The Regurgitation of Emotive Illustrations

OPERATION KILL ELEPHANT.

songfest 2004. yupz. my band joined and we freaking won the 1st runner up for the competition. whaha. apparantly, we were the only band that sang our own composition. it's called "catch a falling star".

awww....

i still remember that when we first heard about the competition, we were just rambling nonsense about joining it. yupz, i went home got my guitar and started strumming randomly. lyrics appeared in my head. haha. kidding. i wrote it out after thoughts la. duh.

and the next day, we all gathered in the bandroom. with only an electric guitar there. i did the demo. apparantly, we decided to use the song after changing some of the lyrics. haha.

our appointment was set. fel was the lead singer. i was the lead guitarist. ko was playing the bass. kw was the drummer. and mind you, our drummer is professional alright! whaha.

we didn't practise. probably we did a bit. but definitely not enough. we heck care and just went for the audition. damn it.

we got in. hahaha. hahaha.

and once again, we didn't turn up for any rehearsals until the very last one which the teacher threatened to disqualify us for not attending any rehearsals. i was damn sad. kw and i were the ones present. ko and fel got things on. -.-! omg. i talked to the teacher, pleaded, begged. whatever it is. eventually, the both of us got up stage performed and left in relief.

we didn't get disqualified.

the day before the competition. we jammed at kw's friend house. we added the bridge on that day. jammed till the night and went home.

the big day.



we were damn excited. see our happy faces? oie. don't laugh at my hair. still laughing? ugh damn you!

anyway, behind the happy faces. we were fearful. yes. WE WERE BLARDY HELL SCARED CAN. whatever right?



but still, we remained calm and did our job.

towards the end when they were announcing the winners. we were actually quite sad coz we felt that we didn't do well at all. but secretly, deep inside. we hoped for a place.

...and the first runner up is Operation Kill Elephant!!!

omg.



we were freaking surprised! we rushed up the stage and shook hand with yes. Dennis Keller. she had that funny poodle hair that day. okay maybe not exactly poodle but she had a bad hair day. fuck it! we don't care coz we won!

anyway, God bless you.

Amen.
