It's all been quite a blur really. I just stooped down to tie my shoelaces, and already finals are 2 weeks away. Next week's Reading Week, so I get the week off, but everybody knows that "Reading Week" actually means "Pull-Hair-Out-and-Cry-in-Frustration Week". Damn, I'm seriously enjoying my time here, so I guess I'm discovering that I have masochistic tendencies. For some reason, fighting to get to the top of the bell curve amidst thousands of smart people around, gets me all giggly... or something.
At any rate... took some time off of my dreary life to catch a concert on tuesday. Not any rubbish concert, mind you, but I went for a LINKIN PARK CONCERT! Okay, I'll be honest and say that this is my first actual concert, but hey who else better to give your concert virginity to?
The concert was held at the Singapore Indoor Stadium. Yes, they have so few stadiums that the indoor stadium is actually named that. The place wasn't too bad I guess, and I think I prefer indoor stadiums. I only went with one other friend, because all the other cheapos here didn't want to spend 90 bucks to watch LINKIN PARK. Heck, actually I think we were cheapos as well to buy only the 90 bucks ticket... The seats were actually, well, quite far.
Yes, Chester looked like a cockroach prancing around the stage from the distance where I was sitting. Yes, the concert took an entire hour to start. And then, yes, it only went on for about 90 minutes. Yes, that means I lost about a dollar a minute. But did i regret going? Hell no. The band was awesome, the songs were awesomely played (they played all the cool songs from Meteora and Hybrid Theory, and the rest was Minutes to Midnight), Chester's shouting was awesome.
The stage had this semi-LED screen behind where they had really cool visuals shifting in and out during the concert. The crowd was quite cool, and on some songs (like Numb and Crawling), its possible to actually hear the entire crowd all singing even ABOVE the loud music. One thing about sitting with the seated crowd though. They were so mild, they didn't want to stand until Mike started urging the crowd to get up. I saw quite a few uncles and aunties... I mean, seriously, WTH?!
I did have fun though. It was a blast.
P.S. I know this blog updates itself even slower than a holy book of religion. My apologies, but hey, at least expectation heightens the experience... Right? Right?
P.P.S. Strepsils are cool.
