Whenever I blog, it means I'm pouring my heart out. For this rare moment, I'm blogging over something that got me totally on cloud nine. Yayness!!  

Earlier today, my presence was made at the MTV Asia Awards roadshow at Wisma Atria, which is something I would never do for any other roadshow held in Orchard Road.

Hosted by the ever-so-lovely VJ Denise, the roadshow was intensely awesome. Games were played, especially with the "Guess the M", which fitted the MAA theme "Where Is The M?" to a T. Or should I say, a M.  Initially, I did not want to participate - all I wanted to do is stand there and enjoy the show. But when VJ Denise announced that the participants have won tickets to the show, I knew I  had to be a part of that fun.

The next segment was finding a presenter to present the awards at the MAAs. The participants who volunteered to audition were good/great. Note the (/) as they didn't sound too bad when they delivered the line "Hi, I am (-insert name here-) from Singapore, and here are the nominees for Favourite Artist Singapore". You've got to admire their intestinal fortitude for that.

Soon after, at around 3pm, the roadshow took a pause, while waiting for the members of local band Electrico to arrive. I would say, it was a long wait. But it was all worth it, considering that the performances they gave were awesomely good. Now that makes me wonder why local bands aren't receiving much support from music-lovers. Or that I could be wrong in this case - I hope someone here disagrees with me. If you think I'm wrong, go get yourself a copy of their newest CD We Satellites - support local music!! Okay, I've digressed.
