Velvet Chronicles

A lot of people have been waiting for my update on the Peter Pan concert I have been waiting for the time when I could blog it up.

And now is the time.
And i remember promising pictures so sit back and enjoy.
Hear me gloat!

Nasir fetched me from Pasir Ris in which after that we fetched Ein who took a looooong time to siap.

I did wear flats to the concert.
A green top with jeans and a white tudung which apparently was kinda bad choice cos when the blue lights came on i looked so blue.
*lol*
so anyway..

We arrived at 7.20pm
It was packed like hell.
People queuing outside.
The humid weather didnt help.
You can see people sweating their arse off.
I was no exclusion.
I regretted not bringing my Hello Kitty fan

Well, anyway, luckily Siddiq was there at 6.10pm queuing already so we joined them in the queue since our tickets were also with them.

This was the gantry where we entered Hard Rock
NOTE: It was my FIRST time entering Hard Rock in Singapore

The minute we got in, there were not many people yet in the cafe.
Cos we were among the earlier ones in the queue.

And the MCs were teaching the audience playing the angklung(is that how you spell it)
And it looked simple though cos the crowd managed to play the song by UB40, 'cant help falling in love with you' and one of Peter Pan's popular songs, 'Mungkin Nanti'.
We came in a group of 5.

Me, Pebbles, Nasir, Siddiq and his *ahem*(was told to keep it confidential, in which you are not gng to see tis person in the photos as well) was standing around a stand-alone table.
I was cursing and swearing cos i thought i should have worn heels instead.
Not that most girls were tall but the guys were.

You should see the way we girls 'choup' tempat when the guys bought for us drinks.

So anyway, there was a huge metal barrier that separated the VIP ticket holders to people like us who only bought the tickets for $80.

VIP tickets were going for $150.

When the concert was coming to a start the metal barrier was pulled closer to the stage allowing the normal ticket holder people like us to run closer to the stage.
Ein, Siddiq and *ahem* ran to the front.
I and Nasir was at the back.
Taking care of the drinks and Ein's bag.

I knew Ein felt bad to be leaving me behind and she ran back to me.
But I told her to go ahead.
To run back to where she was cos people were strewing in already.
I said i would take care of her bag and the drinks.

I didnt mind cos Nasir was accompanying me and the only reason why i attended the concert was because i wanted to hear them sing 'live'.
Can you imagine, *ahem* was asking us a lot of questions about Peter Pan and all the 4 of us fail.
erkhekhekhe

So anyway, the concert was about to start and there was this guy in a white polo tee, whom i think is a guy working in Hard Rock.
He came up to me, looking so fierce

And he asked,"How many of you here?"
Me: Two
(i was wondering why the hell he asked. Eh salah ker diri sini)

Then he asked the girl standing beside me,"Are you alone?"
Girl: Yes
HRC Guy: Ok you guys come and follow me. I bring you to the front.

*squeal*squeal*
I wanted to call Ein but she was too far. And i so tak terima ok that the girl beside me got it.
*humph*

And guess what i didnt manage to really see when Peter Pan made their appearance cos i was way at the side of the VIP section. But i saw the space i pulled Nasir and then i felt that i was right smacked in front of his face.

It was really never fun without my sister so i asked Nasir to go out and get her in.
But he could not get out of the VIP section by then.

Picture time!!!!

This was the VIP section(again picture coutesy of Dyllah)

and these were the positions of a then-after-fanatic and the lead singer

This picture was taken prior to me and Nasir getting into the VIP area and even before the metal barrier was pushed forward.

So anyway, the crowd was mostly dead.
And these fans probably knew all the songs.
And seriously, more than me but they just stood there and took videos and too many photos of him(lead singer)
Please... enjoy the gig.. Sing along and feel... FEEL...FEELLLLLL
C'mon!

Hell yeah they were good.
Good was probably an understatement.
They were fantastic and superb.
I found a band who sounded better 'live' than in their records
I found a band who wasnt interested in the screaming female fans, holding out their hands so these women would grab it.
I found a band who delivered with very good showmanship.
After which i became a fanatic *lol*

I was screaming and shouting at the top of my lungs to the songs that i knew which was 75% of it.
The minute i knew the song i gave my heart and soul to it.

Goodnesss.. it was great..

I was swaying to the ballads and skanking to the pop songs.
Skank?
Skank with an Indon band?
*lol*
well.. i did while the whole group was standing still.
Me and Nasir were swaying, jumping, bouncing and screaming to the songs at the top of our lungs.
Nasir was nice cos he made space for us to move and it wasnt so cramped.

I can still remember when the lead singer, what's his name? Arial?
Ok anyway, he asked the audience,"Siapa di sini pernah sakit hati?"
I was raising my hands
And i know what song he wanted to sing.
*squeal*
Aphrodisiac!!!
Duh! He sang 'Ku katakan dengan indah'

He was kind to sing Nasir's request 'Diatas Normal'
How i knew?
Cos he was the only one asking for it.

After the concert, i had a lot of hate shouts from Ein and *ahem* for getting the VIP area.

Ein: I am so glad that you had fun but i am so sore that you had fun
Go figure!

I went back home memorizing all his songs
And i still cant get over it
And now I am listening to every one of it.
Day and night.

Their next tour, i wouldnt miss it for the world.
Pay good money to hear a good band singing good songs live.
Why not?

Shareda called me on Monday and asked if I wanted to watch Robbie Williams concert.
I have not even gotten over the Peter Pan to bring myself watch a faggot sing
*lol*
ok ok that was mean.

So here are the pictures of the group, excluding *ahem*
*lol*
