[this is a review written by a friend of mine since she's lucky enough to attend the concert. hopefully i will be able to do the same in the near future.. ^__^
=== thanx Pin-Jin for allowing me to post this here=== ]



SOUL brilliance

[Time: 3:05 p.m.]

[Music: 'Pu Tong Peng You' - David Tao]


I've renewed feelings in listening to David Tao's records. I'm talking post-concert, of course. I'm sure most, if not all of the other 8,999 members of the audience that night are now more emotionally attached towards David's songs - such is the result of 'Soul Power' indeed.

He was awesome singing live even though he was feeling under the weather and not having much of a voice earlier in the day on Sunday. The best concert I've attended ever, where everything was live, right up to his proteges Tension's guest performance. They could easily put other boy groups to shame with their mesmerizing blended harmonies and didn't go off key even though they were dancing quickly to music while singing - note: not miming!.

I was a little disappointed that David didn't sing 'Angel' though, which was to me, one of his most moving songs. But everything else in the 2.5h of a blast of a concert made up for that, or reduced it to merely a teeny weeny bit of minute disappointment.

The show kicked off with an instrumental overture that launched into several of his earlier hits, like '10:30 De Fei Ji' ('The Flight At 10:30') and 'Liu Sha'. Having been warned by one of his band members about the conservative Singapore audience, David was all the more enthusiastic about making sure that the audience participated wholeheartedly in his performance.

Being loud and hyper by nature, I was dying to stand up, even during his slow songs, if not for the stupid bitch of the security officer of my section who told me to sit down in case the audience behind me couldn't see. Did she fail to see that the audience were sloped upwards so if EVERYONE stood up (which should be the way anyway, according to how David wanted it), nobody would even end up being obstructed? Pah!


LUCKILY there came a point in time not too late in when David did a medley of English classics including Wild Cherry's 'Play That Funky Music' and Stevie Wonder's 'Superstition' that he told everyone to dance along, leaving the security people defeated.

And then Tension came on to do acapella versions of a Chinese classic with David Tao and together, their vocals were touching to the core and I could feel my heart wavering away. After which David left Tension to perform the main songs of their 2 albums released so far - 'Gotta Be Your Man' and 'I'll Be With You'.


That was all the crowd saw (and heard) of Tension that night, but I believe they left a great impression on everyone, including members of the audience who were less familiar with them. Why do I say that? Coz when David reemerged an outfit change, he even praised them for their immense strength in acapella singing. Being their mentor/producer, he sure must be brimming with pride!


'Hei Se Liu Ding' ('Black Tangerine'), arguably David Tao's heaviest track, turned out to be a crowd fave and even though I wasn't a big fan of it coz I've always found it quite weird (and I'm not going juz by the track title alone), I unconsciously found myself trashing along with juz about everyone as well. That signalled the start of a "rockier" segment, which was followed up with 'Wang Ba Dan' ('Bastard'). My loudest cheers were reserved for 'Xiao Zhen Gu Niang' ('Small Town Girl' - my fave!), however. :D


Following that was David's unplugged session, where he honestly delivered his best performance in 'Ji Mo De Ji Jie' ('Lonely Season'), alongside local violinist Joanne, whose wail of violin made the song even more emotional. Also, little pieces of paper were continually floating down from the ceiling during the song to enhance the mood of feeling lonely during the cold and harsh winter climate.


I dunno why but this song suddenly brought back fond memories of that day in July when I'd juz discovered David Tao's music and so very fortunately gotten a chance to serve him when he came to Singapore on a secret visit and dined in the restaurant where I work in. I could only smile wistfully. :)


Chaos nearly set in when David sang 'Tian Tian' ('Everyday') and asked playfully if he could go down the stage. Of course he did, and I could only look on in envy as he went round the front row shaking hands with those lucky peeps who were frantically surging forward to get as up close to him as possible. Cameras flashed nonstop as photographers clicked away to capture as many images as they could of this legend of a mortal being treated at idol status.


A fervent ambassador of spreading love and peace around the world in recent times of crisis, David advised young men to gather the courage and tell a girl whom they like about their feelings. "Being lonely is one thing, but what's worse is being rejected after confessing to a girl. I've tried it before...it's ok to be rejected...and I advise all the guys here that you must tell her how you feel, or, you could sing 'Pu Tong Peng You' for her," he said in Mandarin, launching into juz that song, whose title translates to mean 'Regular Friend'. It's about a guy gathering all the courage to tell the girl how he feels, but the girl still feels nothing more than juz a friend for him.


David didn't show off his musical prowess by juz performing his beautifully written and produced songs, singing well and playing the guitar. He went on to tinkle the ivories while singing along to old Chinese ballad 'Yue Liang Dai Biao Wo De Xin' ('The Moon Represents My Heart'), putting couples in the audience in a lovey dovey mood. For the rest of us single females, our heart went out to him, I guess. Haha. So what if he's almost double my age? LOL.


Spouting more words of advice, David encouraged us to work towards the betterment of ourselves even if we have to grapple with finding ourselves from time to time. He wished us all the best in that, which led on to 'Zhao Zhi Ji' ('Finding Myself').


That said, I felt nothing but utmost respect for him in successfully spreading his messages through his music and being one of the finest examples of having his music transcend boundaries. Groups of fans from Malaysia, Hong Kong, Taiwan, China, Japan, Australia and even the UK, had flown here specially to watch him perform. This is a feat coming from a singer/songwriter/producer who has released only Mandarin albums, which isn't even considered THE international language of the world. I realized there and then, that he is one exceptional songwriter who has written powerful music and lyrics that could relate to juz about any emotion or life experience anyone has experienced.


Therefore, it goes without saying that all of us were reluctant for him to leave when he hadn't sang 'Ai Hen Jian Dan' ('Simple Love'). A racuous call for an encore that involved wild light stick waving and even feet stamping brought him back, where he sang juz that, with an interlude in between to 'Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire', as a tie-in to the Christmas season. How lovely! :)


Being split half-half in between getting really into the stunning melody and not wanting the concert to end, I found my eyes getting wet and David coincidentally chose that moment to wave to the people in my section, leading me to break into a grin as I waved back and wiped off the tears that were about to fall. The most breathtaking piece of music it was then, to end the show, as he thanked everyone who'd helped him to get to where he is today.


As he said, "See you next year!" before disappearing for the night, everyone applauded with gusto, in appreciation of the most spectacular show being put up in ages and for the anticipation of another date with David Tao and his music...soon.

Airing of boyband Energy concert in Jakarta by antepe baka.

