Suara Kami 2011 Event

It rained. People scattered. Rain stopped. People started gathering in front of the stage. Show started punctually at 8pm. Audience was hysterical. I sat at the grand stand right next to the VVIP box.

Unexpected night of surprises awaits me.

Firstly, Naresh Iyer came and sat next to me after his performance. Before that, my friend and I were curious that an Indian Aunty next to us were thoroughly enjoying herself during the Indian artists segments. Before we knew it, she is Naresh's mom and he came to sit next to me in the public bench area. He's such a sweet young guy as he was very obliging to people who kept coming up to take photos with him every few minutes and he even entertained my questions when I asked about his mom, the dancers and his time in Msia.

Next surprise was the Prime Minister (Datuk Seri Najib) & his wife waved and looked towards where we were as he was talking to a group of people in a t-shirt labelled NFC who were cheering for him.

Bernama posted the news at midnight today:

It was a memorable evening after all.

Suara Kami PC 17 September 2011

Part of the privileges of new full time job is having the chance to meet with or come close to superstars and today is one such day.

In conjunction with Malaysia Day yesterday, Astro helped organised Suara Kami, a youth concert and carnival day at Stadium Merdeka. I was privileged to be at the press meet this morning with the artists performing at the concert tonight. Security was tight so only managed to take these and there were a whole bunch of media photographers - really gung-ho ones.

Seems like a really busy weekend this is. Had to turn down a baby shower, an open house and another get-together for this concert. Can't wait to watch the concert tonight!

Chinmayi & Naresh Iyer from India. Naresh seems really excited to be here and it's a first time for both of them.

 

Nelly from US

 

Rania - the K-Pop girl band. They didn't speak a word of English except for one who's a Siamese and they were really obliging and lovely. 

 

The local artists performing tonight are: Pop Shuvit (right), Yuna (second from left), Faizal Tahir (far left) Altimet, Hujan (opening act and it's actually raining now), Pyschounit, Rabbit Mac and Soul Krazy.
