FTP Concert

I learned up this hair from Bubbi's hair tutorials video.
However i think i could've done better XP
On 13th January, Jun (a fan of Foster the People) bring me to the concert.
He bought the ticket during December, he wanted the Fanatic Zone that is much nearer to the stage
however, it was sold off, so he bought the cheaper alternative one.

*This was took at 6.30pm i think*

That day, we take LRT from Asia Jaya after Sedaya's lunch from Yuniku
and when we arrived it was around 5.30pm.
There weren't many people, so we take some light dinner first and bought some magazines to read while waiting.
Foster the people banner.
There were really quite a lot of people! The que was really long.
From one end of the convention centre to the other end, and to outside too.
They have only 2 zones that night, Fanatic zone and regular/party zone.
Jun got the party zone's.

Reading magazine while waiting.


This is our light lunch XP
During the wait, many people gave cheers randomly, as if the FTP were out.
some Fans were singing FTP's song while waiting.
When people started to stand up, we quickly pack our things.
there were many security guards there to make sure we abide with the rules etc?
When they check Jun's camera bag, they saw Jun's DSLR they really ask him to get out.
No matter what Jun said " i won't take, i promise" etc, the guard just smile coldly and shake his head.

Then, we felt really panic, coz we travel by LRT, and we have no where to keep the bag of camera.
Jun thought of asking the information counter though, so he left and asked me to go in first if i manage to.

So they checked mine. I have a compact camera in my bag. However, he did not open it to see, but just feeling with his hand. And with his hand, he only felt the water bottle in my bag, so he took it off and let me go in. But still, they didn't check the plastic bag i was holding, there was another water bottle hiding behind of the magazine. Geez, illegal much yeah.

Before i officially passed the ticket to another staff, i waited there for Jun. So afraid that Jun will not be able to keep his camera somewhere safe, and ended up sitting outside of the hall. :/ But seriously, if he is going to be prohibited from entering in the end, i'd wait outside till the concert end to hold the camera and let him in.

Then while waiting for him behind the bar. He just put his camera bag on the floor infront of the bar and whispered "bring it in." So, i just bend down and get the camera bag. I passed through security guards, therefore no one's going to check me already. But I'm still afraid that they'd notice.

I passed the tickets to the staff, and they let me in, with me carrying the camera bag and they didn't notice.
Oh well... POKER FACE passed ;D

Then i waited inside there till Jun entered.
We got in at 8.00pm i think?
and then we waited till the concert start.
While waiting, the party zone kept shouting and requesting to go nearer to the front since it's free standing, and the fanatic zone didn't take up much space.

So, after much consideration, the management team came and move the bar nearer to the front.
However, during the first song itself when Mark Foster came out, some random party zone's audience managed to push the bars down, and all the party zone begin entering the fanatic zone.
The security guard was there, but they can't seem to do much since everybody is running and pushing already.
Jun and I almost got pushed down, but we managed to hold on, quickly grab our things and go.
He started off taking pictures by using my compact camera.
But as you can see in the picture, many people were recording.
They were using their smartphones. hahaha
I got to admit, Mark's voice is super good.
He sound so original here and in the CD.
though i do not know much of his songs... but I really love the music
The crowds cheer for every song, and sing along together with Mark Foster.
But seriously, i can't see much, i am so short!
I only peek through holes in between people's neck and shoulders.
But one thing i enjoyed very much is when Wen-Jun sing along as well.
His face is so funny and so happy.
I can't describe.
But knowing that he manage to enter the hall, and listening to him singing along with Mark together with the crowds, and looking at his expressions.... the way he shout.. the way he close his eyes ahahahha
makes me feel so happy for Jun, and makes me feel soooo in love over again. LOL
The concert was ended with Pumped Up Kick's song. (like predicted)
and that's the only song i knew. hahahha
The crowds were really hyped up too!
Jun & i after concert

I've been to children's concert and school's concert though,
but this is the first real celebrity concert.
