Instead of celebrating or cheering as they should, the Kings approached the event like any other. At first, things were going smoothly, with the soundcheck at 5pm and the performance at half past 10pm, things couldn't be any better.
Unfortunately, as the performance slot beckoned, the Kings was confronted by a scenario that they have never confronted before. A scenario so rare that it hardly graced any event in the country or even leave the slightest hint inside the Kings' minds that it would happen in this land of milk and honey, within their lifetime! But despite all the odds of it not happening, the prospects of this scenario unveiling itself in this very event triggered a distress call from one of the Kings to alert the others. And in that moment, as King Chi Ho held aloft his mobile phone and pressed the mouth piece against his cheek, his beaming voice echoed across the club house lobby, in which he stood, turning every head around him as passer bys stared at the sources of tension and stress that boomed aloud the phrase,"Carry forward, carry forward, we're on in 5 minutes, 5 minutes!"
The half past 10pm slot is now carried forward to half past 9pm. All in all, 1 hour in between. What happened? Did some performers turned Jew and did an Exodus? This is really unheard of but the Kings were on in 5 with Kings Ronnie and Nigesh still on their way to the venue. The rest of the Kings talked the organizers into buying them some time, in which they did for about 20 minutes.
From then on, the Kings (again) stole the spotlight with The Prof. getting most of the fake tan and hooking up with a revolting Miss City - Link that one wouldn't want to know more about, especially what's lodged above 'her' thighs and under that micro skirt. The crowd was a bit tough that night and my guess is most of them were from Government school. In the end, the Kings all had fun (and some more money) and it was all over by 10pm. If only the Kings knew that they hit the milestone, their night would have been longer. But then again, its early sunshine for the Kings the next day. Reason: they're gonna be off to Lumut.
