This is it.

The cool looking VIP tix. No? lol


OK. This might post might be lengthy, draggy and crappy with unnecessary details and excessive use of the word awesome.

So, i've decided after several nights and days day-dreaming and re-playing FT Island songs in my head, i need to do a fan account. Yes, a fan account. Well, it's not everyday FTI come here and sing 23 freaking song to me (i mean, to their fans here). Whatever it takes i need to watch them live. hoho, and i did it. I'm sorry mum, i wish to tell you before hand, but considering how much you hate Jaejin and FT Island overall, i plan not to. Wouldn't it be risky if i ask her permission first. And yeah, added to that, as i wrote before, i have FREAKIN' FINAL EXAM PAPER on the next day. Told ya whoever give school as their excuse not to supporting their favorite artist, i shall give them a good spank on their faces. And i think the paper was OK. i mean, nothing weird asked. oh maybe because i was smiling during the whole 2.30 hrs and everything seems to be easy.IONO. but it's not healthy tho' to smile and day dreaming during your final exam.

Oh yeah, continue to our journey to the glorious(srsly i need google to spell it for me) moment of my fandom life: PLAY! FT ISLAND CONCERT live in Malaysia. After so many obstacles, discrepancy and whatnot, we arrived there quite on time. Me, my sister, my unnie drive there and we meet our beloved Fawid unnie who helped us so much with the ticketing.She's so kind willing to advance the tix for me. kamdongness at it's highest level. hihi. and with our excited face on, we get into Negara Stadium (don't judge me, Jaejin said so) and manage to bring in our Nikon (woot~) and my friends compact. you don't wanna know what we did to conceal those camera. keke.

Next, we went our separate way (cause vip tix price is to much to handle) with my sister and my unnie used other entrance and me and Fawid unnie used the main entrance. Me is so excited, and after few pre-concert photos, i seated and fanning myself suddenly the stadium went dark and i heard few announcement made my FNC staff about the rock zoner. fuhh, you don't know how much i dugeun2 who knows they did it like 4 years back. After few minutes, while waiting for the opening act like always, BAMM~!!! i heard fan screaming and i saw the members walking on stage and Jonghun ady put his guitar on. This is it, there's no way the concert will be cancelled during the song rite? LOL They started of with I HOPE and i held my phone high to record it. There's no adjective to describe how my heart felt to the improvised intro of the song, it's so awesome. Eventho Jonghun kinda failed to 'goreng' his part as always, he manage to make me scream like there's no 2moro. Then, after the first song finished, i change to my compact to shoot few photos and wait... I DID NOT RECORD I HOPE AT ALL. my phone camera sucks big time. No, me actually. i was like WHAT? how long you've been using this bloody phone? this is not the time to screw up. NOT DURING I HOPE LIVE PERFORMANCE. Anyway, after the commotion with both cameras, i sit straight back to watch them, the right hand holding the phone while the left hand waving the Pentastic and continued to watch them performing 23 songs in total.well if i'm not mistaken. huhu.

The highlight of the performances (for me):
1. Improvised intro of I Hope is awesome because they only did that during Hall Tour encore concert, Budokan Tour Messenger and the latest was during GDA in Osaka.
2. They (Hongki) sang 3 songs from Immortal Song 2. Usually they only sing one which is 'That Person in Sinsadong', 'Like a Doll' and my personal most favourite, 'I'll Love Everything'. It kinda like the most epic IS rerun ever.
3.They did Sunshine acoustic version, which is NOWHERE to be found except in their first Play! FTI concert here in Malaysia. It's their song from Return album however, i think they should sing 'Oh' too. keke.
4.During 'I Confess', which is the awesome-est ever (not to mention all Prims kinda star-struck and kya-ing they forgot to fanchant when JH first singing the song), Minani did an awesome job in singing the high note of the song. I was like kya-ing to the point that the real 'VIP' infront of us looked back to see whose voice it was.
5. Don Quixote song is awesome as always.(but i need to meet my sis due to the camera i only watched it halfway)
6.Instead of singing their usual After Love and Lovesick, they sing Lovesick and Until You Return instead which is AWESOME~ anyhow, i want to listen to After Love too, the song which got me into them.
7. Their last song which is 'Saedeul Cheoreom' is brilliant and also i quite satisfied with the sing along part of the first verse. This is the first time i compliment Malaysian's fans fanchant.
8. Well, the whole concert is the highlight but it would take the whole day to write and you know how good i am at writing...crap. LOL
9. They sang 3 Jap songs and one of them is I Want omg it's like my song of the year. But they din perform Satisfaction and Distance. hur
10. I like it the best when Jaejin introduce Even If Your Tears in English~ Woot. But i wonder why he din sing the first verse, which is his part. It got me thinking WAE?

The concert started at 8.36pm and finished sharp on 10.32pm. So, we kinda rushed out of the stadium to meet at the entrance. After saying good bye to Fawid unnie, we walked to the parking lot to head back to my uni. The traffic was bad maybe because it's Saturday night and luckily due to the awesome-ness of my sister's the-smallest-in-it's-league car combined with her driving skill, we reached my univ. at 11.58pm. Told ya, it's breath taking moment thinking that i have exam paper 2moro at 9, there's no way we gonna stay outside.When we got to my room casually i wash up a lil' bit and head back to my study table to do last minute revision like nothing happen.That night i slept at 1.53am. The next morning as usual went to CAC main hall, and sit for the exam while smiling randomly and then i remember, no wonder i'm so happy last night was FT Island concert...but here i am sitting for Fiq for Economist 1 paper. -.=

But the not-so-cool things are:
1. i failed to buy their concert merchandise because those i want ady sold out.
2. My other sister can't go with us because she's getting ready to be posted (?) and mum doesn't seems cool with the idea of her being away from home and rush to go to Johore the next day.
3. We have to buy 'un-official' lightstick because the original version is sold-out.
4.Our Nikon kinda acting up because it got this weird red light come out and getting extra attention of the RELA nearby.
5. We din get to met Bang n Jelo due to time constraint.Jelo ya, mian.
6.Once again: VIP seating area is BAWRING. srsly, there were only 3(THREE) lightstick seen in that area. CAN YOU IMAGINE?

The best thing:
1. Mission accomplish, i g0t to record their performances well not much, i din even looking at the camera and at least i have their voices recorded.lol
2. Luckily we didn't get ourselves caught on camera because there's no way i'll be seen around Negara Stadium watching a concert when i have exam the next morning. (Another reason why i din tell mum)
3. We changed the camera during their performance since in my sister's area, the RELA kept bugging her so she gave me the Nikon and she used the compact. I'm so excited and the pictures taken turned up not bad too. keke.
4. I got to meet Jade (our fellow prada stalker and walkerz) me so jelly, she got media pass. can't wait for her pictures to be uploaded. yay!
5.We also got to meet Keith the Square Root staff we bought the tix from at GH Market near our house beside pasar malam.
6.We got to say hi to Baki and doesn't seems to recognize us maybe because my other sister is not around. But i think he recognized my sister.


"Lastly, i would like to thank everyone who made this and help this to happen. My brother who lend me the money, my sister, who drove me back home and have to drive back to her place,my other sister who can't go with us but give us pocket money and willing to pay the money i borrowed from my brother, my unnie who willing to replace my other sister and accompany us and Fawid unnie who help us so much. *wiping overflowing tears." -i know this one is epic, but i want to say it-

Phew~ I think i have quite said what i think about the event that night, this is the kick start of my fangirling event this year. But still i can't get over it just yet. Maybe i'll have their concert buzzing in my head until we attend the next event. Luckily the semester is over and i'm in 3 weeks vacation. It will be quite weird to day-dreaming in classes and smiling over quizzes.^^v
