Promotion tour for movie:12 Lotus

Yesterday (2/8/08), I just went to the Hougang Mall after the music lesson from Commutity Centre at Ang Mo Kio around 3PM plus before 4 o'clock as I went for window shopping as usually where the event took place. I saw some people garthered around the stage as most of their children were on stage to do some wigger fun with the adult who was leaded for the progamme. Just after few mintures later, just as I went down to the first floor, more people garthered around stage soon once the music started to play. I wasn't too sure what they were doing for so I joined them just to see in cursion.
It was the promotion tour for up coming the local movie, 12 Lotus which is story about a singer that she had troublem with other men who were used her and abused her. That was when this song was came about known as 12 Lotus in Hokkien theme. The main director by Royston Tan who also directed for the another movie 881.
As I was standing down there, some people who went there were waited for one hour while others were waited up two two hours!! Almaka!! I wondered why they had to wait so long when the progamme started at 4PM. OK, at least the progamme went over short by half an hour. (Because I just looked at time from my mobie phone.) Just after waiting for so long, the DJ from YES! 93.3FM came on stage to start the show. Beside that, that was the number of cast for the movie also came up on stage for the audition. There were including young actors and some other actors from 881 went on stage to say hello to everyone. That was such actor who used to work with TV station for long time also went on stage too for being cast as the father of the younger main chartcher. And this was for his first time to work with director for the movie.
Just let me tell you honstily was that, I doubt he knew about the Hokkien songs before. Well, too bad, he was told that he had to sing in fornt of auditours out there. Ever the host cheered him on just gave him a good shot. Eh... I was not too sure about that but to make long story a short, he did went, well, pretty OK. He must had red blushing for sure after short while.
There was also giveaway posters to anyone by simplying answar question from each of the actors of cast. Oh dear, I doubt I was able to answar at the first round. Eh.... ever thought I'm Chinese but somehow I'm quite bad in Chinese speaking and writing if you ASK me.... ><;
There were short performation by two of the well known singers (which one of them was the contester for the Superstar Project). They were very good on stage. Ha ha, I guess so.
Just nice after second performation, the three main cast were on stage just to giveaway poster again after the short interview with them. This time, never mind, I must as well raised up instead just give myself a try. Then, I got picked from one of the cast! Well, I had to answer simple question(when is actually open date for movie?) And I got the poster at last(anyway, that question was seem to be easy). Just before the closing programme, the actors had this item to sing in Hokkien song just for everyone. That was really good thing about the gatei as the Hungry Ghost Festival already started until later in Sept.
Once after that, I went home by bus along with my poster. Still, I believe that the movie will be able make it once it's open at cinema on the first day. ^^V
Note:The poster was feature one of the main cast. Eh.... I though I would get the main poster. *Sight*
