Journey to the Gods of the East
(Shots from the concert~ Not taken by me though ^^hehehe)
First of all, never did I ever dream that I can actually attend TVXQ's concert, and my dream came true recently.
Together with my tu di and her colleague, we took a coach up to KL one day before the concert.While waiting to board the coach, we already started to get our Dong Bang stuffs, got a Thai mag with them on the cover at Golden Mile. Pics nice but all the words in Thai, dunno how to read eh...:P Haha...nevertheless, 3 of us were excited throughout the journey, the driver played "Resident Evil" inside the coach...Eeewww yucky show, so gross!!!
We reached our hotel, Royal Bintang at ard 3 am plus, nice hotel:). We decided to nap a while and go for breakfast ard 6 am plus den come bac sleep again till abt 11am plus then get ourselves prepared to go to Stadium Merdeka. Breakfast was nice, alot stuffs to eat... I like the special omelette plus drank many glasses of orange juice.
After resting for a while after breakfast, we started to get ourselves ready to go to the stadium. It's quite convenient as we juz need to take the LRT, and it's just 2 stops away from our hotel.
Upon arriving the stadium, I started to get excited le as I saw the stage. Me, Fi, and YT actually prepared some cash to get all the Concert items but in the end only left with the cocnert pictorial book, aiyo...they actually "open stall" at ard 12noon liao, so early...we reached there ard 1 pm plus 2.We decided to walk to the back entrance and we were lucky enough to catch the guys arrivin' in their cars...but could not see clearly who is who leh... after that we decided to go back to the front and try to look for the person in charge to get our tickets...Wa its only 2 pm plus and there are already super alot ppl outside the stadium le , and plus with alot TVXQ posters hangin' ard, looked so similar like wat I saw on TV the usual TVXQ concert in Korea/Japan...almost a sea of Red and Black....
Hmm, abt the tickets, I almost had a heart attack...Apparently the person who was supposed to book my tickets did not book at all (probably some communication breakdown probs or wat) and I nearly burst into tears, and another gal from Spore also din get one of her tics, so both of us try to press the in-charge for our tickets, anyway we came all the way form Spore of cos we dun wan to be left outside the concert ...Later I got in touch with another gal from Spore, she was lucky enough that she got both her tickets.
While waitin for news of my tickets, there were moments when the guys came out a while just to pass through to go to the stage and everyone was screamin away...in the end I only manage to catch Changmin, (Oops!one of my least fav:P). We could hear them rehearsing, nice...heeee:) We also got ourselves FITB DVD as its much cheaper as compared to the price in Spore and somemore it comes with a free concert poster...After that, we went to near See Cheong Gai to have a meal a Mac...eee 3 of us think that the Mac not nice....
Finally gd news came that the in-charge was able to get tickets for us....Thank God!So we quickly went bac to the stadium to get our tickets and we start to get into our queue ( anyway we are seatin' at VVIP(where the sponsors are) seats , not free standing ones, so no worries, heehee).While waitin' there is this mobile KTV vehicle which was playin TVXQ MV and inviting people to go in and sing, kind of cool.
At last! The door was opened and everyone started to rush in , especially those who were the free standing ones. We went to our seats, not too good , not too bad, but erm...its those kopitiam plastic chairs, quite common for concerts in Msia( as I used to get those seats last time when I went for concerts in Msia too)
There's a group of Japanese Fans sittin' in front of us, mostly Yunho's fans, their Yunho's stuffs really nice so we requested to take pics of the stuffs and they agreed, but at this moment...SUAY ah~ the security came & asked me and YT to surrender our cameras. we had no choice but to follow him to the counter and left our cameras there.
When we came bac, Fi told us that the Japs were really nice, they saw our cameras being confiscated, for the sake of da bao bu ping, she actually try to catch other people who were using cams and asked the security to go and confiscate theirs as well. They even treat us to candies and asked us if we were ok, even gave us their super nice Yunho's namecards (^o^)v.
