well let's start with the morning. that wasnt too fun as i had to go all the way to school just to hand up the bloody peer evaluation form for the debate!! grr so it was like i chionged and everything.. brief recap of it: climbed hill, dumped form into box, sped off to printing room, spent damn long there trying print one bloody picture of hoobastank, lousy adobe photoshop they got there, time to upgrade yer lousy comps lah!! cant print, waste my time, witnessed a handphone getting stolen i.e. not actually seeing the asshole take it, but being there when the owner realized it was lost. not very nice audio sia. she said fuck. then, chionged home, ate/gobbled lunch, showered, chionged out coz i was already late! decided to meet melvin at outram instead of harbourfront... met up, went toilet and i changed into my np polo tee, yes correct, i am such a loyal student... *rolls eyes* please, it was just much more comfortable. then went off to take bus into sentosa... went there... lemme skip the whole abt 1 hr which we spent, deliberating if we should go in at all coz i saw no one inside at all... after that we sorta decided not to go in, i was really unwilling to go in and like, have the organizers and people try and get us to participate in some crap since there was like no one there to participate, and the DJ had the nerve to say, from inside, 'its getting quite crowded in here'... wah piang... what a cheap lie to get people like us who were hesitating outside to go in. we went in then came out. then locked our stuff in the locker coz they were SUCH TOOTS THEY SAID NO CAMERA ALLOWED HELLO WE WERE MEETING THE BAND HOW COULD THEY SAY NO CAMERA ALLOWED?!?!? we were pissed about it and therefore just to let you know, we sneaked our cameras in, later, not right now.
right now we decided to take pictures, so we went around and took some shots, then we went and sat by the beach for some time since there was nowhere to go... and there was this completely adorable ang moh baby and his family, and he really took a liking to walking (albeit very jerkily) up the beach, from the water there... it was SOOO cute man everyone within a 5 meter radius stopped everything and watched him walk walk walk, he just hecked everyone and walked on hahaha... at other times he sat on the sand and took fistfuls of sand (which was like, only a few grains since his hands not say very big yah..) and threw it and practically everything landed on himself hahaha was so comical!! i really enjoyed watching him. i laugh until pengz. really very cute i wish i had gotten a picture of him. its just very nice, he fell down quite a few times, not fell, just had to stop or sat down or stumbled, coz the sand was very uneven where he walked... but he always got up again and continued like nothing happened, and then there was this time after he quite sitting down then he decided walking on twos wasnt going to get him over that part of the sand so he went of fours, but it wasnt the baby crawling sort of fours, it was like how a monkey would move on fours you get the picture?? hahaha!! very funny. was only for a short while lah that one...
then yeah, after that i cant recall what we did, we collected 'goodie bags', levi's plastic bag wow. my newest most precious item. haha no lah. inside there was a poster, postcard, some stuff with hooba printed on it... luckily sia!! coz if not i would have nothing for them to sign and that would be the ULTIMATE insult to them right...
so we wanted to sneak our cameras in right? then we discovered that when we bring in just the levi's bag, they dont check... SO, we went out again and then did our best to flatten the plastic bag with the cameras inside, then we waited a while then we appeared casual and talk talk talk and walked in. HOHO. i felt quite relieved once we got past the guard.
then we waited around and listened to some stuff while waiting for a Jean who was supposed to gather us for the meet and greet backstage... we stood right at the front then they went and BLASTED the music and MY BONES LITERALLY RATTLED AND MY GUTS SHOOK, EVERYTHING LITERALLY HERE! wah lau i tell you, never ever like that before man. deafening and the waves hit at full force and everything within me was thumping. scary sia! we jumped out of our skins and tried to move away from the railings. jialat man.
then in the end we approached one of the staff who told us hooba wasnt here yet so we gotta wait somemore so we were like ok. then later got lah, the jean went on stage and announced for the meet-and-greet peeps to gather at the right side where we had been waiting around, then we waited a bit more.... THEN i saw hooba coming round from somewhere at the back.... it was thrilling.. say chris first... then the rest of them... then waited somemore... then FINALLY we were allowed in! just went for it. went to them asked for signatures as to take foto with them... basically it was very nice, but the thing is they seemed rather uninterested lah. as in, a bit too tau and a bit... like.. i dunno. attitude. basically they were considered quite friendly liao lah, and at least willing to take some photos. dan and markku were drinking water, doug was eating apple... i felt quite awkward lah. like, i dont really know what to say to them, if i should even try to say anything... and they were also like, get this over with so we can go back and rest. so yeah, quite sad lah. maybe its because im not a hardcore hooba fan so i dont feel out of the world meeting them. its just really nice to be at one of these things. but then i think about all those fans out there, some of them would have died to have a signature or photo, so i feel rather lucky nonetheless lor... :)
then we went out and locked our precious autographed stuff up then snuck our cams in again, then headed for dinner! VIP tent, we have food. hohoho. so we had some much needed dinner, though i got hungry 5 hrs later. but then yeah, then slacked a while coz it was still just the opening band, the first one wasnt that good so i dont remember their name, i think it was Turbula but i dont really like lah. i like the second band, called The Ocean Band, they sang abt 6 songs? and i pitied the lead singer coz he was SO tired and he was still singing and rockin and jumpin away on stage, and the crowd which was so bloody small (!) was not really supportive lah i feel... basically i think the lead singer is quite a nice guy, he is quite friendly. yeah. then we went out of the tent and went to join the crowd... not really join lah haha. just stood where it was less crowded so more breathing space!!
then more pre-parade stuff lah... then waiting for hooba to come on... after quite a while they FINALLY CAME ON YEAH! then well, concert lah basically. i was taking pictures throughout but in the end only those that actually looked like something, i kept. the rest just black, deleted. its damn hard to take any decent fotos at all man. too dark.
