it must be fated, my headache made the choice for me.
friday morning i woke up with a bad headache, usually i would hate the pain, but somehow, i love it this morning. i called sandy and said i cant' go kayaking and find out how i can do it another time (ok, i'll still have to do it eventually, but at least not on a headache day).
i went back to bed.
i woke up at 2.30pm, the radio clock woke me.
the DJ informed that Mayday will be on a telephone interview on air soon.
i woke up, feeling giddy, wash up and heard them over the radio.
and i hesitated if i should pop down to IMM this afternoon. not for the signing session or the mini concert, but they are selling the concert ticket today! Pre-sale! the actual sale will be on saturday, online and on-site, but knowing singaporean, and mayday fans, it would be nothing left by sat.
so i carried my giddy head and hail a cab down to IMM.
i found the sistic outlet counter, followed by a long queue. that was 4.30pm.
i saw the last person at the end of the queue and asked if he is 'the end'. he said yah. i asked how long he has been standing in line, he said not too long, but the line does not seem to be moving much.
so i stood there, and read my book.
5pm, i am still there. more people have joined the queue.
5.30pm, still there, making a little progress.
6pm, still there.
6.30pm, the mini concert on Level 3 is suppose to start at 6pm, but it has not. the queue for the concert ticket got longer.
7pm, still there.
7.15pm, margaret and gang arrived and saw me in the queue. we chatted. mar offered to queue for me, i said it's ok. she has been in queue for 9 hours with the gang accompanying adam for the audition for Campus Superstar since. luckily adam got in, worth the good friends' wait and support! :)
7.30pm, alex arrived. i am still in queue. he went up to Level 3 to see what was happening. people are starting to move into the roof-top garden for the mini concert.
7.45pm, decided to let alex take over my spot and i went up to the concert. you need the new version cd to get in. good thing i have it.
concert:
packed. i can't see a thing.
i went to the side and managed to snap 2 pics before the security guard came and said we can't be there.
i walked to the back where some people were also standing and just listening. can't see a bloody thing.
i stood there for another 2 songs, decided to leave, a policeman came over and commented that i should go to the side if i want to take better pictures.
i smiled and said "Uncle, can't you get the people in front to sit down
"no lah, they want to dance, they won't sit down one. you go by the side there lah."
"how to? won't the guards stop us?"
"not if we close one eye."
"not if we close one eye."
"then you walked there with me lah?" i tried my luck.
he walked there with me. no one questioned me when i went in from the side barrier to the front.
there, i had a much better view! thanks to the policeman!.
after the mini concert, there was a signature session. to my surprise, the fans were so in order, waiting patiently for the group to appear on stage again, and going up in line for the signature. i got to see all of them 5 and shake their hands and they were so polite and to each person that went up, they looked up from their signing, to say hi and shake hands with you.
after that i rushed down because poor alex is still in queue. i joined him and we stood in queue till we got the ticket, at 10.20pm. and surprise, mar is still around at IMM, and she bought me food and drink, as if i'm doing some hard work! really, i don't deserve it, but thanks, mar! :)
altogether, 6 hours in line to get the concert ticket.
good thing i had the headache, good thing i went to queue.
sistic website is down today, no way to get tickets.
anyway, the most expensive tickets were almost out last night.
June 2nd. yeah yeah yeah!
standing at the side, i saw nothing.
getting small side-views
with mr policeman's help, i had a better view, in the front.
so grateful for it.
fans going up stage in an orderly manner.
waiting for my turn down stage, caught a glismp of the lead singer
the concert tickets we queued 6 hours for.