Didn't realize until a couple of hours ago that one month ago today, me and the ibu-ibu groupies tercinta was screaming, crying, waving, jumping around, and just truly enjoying ourself at the Energy concert, watching every move that Energy KunDa, Energy Shu Wei, Energy Ahdi and Energy Niu Nai made. And I'm happy to report that to this day, we still haven't gotten over the aftermath effect!! Not sure if its a bad thing or not bad, but if its possible, we've got more addicted to Energy. We counldn't get enough with anything related to Energy, from the latest news, pics, CDs, VCDs, to books that we don't even understand *_^ Yes, we love that boyband from Taiwan. Yes, we love Energy. Yes, we love Ahdi, Kunda, Shu Wei and Niu Nai. Are we crazy??? not according to us... ^_^

So after the Energy guys went back to Taiwan, we got hold of the tv schedule for antepe to air their concert. It will be devided into 2 parts because the original concert did last for a couple of hours, if not more. We were very excited, thinking that if the tv station going to air it in two parts then most of the going on in that concert will be air too. Ohh happy thoughs... and so very innocent they were too. Little that we know that antepe gonna put in some interviews and clips from Energy's arrival, Press Con, Meet & Greet, fans quequing etc etc etc. Which is all good except when we got to see the actual concert that they aired......

A very Energy fangirl mode: most definitely ON!!! ANTV... beware. Non Energy' fans readers... hold your rude comments ^_^

I'm a bit lazy so i'm just gonna do it in a list type.

Okay, first of all.. do these people ever "do their homework" before they go out and do their job? at all?? they should've check who the people they're going to interview about, or concert their going to shoot. what kind of group are they? what type of music are they grouped into? Whoooiiii!!! pengumuman!! Energy itu bukan band dangdut!! Ever since that idiotic incident with the host of Campur Camput Live [where they admitted that they don't know who Energy is and they pretty much don't care, and so as a host, they look really dumb and unprofessional, you two should be ashamed of yourself!] .....I've got no respect for these people anymore. Same things with the people who shoot and recorded and EDITED the Energy concert.

ANTV guilty list:
-camera angle: Energy is NOT Boyz II Men kind of group/band, so they're not going to just sit there and sang. Their power is on their well choreograph dance, and their dance is NOT a very boyband type of dance. Their dance routine is a very active one, so what's with shooting the concert from behind or so far away or too darn close when they're in their dynamic group dance??? And then most of the time shoot someone else when another person was singing or dancing solo. For example: they shoot KunDa who was only smiling while at the same time Shu Wei was singing solo, or they shoot Shu Wei waving to the fans while at the same Niu Nai was dancing solo!!

-lighting: as i said before, Energy is not a dangdut group... so they don't really need those limited spotlight, or colourful but limited light spotlights, or TOO BRIGHT lights. We need to see them perform! There were times when we can't even see where KunDa, Ahdi, Shu Wei and Niu Nai were, and they were doing the dynamic group dance routine! Let me say it again: we need to be able to see ENERGY perform as a group...!

-editing: [oh man, this part i really really said "baka!" to the people who's editing this Energy concert!]
You should at least ask someone who knows [fans, A+, UMI] about the bestest moments of Energy live performance. Each time an entertainer perform, there must be something different from one night/place to the other. Some thing with this Energy concert. They should've known which part to edited out, and which part a keeper!

Parts that they shouldn't have edited:
*AhDi' overwhelmed and cried, because then it showed the support of the indonesian gave to him. It's one of the moment where their indonesian fans felt really touched!
*when Energy sang "selamat ulang tahun". Man! that was a very very very precious and rare moment. They only sang that in this Energy concert in Jakarta, ANTV should've kept it for it really showed where Energy were!
*also the part where they spoke individually... got that lazt butt Novi to translate and then subtitle it, don't be so cheap man! this is another part that really important to people who were there and to the viewers who's watching at home. so they actually know who's concert it was.
*Niu Nai's head spin moment and TBD dance routine. what the heck is antv problems?? they don't show a group of guys breakdancing?? *pletak antv*

Parts that they should have edited:
*Novi being cute that does NOT impress us or has it any use what so ever!! We could've used that few minutes time for better, more exclusive moments with the Energy guys or the concert itself. And she's not even funny! I don't like the way she presented herself or the way she conduct the interview. Bring that Rani woman anytime.
*too many and too long shoot of the live band and the DJ!. What the heck was that for anyway? We don't mind them being shown, just don't show the band members or the DJs when you're supposed to shoot Energy doing the important dance routine!!! and why so many unimportant and unimpressive scenes anyway???
*and what's with the two small screens???? while most of the time they showed the same scenes from the same angle?? some were better, coz in one screen it showed a close up of either Shu Wei, AhDi, KunDa, or Niu Nai and the other screen showed the whole stage, but then again... why must one screen is a good clear picture and the other one a blurry one?? being artistic are we?? well, it sucks!


"marah-marah sama antv mode: off"
phewwww

on a happier & still fangirl mode.....
here's some "notes" for the fans and the ibu-ibu groupies tercinta when you see the concert again:
-Wu Xie Ke Ji:
Niu Nai masih penuh senyum dan joget patpat nya masih in full force of course. perhatiin ndak kalo pas endingnya nggak ada itu kata-kata: 'we're still alive' he he he the silly thing yang gue perhatiin. cuman jadi agak-agak parno aja.. maklum with the whole thing that went on before they even began the tour.. bad sign dikit langsung curigation! *_^
-Tui Mo Lu:
banyak sights of Shu Wei sih... so para shu wei furen pasti puas hati banget.
-Get Away:
perhatiin moment Niu Nai & Shu Wei joget patpat in the beginning, waktu si KunDa nge-rap solo... pokoke dikostum silver ini Niu Nai's ass is a must see! Oh ya KunDa made a little mistake waktu dance, lupa kayaknya ^_^
-Got to be real:
Ahdi joget patpat is a must see, kayak yang lagi girang banget ini anak. And Niu Nai dance solo: kejauhan itu disorotnya!!!!!
-One time: [or also known as the moment bu Jay started to scream very very loud "AhDi wo ai ni..!!!" when she's not supposed to. I guess a very up close AhDi was too good to be miss ^_^]
the interaction between Niu Nai and KunDa was very cute. i still have no idea kenapa si AhDi bisa kepleset dan jatuh waktu dia mau pegang KunDa... ke sandung setankah?? Dance mereka disini sebenarnya bukanlah tipe dance yang lengket ama image "Energy" but it was very cute... apalagi si KunDa dan senyum manisnya ^_^ Tapi pas abis reff pertama, see if you can spot Niu Nai diantara kaki-kai TBC... his dance move was cute.
-Together
the Energy guys microphone were totally lost... we can barely hear their voices while the DJ's mic were too loud!! [note to Energy: find yourself a real background vocals/singers.. pleaseeee. A DJ can not replace a real singer, even for a background vocals!] and noticed KunDa yang mulai kecapean.. he he he he ganbatte ne kunda-chan!
-More ThanWords
must pay attention to AhDi' and KunDa's expression
-Mou Nian Mou Yue Mou Yi Tian
Niu Nai started to look a bit off. malah ada part yang dia mulai ucek-ucek mata... nangiskah?? pokoknya started from here senyumnya udah mulai berkurang, dimana Shu Wei masih tetap dengan semangat 2003 nya tetap dadah-dadahan ama fans dan tereak-tereak ngasi semangat untuk ribut ^_^
-Yi Guang Nian
mic off again... although later on got better. Niu Nai still no happy smile and Energy must really really hired a better background vocal!