yeah. so like, from start till end right, doug was like encouraging the $59 ticket people to like, "do whatever you can, find a way to have fun" he was like constantly hinting to them to like, breach security and everything, becoz the $79 crowd was very small!! only enough to fill the front of the barriers, and then there was this huge empty space, then the $59 people. so naturally it looked damn weird and unappealing and boring from up there on stage lah. i can understand that, but the thing is i think he shouldnt have encouraged them lor. you know, somewhere at the end of the concert he was like, openly telling them to jump over the barricades, he said " those railings dont look too high to jump over" and kept asking them to come over come over... and the $79 people started chanting for them to come, and then the $59 people had been chanting too, and then they started to climb over, i saw one of them just fall to the ground like a sandbag, Boom! at first it was a few, security caught one of them, the rest they sort of didnt really hinder them.... then everyone started to follow and there was a stampede and people just climbed and RAN to us and they were all wet i dont know why, was it sweat or they had been wet from swimming or something? and it was really every single person over the railings man... no one left back there. me and melvin didnt wanna get crushed so we quickly ran into the VIP tent for shelter haha. i took some pix from there. the crowd was still small in my opinion, definitely a lot bigger than when it was just the $79 people but still... didnt even fill up half of the allocated $79 space lor so...
yeah anyway, well, i dont really like hooba's songs lah. too much noise. i like loud songs, dont get me wrong, i really like them. but the thing is i dont like just noise kinda songs, which is why i dont like heavy metal. i like at least got tune or something... the songs they sang, i dont really enjoy. its great for beat and if you had energy u could jump your head off, but it doesnt mean anything to me. the only 2 i liked were their two famous singles, Running Away and more recently, The Reason which is a great song. but basically i think they are all great. doug is good at singing. dan plays well. chris drums great. markku plays well too. yup... oh and chris started off topless, and then doug got really sweaty and hot so he took off his top too during the show, and boy he's got a great bod. really. these people, wonder how much time they spend working out everyday. lol.
yeah well... so i shouted and cheered for them and sometimes rawked with them when i wasnt taking pictures hoho. there were like, people filming the entire thing. knew the security couldnt keep out all cameras... so i just snapped away, heck lah. first rock concert i've been to, might as well make the most of it right?! haha. and i sang really loudly to the reason and running away. everyone did lah.
oh wait, i forgot to tell you abt this woman. i kinda felt she was a cheap slutty biatch lor. kinda sarong party girl style. ok see, she's like, with this ang moh lah. then at first keep being slutty, kiss kiss kiss. doesnt matter. then its like, i can tell she's not like, a hooba fan at all, i dont think she knows them at all lah. but since she's here, she dont wanna lose to anyone. she afraid she'll look bad or something. so what she do? EVERYTHING I DO, SHE TRY AND DO ALSO. wah piang!!! i jump, i scream, i shake, everything, she watch me the whole time and she did everything too sia. i clap she clap i scream she scream, try and act like damn enthu and everything. wah lau... please lah. at least dont let me see you're like forever staring at me to copy me sia. im just a kid, this is like, my thing right, you're like, 20plus, it doesnt matter if you dont jump or whatever?! i dunno. i just feel she wanted to look onz, and wanted her ang moh man to think better of her. i feel she was being downright bloody fake. thats all.
then got another ang moh man dunno who is he lah, he ALSO keep looking at me sia! wah seh. maybe coz i cheer loudly haha. like a high pitched WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! and maybe i was like, rockin to the music? or maybe coz i was taking fotos ever so often hoho. think they all hoped that seeing other pple being enthu, it wld rub off on them... hai.
wah but 2 things i really really really hated about the whole thing. EVERYONE WAS SMOKING. i kept seeing puffs of smoke shoot into the air and get illumiated by the blinding stage lights, and everywhere i moved i was breathing in smoke, the smell dominated, couldnt get away from it at all. just had to bear with it. then the insides of my ears really hurt, pain, because the whole thing was too loud, the speakers, about 20 speakers in two vertical rows blasting from my left, my left ear was ringing and it hurt and i couldnt hear properly... and already for the past week or so my right ear has been badly blocked... at first i thought water went it but even after a week its still badly blocked. i wonder am i going deaf? sigh. quite scared.
oh well. yeah then yeah well... then after the whole thing was over hmm.. .... a relatively long journey home... had to wait for bus from siloso beach to visitor departure, then a bus out from there to harbourfront mrt, then mrt, then bus from boon lay... reached home about... close to 12am... parents werent happy lah, kinda grumpy, mom didnt say anything to me when i came in. dad waited at bus stop for me. ahhh... then i only slept at after 330am... today go church got xian chang somemore... last night i was really rather worried coz i was told florence had gastric flu and maybe she wouldnt sing today means i Must sing, and i didnt go for yday's practice, and i havent memorized the words at all.... then last night i was chatting, and dunno doing what sia... oh yeah transferring pix from cam to comp... then stoning... then i was so shagged up i was really cranky. then i actually fell asleep for 2 hrs, before waking up, turning off my comp, modem, everything, then going to sleep for real.
this morning, waking up was like hell man. i had to throw myself out of bed or else i would have decided to skip church... but i pulled myself out and went, and dozed during lesson and then freaked out a bit just before xian chang... prayed hard i wouldnt forget the words up there, didnt really forget but some parts didnt sing well coz no voice... then dozed during sermon, just TOO TIRED. no other reason.
sigh. today didnt get to talk to yile much... in fact not at all... so coincidental, both he and yixin got competitions today. welll, best of luck hope u guys did well.
