May Day's here!
Saturday, March 17, 2007
Yesterday, went for Mayday's autograph session cum mini concert at IMM. At first, didn't feel like going, cause nobody was willing to go with me. :( Haiz why ain't there any May Day fans in my social circle? But in the end I still went, alone, and I am really glad I did, because I had such a fabulous time yesterday, with fellow May Day fans from the forum and people who queued up near us. (:
So let's start from the beginning. Rushed off to IMM at around 11+, and reached there at 12+. The shuttle bus was really slow to come! Saw a few May Day fans around, (because hello, they were carrying the U weekly with Mayday in the cover!) but didn't say hi haha. So when I reached IMM, went straight to the sistic counter in level 2 to find Bernice, this gal from the forum I've never met before. (: She was queuing up in front of the counter, with another person from the forum, whom I believe is called Shihui. She's Sec4 too! Anyway, the queue wasn't exactly THAT long, but it was slow like hell. According to Shihui and Bernice, they have queued for 3 hrs or so le, and the queue didn't really move much. The security guard was kind of fierce? He kept chasing me away from the queue, 'cos I think he thought I was trying to cut queue. But I still managed to get my way haha. Passed my money to Bernice they all. Then after that, I smiled at this woman standing at the side near Macs with me, and she smiled at me too. So she asked me whether I'm from the forum. And that's how we started talking to each other lol. We talked mostly May Day stuffs haha. Then after that, Bernice came out of the queue to rest a bit, so we chatted for another half an hour or so. By that time, Shihui finally managed to reach the first row of the queue. So we joined her, and talked some more. There were two people from China behind us in the queue, one just back from work. So I chatted with the two. We just talked about life in China and S'pore. (: Me friendly person! Haha j/k. There was another lady behind those two, and we talked some more. -.- So basically we passed time talking. The queue was really long, if you count in the time taken for them to process one ticket. Besides the four rows near the counter, the security had been ushering people to the corridor next to Macs to queue up, and it's only when some people finished buying tickets, that some of those queuing next to Macs could join in the main queue. 0.o As for Sistic.. They were really really slow can, and some people were buying ticktes in bulks. Of course people complained larh. So this lady appeared from nowhere, and explained to us that sistic runs in one single system, and that all the online booking and the bookings from the other sistic outlets run in that single system, and that explains why it's so slow. She also asked us to go upstairs once we finished collecting our tickets so that we could catch the concert. She seemed quite sure of things, so I thought maybe she's in charge of the event or sth, and me, being me, asked her why she's here. Haha I know it's pretty dots but I was really curious mah. So she said she was not going for the May Day event, and she was just there to 'kay poh'. 0.o Such a mysterious figure.
So finally, at around 3+? We finally got our tickets! Super happy!!! It's pretty good seats, sixth row I think. The two people behind us in the queue got 150 bucks tick. :( 羡慕ing. I'll get the most ex ticket to a May Day concert once I'm out of school! :( Beahhhs. So Bernice, Shihui and I got our Macs meal and proceed upstairs, where the real queuing began. I got my Gai Ban cd (It's so pretty!! Love the flying car.) and we went through this heavily guarded opening that's essentially a carpeted space cordened off from the rest of the shopping area. When I say guarded, it's really physically blocked by two security guards. And whee hoo, I met the two dear security guards from the sistic downstairs. (: Oh dear. You'll have to be stamped [like a pig] before you can get into the area, but even before that, have to flash the GaiBan or the ticket to them before they gave you the nod. Wows. So we got our seat, sat properly in one straight line in our row (ours was the forth), because you'll get scolded if you don't. -rolls eyes- It was then I started talking to this uni student beside me, cos both of us were mugging lol. The only two that could be seen K-ing. The rest were playing uno [but be careful as you'll get a scolding cos you're not sitting in line] or in Shihui's case, stoning. (: After that, they further annoyed me (okay larh, just made me felt more like a chicken in a coop) by placing barricades between rows. Now, we'll have to stare at people next to our row through holes. Haha so I was complaining to Shihui they all and telling them my analogy. Chickens in a coop. After almost freezing in our lovely neat rows, they told us to stand up in our rows and proceed to the garden plaza. So we did, in our lines, as if we were primary school kids on excursion.
