Recently, I attended the F1 Grand Prix outdoor concert on the 20th of Sept 2013! Why did I go? For Big Bang of course! It was an outdoor concert which lasted for around 1.5 hours and worth only $68 (plus $2 booking fee).
Since both my friend and I had school to attend on Fri, we decided that whoever ends school early will go over to queue first. My friend had heard that a few VIPs had already queued overnight and some manage to take a photo with the dancers from Hi-tech (MY KWON TWINS!). Nevertheless, I finished my 6 hour lab within 4 hours and rushed down straight to City Hall and queued. In total, I waited for the start of the concert for 9 hours; from 2.30pm-11.15pm. Well, at least I didn't stay overnight.
Upon entering the gates, hordes of fangirls started running ahead and were warned by the security to stop running. Running madly, all for Big Bang. When I stepped onto the Padang stage, I was full of anticipation cause the stage was mega huge! I imagined Big Bang stepping onto the huge stage and WOAHHHH! Hahaha, sorry fangirl mode on.
Anyway, nearing the evening, the practice race started and listening to the vroom vroom of the engine is totally different from hearing them on tv. No wonder there are fanatics of F1 who are still willing to watch the race. The exhilaration and tension when seated and watching the F1 Grand Prix live. It was my first experience to be in the circuit and hear the engines live.
Then after waiting for another few hours, at around 9.30pm, the band came in and all the VIPs started to get up and ran closer to the stage. My friend and I were flabbergasted. Seriously it's only 9.30pm and we are already standing up? It was squeezy, sweaty, hot and tiring to be standing there for another 2 hours. Well, I didn't want to stand up but if I didn't, I believe I would have been squashed flat by the other VIPs.
At least, the spot I'd taken was near the extended stage and when Big Bang came out, they were really near. Thank goodness I could see them; 9 hours of waiting time was nothing after this close proximity of interaction.
During the concert, Big Bang members took time to hype up the mood and talk to us in English. Taeyang rapped out what he ate in Singapore, GD promoted his new album and the possibility of coming back to Singapore for another concert. TOP was cool throughout and Daesung tried to converse with us with English. Seungri forgot his lyrics for one of the old hits (I think).
Big Bang sang a lot of their hit songs like Lies, Fantastic Baby, Stupid Liar etc etc. And how can I forget the dancers! The female and male dancers! They were awesome (as usual) and full of fun! I can tell they're really enjoying the stage! The Kwon twins were remarkable and dashing too! Don and Deuk!
As the concert comes to an end, the VIPs started chanting for encore stage which the Big Bang members did! YEAH! They sang another 2 songs and that ended the whole concert (sadly).