[part 2]
-Gei Ni De Ge
here's our big question.... what the heck happened that the performance was cut off in the middle of the song???
-Zhi You Wo
Niu Nai mulai senyum lagi dan para Ahdi furen... banyak sibakan kemeja pinku tuh!! *_^
-Ti Er Ce Ai Siang Ni
this is where the 'crying scene' was cut off, but it was sweet of Niu Nai yang pas masuk ke stage lagi langsung meluk pundaknya AhDi ngasi semangat... benar-benar ge ge yang baik yah.. ^_^
-Ramen Song
Wilber's mic was really really terrible.. you can barely hear him rap! but this is the song where AhDi fans shouldn't blink even for a second... so many sibakan baju pinku dan joget patpat!
-Fang Shou
another moment of baka camera angle in the beginning. good choreograph dance though, dimana ahdi bisa kembali join Shu Wei, Niu Nai dan KunDa sehabis mereka dance solo tanpa ngeliatin kalo Ahdi ndak ikutan. And Niu Nai's solo wasn't cut.
-She Me Tai Du
the scene NOT to miss: close up of Niu Nai after his solo dance... bunny teeth anyone?? ^_^
-Come On
Very cute little add-on act by Niu Nai waktu mereka dance berjejer. Kan harusnya untuk dance berlima tapi jadi berempat,so pas mereka berempat..sisa music beatnya masih ada.. and what did Niu Nai do? Liat aja sendiri.. harus agak2 diperhatiin karena lampu panggungnya agak gelap dan Niu Nai paling belakang. Its the dance at the very beginning. ^_^
KunDa was sporting one of his "if looks could kill" lagi... *pingsan*
-Yong Yuan Bu Zhou Zai Jian
don't know whose idea to wear those t'shirt but.. it was a very good move!
don't miss the moments where: shu wei tiba-tiba pegang tangan ahdi dan wave from side to side.., trus one of my favourite moments: shu wei piggy ride ama Niu Nai dan toss mereka after that ^_^ bikin gemes, apalagi ekspresi isengnya si Shu Wei. Hmmm, ada yang tahu ndak si Niu Nai dan KunDa ngomong apa?
For kunda fans: perhatiin pas dia abis nyanyi "bu shou zai jian" yang kedua sebelum lagu habis/sebelum dia balik badan & join the group.... a very priceless smile of KunDa!!
oh iya.. ini gue udah cek dan ricek dan ricek dan ricek, walaupun gue nggak bisa 1001% positif... but either they wore a very thin sole shoes... the Energy guys were all barefeet!!!! sampe pertunjukkan berakhir!
-Fen Siang
a nice choice of song to end a very good and wonderful show, and they sang it well.
cute moments: waktu shu wei sibuk nyari-nyari kertas contekan nama-nama sponsor di kantong celananya [btw, mereka pake celana yang sama dengan outfit yang t-shirt tanpa lengan itu... different t'shirt and no shoes of course] dan kejadian apa yang bisa bikin baju KunDa robek sampe ngelewatin perut itu masih menjadi misteri.....

by the end of the show... gue rasa bahasa indonesia mereka udah bagus lho... he he he
celetukkan selama concert, waktu nyanyi selamat ulang tahun.. dan pas penutupan:
KunDa: terima kasih!
Niu Nai:aku cinta kamu!
Shu Wei: terima kasih semua!

A very Energy fangirl mode: OFF!!!

Turn Left Turn Right

Setelah nunggu berbulan-bulan, today I finally watched "Turn Left Turn Right". I might be less objective in watching this movie, coz the main reason its on my desperately waiting list of movie to watch, tidak lain tidak bukan karena faktor seorang drool-worthy Takeshi Kaneshiro.... he he he so, bare with me ^_^

Nonton film ini bikin gue gemessssssssssss banget. Karena ke simple an otak mereka, karena their silly chances, dan tetep... selalu aja ada orang-orang yang 'kurang baik' disekitar tokoh utama. Memang sih ini film tentang si Takeshi dan Gigi yang selalu at the same time, at the same place, doing the same thing, tapi dua-duanya nggak pernah sadar kalo mereka itu "that close" from one another, padahal mereka udah saling pontang panting nyari keberadaan the other person. Tapi karena kita sebagai orang ketiga yang bisa ngeliat mereka berdua, efek nya jadi kesel karena mereka ndak ketemu-ketemu.

Gue sampe mikir... apa iya kejadian di dunia nyata kita begini juga kali yah.Y'know.. art immitates life kinda thing. That there's a person that we like and he/she knew of our existance in this earth, but we would never know how that person really feel karena sebagai mana kerasnya kita udah berusaha tapi kita tetap nggak bakalan tahu because of so many reasons that unknowingly to us, prevent us to know so. Sampeee akhir film gue gemesss banget..... bagaimana si Gigi dan Takeshi ini selalu selisih berada di tempat yang sama sepersekian detik, kadang mereka malah berada at the same place and at the same time, cuman karena faktor ketutupan or something else, mereka saling nggak sadar!! Antara kasian, gemes dan seems so ironic. Dan kalau dibalik ke dunia nyata dan terjadi pada orang yang kita tahu, or worst.. to ourself... aduhhh kejam sekali kenyataan itu...!! I mean, siapa sih yang nggak pengen ended up alone, and not just alone but miserably alone..?? Nobody.

Endingnya menurut gue kok yah agak 'maksa' atau itu untuk menunjukkan kekuatan YME..?.. atau mungkin kayak simbol kalau akhir dari 'Eye of God' which is a term untuk menyebutkan sudut pandang si pencerita... [he he he teori dari kelas Drama II gue ^_^ ] yaitu ntabene kita sebagai penonton, sudah berakhir?? Karena walaupun ending nya a happy one, you don't really see it, you only see their umbrellas, yang menyimbulkan kalau pada akhirnya mereka udah together in one same place.

