Lotsa Good Gigs!

(DT autograph session)

I just realized that there are numerous concerts this year. When I say the 2008 is a year of concerts, I'm sure nobody will disagree with me. After a gap of more than a decade, I finally got to attend a concert last year with my pal, Cindy. It was Gwen Stefani's. It was an enjoyable show with a ultra hyper Gwen! @the beginning, the crowd's response was rather lukewarm, I must say. A few couples whom I saw were literally glued to their seats, as if they were watching SSO or some sort of LOVE movie. Are they sure they are @the right place??? :O I mean, Hello, with a hyper Gwen Stefani concert & all the songs that get us boggie-ing, who on earth in his/her right mind would sit down thru'out the entire concert? For one thing, I couldn't help but boggie along with the music! The climax came when Gwen suddenly came down from the stage & stood @ the platform near the sound mixer programming equipment. She then sang "COOL", one of my favourite songs. All of us were caught in such a surprise that we kept screaming & cheering! She then mingled with the fans & shook hands with them! WOW! But we were quite far away...sad! The concert ended 10.15pm....too short! We want more!

Then during January, another of my favourite artists, Jay Chou came for a 2 night concert. I was extremely delighted & was planning to go but it turned out most tics with good seats were snatched up by overly-enthusiastic fans via the priority OCBC credit card! :( Darn unfair! I was utterly disappointed!

But thank God for more gigs. I was able to attend the Maroon 5 concert with my buddy, Cindy again. One word to describe it...AWESOME! The band could REALLY play LIVe so darn well! The chemistry between them, I mean, was amazing! No wonder they are winners of the recent Grammy Award of "Best pop performance". They truly deserved to win! :) Their performance was utterly electrifying! I was enjoying every minute of it, especially the loud, mean sounds of the electric guitars played by the lead singer, Adam Levine & guitarist, James Valentine. While i was 'electrified' by the band, my good friend was completely mesmerized & 'electrocuted' by Mr Levine's cool & sexy charm...hahah! LOL! I better dun laugh @her leh... coz' if I see my favourite WM, I think I will be equally hysterical as her! HOHOHO! Overall, we had a great time but the only complaint (& I'm sure I'm not the only one)was that it was too short...again. Its like you spent so much but yet not completely satisfied. Sigh! Maroon 5, please be back again...coz' we Won't Go Home Without YOu!

Gosh, is this getting too long? Oh the heck!

Coming right up...David Tao concert! Cindy & I went to his concert tic autograph session last Sunday @The Central. Ulu Sunday afternoon. But as both of us had sufficient rest the day before, we decided to go. We got the tics so should just go ahead! So there we were,in the queue around 3.30pm, with the session scheduled to commence 4pm. We shopped awhile before that.
DT was late! (as if unexpected. most stars are expected not to arrive early) Cindy & I were already feeling rather restless & tired. Finally after 40mins, Mr Tao arrived! FINALLY, after a long & tiring wait. DT went on chatting with the host about his upcoming concert 1st & proceeded to the moment we've been waiting for...AUTOGRAPH SESSION! Good thing we were within the 1st 100 fans, we got the concert poster! yippee! Cameras were flashing we queued in line to wait for our turn. The queue was so fast that I didn't realize its my turn. My heart was thumping extremely fast as I got nearer to DT! Oh my gosh! I was so nervous! The security guard passed my poster & concert tic for him to sign. He looked up @me & greeted me a warm "Hello". Eye-contact. I nervously greeted back. He was soooo polite! I suddenly realized that he already finished signing & he stretched out his hand. I immediately shook his hand & wished him his concert a success. He thanked me. :) We managed to take few of his photos after that. Cindy mentioned afterwards that no wonder DT is so popular amongst ladies! Ladies' man! I reckon it must gotta alot to do with the environment he was brought up in. For one thing, how I wish all guys to be as gentlemanly as him!....especially my future hubby!

Alrighty, countdown to DT concert- 2 weeks.

I'm proceeding to dreamland now.....yawn....hope to see DT in my dreams....or WM....or....zzzzzz....
