Maiden Concert
Last Friday was my virgin experience in attending a concert. I took a quarter of a century to finally attend a concert. I wasn’t fortunate enough in the past to have extra pocket money to attend a lavish concert like this; and neither were the monies from my part time jobs meant for such lavish spending.
I was transformed to a young girl all of a sudden as the clock ticked closer to 8pm. Fang Yi and myself overlooked the timing as we buzzed about him during our dinner. In the end we were running in helter-skelter towards the MRT. We travelled via the Circle Line – again another virgin experience, towards Stadium station. Whole loads of passengers were buzzing about his concert on the train. This superstar. This guy whom I’ve adored since he released his first album in 2000, Jay Chou.
I thought I was way pass the idolizing era. I mean isn’t that the favourite pastime of teenagers and maybe youths? But hello? I am like freaking mid twenties and I felt so out of place and slightly embarrassed that I actually IDOLIZE or fantasize about this idol of mine. But heck there were plenty of people my age on the train! Needless to say people on FB (my age!) were all going gaga about the concert and having the opportunity to see him up close and personal. I ain’t that old after all!
It was my first time popping by the indoor stadium. Mountain tortoise I know. But hey that’s how it got me excited right? We paid a hefty S$171 each for our tickets. We couldn’t get them at all until announcements on his 3rd show that got us all buzzed up again 3 months before. Hee hee.
Our tickets
We bought our light sticks. Damn profitable can! $5 per stick?!
Our seats... and posing with the ‘fans’.
Thunderous pump-pumps
Waiting impatiently. Haha
When the lights went off, fans started to scream. And that’s when everyone went high. Many videos captured, but I am too lazy to wait for them to load in youtube. It’s like 80+ MB per video. Maybe one picture. Ya, he's that tiny from where I was. Sigh.
During slow songs, I realised I was sitting at the edge of my chair and staring at him, and my mind was somewhere in lala land. I didn’t want to go back home. For only in my lala land, my own creation exists. The day I felt like a teenager again! It was quite emotional towards the end; when he was sharing with us his 10 years of music life. Wow. Hearts him. Aww.
The next one I wanna catch is A-Mei!!!
