GLEE-FUL Weekend! Glee Flash Mob @ The Gardens, KL

I had a fantastic weekend as I finally participated in my first flash mob and what flash mob could be better than a GLEE flash mob!  Since GLEE is my favourite show, I was very keen to join indeed.  I studied the moves on my own through a tutorial video and then attended two more rehearsals at The Gardens before going into real action on Saturday at 2pm at The Gardens Ground Level (positioned on the right - there were others on 1st Level and 2nd Level too).

I had a great time...as a GLEE fan, truly an experience to cherish and I enjoyed every single moment of it.  Thanks to Random Alphabets for organizing this flash mob.  However, from the aspect of a participant of a flash mob, it was a bit disappointing as there weren't that many onlookers at The Gardens.  The few hundreds of us definitely couldn't "blend" into the crowd and stood out like a very BIG sore thumb as we waited for our cue to start.  Without enough genuine spectators (doesn't include friends, relatives, media who were aware and prepared), it defeats the purpose of surprising folks with a flash mob.  So, at the end of the day ... we put aside our disappointment and we just danced for our very own enjoyment, crowd or no crowd!  Boy! We danced alright ... I think I flung my arms so vigorously till they almost detached from my body (my arms and legs are aching from the few minutes "workout" on Saturday while I had survived the two hour rehearsals I went through (TWICE) without such body aches!)

Here are some behind the scenes photos of Glee Flash Mob preparation and show time from Random Alphabets Facebook page, Here's also one of  the many videos I got off from YouTube showing the performance.  There are many more if one were to do a search for "Glee Flash Mob Gardens KL" in YouTube.  Check out the dance ....




And since we were dancing for ourselves anyway...we even had an encore (quite unheard of for "flash mob") and the second time round was totally awesome! Us, Gleeks gave our "all out" performance which nearly brought The Gardens down, hahaha.... Check out the video! Truly a performance of a lifetime :o)





  I can now strike "Flash Mob" off from my bucket list ;o).  I'll remember 8 May 2010 for the rest of my life for it was a great day!

Have a GLEE-ful week ahead everyone!

To Ipoh We Go - A Tale of 5ive Floggers & 1 City (Part Three)

Well, what do we do after sweating it out in a lane for a photo shoot? We go eat again of course! Hahaha...We let Jason decide and we ended up in Sin Yuan Hong.  First order? We were really thirsty and ended up with ...

Kopi Ping (Coffee with ice)

... a Kopi Ping (Ice Coffee with milk) each.  Which we later kinda regret as that meant we were full of water, hence less space for food! :p

We then ordered a set of Poached Eggs On Toast .... I tell you, a work of art it is!
Poached eggs on toast!

To Ipoh We Go - A Tale of 5ive Floggers & 1 City (Part Two)

The internet connection has been acting up of late.  Had wanted to blog earlier but I had problems trying to load the photos.  Here's a quick Part Two of the Ipoh trip ... After our visit at Thean Chun, we decided to walk around the area to take some photos of Ipoh city itself and not just the food :o).  Here are some of the pics I took.