Overall its a very sweet story and interesting movie [untuk tehnik, location, penggunaan simbol etc.] I watched it once a while ago dan baru bikin review nya sekarang, jadi details cerita gue lupa ^_^ but, buat penggemar Takeshi Kaneshiro.. candy eyes: of course. cool factor: hmm.. not so much [karena kareakternya emang bukan a cool guy geeto] thumbs up: for his dedication on actually learn how to play at least the basic violin for this movie. Can't say much on Gigi except she's as sweet as ever, dan kemahiran bahasa asingnya [she plays a translator] bolehlah bikin orang percaya kalo dia emang bisa.

Walaupun disini Takeshi ngomong pake bahasa mandarin, this movie you should put into you're watching list. [tapi saking kebiasaannya denger dia ngomong in japanese... bisa nggak yah dub japanese aja he he he he]
buat penggemar film-film asia..apalagi fans Aniki, jangan lupa di tonton yah.

Four Days of ENERGY
[originally posted at MPA on Mon Sep 29, 06:47:14 PM]

[note; this entry gonna be in english so i don't have to do double work to translate it for the non indonesian readers.... ^_^]


It's almost midnight now, Sunday 28th September.. I'm not as tired and "blank" as before when I just arrived back from the hotel, even though if I lay down again and put my head on my pillow I would've gone back to sleep in an instant!! These past few days I've been experiencing so many things; craziness, panic, worries, crying time, laughing time, 4 hours of sleep each days, irregular time of eating [that is when I did get to eat.. ^_^], and some tears moments. I don't know where to start and how should I write all this 4 days experience into words but....
Welp, here goes...

Day 1, 25th September 2003

I have no plan for covering the Energy visit like last time, because ADFC or other FC wasn't included in any of the activities officially. So all I have for sure was a concert ticket which was provided by nere-chan, my partner in concert-craze. The funny thing was I really didn't expect much for Energy visit this time around, even getting myself a ticket was out of my expectation! So the only thing that I got planned for that day was going to Kuuga to get the concert tickets for my FC members and then accompanying mrs. chou to get her Laptop in MangDu. I didn't wanna go to the airport coz I know its gonna be so much crazier than the last time, but I was planning to go to the hotel later on coz I'm meeting Weinie later on [her flower shop was in charge for the flowers in some of the Energy's official events], I was like, "what the heck, if I can't get to the PresCon then let me just get behind the scene kinda thing".

It was already pass 2.30 pm when I got to the hotel and met Wennie right away who was sitting at the lobby. Some 40-50 fans already scattered all over the Sari Pan Pacific Hotel lobby and I was like.. 'oh no...' Maybe its my age or something but I'm just so not liking these constantly screaming groupies. As I was waiting for the Energy's arrival and totoro-chan arrival from the airport also, I met Della, my high school classmate who's now working for the local chinese newspaper, and also Vicky and her gank. Nothing really exciting happened coz turned out Energy already arrived and entered via the back door [of course *_^] So when toro-chan, Dabsky and nenek finally joined us, we went up to check out Vicky's room at the 17th floor [Energy and crew stayed at the 16th floor!!] We were chit chatting until we forgot the time, when I SMS-ed Kuuga he said that the PresCon was about to begin, and so we decided to check it out. When we got to the 4th floor, the ballroom's door was already closed and some groupies was screaming every now and again. And then... suddenly we heard someone inside the Ballroom said "ENERGY!!!" and then AhDi's voice singing the reff. of "Mao Nian Mou Yue Mou Yi Tian" Vicky's group, me, Dabsky, nenek and toro-chan just stood a bit further, checking the scene when I suddenly thought to myself... "heck, there's no harm in trying" So I SMS-ed someone that I knew from Universal Music Indonesia and asked if I can joined the PresCon just to take some pics, I also said that I'm all by myself and if its not possible then its ok lah. He called back!!! and I started to panic coz we had bad connection and then -----------, I hurriedly called him back... he said he'll try but he didn't sound too sure because of the security. So there I was, pacing and anticipating and waiting... my hands were cold! And after 5 or 10 minutes, the ballroom door was opened and he came out.

OMGosh... was the security scary or what!!! I was walking to the door with him behind me and when we got there they asked in a threatening manner, "Which media are you from??" All I can do was pointed to the UMI guy who was behind me and said nothing at all. I know I was "illegally" entered and I never like bending or breaking the rules that has been set. So I was really scared!! They asked again a few times but he was the one who answered and shoo the security away and then practically pushed me in!! When I get in... OH MY GOSH..!!!!!!!!!! I'm in! I'm in! And there they were... oh what a lovely lovely view!! But I was kinda dead in my track coz it looks so 'formal' than other PresCon that I've been to, and no photographing activities what so ever, as I had no "media pass" around my neck I had to be discreet, then.. who did I spot sitting on the floor at the very front? Kuuga!! So I did my little girly discreet walked, tip toeing and dropped down beside him! Oohh.. now at least I know someone inside ^_^

I asked him why isn't there anyone taking pics? And as I expected, the photographing session is already over for now, but I did click away here and there. As before... I did my ''crawling" with my knees until finally I kneeled down at the center of the group! Ooh.. what a lovely lovely view!! I hope the pictures will come out good since I only brought my Nikon F90 and had a little problem with it. Lots of pics of AhDi, and also Shu Wei & Niu Nai but KunDa was kinda blocked by the flowers on the table. I think they looked at me several times [KunDa and Ahdi], I know they did! [although I might not even registered in their memory bank now ^_^] I mean, how can they not? I was the only girl squating down right at the very front between the Pers people who sat behind me on the seats provided and their little stage, and I was trying to be calm as possible and not acting as a mad craze fan and talked and grinning with Kuuga every now and then. Ooh what a lovely lovely view I had! And then we were allowed to take pictures again and by that time I stood less than 1 meter away from them [Niu Nai directly in front of me].. OOHHH WHAT A GORGEOUS GORGEOUS VIEW I HAD!!! When the photo session was over and they were leaving the stage... I was kinda in doubt, should I offered my hand to shake theirs?? but i was a little embarrassed, coz no one else seems to doing that.. but then as Niu Nai and Shu Wei passed me by a couple of people shook their hands and then as KunDa was about to passed me by I lean forward and stretched out my right arm.. "KunDa..!" and he shook my hand!!! Oh my goodness... I was so giddy that when other Pers people starting to leave the room or went to the table for some food and drinks... I just had to sat down!!! My knees went to jello suddenly and my mind went blank... I can't believe I was that close to them... and for the first time, I finally shook hand with the gorgeous KunDa... even if he is blonde now!! Ooh what a lovely lovely feeling that was!! By the end of that day... Vicky and the gank already labelling me.. "she's in a drunk-KunDa moment" ------------------- that my friend.... I WAS!! ^_^


