Arthur's Day
25 Sept 09 @ 8pm
Sunway Lagoon Surf Beach
(To be honest, I'm not like the biggest fan of the stout (but my dad is) but I do steal some sips whenever my dad is having the stout. Most people describe it as black.. and bitter...(name me one liquor which is not bitter??) which it is.. but I love the malty smell of it .. and I like to have it chilled)
The Ticket...
I first know about this event from Nel and he bought me the tickets last month :) (cuz' of Black Eyed Peas :p) But too bad, he got too tied up with work that he couldn't make it :( But.. I got Louise and Brandon going with me instead :D
At the entrance to Sunway Lagoon
The event is supposed to start 8pm, so we were trying to be there on time. Highlight of the event was, of course the Black Eyed Peas! There're other artistes performing as well, including Danny One, MC Hotdog, Reshmonu, ManHand, Joe Flizzow... but knowing that most likely BEP will be the last act, we've decided to grab a bite at Oldtown. We were starving!
..with Louise
While getting in to the venue, everybody got a body temperature check to make sure you're fever free. They also stressed that the event is for those 18 and above and also for non Muslims (I don't know how they check that.. checking IC?).
..with Brandon and Louise .. we looked very siow.. :p
I think it was almost 9pm by the time we were at the party venue. We can't help but to take some photos infront of the BEP backdrop :p
Thursday.... :p
They 'dried' the surf pool (one of my previous experience for an event at the surf pool, I have to soak my feet throughout the event :p). We walked around checking out the lounge and looking for a space to stand. Overall, it has to be far from stage since the front part was quite filled up already.
so farrrr... from the stage
The Lounge..
I met up with Swee Ping who was there with her friends. I remember telling some people that I know that I'll see them there on Facebook. But once I'm there, I didn't see any of them but I bumped into other people that I know unexpectedly tho' :p
We were enjoying ourselves grooving to the music..etc.. but in between of the performances, we got kinda bored in a way. We were soaked in sweat, and started to feel tired. Sei Mou... BEP not even out yet and we were like half dead.
The screen..
The crowd went crazy once BEP was out! with an appropriate 'Let's Get It Started!' We could hardly see the stage once BEP was out, so we went to another spot with a clearer view of the screen, at least (but still blocked by so many things.. ) and occasionally, caught a glimpse of the Peas on stage.
Don't know why everybody was doing this (taking pictures like this).. so.. we also do la
Unexpectedly, they performed quite a number of their songs including 'Shut Up', 'Pump It', 'Don't Phunk with My Heart', 'Big Girls Don't Cry', 'Where is the Love', 'Boom Boom Pow' and 'I Gotta Feeling'. I also like the MJ/old school mix which includes some old school rap and rock songs. It was quite a view seeing everybody dancing/jumping to their songs (while I was too tired to move already :p but wave my hands around still).
I didn't realise that it's actually their 4th visit to Malaysia (I only remember the concert in Genting.. which I missed!)... but they promised that this won't be the last visit (yay!).
The event ended with a BLAST!... literally.. with some fireworks which I didn't see it coming. It was a beautiful sight.. while they played the 'Celebration' song.
Everybody was leaving the venue after that. Things got 'jammed' up a bit since one of the escalators was not working.. and it was so stuffy.. and not forgetting rubbing your hands with other people's sweaty and sticky hands (or any flesh from their body.. especially some sexy chicks :p)...feels yucky!
What a relief when we're out of the place... phew!!
Thanks Dear.. for the tix.. thanks to Louise and Brandon for the great company... and...
TO ARTHUR!
250 Remarkable Years....