So we got to garden plaza! We settled down and again, interacted with people around us. (: There was a quite on fan beside me with her friends! [On as in going to HK for a May Day concert] One of them kept smiling and looking at me lol! Again, as May Day fans, we all have a common topic - May Day! So we talked and talked. Those people behind us, they are Sec4s too! Table tennis players. One is so so tall 0.o Another is actually more of a Fahrenheit fan than May Day fan. We talked about school stuffs ah, and other random things. The Fahrenheit fan shared with us her experience with Fahrenheit. She went for the K Box union thing. [Jealous, Suchin and gang?] Then this guy called Shi Jie (I think), who's the technician of May Day, was testing the mikes and the sound systems, by playing the guitars of Ashin, Monster, Masa and Stone and singing their songs. I think Ashin's guitar rocks! It's black!! Really pretty. [But in the end he didn't even use it during the concert. Such a disappointment! He looks good playing a guitar.] After they settled the sounds system, they started playing songs from May Day's Born To Love album over and over again. So as enthu May Day fans, we sang along!
Finally, people started standing up cause May Day was late and they were feeling quite restless I suppose? So the security asked us to move in front and I ended up in the second barricade near the side, still with the people queuing up near us. We waited and waited, we sang and sang. Feeling really high! FINALLY, the emcee announced that May Day has arrived at IMM. After waiting for another 15 mins or so, people at the other end started screaming and cheering, so everyone starting screaming and cheering. -.- Cameras started sticking out from the crowd and then! Monster, Stone, Masa and Guan You came up on stage! Everyone cheered. But people suddenly realized there was another member of the band missing, so they went like 'Where's Ashin?' So Ashin appeared, in a white long sleeved shirt plus a tie, and everyone went crazy! They didn't talk at all, but went straight to their first song - Wei Ai Er Sheng. Woah the atmosphere was insane. People moved to the music [with their hands or lightsticks, duh.] and jumped around! Haha I think we were quite enthu larh. We sang along [with May Day and everyone else] and cheered at the appropriate time [I hope]. Then after that Ashin apologized to us for being late, and this is how it went:
阿信：这次迟到了，让你们等了这么久，对不起。要不要紧？
US：〖大多数人】不要紧..
阿信：要不要惩罚？
US： 〖有些】要！〖其他】不要！
阿信： 刚才的JUMP离开地球表面演唱会的记者招待会，我们也迟到了50分钟。－笑－ 所以，我们向那些记者承诺在今晚的演唱会多加50分钟！但是，既然你们都说不要紧，那就算了！
US： －screams- 要惩罚！
阿信： 什么？
US： 惩罚！惩罚！惩罚！
阿信： 真的？
US: 对！
阿信： 惩罚就惩罚。
US: -screams of joy-
Then later..
阿信： 五月天不经常改版，但这次，为了配合2007年新加坡JUMP离开地球表面演唱会，推出了这个收藏版 （...) 在我们离开地球表面之前，五月天就在新加坡永远消失了！
US： 不要！
阿信： 喜欢不喜欢？
US： 不喜欢！
阿信： 要不要？
US： 不要...
阿信： 我也不想啊，因为我们喜欢你们啊.. (something along those lines, can't remember the exact words.)
Besides that, everyone was dripping with sweat, from both the heat and the excitement (like us jumping around). I guess the five of them on the stage were feeling hot too! So after a few songs, we realized that Masha's whole shirt was drenched in sweat and practically see through. So we were like '玛莎好性感！' Then Ashin was like 'Huh? 这里有没有人能讲国语？' Lol 'cos he couldn't understand what we were shouting, so he jokingly asked if anybody spoke Chinese [instead of the alienish gibish we were saying]. So some fans in front said '玛莎露点了！' So 阿信 was like '玛莎露点？' -Looks at Masha for a moment- '其实露两点还可以啊，要看他露三点。' So Masha pretend to take off his pants, but of course he didn't larh. So he said, '要看今晚跟我一起回房啊！'
While 阿信 was talking, 怪兽 and 玛莎 were standing together. So 阿信 was like 'huh?' and then realized that there was a fan there, so he joined them. (:
阿信 was damn sarcastic at one point in time, when he was talking about the lucky draw and the response was quite weak, so he said, '你们可以再冷漠一点，没问题..' Then of course, we screamed and yelled to prove him wrong. Haha we're like kids ah, eager to please.
