I Was The First To Be Amped With Lady GAGA!!!
Tuesday, June 16, 2009
I know it's been 2 days late, so here is my update.
GUESS WHAT??? I watched LADY GAGA live in SINGAPORE!!! yey... my first ever concert and I was watching Lady Gaga swinging her disco stick!!! It was the coolest ever experience and that would have to be one of the most memorable moments of 2009.
So here is how the day go...
It was like about 3.50 and i received an SMS from JJ. I was wearing my clothes and ready to leave the house. And my playlist was playing Poker Face, so I decided to wait until the song is finished before stepping out of the house. And by then it was like 3.55. Then i made my way to the bus stop, and the bus was already waiting there. I tried running after it, but i was a little too late. I was cussing at the bus while making a long walk to the circus and took 315. On the bus, I texted JJ about the whole thing (except the Poker Face part). And I arrived at 2.15 on time at the interchange and i thought that i could make a run to the MRT station. I entered from the nearest entrance and to my horror... it was a long way walk to the NEL. I was like "seriously..." thank goodness there is a travellator and i zoomed to the other end like i was flash... weird expression, I know, mark me for that...
Then i thought that JJ is already at the platform and at that moment the train arrived. I was like trying to make the right decision whether to enter the train or search through the platform. So being the wrong choice person, I decided to wait at the platform... ARGH!!! could have made it onto the train.... So in the end met him there and we chatted for a while about some people who were on the list of GAGA invites. Then the train came, and we boarded (DUH!). Then talked more nonsense and shenanegans... Then we alighted at Clarke Quay, and tried to find that damn dome that doesnt look like a dome but 3 humps with a long bar behind. We walked and walked and saw cool boards that says "Amped with LADY GAGA: Queue here" or some sort like that. However, the line has not even began. So we decide to go the never-known-where-it-was LIANG COURT, which is like this super japanese shopping mall with really aromatic teriyaki meals. We were like holding back our taste buds because the food is really expensive... so we decided to quench our hunger and thirst with a bottle of SPRITE and 7UP(each).
Then we were like talknig about soft drinks giving us false satisfaction because it is like filling our stomach with carbon dioxide and after we burp, the hunger is back. So all the while i was trying to keep my burps, because seriously i was feeling hungry and i don't want to move away from the queue(oh the GAGA queue has started). Of course during the course of jumping for joy for GAGA, the burps started to come.
Now in the line, we met some familiar faces. We met ZHSS gang (the girl group) and they were like painting lightnings on their faces. And they were mean because they didnt let us into their queue. SO, we went all the way to the end of the line and started cussing(figuratively). okay we waited like for 2 hours or so until we were let into the "dome". During that time, we were like classifying people. The Underdressed, overdressed and the eccentric. Seriously la. There are people there who like came to watch Lady gaga in like a tshirt and jeans, some wearing shiny stuff and everything, and others like trying to dress to impress. Then we saw YOUNG n DAN came. (btw, in person they are not funny at all) Then razortv came along and interviewed people who were in the line. And they were like interviewing the person right in front of us and we wer caught in the camera. However when you check the video on razortv, we aren't in it because while they were interviewing, we were like talking about this funny commercial on tv about this guy trying to advertise while a reporter was making a report. so funny la, and we giggled all along. Haha, then we were like using our mind power trying to make the razortv people to go the ZHSS girls and interview them, and they were like running away... haha...
Then we were let into the "dome" and they were plucking things off from this card thingy which is like a lucky draw thing, which after the showcase we realised it was for a meet and greet session for lady gaga, which we didnt win, which one aunty, one geeky dude, one blur girl who appeared from nowhere, and 2 brothers won. While we walk into the dome, i was like taken aback by a guy carrying a camera running towards me. Then we laughed at the whole incident. In the dome it was like an exhibition thingy and we met the ZHSS girls, and one of them held my hand tightly and JJ was like being a loner... (HAHA) then the funny and awesome thing is that the girl group was separated and the girl holding onto my hands was left behind... and she was like begging the security to let her in. However, it was "nice" (sort of) of the security for not letting her, and then they led us to the other corner of the field which was like completely empty and we made a run for the corner closest to the stage!!! YEY!!! We were like so excited because we get to see LADY GAGA up close (like for real)!!!
it was pretty bittersweet for the girl, but mostly sweet because she is with us... HAhA... and then it was like 1 hour plus of head banging and ear explosive music by the DJs. Well, i wouldnt say that it is totally good, because there were some bad tunes that they played and for some moments i wanted to shout "CHANGE TO THE NEXT TRACK!!!" But i was nice... Then DAN n YOUNG came on stage and did some unhilarious and unexciting introduction to the whole event. I thought the whole time that RADIo DJs will be as good as hosts as they were on air. AND THAT PROVED IT TOTALLY WRONG!!! then more tunes by the featured DJ Paul T which i mistook for paul twohill. haha... And then, moment has arrived...
THE SCREEN CAME DOWN AND LADY GAGA'S INTRODUCTION VIDEO PLAYED. EVERYONE JUMPED AND SCREAMED EVERYTIME LADY GAGA OPENED HER MOUTH ON THE VIDEO, AND THE COUNTDOWN STARTED. 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3
