glee flashmob dance: KL chapter - D' Day...

ok, sorry for posting this so late... i was caught up with something else. hehe...

anyway, on the actual day of the flashmob, the organizers STILL refused to disclose the flashmob location! we were only told to assemble at the Gardens Hotel at 12pm sharp, but i reckoned, since the flashmob is scheduled to take place at 2pm, it must be around that area as well, as they will not have time to transport us somewhere else. so i was able to tell my personal cheerios* to come to midvalley area fast! 
*for non-gleeks, Cheerios are the cheerleaders of Mc Kinley High, also the home of New Directions, the school's glee club. oh, and "gleeks" are "fans of Glee"


after registering, we had nothing to do... so we just camwhored! and no, we did not pakat (malay for make a pact) to wear the same t!


at gardens, we were flocked into 3 main groups (with 100+ people in each group) for easy mob management. after sitting/standing about for some time, we were briefed at about 1pm. we were still in the dark as to our actual flashmob location! in our briefing, my group were told to meet at the midvalley centre court at 1.30pm. that will be our diversion point...

so we went our own ways, walked towards midvalley and went into a few shops (to look natural). then nearing 1.30pm, we went over to the centre court. lots of the flashmob people were there already, just hanging around and talking and laughing. i'm sure we created lots of suspicions from the shoppers there. tho' no one knows what's going on, i'm sure they suspected SOMETHING is going on!

then at about 1.45pm, our group leader started walking again and we followed. again, it's so obvious something is going on... coz it's impossible that 100+ people just decided to start walking towards one direction all of a sudden!

we stopped at the centre court of Gardens Shopping Mall, and just stood around waiting. so it's confirmed! we'll be having the flashmob there!

*photos with the RA logo were copied from their facebook page

you know something is up when the normally near-empty gardens is suddenly so crowded!


the opening act, by kids below 15 years old. this is a slightly different version from the other glee flashmobs happening around the world, where they used professional dancers for the opening...


these closed-up shots were taken by one of my cheerios, YW and her bf...


see my hair flying away! so semangat (malay for gung-ho)...


everyone also very semangat...


there were people dancing on the ground, 1st and 2nd floors! actually, our group was meant to dance on the 1st floor, but N, V and i thought it would be more fun to dance on the ground floor. so we ditched our group and slipped downstairs to join the group there :P


after the dance... cheerios YW and NY (YW's bf) came over to say hi. here's us doing the GLEE sign, while NY snapped our photos.


another pair of cheerios, taty and annie, came to show their support too!


and we got called for an encore! so they decided to do another round of the dance... i think this round was better. everyone was pretty hyped up and not so tensed as the first round. and i think everyone from the other 2 floors came down to the ground floor, so we had a bigger mob effect. can you spot N and i? i've circled us in red...


here's a closer shot of us...


all in all, it was a crazy thing do to. and the power of the mob is really amazing. here's people of different background, gender, skin colour, religion, social status, etc got together for one cause. and no one gained any monetary benefits from this! ok, maybe star world, in free advertising... hehe...


here are the 2 versions of the OFFICIAL glee flashmob videos produced by star world. i think they'll come up with another version, coz these 2 looks like just clips of the event, and not really on the event itself.

1 minute version


4 minutes version
