SWITCHFOOT! Part 1

ok first of all i shall start of saying that the Switchfoot Concert was the best concert that i've been for. it was seriously awesome. so many things made it gr8.

u know whats the funny part? at first i actually din even want to go for the concert. jus din feel like goin. but finally somehow Rachel and Wei Zhen managed to convince me to go. how? i dunno? i think they said smth like last concert and Switchfoot and it'll b good and all that. i dun even think they realised they convinced me to go. haha. but i'm so thankful they did. cuz it was soooo good.

ok so why was this concert soo gr8? well first of all it started with me winning the 2 free tickets from MTV.

Check out the price of the ticket. =D

it was totally unexpected. i nvr tot i wud win. i was so sure i wudnt win i went and bought a ticket too. haha. but i did win! and i was so shocked like i explained in my previous previous post. so yea i ended up with 3 tickets. so since it'll b no point to jus keep all three i sold them off la. so thats d 2nd good thing. i got to earn money while going free for a concert. haha.

anyway, on the 2nd of Feb itself i was supposed to go there early abt 11 a.m. reach there and meet up with Wei Zhen who was supposedly goin there at 10 la. but since i was supposed to b there 11 she also went at 11. noticed i used supposed. cuz i wasnt there at 11. heck i wasnt even on the way. double heck. i was still at home! haha. why? i kinda slept at 4 smth and woke up at 8. plus i was kinda rocking out to switchfoot songs with my guitar til i was late. plus my hair was giving me problems too. hard to comb okay! =P

so i finally reached there at 12p.m. SORRY FOR BEING LATE WEI ZHEN! =P but there was noone there also at that time actually. jus some other of WZ's juniors from school. its like she said la. "only girls will b that crazy to go soo early" haha.

My concert buddy. This marks d 3rd concert i've been with her already. haha.

so we had our lunch and all. tot we cud go in at 2pm cuz apparently thats what one of the organiser guys said. but he lied!! it was only supposed to open at 5.
so we were hanging around outside jus wasting time. but it was worth goin early for quite a few reasons. we got to listen to the preview of the switchfoot songs. like Oh! Gravity. plus we also got some sneak peaks at the band members b4 the concert. i guess thats the 3rd good thing? haha.

If u look carefully and zoomed in u can see like the side of Jon Foreman's arm.

coming early was also worth it cuz we got like in the front of the line la. unfortunately some freaking idiots from nowhere jus pushed their way from God knows where to in front of us. they din even haf any frens in the line! sheesh. but we were still kinda in front. and the queue was seriously damn long. 4th good thing.

The line behind me. crazy.

Front of line from my spot in the line.

oh yeah. while we were waiting in line we were interviewed by some 8tv guy. asked us some stuff and all la. i haf a feeling i'll look dumb on tv. haha. but i dunno whens its gonna air and all that so yea. but hey i'll b on tv! thats still cool! haha. 5th good thing. so yea.

i said it was supposed to open at 5 right the doors? they lied again! it finally openned only at 6.30 plus i think. lousy fellas. we were waiting so long in line. oh yeah. we were also joined by other church ppl and some other frens in the line.

In the line ppl. =P

so finally when we went in we got really good places. like really really really good. we jus right behind the barrier like that. there was only one guy in front of me. then was the barrier. how great placing is that?? haha. 6th good thing.

This was how near i was to the stage. and how centre i was. haha.

Front row ppl.

so then all we did was wait longer for the concert to start. i guess they were trying to fill up the place la.

Emptyness

but we waited quite a while. we also saw some of the band members who were goin to perform lepaking in that special room upstairs in the Convention Hall.
while we were waiting also they were playing some songs to keep us entertained. haha. i remember hearing Mute Math's Typical. but the funniest part was when Muse's Time IS Running Out Started playing. cuz when it reached the chorus, the whole crowd started singing along to it. i found it funny cuz its like Switchfoot concert and everyone is singing Muse? haha. ok.



oh and also while waiting, some guy from Tv3 came up to the bunch of us in front and asked us to sing Dare You To Move. our first try ..... well lets jus say it din work out. haha. but our 2nd try was better. so he recorded. so i guess i'm on Tv3 too? haha. 7th good thing?

and then after i dunno how long of waiting, it finally started. the first opening act was love me butch. tho most ppl i know din like it cuz of the rockness, i really liked them. i tot they were really good and all that. i liked it when they played Holiwood Holiday. it was really nice jus like i on album. haha. plus love me butch's guitarist is jus freaking gr8 and awesome and wow! his hands are like flying all over the place on the guitar.
he is SUPER FAST. and SUPER ACCURATE. i was like open jawed la watching him play. awesome la. seriously jus awesome. thats also y i like love me butch. haha.

ok for now i'll stop here. a bit long di. Part 2 of the concert will come out tmrw la k. haha.

bye!