Day 2, 26th September 2003

Woke up from my 4 hours sleep to the news that an uncle of mine has died that morning. He was already a couple of weeks in hospital in a coma, leukimia [blood cancer]. So, I was between panicking re-arrange my plan, packing [coz I'll be joining toro-chan and Dabsky to check in at the SarPan for two nights.... xie xie toro-chan & Dabsky for letting me crashed in with you ^_^ *kiss kiss*] and answering the non-stop phone from my parents [on my uncle] coz my parents live in Bali and phone from my friends [on the EG plan & the Lido plan; this one concerning my campus...] Can you imagine the headache I got.. one little me had to be in three places at the same time!!! Although I've already told my campus peeps weeks before that I can't joined them for the Gathering... they still ask and ask... very sweet.. but annoying. [I'd love to be with you guys also.. I was there crawling to get the HMJI started.. but this time I had to be with EG.... gomene!!]

So I went to Dharmais Hospital first to see my uncle's family and stayed a while and then left with my brother who also had to go to his office. Because toro-chan hasn't arived yet, I went to Vic's room. Oh yeah, before I arrived at the hotel a friend called me [she works at magazine] and asked me to gather a few friends to be in the "Campur Campur" [ an afternoon live chatshow] where Energy was scheduled to be the guest. Turned out the TV people allowed anyone who wants to join in the studio [but this time the studio was set up at the hotel's club, so Energy didn't have to leave the hotel... poor thing] Quite a few fans there, just enough to energized the show but didn't ruin in. The security was as always.... very strict.

The show itself was so much fun. So many girls were kept screaming AhDi, Shu Wei, Niu Nai KunDa's name which they sweetly reply with a nod or a wave. The group sat between Rani [a singer who also speaks fluent mandarin] and I must say... she's good! She wasn't there just to be their interpreter but she knows how to conduct the conversation in the show so that the guys and the fans don't have to be "blank" for a long time to understand what's the topic of the conversation is about. Few funny moments are:

* when AhDi felt his lips are too dry and asked for a lipbalm
[not lipgloss! i think there is a difference between lipbalm-to prevent dry lips; and a lipgloss-to make the lips looks shine. I think its great that they care about their own body & health, unlike some guys who doesn't care if they have chopped lips or not ^_^ ] Not many fans realized this at first coz the way they were sitting, KunDa kinda blocked AhDi from the fans' view, but some did spotted him and started making noises... then all the people in the studio noticed him putting the lipbalm but just grinned, AhDI didn't seem to care too much, beside his hair kinda covered his face anyway. He repeated it again later on.. in front of everyone's view!! Coz he already changes his seat to the middle, but he covered his face with his hand this time. very cute AhDi.... ^_^

*Shu Wei's confused, surprised and shy look.
The host asked who between the four of them took the longest time to be make up, and the fans instantly yell "Shu Wei!". His face was kinda confused when the audience yelled his name in unison, and when the question was translated he was kinda surprised and then looked kinda embarrassed for a second... he's just too sweet and a very funny young man!

*Niu Nai's glare every now and again.
Which can be intimidating and scary! He has this look whenever he doesn't understand something, or when he look at the host speaking to him in bahasa indonesia. And then the next minute he would put on his silly grin again and those bugs bunny teeth are just too cute!

*hmmm, actually this isn't funny moments but kinda embarrassing for the rest of us. You see, some fans had the chance to gave the guys some gifts, and some of them pushing their luck by asking for hugs & kisses! hmm girls... they're asian guys and not western!!!!! you're lucky they're still polite and didn't obviously push you away. pfftt.

*Energy learned a new dance movements!!
A Jaipongan [one of indonesia's traditional dance] dancer was brought in to show the guys the move and then they had to copied it... it was just hilarious how they tried it. and very very very cute! The dance movement are so different than what the guys used to, and has a lot of movements using the hands and your bums! Niu Nai's dance and facial expression are priceless! Shu Wei.... hmm he better stick to his own EG dance *_^ AhDi... are just too cute [Shu Wei laugh real hard when he was watching AhDi making his effort to dance.. he laugh until he cough several times] and KunDa.... my KunDa *sigh*... those biceps of him taking my breath away and he's just too cute... he pulled it off pretty well i think *_^

My friend had the chance to record the whole show [even the what happend in the studio during commercial brake [ and before you ask for a copy... sorry, my friend said she'll not make any or plan or selling it, coz it just isn't right, so she just gonna keep it as part of a memory... sorry] so when we got back to our room, we re-watched the whole show again and it was just as hilarious as watching it the first time. These guys are just so sweet and funny and energetic... gotta love 'em. ^_^
Then we got ready for the meet & Greet session!

It was quite a long and strict and boring boring process this M&G session. And all rules of keeping calm and quite and do things in an orderly manner are forgotten the instant the guys were in. I felt sorry for the people who actually paid Rp. 500.000,- for this M&G ticket. Not only Indonesia is the ONLY country I know where you have to PAY for a Meet & greet session, the so called "exclusive" merchandise that were promised was nothing but a whole lot of BS. The only exclusive thing was the signed CD. What? They never heard of merchandise such as t-shirt, pins, stickers ???? toro-chan, Dabsky, Vicky.... gomen ne... i felt terrible that i got to be in on free ticket... but hey, at least you guys had the front seat view! and a wink from AhDi !!! ^_^

As nere-chan said, we had quite some time to watch the others before it was our turn, and we finally made up our minds what to say to them in that couple of seconds that were allowed by the organizers. I was still feeling composed when Shu Weigave me their already signed E3' CD and shook my hand, but when I was in front of KunDa and said "Kunda, this is for you." Then he said "oh" & nodded, took the gift from me, and then leaned a bit towards me & look directly to my eyes, shook my hand and said "thank you" ------ khyiaaaa I instantly went blank. I just went directly to AhDi who said "hello" and shook his hand, then to Nui Nai who said the same thing and I shook his hand. I have no clue what replied I gave to AhDi and Niu Nai...... I'm too starstruck!! ha ha ha ha ha I know they treated all the fans pretty much the same.. leaned forward-look you in the yes and said thank you.. bit still.. the effect are so undescribeable!! ^_^ And when Vicky and the gank kept yelling my name and teasing me from their front row seats... I'm too embarrassed to notice anything else but trying to compose and calm myself... unsuccessfully!! I think Vicky & her gank and me got quite a few stares from the others who were confused why are these girls gigling and yelling and being noisy but not to the Energy guys!!! It was funny now i think about it... but not funny when i was still on stage!!!! khyiaaaaaaaaaa
I had a hard time keeping my facial expresion to look "normal" for the group photo... not sure if I did though!! THANX TO VICKY & CREW!!! *pletak Vicky dan crew-nya*

