Live...at T Music Festival...

Finally i've experienced my first ever pop concert in my entire existence...and T Music Festival was great!!! great is really an understatement but it's almost 4am and the part of the brain that controls my vocabulary must be asleep now...anyway, the show started quite on time...it was 7.10pm when the MCs came out to announce the commencement of the party...it is now raining as i'm typing this and i thank God that it didn't rain throughout the 6 hours plus show...God's timing is great huh?

I took the LRT to bukit jalil stadium coz i thought driving there would be an insane idea...reached there about 6.20pm...i walked towards the stadium and saw many ppl who were already there.. went to the ticket counter to ask where was the rm268 tics entrance coz i didn't see any sign...ended up going in through the wrong entrance..had to be escorted to the other entrance..the vip entrance..hehe..my seat was row M seat 16...M16...;) it was at the end of the row next to the stairs...quite middle...so i had a great view...oh, and i found out what T stood for...Tiger..as in the beer...coz Tiger was one of the sponsor...smart move huh?

The show started with Andrew Tan (Malaysia)..then Rickman Sie (Malaysia)...then a singaporean singer..next up was James (Thailand)...never really knew what was so great about him except that maybe he looked a bit like Wang Leehom (from afar)...then it was ManHand (Malaysia)...the basist actually looked quite cute, hehe...Soler (Hong Kong) came next...never heard of them...but they were quite the rock band...then it was another Hongkie singer, Hoi Meng Wai...and some pretty boy Hongkie singer who's quite forgettable...

Up next, Power Station (Taiwan)...another rock band...and they sang quite long...but their songs are quite cool...then it was Liu Li Yang (China)...really like her "Yan Lei Xiao Le"...but her outfit was pretty hideous...when Chin (Thailand ) came onto stage and started performing, suddenly the whole stadium blacked-out...and then there was smoke coming from the power source...somebody overloaded the power system i guess...we had to wait for more than half-hour before the electricity came back on...and i was so worried that they'd cancelled the concert...coz Khalil hasn't performed yet at that time...oh no!!! but the MCs and some of the singers entertained us while they were fixing the power...Justin (HK), Khalil, Kay Tse (HK), David Tao (Taiwan), Sam Lee and Z-Chen (Malaysia) came out to sing acapella using a hailer...that kept the crown happy for a while...thank God for His kindness coz the lights came back on...phew!!! the show is back on the road...

So Chin performed...his signature "Yu Jian Ni", the sony cybershot Skinny T theme song or something like that...then it was some Malaysian female singer singing some irritating songs...but when the next Malaysian male singer came up, both of them dueted JJ Lin's song "Xiao Jiu Wo", which i like...then it was the moment i've been waiting for...Khalil came on stage...woohoo!!!! i went down the stairs to get a closer look...wanted to film his performance but the stupid organizers and rela ppl won't allow...party-poopers!!! so i ended up just gazing at Khalil from afar (not unlike some love-lorn teenager, hehe)...he sang "Ai Ai Ai", Singalong Song, Love Song and Nothing's Gonna Change My Love For You...he didn't sing Wonderful Tonight..:(...if only he did...it'd have been the best performance of the night...and he didn't even have to do gimmicks like the other singers...oh well, life's full of disappointments...

After that, it was Z-chen (Malaysia)...something went wrong with the music during his performance...so he got fed up and started singing acapella...he sounded good singing Whitney Houston's I Will Always Love You...powerful vocals...then it was Sam Lee's turn...i just love his voice..it's so nasal..and yet it sounds so good when he sings..and he's tall...though not too good looking...managed to film most of his performance...hehe...avoided the watchful eyes of the organizers discreetly...next was Kay Tse....she's got a nice voice..better than Fiona Sit's...and her dressing style is quite retro...pretty...

Justin came on next...apparently he's got the most fans among the crowd...though i don't see why... i guess most ppl are into hip-hop these days...then it was Davis Tao's turn...his fan base is quite strong too...really got the crowd going...he sang his new song "An Lian" and his signature "Ai Hen Jia Dan"...finally Joey Yung (HK) came on stage...she was the last performer of the night...by then it was already 1am...and yet the crowd was still going strong...i supposed everyone was waiting for her...though again, i don't see what's the big deal...besides the fact she was pretty...but she did sing the song i like..."Zhe Jiu Shi Ai Ma"...found out that it was written by JJ Lin..cool...

My butt and practically my whole body were aching all over by then...stadium chairs are the most un-ergonomical...and my heels killed my feet...thank God i didn't get the rm400 ticket which would have granted me access to the floor which was a lot nearer to the stage, but would have required me to stand throughout the whole concert...i would have needed both feet amputation if that was the case...next time, i'm gonna wear t-shirt, shorts and slippers to concerts like that...then i can buy the vvip ticket and stand whole night...hehe...

So, i didn't get to watch Khalil sing Wonderful Tonight live...and i didn't get to see him close enough to get him to sign my album...but i still had a marvelous time...i was like an 18 year-old kid again... cat-calling, screaming and wolf-whistling my heart out...it's a good thing that i went alone..no one there knew me anyway..hahaha...HIlton's sponsoring the celebs' accomodation...i'm rather tempted to go stalk Khalil out...hahahaha...yea, wishful thinking...i should just go sleep now and dream that he'd come knocking on my door....hahahaha....sigh..i need help...
