Music: Ashita by Hirahara Ayaka (Yasashii Jikan OST)

The Concert was awesomeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gwen Stefani is one hell of an entertainer!
Ok lets start from the beginning..
The con starts at 8.30pm (aka 9.00pm)..
We could've gotten there on time...
But due to unreliable signboards in Malaysia..
Terlepas exit to Bukit Jalil.. so had to pusing so far..
Shouldn't have happened, coz I've been to BJ sooooo many times!
Arghhh felt so stupid!

By the time we were there...
Gwen was singing Sweet Escape (first song on setlist) half way through already..
So we raaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn like crazyyyy
and managed to get to our seats before the song ended..
Man they were good seats.. albeit being at the highest tier..
But we had the most front seats, and were quite close to the stage..
Can see Gwen very clearly.. and the screen was right smack in front of our faces...
So it was all goood!

The whole indoor stadium was freakin full!! Probably around 8000++ ppl..
At first everyone around us were sitting down..
I was itching to stand up!
Last2 tak tahan.. after 3 or 4 songs.. aku berdiri je! and those behind us had to stand up to lahhh coz we were blocking their view..
Cmon laa.. how can u sit? Unless it was a Norah Jonah's concert.
Highlight of the whole concert (for me) was masa Hollaback Girl..
I was screaming and singing my lungs out... literally...
It was mad!

Gwen was saying how we were like the loudest audiences ever!
Hell yeah!! She was very grateful at that and was thanking us continuously throughout.
She talked alot.. i like. Interaction is always good.
Told us about how her stepmother-in-law is a Malaysian..
Imagine her stepmother saying "My daughter in-law is Gwen Stefani"..
hahahahhaha
I managed to katam her setlist (dapat kat Wiki je)..
Takde la hafal everything but at least I was able to identify all the songs
and sing along masa chorus..
But no concert has ever made me lose my voice except Incubus'..
I sang every single word of every freakin song for 2 hrs..

So anyway.. moving on..
In the middle of the con, she rann to the back to a mini stage at the end of the floor..
So the ppl sitting on the lower tier at the far end of the stadium literally had Gwen singing 10 inches from them!
Gwen is mad, she didn't even sing on the mini stage, but ran left and right on some folded chairs that have been pushed in to make the floor bigger!
The guitarist and keyboardist were following her left and right.
hahaha it was a funny sight

Eventhough the con did not have an elaborate stage set and gimmicks at all (think Britney's and Christina's and JT's cons), it was soooo fun coz Gwen was soooo freakin energetic and all..
It lasted only 1 and half hrs though.. tak puasssss...
I was really waiting for U Started It but she didn't sing that song..
Well on Wiki they did mention that song maybe main maybe tak main..
Unfortunately, tak main.. man!! so sad.

I only knew about the con nearly being canceled until after the show..
Stupid laa.. as if if the show was canceled "golongan remaja" kita takkan rosak akhlak..
Treating us like stupid and immature kids who doesn't know anything..
Plus, she did abide the restrictions in covering up...
Nanti lepas ni Beyonce nak datang 1st November.. can u imagine Beyonce wearing decent clothes during her concert???
Gawd its soooo wrong! Against pop-culture's nature if u will!
And her con wont be as great..
I can imagine how gempak Beyonce's con will be, even though aku tak minat dia pun..
but i might still go lah.. hehehhh. rugi doooo tak pi..
ok2 can talk about Miss JayZ later.

The sound system wasn't that great, not to my liking anyway..
But it wasn't bad laa.. so-so.. yeah i'm quite particular about what i hear.
Bass wasnt loud enough.. to trebly (hahahaa no such word, but if u get what i mean, vgood)
But the music was awesome!
Very goood musicians who were also backup singers..
The drummer so very the gempak!!
but not as gempak as Godsmack's drummer (they were the opening act for the second Metallica concert i went-not Sanitarium tour).

Oh and since Gwen is obsessed with Japan and Harajuku Girls and whatnot..
Her female dancers were Japanese!
Well, they looked Japanese when cameras went close-up on their faces..
And she confirmed it later on during the show.
I knew some of my frens also attended the con..
Then, after the con, accidentally met all of them! well, nearly all of them..
First saw Deera and Sara...
Then Alip.. Enol.. Biyot..
Then Wann..
good enough..

Tel, aku dengar kau pi gak and got like really great seats???

All in all.. it was worth every single RM i paid.

By the time i reached home, it was 12.30am, after sending Eejay and my cousins home.
Next day (yesterday), went to A Famosa in Malacca for a 2-day course..
Nasib baik last minute my friend got permission to go so he drove..
Then came back today (course finished by lunch time) and terus kena kerja shift petang 3-10pm
Now I'm home.. so glad to be home coz I miss my cats!!!
(side note: I am in love with them lol)
tmrw can wake up late coz shift petang again yeay!
Weekend ni is F1 weekend so looking forward to it!

The only thing that hampered my day (a little) was the news that immediate boss that i like very very much will be transferred elsewhere in a weeks' time
Damn, so sad, he's like the most awesome boss ever..
Oh well, i'm happy for him i guess. he has to move on.. in want of for better pay! hahahahha
I hope he comes back to my dept and becomes Chief Enginner next time (right now Deputy)
Ok2 uninteresting work stories must stop right here.

Now i have nothing to look forward to in the immediate future..
Just a couple of weddings and a futsal+bowling weekend with some ppl from work..
Probably should take a break and rest and hit the gym that i've neglected for a while..
Unless anyone wants to ajak me go karok.. weekend 1st Sept aku free!
elly !!
Alisa !!
Hafiz!!
JOM!
