On Hollywood: Day 5
Imagine everybody from around the world arrived at the same time? No wonder the Asian girl at the counter wasn’t so friendly. The hotel’s kinda old, considering it shot Arnoldschwarzenegger during True Lies in 1993. He’s the mayor of the state now. It does remind me of the older shopping malls in Singapore. Westin Bonaventure is in the smack of Downtown LA. Nothing really if you walk in circles. Desperately looking for kosher meals.
Registration was quick. I got the schedule breakdown and felt butterflies in my stomach, especially when the lyrics of Michael Jackson’s “Heal The World” just up and disappeared from my brain. I am to sing that song during the Pop category.
Ireland had 92 delegates, Malaysia a great 30, Phillipines had a big group too, Trinidad & Tobago, Sweden and South Africa too and Singapore, its just me and Sean Wong. It doesn’t matter how many people you send, but it’s the idea that everybody was in uniform colours, carrying their flags around, with banners and banging drums to support each of their own participant made me feel really small. Well, no wondering how Greece felt; they sent only 1 delegate.
I hardly sleep at night. Sleep in throughout the daytime.
