Euphoria 2004 was dam shoik... was actually thinking of going back early coz my dear dear wanna send me home... {e other day when i was out clubbing.... knew he ain happi abt it coz he wanted to fetch me too but waited till almost 2am me din msg he den he surrendered to 'zhou gong' (zzzzzz), worst of all i was only back home at 5am...} but they smartly placed all the good singers at the end of the show....
i was dere with michelle, chengyuan n yuemin (frens of sec. school). we met up at 5.30pm thinkin we were late... den we reached the Padang field n realised nth happening... so we hang ard thinkin it might b startin soon... den at 6pm, Jean Danker, Carrie Chong, and Mary came out to announce saying tat the DJ boys was b entertainin us for the next 2 hours... okie big deal... maybe they are good in their music... but when they appeared at 6pm, it was all head banging thru... till 6.30pm, me n michelle gave up coz we din enjoy the house music n the noddin heads of 2 ang mo.. (one even had his hair braided n dye of green colour.... michelle was sayin he looked lye a dinosaur... but we 4got wat it was called.. ekek). we decided to go grab a bite since she din take anything solid all day n the finger food tat the guys bought from the stall within Padang was dam expensive.... 6 pieces of chicken franks S$3 !! a pop of Tiger beer S$4 !!
so... confirmin tat the actual event is gonna start at 8pm... me n michelle went out of our confined area n settled down @ Funan KFC.... ate our chicken, chill out under the air-con n chattin away... occasionally feelin kinda gulity too... coz our guys r still hangin @ the open field of Padang sweatin away listenin to the 2 ang mo jammin boring house / trance music...
when we went back at 8pm, shinwa from korea started the ball rolling... {haiz... too bad KENBOA ain ard... bet he gonna love tis... } we were like so close upfront wif them n listenin to them sing frm the latest hits, new creations to the older ones... den came All-4-One, one of the older group frm my generation {kinda listen 2 them durin sec school days}... singin wif them to the song of 'I Swear' n acapala (singin without music, purely voices)... den comes Palmy of Thailand singin her hit song "I want to Sing" {title translated in English, catch it on FM 933} n oso singin "zombie" of cranberries !!... woah can she hold her vocal.... she's a half thai, half belgium... no wonder lah... afterwhich, the crowd screamin away for........................... MACHI !!... singin 'song' {meanin shiok in taiwan dialet} den with kenny n steven takin off their tops plus the latter comin down stage gelin into the crowd... boy were the gals HIGH.... even chengyuan was feelin pity coz we were juz right beside the barrier where steven was but we stood juz behind e camera stand.. thus he din walked to our side.... (-_-*), when everyone was on high, Lena Park came out wif a powerful voice.... followed by SHIN n Michael Learns to Rock.... all thru till 1am, were we reluntant to go...
we were on our way home by 1.15am, sendin michelle all e way back to boon lay den we went kalang old airport rd to have supper cum breakfast.... coz by den it was already 2am... n he needs to be at work while i'm goin marketin wif his brother...

(he was suppose to join us for marketin, but suppose he was studyin for his exam all nite thru... thus we din disturb him) still we wanted to make him relax a bit thus the prank, askin "y he ain ready to go market.... it's already 9 plus n there wun b anything left if we r still not going."