On the side track; thank goodness my reporter friend was in too, so I asked her to took some pics of the M&G session for me [only the Pers people allowed to take some pics.... for a few bloody minutes!!!!] And later on... while we're back in our room and re-watch the Campur-Campur recording again, Kuuga stopped by our room. And he was so nice and offered if he wanted to see the PresCon or M&G recording that he made [he's recording 'officially'] we only got to watch a few minutes coz he didn't bring the right cable and his camcorder and my friend's different so we couldn't watch it via the telly. O hmy gosh he had behind the scene footage... KunDa's serious expression was sooooooooooooo cute when playing play station... *kiss kiss kiss* AhDi constantly SMS-ing and Shu Wei keep drinking and drinking until the last second before entering the M&G room where even at the last second, Yellow had to snatched the drink from his hand! ^_^ Nui Nai was missing from the picture.. where he was?? Still sleeping!!! I think that's why they were kinda late.

And then Kuuga took out something from his bagpack and said "Oh here's your thingy" When I saw the white carton my eyes already bulging 3 sizes more than the usual... and when I opened it I screamed and fall down on my kness... OH MY GAWDDDDDD... he sign it! He signed it!! I asked the person from Universal if he could asked Energy's autograph, its a picture of KunDa that mrs.chou took at their PresCon last May. And then as a last thought I also slipped in a small flyer for their concert. They signed them all!!!!!!! Oh i love those guysssss ... thank you KK... thank you Kuuga.... I didn't think its possible since the Universal guy already said that this time around, the group's management is so so so strict and heartless that they answer 'NO' to many requests. There's a mising sig from Niu Nai, coz when they sneakely asked for the groups auothograph, and were looking for Niu Nai... they found him sleeping! he he he he he ^_^

Day 3, 27th September 2003

I joined Vicky and the gank this time around because toro-chan and Dabsky wanted to go to the airport to witness the arrival of another 'bemper boyz' a.k.a. Wilber Pan Wei Bo. Quite a good pics and footage they came back with ^_^
My group arrived before 1.30 pm although we know the concert wasn't supposed to start until 8 pm, and then we took turn to have something to eat before we were told to queque outside the entrance door. Very funny time there... the Festifal and Tribune section was quite packed and there's only me and another girl who were waiting at the VIP section!! Turned out we had to really wait at the door inside [the actual door to where the venue is] but I didn't get inside until around 5.30 pm coz I was waiting for my friend who got the 'Media Pass' to get my cameras and tape recorder in.

While I was quequeing moments before the door was opened I lost my ticket! Although they've already put a VIP stamp on my hand I still feel we gonna need the ticket... I've searched through my bag and my friend's bag for more than 5 times!!! Still couldn't find... I have no idea where it could gone to coz I didn't move from my spot the last time I had the ticket in my hand. I was about to enter the venue in panic mode when suddenly nere-chan.. "oro? what's this?" aaarrrghhhhhhhh she took out two tickets from her pocket!!! khyiaaaaa khyiaaaa *toeng* nere-chan for making me so panic!!! ^_^

When we got in.. all the very front seats already taken, but we got third row center seats. Once we sat down and put down our bag.... we look at the stage and the crowds at the Festifal area....... ---------------- EMPTY---------------
I was really truly shocked!! I know there weren't many tickets were actually sold, but I didn't expect that the venue was going to be that spacious!! You could play football, skateboard, running...etc in that area. And it doesn't look like many more people coming in. I was so shocked and sad that I was ready to cry at any moment.... and I did shed a tear then. It's just too sad. And when I SMS the peeps in the Fest area.. they're feeling the same thing. The guys has been going through so many rough times and because of the now 4 formation group, not only they had to prepared real hard for their first concert, they had to work extra extra hard because of the many changes due to baka Toro for leaving the group. I felt so sorry for them... it just seemed so unfair for Niu Nai, AhDi, KunDa and Shu Wei....

baka!!! the indonesian production team who brought Energy for the much lack of preparation!! So little promotion, so litlle consideration for the non-working fans [on the much expensive stuff], and for many many things. I know this is their first effort but, does it have to be this bad???!!!!!!!
I'm mad, and sad, and shocked and just felt ready to kill something!
If only they did a lot more range for the promotion and the tickets wasn't that expensive... I'm sure more people wanna come. Because people has to be shown what Energy has to offer, and many people who at first look down on them as just another chinese boyband... will changed their mind and said that Energy is something, once they saw the dance and heard the not so pop music! It's been happening like this so many times to my campus friends and some of them are guys even! It's a good thing by the time the concert was started... the Festifal area wasn't so empty anymore. The tribune was still pretty empty and the VIP crowds needs a head-check!!!! How was it possible for them to sit still with their hands folded up neatly on their lap and just sat there and watch the concert!!! hello... this is a very energetic concert... not classic concert or an opera... pppfffffffttttt to you all for being so cold.

But luckily by the end of the concert, I've truly really positively enjoyed myself properly!!! Outside my girly fan mode, the concert was spectacular Not many frills or special effects done which made it even better. The well choreagraph dance with its difficult move was brilliant, the costume was really them and not too much or too weird like what other chinese boyband *coughefsekcough* like to wear, and the way they still appriciate the little numbers of audiences and the constant way of them trying to build communication with the fans are really sweet and touching.

The big surprise of course when AhDi cried and they sang an indonesian song!!! Ok, so the true fans won't be too surprise if AhDi or KunDa cried.... they're really sweet guys and really had a soft hearts when it comes to them and their fans.
It was during a ballad when it was only the two of them on stage. Shu Wei was playing the solo guitar and AhDi was doing the lead vocal, after a couple of minutes i noticed there's something in AhDi's voice and I whispered to my partner in concert-craze.

me: Nere-chan, I think AhDi is crying.
nere: really?
me: yeah. I think I just heard him choke.
nere: really?
^_^

then we both pay our attention back to the stage and then...
Shu Wei: [stop playing his guitar] eehh Ahdi! you're crying??
the crowds went wild..... and then we all starting to chant: AhDi Jia You!!
AhDi just grinned shyly and wiped his tears.
Shu Wei then lead the crowds with their chanting.... it was one of the concert-moments for me. Hearing those louds, out of the top of the lungs type of scream...
"AhDi Jia You!! AhDi Jia You!! AhDi Jia You!!AhDi Jia You!!"
Although then I whispered to nere-chan:
"this not gonna stop him from crying... he's gonna cry even more!" ^_^
[although from the outside AhDi physical feature is the biggest and male looking than the other 3, he's the youngest in the group and the youngest in his own family of 5 older sisters who are much much older than him!! he's a bit of a cry baby... but that makes him even sweeter... at least he's not afraid to show his real feeling!]