Then 冠佑 flapped his arms around when he was asked what the next song was. 阿信thought it was funny, so he asked the question again, so the sporting 冠佑 repeated his actions. It's quite cute larh. I think it's in one of the videos below.
One of the funniest things that happened last night was 阿信 forgetting the lyrics of the song 忘词. I mean, it's ironic that he forgot the lyrics of the song that's called 'forgetting lyrics'? Or maybe he was just putting up an act. No idea. But it was funny! 'Cos we were like '忘词！' Then I read from the forum that people are waiting for him to write a song called '破音' or '走音'。LOL! In fact, he did 走音 while singing 倔强！Haha actually he sang wrongly quite a couple of times, and he did realize, 'cos he smiled his trademark smile..
Then came the autograph session. I should say, I was pretty excited. So when I went up, I said '加油喔！' or '六月二号见！' to all of them. Guan You shook my hand rather weakly and he didn't smile so I was quite sad/scared. Monster had a really firm grip! He just squeezed my hand and smiled at me, looking into my eyes for like 2 secs or so. For Masha, when I said '六月二号见！', he was like '好喔!' and I kind of echoed him and said '喔！' and he laughed at me. (: He's so friendly. When I reached Ashin, he had the auto pilot/stoned look, so when I said '六月二号见！', he LOOKED UP AT ME WITH HIS SUPER SINCERE EYES and said '嗯？' So I repeated myself. And he was like '哦..' Woah I was so freaked out/sad okay! I was really surprised I managed to keep my cool and not lost my head talking to 阿信。But once I was off the stage I saw Bernice and I was like 'OMG I shook hands with 阿信!' I think I was quite loud lah, but I hope he didn't hear me. 0.o Anyway, some of them shook my left hand (I think the first few), some shook my right. But I know 阿信 shook my left I think. Aiya don't know larh, everything happened so fast, I can't really recall much from yesterday, except that I really enjoyed myself and May Day rocked big time! I was really really high even till I reached home, which was quite early actually, around 10+. Didn't stay till the end, but I heard they signed till 11+! They even signed the original version. Sigh. If only I stayed on..
All in all.. 阿信 looked dreamy.. Half stoning throughout the whole auto session! But he looks really tall in real life, and from up close, his face is like 毫无瑕疵，very clean and smooth. No wonder he's the 代言 of perfumes and lipsticks. Haha. Stone and Guan You were practically stoning the whole way through larh! Only Monster and Masha seemed as if they were awake. :( Poor things. They must be tired.
Let the songs speak for themselves! But I have to add, they were super funny larh! Especially Ashin.
为爱而生 The first song they sang.
天使 Ashin and Guan You are super funny! Feel the atmosphere! Everyone was waving their arms! Look at Masa's semi-transclucent shirt!!最重要的小事1最重要的小事2我又出恋了！ Highness.. Everyone was
jumping to the chorus.. Love it when Ashin did this pointing action.. And his
mike action..
香水！ 阿信
Rapping. LOL. And watch him
jump!!恋爱ING! Ashin and Monster doing the L-O-V-E! High到不能再High了！[I was in front of the person filming this clip..] Ashin jumping again! L-O-V-E.. L-O-V-E!!!忘词 阿信 really forgot the lyrics..倔强 The last song they sang. Note: Ashin's
破音After yesterday, I love May Day even more than before! If that's even possible in the first place. -.- I thought it was impossible, and yesterday changed that.
(: Thanks to all the May Day fans I met yesterday for being so friendly and thus giving me such a wonderful experience! And the security guards.. Even though I was chased off repeatedly by you guys, I know what you all have done is necessary and really, it showed. We were quite orderly.. I think. Yayy May Day rocks! Catch them on TV tomorrow when they perform again for Ren Ci Charity. (:
