they are like the best pics i can find online of ytd.. :(


prior to the concert, i was struggling real hard if i should go for it. money issues. but at the last minute, i still went ahead with it, although bought only the $38 tic. when i went into the stadium, for the first time ever, i was seriously disappointed. i was a bit like hmmmm. cos my seat sucks. but well it IS $38 afterall. but i did expect alot more. so half of my excitement was gone alr. what with the rain and it delayed the schedule big time. to be honest, i wasnt used to my sucky seats, cos i ALWAYS had really really good seats. thanks to my sis' friend. and counting, this is my 7th mayday concert, 6 i had super good seats. so you can imagine la. lol.

i felt so far away from the action and excitement, and ah xin was as small as my fingernails. i was seriously quite sad. my section was so cut off! and i couldnt see the stage properly. :( but yeah.. i just treated it as my ktv session. i sang loud! but very out of tune. hehe.

i always pride myself in saying that i'm NOT the ordinary fan. you wont see me splurging on their merchandise, buying all those shirts, screaming just to touch one of them (okay la i will get excited la but not in that way!), and just you know... typical fans. haha. so hmmm yes, i am still very much a fan, but a different sort. if there is ever this kinda genre.

overall, i really enjoyed myself. the fireworks was the best part. it was so pretty! the lights, and all. super wow. seeing how high it can go in the sky.

i just gotta say, i really really love mayday so much. it was such an endearing moment, to sit there and see it coming to pass. ah xin was saying 10 years ago, they were informed they are going overseas first time and to singapore to perform, and they did. since then they wished to have an outdoor concert, and ytd, they did.

just was thinking, wow 10 years! imagine how much they've accomplished in these 10 years! from a nobody, to where they are now. with practically no concert effects, to all those fireworks and the acts. even though every year when the concert is bigger, the distance between us is greater, but i truly felt so proud.

i guess to be able to conquer the outdoor stadium (not the whole thing), in such a small country like singapore does speak alot. in a big country, of course its easy to fill out the whole place, but such a place as singapore, it does give alot of satisfaction. considering that mandopop is not the only music here. so yes, i was so proud. :)

(oh, reading the book that i am now + mayday pounding away in your ears, seriously that is one of the most liberating thing to your soul ever. i felt so so liberated. freedom. cos the book + mayday's direction runs together and it is truly inspiring.)


i guess i can always identify so much with mayday because they've always been 'mad' in their own way. they have touched and inspired me in ways unimaginable. they are the living example of alot of things that people dare not pursue. they have such power in their hands, to impact the lives of so many. more than enjoying the concert, i always applaud their efforts of trying to convince more people, even if its one, to live out their lives, to break out of the norm, and to love. it is no easy task.

and i was just thinking the other day, how hard it is, to be in their position and their stature, to keep churning things out to inspire, to excite, to create. because it means it must be greater, it must be better, it must be fresher. but well, they did it. again and again and again. and to dream again and again, conquering new grounds, spreading their beliefs. because more than all these, they are deep people themselves. okay, i speak for ah xin only cos i guess i only seen him before this way.

i dont know why am i always so attracted to people like this, but well. he is one love of my life that i'll forever admire. and well, i always wondered what is it like to be living their lives. to always be living on the edge, to always do what you love, everyday, living it to the extreme. must be really cool.

okay such a long post. should stop now. but just got to say again, i really love mayday alot. :) and i promised myself and made a deal with surina to never again miss their concert, and to always splurge on their tics cos its so worth it. but then again, $168 x 6, i think i spent more than a thousand on them alr plus cds n dvds etc. wow! price to pay for a fan! but its all WORTH it.
