Here's the first part of the journey before my computer got retarded. We'd got off the LRT…
Merdeka Super Kampung Style Flashmob (part 1)
I hate the word flashmob. It’s so not a flash anymore. It’s a plannedmob. A telleveryonemob. Putadsinthepapermob. Callitaflashmobcozitiscoolbutreallypublicizeitlikecrazytoeverytomdickandharrysothatpeoplewillcomeoutandwatchandsupportandtakevideosandphotosthatwillbeuploadedandgoviralmob. Viral video is another term I despise. Anyhoo, the Pagi Rock Crew decided to have a ‘flashmob’ coz I thought it would be funny to perform Super Kampung Style in front of the Prime Minister Dato Sri Najib Tun Razak and our Agong at Dataran Merdeka during the Merdeka parade. Adam’s idea was to travel by public transport during the show and broadcast the journey. On the way there, Prem referred to the ‘flashmob’ as just a flash with no mob because NOBODY wanted to join us. By the end of the morning, it was a mob with no flash.
We met at the Fly studio at 5 something A.M. on Merdeka Day. Broadcast the first few links from the studio, calling a taxi company to come pick us up and all. Then we packed our things and were off!
First leg was the taxi ride from Sri Pentas to the Kelana Jaya LRT station. Once we reached the station, the boys seriously could not figure out how to buy the tickets. It’d been years… And what the what? No tickets. No more. They’re tokens now. We are such dummies.
On the LRT I forced them to pose and dance and be silly. Hafiz is up for anything, but Prem is a really shy person (though you’d never think it) and he was so reluctant to do anything. Bobo.
On the left are a couple of dancers from Showdown who were actually on the way to Dataran Merdeka to perform in the parade. On the right is a student who wanted to watch and a really nice lady who happened to work in the PM’s department in Putrajaya and for forced to attend the parade. Haha. What are the chances. Anyway, no one wanted to join the flashmob.

| Oh yeah, when we reached Masjid Jamek we got off and Prem chatted up this lovely lady Nadiya, a Bernama reporter, who was covering the parade and said she would join the flashmob. There was also a random guy from Monaco who was on his way to his hotel from a very looooooooooooong night of partying who started talking to the boys and couldn’t find a toilet. Random. |