Soon, the concert was abt to start and in 4 languages ( Korean, Jap, Mandarin, English) they were announcing some rules and regulations for the concert.
The concert finally began!!! the sound effects were damn power! They showed stuffs on the big screen and the "curtain" came down and revealing all the 5 members after a short introduction. OMO!!!! TVXQ was juz right before my eyes, simply couldn't believe it!!! Everyone was in a super high mood and we all started to climb and stand onto our chairs to see clearer...The opening song was "Phantom"...nice! And one thing I must say about the concert is their fireworks...very nice ,espeically when they shot so high up into the dark sky, and ya maciam the fireworks were f.o.c, so many times...haha:D and all other stage effects...its worth the money seriously and that korean concert really spend alot $ on all these stage stuffs ...all the rotating platforms, etc...
As we were surrounded by the stage, sometimes I really had headache of who to look at, especially when Yoochun is at one side, Junsu at the other and Yunho at the back, I kept on turnin here and there, giddy man!hahaha...When Yoochun came nearer to our side, me n Fi were really excited as our dearest Yoochunnie was juz right in front of our eyes, unbelievable! Yunho's side view and back view is really nice lo, I kept on tellin YT. Too bad that Yunho's still had his waist/back problems and most of the songs he did not dance.I wanted to see him dance the front part of 'O', but in the end Junsu replaced him.
Yoochunnie's solo item was nice , he sang "One Last Cry", I finally got to hear it live and managed to record it down in my mp3 player and handphone too^^.Other's solo were nice too..First time heard them sing live, especially the ballads, aiyo, is nice dao~ really got the shi li. Junsu slipped 2 times , one during his solo and another during 'O'. Yoochunnie almost tripped and fell during the concert, but luckily he managed to balance,heeee.Junsu abit chubby heee very cute when he said "Bery hot". Yoochun's English really very de slang...Changmin very boyish, Jaejoong very pretty and haha get to hear his typical one and only laughter...Yunho~ooh chest very wohooo!~At one point , Yunho was wavin at our direction...
The video clips that were showin' during parts of the concert were very nice n cute too, especially the one before the song "Drive" , aiyo all of them were so funny...another one is the animation before the song "Balloon", everyone was laughing. During "Drive" Yoochunnie and Yunho were" drivin" a car, poor Yunho, bullied by Yoochunnie :P
During the song " Balloon",everyone was very high, especially when 5 of them drove their planes out...so adorable!!! Changmin's plane had some probs and could not really moved, he appeared very lost. When they sang " Hi Ya Ya" they were drovin their planes back ,Jaojoong & Yunho were speeding, Yoochunnie was driving slowly and he was on and off hiding inside his plane, damn kawaii~During a part at "Hi Ya Ya" Yoochun was dancing Cha-Cha with Yunho,cute!
When they sang "Remember" they all stood in a row and the stage/platform started to rise high up....very got "feel"de shuo ...
During the encore session, they came out to sing "Hug" , one of my most fav song !!!( it was the first song that made me noticed them)Finally get to see the "legendary" Yoosu moment....halfway through the song Junsu was "pinchin" Yoochun's chin and singin and lookin at each other'~Ooooo~Den my dear dear Yoochun started to become even more playful, he took someone's santa hat to wear and took a balloon too, den at one point he put it in front of his tummy and asked Jaejoong to hit it. In the end both of them hug together and tried to burst the balloon,and yes they did it! hahaha~
There are so much more to say abt the concert...really a very memorable concert~
After the concert, 3 of us went to da bao some supper back to the hotel to eat, and we kept on talkin' abt the concert...me & YT was chattin' abt them till abt 4-5am plus, i think.
Next day, we took the coach bac to Singapore in the afternoon...we were tired but happy.Really enjoyed myself loads for this trip, nice companions ( Fi & YT) too!heehee,shall look forward to the next TVXQ concert!!!
DONG BANG SHIN KI~HWAITING!~(^o^)p
