Where had you been to watch the recent World Cup? Staying at home? Argg .. didn't you get my invitation to the
World Cup Street Party at Telawi 3, Bangsar on my previous post?
Me, Vun and Joshua arrived at about 8.30 pm after safely secure a parking not far away at the nearby neighbourhood. We were actually invited by P1 and in the invitation email except mine, we were told to reach there by 9 pm. We thought we were in time but upon seeing the queue, we were completely worried.
So, we made a queue from the far end near the McDonalds. As we waited half way, we saw almost everyone who came in the queue was bringing an invitation card. Then, we started to be puzzled on how come we do not have one. As the queue was getting nearer, we managed to ask one of the zebra stripe alike (black and white alternate stripes aka referee jersey) on how to enter to the street party.
We were deeply saddened when she said that only those with invitation card or SMS can enter. Then, we then seek assistance from her superior who said that entry to the public was closed (close to 9 pm that time) due to the high number of turnouts and the street was already packed with party goers.
So, I went to seek assistance from another organiser at the entrance while Vun and Joshua remained at the queue. Initially, the man which I confronted was giving me the same reason and was reluctant to help. Then, I asked him to offer me help by seeking the P1 staff. We only knew the name of the person who invited us but do not have her contact. So, we were a bit helpless. Luckily, that man agreed and helped me searched for P1 staff. Vun and Joshua needed to come over my place as the queue was getting nearer to the main entrance.
Finally, one P1 male staff came and gave us 3 invitation cards. We actually required 5 invitation cards as Wan Nah and her bf will be coming later at about 11 pm. Then, we asked whether we can straight away enter but the guard at this entrance point said we need to get ourselves the wristband otherwise we cannot enter. So, in another helpless mode, we had to QUEUE UP again!! The queue now was even further from our initial point.
That P1 staff later came to our queue line together with the person who invited us, Cynthia Chung Li Yar. They apologised for the inconvenience and then gave us another 2 invitation cards. They even borrowed us a pen and told us to fill in the form attached. Anyway, problems had been settled and I we wanted was to successfully entered into the street party and later to decide to stay for how long due to the super pack number of people. At that point of time, we received call from Wan Nah saying that she couldn't come as her bf was sick.
