hey yall..
i just realised that i didnt blog about my Westlife Face to Face Singapore Tour that i went on the 8th of September 2006!!..
k so, now i will blog almost all about it!.. haha.. that is if i can rmb every second that happened..

hmm, ok.. so, i went to the Westlife Concert on the 8th of Sept, Friday nite.. i thought i was late.. so i went out ard 6 plus.. i took the train to the indoor stadium mrt there.. then took a cab from there to the venue.. im a noob at concerts.. so i dont know how to go.. anw, hmm, on the train i met sabri.. my brother! man.. it was such a joyful occasion like that.. i was shocked to see him.. but happy at the same time.. i haven seen him in a loooong time.. and we were in the same circle of frens who see each other everyday.. so u can imagine how i was.. he was also lost for words.. that's y i say.. no matter how long u dont see ur secondary skul frens.. they will still have that kinda reaction when u meet.. and that's that special thing that makes u smile..
anw, then, took a cab to the venue.. it was so special for me.. my first concert and its one of my favourite boybands of all time!.. im a big fan of pop music.. and being a 90's kid.. u grow up listening to the likes of Westlife, Backstreet Boys and N'sync.. so when i was queuing up to go inside.. i was so nervous.. didnt know wad to expect.. oh ya btw, i went there alone.. no one wanted to go.. its a once in a lifetime thing.. u nv know when they will be back... and ur not willing to go.. well, im not that stupid.. i just HAD to go no matter wad..

went inside the indoor stadium.. bought light stick and drinks.. quite ex the drinks inside.. haha.. ok, so entered the door.. went to find my seat.. i was gonna sit next to 3 JC girls.. i not so sure wad JC though, i think mayb its Shu Ying's JC.. anw, they are gd looking i might add! btw, u know how they say in the terms and condition that u cannot bring camera or recording things.. i realli realli thought u cannot bring.. so i didnt bring.. and to my surprise..i can say 80% in attendance brought camera la.. stupid stupid me!..throughout the concert i realli wanted to approach the girls and ask them whether they could be kind enuff to send me the pictures later on.. but as usual i was too scared to ask.. and lost the biggest chance to hold memories of that nite.. to me pictures are more than paper.. they are everlasting memories..
it was kinda awkward sitting along amogst groups of people.. everyone seemed like they had people to converse to and to share the excitement with.. but i was by myself.. i felt alone.. i felt vulnerable.. and people who know me should know that i had being alone amongst people.. but for Westlife i just had to endure..
so then they came out with their first number "Flying Without Wings"... i was star-struck, in awe, speechless and every kind of freaking emotions u can feel at once!.. i was sooo excited to see them, LIVE!!!!!!.. they were literally ard 10 metres or less away from me!.. i thought to myself throughout the performance that i should have put in an extra 20 bucks to get the BEST seats in the house.. damnit..
being an outrageous fan, i knew almost all the songs that nite.. and it was more of a sing-a-long session with me and the REAL singers.. OMG, their voices were amazing!!!.. shane and mark's voice were unimaginably perfect.. it was like listening to the CD.. they are truly the REAL deal.. there is no doubt about that.. their voice echoed throughtout the stadium and the constant catchy chorus that everyone seem to know and was singing that nite made the atmostphere unforgettable!

the highlight of the nite for me was the time when they did the Michael Jackson impersonation with "She's Back/ Billie Jean".. i was literally at the edge of my seats.. if there is another singer who i am more crazy about other than Westlife, would be Michael Jackson!!!.. the moment that recognisable first beats to the song was played.. i was totally amazed.. and they were dressed the MJ way.. with the gloves and the hat!.. people around me was like " eh eh, michael jackson song.. was song ar wad song." i just wanted to slap them in the face.. HELLO?! how can anyone not know.. i was singing along like i was the only person in the stadium.. the guy who sat next to me, occasionally gave me the shocked look.. cus i was realli quiet sitting in my seat.. only until they came out..
song after song i was truly a fan that nite.. singing and joining the crowds as our voices echoed through the arena in unison.. and me, getting excited and acting like a kid in a candy shop, whenever any member of the band came to my side and waved.. hahaha.. and with the light stick waving, trying to gain their attention.. hahaa.. and kian even waved and smiled.. directly in my direction..
if anyone who knows me, im obsessed with music.. and im obsessed with Mariah Carey, MJ, Westlife, Beyonce, etc.. they are my idols.. so, wouldnt it only be right if i were to get over excited if i were to get the chance to see and wave at them.. WHO WOULDNT!..

3/4 throught the concert.. they said goodbye.. and that's where the whole stadium was rumbling with the phrase " WE WANT MORE! WE WANT MORE!".. i know that that this kinda things usually happen in concerts where the performer will come back for an encore.. and i was praying for one!.. so then they came out.. busting their hit songs.. it was a moment where i just serenade into Westlife's golden classics.. songs which i grew up listening to.. it was realli touching and their performance was impeccable in my opinion.. i have nv been to their concert bfore.. but this one made all the waiting worth while...

the concert showcased their classics and also their new hits.. one of which was "Amazing"... perfect singing on their behalf.. ive alwaez admired the TRUE artiste who's voice and talent surpass everyone else's.. who goes inside the recording studio, sings, and who doesnt need much vocal editing.. these are the artistes who i try to mimic whenever i sing.. and hell, i love to sing.. that's for sure..

all in all.. that Friday night, the 8th September 2006 could perhaps be THE most memorable night of my life.. the most memorable happy night of my life.. i came out of the stadium with a huge smile on my face.. oblivious to my surrounding... and their voices and songs were playing in my head...
i didnt regret anything.. after that i didnt care if i had gone alone or with frens.. cus sometimes u cannot realli depend on anyone for anything.. u still need urself.. and that's wad ive learnt.. and i came home and planted a big kiss for my mom who gave me the chance to go witness to my favourite band's concert that nite!.. and i thnk her for that..

nothing could describe that experience.. the wk's worth of bad happenings were forgotten after that great, once in a lifetime, amazing performance by the impeccable group, Westlife...

*peace out*
great things come once in a while..
take the chance
before you wont be able to..
enjoy it, live it...
