including being my personal camera man ;P
The MH smile =)
More pictures of us taken by the press.
Even Datin Seri Tiara came all the way to KLIA to see our flash mob.
By the time we came out for our 2nd and last performances,the arrival hall was even more packed than before.Strangers,families and friends have been surrounding the area to sing and dance along with all of us since they've enjoyed themselves doing it during the 1st round.We couldn't be happier seeing all those people being supportive towards what we were doing rather than seeing us as fools who 'syok sendiri' dancing and singing in the middle of an unknown crowd.
When the last show finally ended,it was time to say goodbye.Weeks spent with each of the talents were so precious and memorable.All of us have gone through so much laughter and pressure together during rehearsals and trainings which made it hard for us to say goodbye.But of course,before we went our own separate ways,we managed to capture 'almost family' portraits.
Of course the pictures couldn't fit all 200 of us but they were good enough to treasure.

So that was it,folks.I hope there will be more flash mobs organized by the company.Perhaps,a surprise flash mob on board a flight?That would be something,won't it?Hope you folks have enjoyed reading my journey towards the big event and I'm leaving you all lovely readers with a footage by Staronline.tv/ posted on Youtube!No laughing ok?Good night! =D
