Have not been blogging for these few days, not because i'm busy, or lazy, just nothing interesting happened, nor did i visit any places of great interest. Yesterday night, i went to Ximending again, not for shopping but to find some good local food. Avoided all those street stalls as usual and found lots of people queueing up for this particular stall.
Located in the heart of Ximending, the stall's main attraction is their popular pork organs mee sua. Unlike those you have at the street stalls, this one makes sure their pork's organs are washed thoroughly. No sand or dirt or whatever you might find disgusting. NT$55 for a big bowl is quite worth it, but the only thing they are different from all the shop stalls is that they don't have seats or tables. You are required to stand and eat or take-away. Went back to the hostel and decided to watch tv with some other guest. The programme that was on, was 超級星光大道第三. The show ended an hour later and an advertisement popped out and caught my full attention. They are auditioning for the fourth season in like 10hours time. Just my luck, i thought, holiday audition for me. Lol. Of course i woke up early for it, prepared my materials and went down to register. The registration starts at 10am. I arrived at 9.15am, and i thought i would be quite early, Singapore Kiasu trait. But i was wrong!! I couldn't take a picture of the whole queue in it. Every angle i tried, only get half the picture of the crowd.. >.< They started registration at 11am, and i have to wait till 12.30pm in the hot sun before they came to tell us, only 350 would be allowed to sing today, just leave our forms and they would contact us if they want to. >.< All the waiting ended up for nothing..2 and a half hours in the bloody scorching sun.. I guess i have to go for the next one, 5th July, in TaiChung.. I stayed and watched the whole audition take place. It was quite horrible.. Maybe most of the good singers didn't get the chance to be in the first 350.. Cause a very very HUGE amount of the 350 is either, tone deaf, no groove, or stage fright and forgot the lyrics. The crowds are very nice though, like all taiwanese do, they cheered them on, JIA YOU JIA YOU! The audition started with 5 of the already eliminated contestants of 星光三. Sugi from Singapore, was one of them, they gave advice and tips of how to show your best performance or as Sugi said, make sure your make up is still intact in this freaking weather. Ok, he didn't say freaking.. I did. He started the performance of the 5, with the way he audition in Singapore. Beatboxing and then adding a fast song into it. The audition started and i was really wondering if this is how the rest of the audition is going to get.. Horrible singers and no respect for the competition itself.. Dressing in shorts and singlets, like they are going to a nearby 7-11 for some tidbits.. Funny how those kids at Ximending are not taking part. They dress so trendily to shop and this contestants dress so shabbily to sing..

The over weight guy in strips and specs. Yeah, i know.. Some of them look like gals but are guys. And one particular person have to come up and say, i'm a gal not a boy.. Anyway, that over weight guy came up, said the song he wanted to sing and froze. Ya.. The crowd goes JIAYOU JIAYOU, but he doesn't move or sing.. Stage fright? No.. Stage froze.. And the magical bell goes TING!, and he became unfrozen. Wonderful magic eh? Golden tickets were given slowly, but i think the real reasons is because they can't find any good ones and have to make do with the ok ones. Like they are force to give out, otherwise they might be stuck with all the 10 tickets.. Halfway through the audition, the weather plays funny.. Sudden heavy downpour makes everyone running for shelter.. Only the poor contestants who are queueing up have to stay at their spot. Funny thing is, almost all the contestants have got umbrellas. And one by one, up pop the umbrellas.. So being stupid, i didn't run as fast as my legs could bring me, was soaked to my underwear and bones.. The rain just got heavier and they finished before schedule. So instead of 6pm, 5pm they stopped all auditions and announce the contestants who made it into the second round.. 1 hour more.. I thought i could get the chance today. ArgH! Bleah! Pui!~
Made my way to the metro station, squeezed and dried my shirt with the hand dryer, Mr Bean style. Stupid day i had, and the worse thing is when i got back to the hostel and showered, i look in the mirror and notice lobster red on my arms. Nice burnt and rain i got today. Scorching sun and heavy downpour. Both in my face.. Zzz..
Tomorrow is a long day.. Will be going to the long awaited KeeLung trip , with the 3 korean gals, oh yeah, there came a korean guy, and today a hongkong guy feeling the fun we have in our room decided to change into our room.. >.< The noisiest room in the hostel definitely belongs to us. =D Oh ya, the korean gals are going to Singapore either this monday or tuesday. Anyone wanna be their tour guide? LOl.
