Field Report on Singapore Idol 3

IT WAS ABSOLUTELY CRAP!! - Not me. I'm referring to the organisation of the event. It's beyond terrible. I heard from a MediaCorp representative who was ordering food in the basement that there were 3 auditioning rooms. Yet, a friend of mine who got in line at 2am, who was given the number tag 430-something, didn't get his turn yet... not even now, and it's already 7.13pm!

Another friend who's been queueing since 4am... got turned away and told to return tomorrow.. WHAT CRAP?

They started at 9 this morning, so till 7pm or 1900 hrs, that's 10 hours. 10x60, that's 600 minutes. 3 minutes per person, and 3 rooms, - 60 mins lunch, so they should have 560/3 x 3 = 560 persons. Or lets say, even 500. Why so slow.

And did they really have to keep all of us out in scorching sun till 4.30 before deciding that they can't finish the numbers today and that we'd have to return the following day? On paper, they said 500 people would get to audition today. Well I can totally understand that they needed some crowd to be present for their filming of subsequent trailers... but those were done at 2.30. They could have simply registered us all first with the many registration counters. Question is, why didn't they? No consideration for fellow mankind? Human Rights activists should really make a din outta this. This is really Horse Shit.

Underworked registration queue.



Fucking hungry.
