Getting to know us.
The ever surprised calamari from the kalahari, aubry chong -fondly known as ah yaw- is keeper of the worship schedule and high commander of the drums since his teenaged years. His secret hobby is doing laundry. Shoe size 10, toe size 99.
Popping too many pills did it for our resident doctor david chung, transplanted serembanite and proud upholder of the family cause. Can be spotted headbanging to the steady beat of patients' bedside monitor (and occasionally, to music, when he thinks nobody is watching).
Bernice the smile menace, serial flasher of a thousand smiles, tireless worker, caring friend, and the elder half of the winsome twinsome. Has a penchant for bulletproof vests, never spends less than an hour in the washroom, and makes the best seafood chowder on this half of the earth.
Secret agent sean masquerades as a tv producer by day but plots to take over the world by night. Diagnosed with manic footy obsession disorder, has been known to cook up a storm, and never leaves home without his 'stinky' blanket. Swears by jamie oliver and all things black. He is the elder brother of the winsome twinsome and would like everyone to know that he is immune to coffee.
A closet lover of pink and purple, sidney makes up for his lame jokes with his dazzling dance repertoire that's virtually unrivalled in this part of town. Proud father of a 1979 black performance mini cooper (with racing stripes), he spends every rainy day washing it. His bold experimental changes in hairstyle can be attributed to the fact that he is running away from the police. 
Camp psycho, bass junkie, aspiring songwriter, hopeless romantic, darren the baron enlarges his entertainment skills by singing in the toilet and amusing us with his witty ditties all day long. Never can say no to a scrabble challenge.
Recent star of a musical, state football player, and former ballet dancer, Eunice is studying to be a teacher of special children. The other half of the winsome twinsome (refer above) has a soft spot for butterflies and cracked her skull when she was a kid. May soon rival Imelda Marcos' shoe collection.
Watch out for this rocker girl from the cat city, kuching lass sharon is one power-packed ball of fun, energy, and cute expressions. Probably the only half-iban, curly-haired, sun-phobic, singing, sweetheart of a computer designer we know.
We were privileged to have a free run from the hotel lobby to several other parts of the hotel including the Avanti Italian-American Ristorante, West Lake Garden Chinese Restaurant, and even the ballroom where the Miss Tourism International Pagaent was being held. Was that a once in a lifetime experience or what?
Singing in Avanti was the fun-nest because the crowd was most sporting. They clapped, cheered, and even sung along. The atmosphere there was really beautiful, and it wasn't too hard for the audience to feel the presence of God. Even in a public restaurant like that.
It was a different kind of Christmas experience to be singing 'Jingle Bells' at the top of your lungs while walking in single file along the shopping centre. Yes, the same place where you just shopped with your friends yesterday.
More shots from the beauty pageant crowd, pity it isn't very clear.
This year's culmination event was the prize giving ceremony held at City Harvest Church in Subang Jaya. The twelve shortlisted songs were weaved into a musical, making it a melodious, colorful, and dramatic extravaganza.
The lead actress part was played by none other than Transit's very own 
Here she is with 
Among the cast was our very own 
The musical was power-packed, filled with high-energy dances, dramatic tension, and some pretty awesome light play. The crowd was really hyped up. The suspense made them even more eager to know the winners of the songwriting competition. Among hundreds of entries from all over Malaysia, several Transiters songs were selected.
Joni's song made the cut (we weren't surprised at all) but unfortunately she couldnt be present to sing it herself. She asked Joshua to croon in her stead. However, nobody explained to the crowd why a boy was on the stage singing when the screen displayed the caption "Joanna Lynne". Anyway, confusion aside, Josh was a hit, the previous year's winner named him as her favourite, and many of us overhead encouraging comments from the crowd. One of them was a man who couldnt help complimenting Joshua's singing to his neighbour. As it turned out, the person sitting beside him was Joshua's grandfather.
Also shortlisted was our Lydia Tan. All our finalists made us proud.
It was a night of stirring performances from all genres across the board. The panel was more inclusive this year and chose to recognize different types of songs including Bahasa Malaysia songs. In the end, Diana Wee walked away with the top prize for her song 'In Awe', and we were all in awe of the goodness of God as displayed in all the songs.
