Vince's Dari Studio 1 Recording
Astro
6.45pm (start of recording)
Left KLCC (office) at around 5.30pm and the traffic jam was pretty bad at Jln Ampang. Mmg budget akan sampai lambat for DS1 Vince ni, but somehow I made it in time! Phew :) Sempat lak tu tukar baju pakai t-shirt FC Vince and tumpang letak barang kat ofis Haks.
On the way to Hak's office, terbump into Vince at the gents pulak. Bagus tul, hehe :) Happy sungguh tgk Vince pakai jersey away Chelsea which the BFs bought for his bday. When he saw me he terus bukak sikit jacket dia to show me the jersey. Siap posing lagi. How sweet. Ikut hati, dah nak keluarkan camera dah, but he was on the way to the toilet, and I was going to Haks office. I was already late, don't wanna push my luck, takut nanti depa tutup pintu recording studio..
Masuk2 je recording studio dah nampak Sham, hehe. I ni mmg minat kat Sham since I saw him as a guest critique in AF1. Siap buat poster for him masa Konsert Reunion AF1, hehe. Anyway, happy sgt sbb Sham remembers me. The last time I said hi to him was at Anugerah ERA 2004 and he said he remembered me from Konsert Reunion AF2. Cool :)
Tanpa tunggu-tunggu, tanpa lengah-lengah, terus amik gambar ngan Sham. My first pic of the day. As usual, Sham was very well-dressed. Suka sgt tgk. Dressing Sham & Ramli MS ni mmg class, hehe :) Tapi tak pernah tgk Sham hisap cigar lak mcm Ramli MS.
I actually overheard Haks telling Sham about my blog. Adus..... Mmg kes aniaya ni, hehe. Bertambah horrifying lagi when Sham mintak the blog address. Hahahahaha. Aiseh, apalah Hak cerita kat Sham. Gambar Sham takde le byk mana kat blog ni pun, the Orange One tu byk lah. Tapi I jokingly said to Sham, nanti dah masuk site ni, email me pics and I'll put 'em up. Kalau boleh, gambar-gambar 'scandalous' with Ramli MS ke, hehe :)
Btw, my personal trainer at gym looks like Sham. One of the reasons I chose to sign up with the guy, hehe. Nanti kena amik la gambar dia and post kat sini.
With Sham 
After saying hi to Sham, terus pegi cari muka familliar depan pentas tu. Saw Yasz and SM. I was introduced to Hemo-hemo from SM Blog. The regular BFs were frontstage of course.. Kristina, Kath, Karen, Wawa, Zura, Bee. Semua pegang banner2 Vince. Thanks to Kris and Kath for all the trouble.
When Vince came onstage, he said hi to everyone and read the banners. One of it said "Vince, you are our hero" and Vince said.."Did u guys know that I was Superman?" Hehehehe. I'm sure those who watched Vince at his home in Trek Selebriti remembered how he dressed up as Superman in drenched light red underwear to make it look darker!
Crowd was not too bad lah. I expected less actually because of the timing. Nasib bukan pukul 3ptg. Jimat satu hari cuti I, hehe :) Teringat last year amik cuti for DS1 Nora (Vince was a guest artiste).
Btw, Vince pakai casual for DS1. Two different outfits. The first one he wore a long sleeve t-shirt underneath a t-shirt and jeans. Simple but kemas. The 2nd outfit is as per the picture below:
Vince!!
He sang about 8 songs in total, including one duet. With who? Tunggu.. :)
'Tak Ingin Kehilanganmu' was the first song. Sayang dia tak leh guna the arrangement in his album. That was really funky and fresh. For the recording, arrangement dia ditukar sikit. Kinda slowish but still upbeat. Other songs he sang were Better Man, Andai Kau Mengerti, If You're Not the One, Lepaskan, Mengapa Harus Cinta and Mimpi Yang Pasti.
Vince's guest artiste was Ella. My goodness, kurusnya Ella ni!!! She sang one song (tak sure the title) and I was really impressed by her vocals - really good. They sang Korie's song, 'Pergilah Kasih' which Vince sang in the 1st AF1 concert. Ella also went up onstage during MHC (Mengapa Harus Cinta).
For VC's fans yang risau vocal Vince at AE04 was a bit pitchy, Vince ckp masa AE04 dia tak sihat sikit. Rest assured guys, his vocals was in tip top condition smlm. No pitching problems at all, very good. I especially liked it when he sang 'If You're Not The One'. Good. Sesuai ngan suara Vince because of his falsetto.
Ada sekali masa dia nyanyi satu lagu dia stop sbb tekak dia kering. Mintak air, hehe. I think VC's fans yg slalu tgk dia live tahu dia ni MESTI kena minum air and lap peluh. After just one song dia dah berpeluh2. Basah forehead, pastu dia dah mintak air. Masa Vince mintak air tu Vanessa was at the back so I just gave him my mineral water bottle. Dua kali dia mintak air and I gave my bottle. Agak2 kalau jual ada tak org nak beli, hehe. Ye lah, Vince drank from that bottle twice, haha :)
Vince and his BFs. L to R: Bee, Wawa, Kath, Kris, Karen, Vince, Zura, Suria, Niwanda.
Oh yes, when I complimented Vince on his vocals he said that he's now taking vocal lessons from his old choir teacher. Btw BFs, Vince IS going to represent Msia for the "Voice of Asia" singing competition in Shanghai next month. Patut le amik vocal lessons kan? hehe. Bagus gak. Very proud of you VC. When he told us he'll be going to Shanghai he said tak kisah le apa outcome sbb.... kita semua pemenang, tiada pengalah. Vince ckp "Must print T-shirt lah camni." Hehe. Mmg dah jadi trademark Vince mcm trademark Adam is "Bertahun2 aku nyanyi lagu rap...." :)
With VC
After the show ended, borak-borak and took pics sikit je with Vince before going back with SM and Haks. Tak lepak at cafeteria as usual, cos it was Hak's birthday. Dinner plans at Keramat.
Vince had a photo shoot after that. For FACES magazine I think, tak sure sgt. Oh yeah, Vanessa told me she now has an assistant. Good for her, kesian tgk dia, tak cukup tangan.
With Vanessa.
So that's it about DS1 guys! :)
p/s: I still haven't seen Vince/Resh/Siti/Zahid's Hotlink advert!! :(
p/p/s: Can't wait to see AKM (Andai Kau Mengerti) video clip. Kris finally got to act in the video clip contest she won. Kris, tell us more about your experience once you've fully recovered from the long shooting hours, ok! :)
