Don't Forget The Lyrics™ Singapore

Of course there're benefits as a mass comm student (they call us the mass comm people). Other than the neverending assignments (as if other courses don't hah!) and formal presentations (we have a lot more than youuuu, so stop complaining), we go for field trips!

What kind of field trip?

Mass comm + field trip = ?

Paying a visit to MediaCorp studio, becoming the audience for their variety show and witnessing the backstage preparation with our own eyes. And best of all, talking to celebrity face to face and photo snapping!

I was one of the SP DMC students that were part of the audience for Don't Forget The Lyrics™ Singapore. Just for two contestants, the recording took 5 hours, with a small break in between. Just coordinating the o took more than half an hour.

We didn't just sit there. It's a gameshow where the contestants sing! We were told to do a lot of grooving, waving, dancing to hype up the atmostphere!


High tech equips huh.

Gurmit Singh is the host for the show and boy is he funny! Since the crew don't just do one take for each stage, they had to repeat takes again and again so that they would get the best shot. While the crew were at it, Gurmit was chatting with us. And he asked if anyone's from Malaysia! I raised my hand and told him I'm from Penang yay! =X Apparently a coursemate of mine, was very interested in Penang. So somehow he approached me and asked me a lot on Penang. What amazing experiences you get when you study overseas right.



Halfway through the recording, Kym Ng dropped by and said hi to all of us! How nice of her! And the heel of the contestant's shoes came off. So the contestant's "nanny" got him another pair of shoes. For both the contestants, the management assigned a girl to look after the contestants, making sure that they wouldn't feel nervous or feel uncomfortable a single bit. You don't see these on TV k!

Oh oh and when we were having our break, we took the chance Gurmit for a photo and he said "YES OF COURSE!" He is super friendly and funny can! And such a drama king! I forgot how many times he SS-ed (syok sendiri) in the studio and started to self direct cum self act (自导自演) o_O I could've asked him to do the legendary "PCK Ptd. Ltd., best in Singapore and JB. And some say Batam" right! Aiyer! Nemai. I'm contented...



... especially with this! XD *overjoyed*
