Blazing The Music With Converse event


After the Big Idea event at Plaza Sing, I took train to Orchard Road, went to Tangs to meet Ishardi. And Ben was there as well!! :-D Event still hadn't started yet, so I went to buy a quarter pounder for quick dinner. Ishardi, Ben and myself then went upstairs for a while to enjoy the air-con as well as rest our tired legs.


Event started at around 6.30 with some Eurasian babe named Kelly Josephine as the host. A sweet gal in light blue came forth to play some game by guessing the ten items hidden inside the Converse bag... and she won the bag!! :-)


Event started off with Campus Superstar 2 female champion Keely singing 2 Chinese songs. Chen Yuyang (another CSS 2 alumni) sang a duet with her and then a solo. Ishardi remarked that the pixie-faced Keely looked like a cross between Jade Seah and Felicia, to which I totally agreed!! :-)


Next came Jasmine in rock chic attire... she sang "Sweet Child O' Mine" (which she sang during the Singapore Idol Spectaculars back in 2006) and a Chinese song. If I have to be honest, I was drather dismayed over the fact that Ishardi and myself seemed to be the only original fans to be present... never mind if there were new "unofficial" ones along the way. Seems like I was right, the Jasmine fanclub seemed to have totally disbanded, much like most of the other Idol fanclubs back then.


Closing item consisted of Jasmine, Keely, YY Chen, Shane and Paige singing the main theme for the "Affairs of The Heart" variety special (the one for the survivors of the Sichuan earthquake last May). The whole thing ended at 7.15 pm.

And yep, you bet I took pic with Jasmine again!! :-) Th remainder of us fans then waited for Keely, only to learn that she had already left with most of the other performers. Oh well, there will be a next time perhaps...
