Though I had yet to recover from a bout of common flu (no, I haven't been near birds of late); I made my way down to Taka to catch a glimpse of Funkamania XII. I was particularly perturbed by this particular photographer, who seemed to set up his tripod (!!!) right in front of the sitting masses of audience; almost dead smack centre view of the entire scene. I happened to be at least 10 meters behind, surrounded up down left right with more fellow audience.
When the show was about to start; a girl who was in the sitting masses stood up, and asked the guy to move out. Instead of obliging; a lady with the birdbrain photographer insisted that everyone stand up to watch. You can see her face below:
She beckoned everyone to stand up. And guess what? That spoilt the show. Blocking people, and instead of squatting down and be conscious that they were at the wrong place and went in at the LAST moment; they got people to stand up and block even more view of fellow supporters.
Gee. Dimwits in Singapore. Yes, they exist.
Anyway, I asked a booth that was beside the stage right to lend me a chair; so I could at least get some shots. Moral of the story? Ask and you shall get.