And then they sang again and a few minutes later joined by KunDa and Niu Nai. When the song has finished, Niu Nai commented to AhDI.
"Yo, Ahdi. You're already a big guy and still crying?"
bwaha ha ha ha ha ha Niu Nai is the silliest and funniest!! and it didn't stop there! no sir-ii..

when it was time for each of them to say something, they introduce themself first, and instead of "Wo de..." like last May, this time and for the past days they're in jakarta, they always said.. "Saya Niu Nai" [I'm Niu Nai in bahasa indonesia] then when it was AhDi turned to speak, the crowd was still screaming then Niu Nai put his forefinger in front of his mouth and "pssstt! pssstt!! be quite. if you're not listening to what AhDi gonna say, he's going to cry again!!" bwaha ha ha ha ha ha *toeng Niu Nai!*
Then it was the less-speaking member of the group... my darling KunDa's... turn to say something, and again, Niu Nai just had to say the cutest and funniest thing.
Niu Nai: "Hey KunDa.. you haven't said anything much the whole night. Let's let him speak now" and you know what he, AhDi and Shu Wei did?? The three of them walked over to the other end of the stage and left KunDa where he was to deliver his speech! ha ha ha ha ha the view of that moment was so funny... not to mention KunDa's expression when he saw the others left him standing there. But when KunDa finally spoke... he also shed a tear or two!! Aaahhh KunDa.. hiks hiks.. felt like running away to the stage and gave him a big hug! bwaha ha ha ha ha *toeng me!* Another concert-moment for me... when it was Niu Nai's turn to sang something solo, he went down to the lower part of the stage.. then Shu Wei who stood right behind him, with his silly grin, put his arms on Niu Nai's shoulder [Shu Wei still on the actual stage which just a bit higher] and then, as if a last minute thought... he put both his legs too.. y'know like a pony/back ride kinda thing. Its so cuteeeeeeeeeeeee, and Niu Nai doesn't even budge!! Of course I've read how strong Niu Nai is [even if he looks smaller than the others, he's the one who has a six-packed tummy!!!] and that moment I've witnessed it!

And then nere-chan was surprised and said "Huh? They're going to sing an indonesian song?" We both waiting with anticipation... what song? what song?.. and then:
..piano intro..

Selamat ulang tahun kami ucapkan
Selamat panjang umur kami pun berdoa---> wrong lyric
Selamat sejahtera, sehat sentosa
Selamat ulang tahun dan bahagia... ---> wrong lyric

oh my gosh!!! Nere-chan and I cracked up laughing... out of the whole indonesian song, and they chose to sing a birthday song??? After the first time, Shu Wei then yelled, we don't care if its correct or not.. let's sing it again!!! and so by the second and third time, the whole crowds joined in to sing the happy birthday song!! According to toro-chan who stood at the very front at the Festifal area, they did plastered the lyrics to the stage's floor earlier, but only Shu Wei and AhDi who kept on glancing at the lyrics while Niu Nai and KunDa memorized them perfectly! toro-chan also said that while singing the song, Niu Nai kept pointing toward himself... he he he he maybe they were inspired by what happened yesterday at "Campur-Campur"? where the fans sang 'happy birthday to you' in english and mandarin for Niu Nai who celebrated his birthday at the beginning of Sept?? what ever their reason was... I bow down for their effort and flawless singing a foreign song for the first time. When they finished the song, the crowds cheered so loud and the guys cracked up laughing themself!! They confessed of being so nervous singing it and asked if they were any good.... of course we said they were... because,they really were!! *kiss kiss kiss* Energy for being so thoughtful and creative and just plain sweeeeeeeeeettt

Gotta love them saying flawless bahasa indonesia... so far I've heard them said: Saya.... Apa kabar?.... Aku cinta kamu........ Terima Kasih..... "semua deh ada di sini"..... and that song... but who thought them that song? he/she is not a good indonesian coz he/she tought Energy wrong lyrics!!!! but that's okay... its an added cuteness for the guys ^_^ They did said last May how they thought that bahasa indonesia is funny/cute... because we speaks with so many rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr in our sentences bwaha ha ha ha ha ha... we thought it was so cute to hear them spoke in bahasa indonesia with the strange r that they pronounce! ^_^

All in all, the concert was VERY VERY VERY ENTERTAINING!!! The dance was brilliant, the singing and rapping was great, their talkativeness was very sweet. My hats off, my thumbs up for the show and Energy have my complete admiration for their work and i truly love them... I wish them all the best for their future career and group!

After the concert we went back to the hotel and when I got back to my room, it was already pass 1.30 am!!! Then me, toro-chan and Dabsky ordered room service... when it was already 2.30 am but we couldn't help it, now the concert is over all our appetite are back! ha ha ha ha we finally slept at 4 a.m


Day 4, 28th September 2003

I woke up at 9 o'clock and the first feeling.... I miss KunDa already! I don't know how that's possible since we're not even truly friends or anything. But for the past four days the guys had made it like we all know each other and as silly as it may seem.... I do miss them and that feeling brought tears to my eyes... ;p
Me, Dabsky, toro-chan, Vicky and her gank went to the airport to see them off. But as usual the security was strict and they all went out of the car and straight in. Did saw AhDi coz he's the first one .. and i think i got the pic of him looking gorgeous in a green checked shirt, everyone else wore hats except him.
Another funny thing... their backup dancers were Nui Nai's protege, a group collectively known as TBC, the dance group that he [and i think with another friend] 'built'. And they were quite good looking and were really friendly, so many fans who were waiting around at the hotel's lobby and the airport went up to them and asked for an authograph and a picture together, which they so willlingly gave... much success to them! They did one hell of a dance show.... they can do an upside down style with only one hand on the floor and their feet up.. really really straight!!

