A Night At Dataran Merdeka

I bet you're thinking, "Ben has no life to spend his night at that place".

N maybe you could be right. But the real reason i went there was cuz Jesh had an ad to shoot for Pepsi. Kinda cool eh. It was behing the court house area there. Which was nearby Dataran Merdeka la. So we (the cousins) decided to check what it was all about and also keep Jesh company. He had to be there from 6pm to 6am. 12 hours for a 2-3 minute ad? Sheesh! What the heck do they need so long for?Anyway,we reached there abt 8 smth and i think they jus started shooting the first scene. Before this was the make up and the fitting of clothes n stuff. That alone took 2 hours. And they we shooting the 1st scene for abt 50 times for i haf no idea what reson. Prob some kid was saying smth wrong n the famous cricket player wasnt giving the right expression.

Oh wait! i din explain abt the ad did I? Sry. ok. The ad is a Pepsi ad for Pakistan featuring a famous Pakistani Cricket Player. There's a bunch of kids, Jesh one of them, who go to the guy's hose and challenge him at cricket. So he says he'll do it if there's Pepsi. So they go buy pepsi, they play, i'm pretty sure he trashes them, yada yada yada, they celebrate with Pepsi.

Yeah. Obviously i din stick around to watch them film all the scenes. I would just bore my mind out man. So we went out to find a Mamak so we cud watch the Man U game. Unfortunately, it wud seem that KL (or at least that part) had no such thing as Mamak where u can watch football. Sheesh! So anyway, we managed to get into the Selangor Club nearby. Wathced the match there and also some drama that was happening. I was pretty certain there would be gunshots. But nothing happened. Oh well. Oh Man U won 3-1 exactly like i predicted. Haha!

So later, since we knew we wud be bored, we took the Catan from the car and went over to the filming area and starting playing. Unfortunately i nvr won. The 2nd last player kept winnning. Sheesh. Then we got bored again, so we went to lay football. Which was probably the best part. Cuz we got to have fun and also watch live entertainment at the same time. What live entertainment u ask? Well, there were the street racers, the drifters, and alsothe rempits. all racing at Dataran Merdeka there. Really cool to watch. No accidents tho. Haha.

So after we realised that there was no more racing, and we were tired of football, we went back to see what Jesh was doin. And as usual, they were taking some scene again for 50 plus times. We were sooo bored...... So basically after that we din do much. We jus sat around, watch ppl set up, film. Oh we got free food too thanks to Jesh. Thanks Jesh!

We also managed to see the sun rise. Or at least the whole place get brighter, which i wont normally see cuz i'd be sleeping. And there were these sparrows too who came out in the morning and flew around for their morning exercise. They flew in a real cool formation. Sorta like when an Ancient dead magical mummy from egypt sends out a plague of locusts to come attack you. Yeah it looked smth like that. Anyway, soon after that Jesh finished and we cud finally go home.

I tot it was a great night looking at all the things that happened. The sights and sounds. Plus, i managed to stay awake for one whole day! Haha! It's kinda smth big for a person who loves his sleep, ;) But i did compensate some sleep jus now when i slept for 4 hours straight in the afternoon.

Crap. i haf to go back to college tmrw. Haihh. i hate studying.

gtg. Bye!
