I thought I have written the last post for the holiday. But yeah, something that happened last night changed it. So guess what, I went to Usher's concerttttt last night! Heee. It still felt surreal until now. And I dont know whether its because of either that was my first concert or because it was USHER?! Well, I think its a mixture of both :)
Okay now, let me tell you the behind the scenes story. I was not planning at all to watch Usher. Yeah Im a big fan of him but seeing the ticket prices, I was like, "Im so not going!" I dont have that much of money left to fork out. I told myself "Oh well, maybe nanti when Im rich he'll come again and do another concert or whatever". Haha yup. But then, it was the night before the concert and I was surfing the net (as usual, ehem) and macam terfikir untuk just google if ada orang nak jual the tickets cheaper than the original price. Yela, dalam ramai-ramai orang da tickets, bukan semua boleh pergi kan? Heh. So cuba lah try luck.
Then we saw ada advertisement kat mana tah, dia kata nak jual ticket yang RM348 tu at RM200 je! Qma and I was like "whatttt the!?" murah gilaaa. Haha. So qma la tolong negotiate dengan mama, (I dont have the money la, duhh and I dont like asking, ish T_T) and mama said "okay boleh". So kitorang pon call la, then dia kata "The tickets are bought already". Damn! Ok then nak sedapkan hati pergi la Axcess punya website, tengok seating map dia, turns out RM348 tu kena stand, so being the diva la kan, mana larat nak diri lama2. Dalah pendek. Haha. Hati sedap sikit la, tak la kecewa sangat. Then google lagi, jumpa advertisement dekat Mudah.com, ada orang nak jual voucher from TM yang boleh redeem 2 tickets for guess how much? RM 60 je! Haha we were like "Oh My God, yang ni pleaseee la adaaa!"
Then qma called the person and asked about the voucher, she said ada lagi and we can come to pick it up kat Shah Alam (She works at TM Shah Alam). She got the tickets from her friend and she cant go so she's selling it la. So yeaaah, we were like happyynyaa! 2 tickets for RM 60! How lucky can you get? :D Hee. The ticket's price was originally RM 98 each, so yeah we save dalam RM126! Everything happened so fast, seriously.
Esok, pukul 11 terus pergi Shah Alam dengan mama. Fetched the voucher,and kat situ tulis pulak yang we have to redeem the tickets before 5 pm. At first, we were planning to go at 5pm with Farah. So takut la nak pegi petang then dah tak boleh redeem kan. So off we went to Stadium Bukit Jalil dalam pukul 12 lebih and arrived there at 1 pm. Turns out, orang yang bawak ticket tu tak sampai lagi! Boleh takkkk?! It says dekat voucher tu from 10 am to 5 pm okayy. Ni pukul 1 pm tak sampai lagi apa cerita? Ee geram dah time tu dengan those TM people. Kesian gila kalau ada orang tunggu since 10 am! Nasib la dengar Stadium buat sound check and ada la Usher's songs so sejuk sikit hati -_- Diorang sampai pukul 1.30 at last and terus ambik tiket and balik.
At 5pm, Farah picked us up and we managed to go to McD's drive thru to grab some bites. Ate in the car while waiting for the rain to stop. (Yes, the rain was welcoming Usher) Then turun kereta and nampak line dah panjang jugak laa. Beratur in the rain for like 40 mins before entering the stadium.
This is Qma and me. At first.
This is me. After the rain went heavier.
The opening acts were Iz OIAM (Funny how people dont know him and went "Siapa niiii?" haha i dont know him either, cuz didnt watch much OIAM dulu.) Then it was Alif OIAM (Ha yang ni dah ramai kenal sikit la, hehe) and lastly it was Misz Nina. She sang her new song, not bad la I think. Tapi yela, everybody was waiting for Usher! Hee. Oh yea, to our surprise, the Queen also went to the concert! Like SERIOUSLYYY!? Dia pun a big fan of Usher? Haha
Then finally, the superstar came out and sang Caught Up as his first song! Woohoo! Memang orang tak berenti menjerit la. He sang all of MY favourite tunes of him; Yeah, My Boo, Burn, You Remind Me alongside OMG, Daddy's Home, I Need A Girl, Caught Up and other songs. His dance moves were like perfect! His known for that pun kan :)
He didn't talk much but he did mention that he was single and showed his bare hands as proof. Haha. He also commented on the signs that the fans made. One of it said "Marry Me" and he said, "Oh well, you know, that ain't work for me but I love you too. And you're mine!" Haha. Two lucky b*****s got his towel that he threw to the crowd. To me, my absolute favourite performance was Burn! :)
Kicked things off with Caught Up
Sadly, the concert wasn't long, only about 1 hour and 45 minutes jeee. But yes, it was pure fun and joy. I pinched my fat cheeks during the concert to make sure I wasn't dreaming of seeing Usher performing live baybeh! Im glad it wasn't a dream! :)
This is Farah and me. After the concert. Masih rasa surreal.
So yeah, it wasn't planned and that made it even moreeee wonderful!
Thanks to Mama for sponsoring the tickets (there's no way I'd go without her) and drove me to Shah Alam and Bukit Jalil for the tickets. Thanks to Farah for taking me there! Thanks to Qma sayang for teman-ing me.
(Note to readers and self : Be good to your parents and sisters and they will be good to you! I have proof!)
And to my other half; Tyqa, I was so sorry that you didn't get to go. It was a last minute decision and you still have those hellorientation to go through. (I told you it was hell!) But we did get something for you and I (somehow) brought back Usher for you! (In my camera la, video recorded especially for you to see he sang and danced) :)
Looking at my previous post, I already said that this holiday has been wonderful, but yes, this concert, this Usher Live In Malaysia 2010 Concert, made my holiday perfect. Trip to Tawau, an experience as the director for the challenging project, holidays at two different places, shopped till I dropped, eat, eat and eat, spending time with the besties including a sleepover, lazing around and to end things beautifully, I get to see Usher's concert!? How blessed can I get?
Thank you God, for everything ♥
p/s : If you wanna watch some video clips of Usher performing yesterday, got to Farah's blog. She's the rajin one to upload!