I hope Energy wasn't discourage with the small number of audiences and return to Indonesia again. coz I've been hearing many statements of how the fans love them even more and they also gained many new admirers. But by the look on their faces during the concert, I think given the chance, they will come back. The four of them were full smiles and look very very happy indeed. Thumbs up for all the indonesian fans in the concert who showed Energy their love and constant support. And the loud loud screaming help too ^_^

Jia You Energy!!! Good Luck for your future project!! Can't wait for your 4th album and COME BACK SOON YA HEAR...!!! ^_^

PS. I didn't said much on Wilber, coz there isn't much to say. He came on the afternoon flight on the day of the concert, then show up to do the rap in Ramen song together with Energy. Looks gorgeous wearing the blue shirt. he only sang medley of his hits song from the previous album [Kiss Me 123, Just When I Needed You Most, etc etc] and one song from his new album... i don't know the title but its not the 'My Microphone' He didn't do much at the hotel and left the same flight and day with Energy. Btw, his new MV is out on MTV ^_^


Now, I have 4 rolls of film to be printed, a report to write and a Chapter 1 & 2 of my own thesis to write.................... somebody shoot me!!!!!!!

[update]----------------------------

things that I remembered:

that whole day, from being in "Campur-campur" and then to "Meet & Greet" and later on to their rehearsal... they wore the same clothes!! Shu Wei & KunDa change their shirts when we saw them at the rehearsal, but AhDi & Nui Nai stick to their clothes from that noon until midnight!! You guys.... ugh..! ^_*

Actually it was the first thing that I noticed when they entered the M&G session... I said to nere-chan & nenek... "eeehhh?? they didn't even change their clothes??" Me and the girls made the time to change ours and some of us even went a bit further and took a shower!

One of Vicky's friend who is a KunDa's lover forgot Niu Nai's name!! We have no idea how that was possible.. I mean. the way it was set, we're going to shake hands with Shu Wei then KunDa then AhDi then Niu Nai. If she's going to be so starstruck with KunDa, then at least she's going to forgot AhDI's name... so when she said.. Ni hao Shu wei? Ni Hao KunDa? Ni Hao AhDI? Ni Hao KunDa? !!!!!!!!!!! oro??? and you know what the ooh so cute Niu Nai said to her mistake?? [and we think he pouted a bit too] wo de Niu Nai!! bwaha ha ha ha ha ha ha... if only someone has that on tape!

I also remember what comment I gave when I saw the M&G session:
"this is not a Meet & Greet session, this is "Gift Collecting" session!!!" I mean all the fans allowed to do was come up, shook hands, gave them the gifts if you brought any and then took group photos! You're only face to face with the guys for about 2 seconds! Although if I stood more than 2 seconds in front of them with the guys looking straight at you... I'd probably turned into an idiot; with my mouth open, no facial expression and no words coming out of my mouth! bwaha ha ha ha ha ha ha You guys the non Energy fans might think me and the others are just plain nuts, but wait 'till you see them up close and wait until you see them dance & breakdance... you gonna go ga ga too! ^_^

It's so funny... I don't think Energy's management even realized that there's gonna be that much gifts coz Yellow hurriedly use the sacks that previously use for the signed E3 CDs to put the gifts in, he hurriedly put each of the guy's name in each sacks [big white transparant plastic bag such as for the garbage]. Its funny watching the Energy guys also so busy putting their gifts in because from each gift to another there's only about 1-2 seconds difference ^_^
By the end of the M&G session, Energy had collectively come out with 10 [TEN] sacks of gifts!!!!!!!!!!!! And I heard the guys requested them all to be brought back to Taiwan because they didn't have the chance to take a look at them. Khyiaaaaaaa Khyiaaaaaaa I hope KunDa like the HRC cap that I gave him ^_^

Forgot to mention, that when Kuuga was in our room after the Meet & Greet session, he told us that EG was scheduled to have a rehearsal from 10pm to midnight. Then toro-chan and the expert Dabsky decided to check it out, me and nenek followed. We were between excited and scared... of being kicked out and spotted by the security.. but we managed to see them for about 5 minutes!!!

We were at the balcony where the Tribune seats are.. the stage was directly in front/below us... oh my... it was one of the best EG moments for me. Why? Coz to me, at the time, they looked so different... so free. I guess even their management sets some strict rules for them to follow.. and it just not really them. I was so mesmerized. I noticed KunDa right away, with his very blonde hair, basketball black tee... flexing his hands and then starting some dance moves... I was so into watching them that I didn't even noticed that Dabsky was asking me a question... it was quite a few seconds later that I noticed her looking at me and I was like... "Huh? What? Did you asked something???" bwaha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha Dui Bu Qi Dabsky dear............ gue lagi bener-bener in KunDa-mode!!! ha ha ha ha ha
We didn't stay long coz the night guard said that he needed to close the door, I don't think he lied coz the other security people who were watching also got kicked out ^_^ We went back to the hotel feeling very very jittery!!! I really love those unexpected moments.

A silly me moments also happened when I was at the PresCon, I was squating down at the very front, and the whole atmosphere was kinda quite because a "Q&A" session was in progress, then suddenly... quite a loud melody of "Oh Yes" can be heard... I hurriedly srambling for my mobile at my back pocket and while I was trying to get it, I noticed KunDa & AhDi was looking at the silly me!!!!!!!! khyiaaaaa how could I forgot that moment!! It totally slipped my mind coz my phone keep ringing!and I was panicking! Why oh why people started calling when I'm already inside and not before! I was just scared I disturbed the PresCon.... but now I remembered.. I don't care! Coz that phone ringing got the attention of KunDa and AhDi!!! [Shu Wei & Niu Nai sat with their back on me when the first I got in front] khyiaaaa! khyiaaaa! How can I forgot???!!! ha ha ha ha *toeng silly ira*

When it was already 8pm and the show still hasn't started I SMS mrs.chou... how I was gonna cry seeing the empty seats, then SMS her again to just try and asked KKhue if he can get her in since its so empty, and then we heard from another gal from a mag that they actually let peeps in the venue, so I SMS her again and told her to just come! Nere-chan and I were jumping up and down and screaming and laughing when I finally spotted her below. I told her to come up. Then I gave her a glow stick and told her to use that instead of her voice, but... when moments later on AhDi went to the side of the stage she forgot all about her health and started to scream on the top of her lung... "AhDi Wo Ai Ni!!!!!!!!!!!" she did it once, twice and then... she just kept screaming whenever she had the chance... I didn't have the heart to stop her. After all, it is our dreams to be in Energy's concert. And so by the time the concert was over, she was caughing badly and had to threw up at the toilet! And I read that her bronchitis relapse and she got sick the whole Sunday!!! Get well soon okay mrs.chou! ^_^
