We are .... F . I . R !!!

One word to describe F.I.R concert that I went last Saturday at Genting.


A W E S O M E !


Yes, it was that good until I have to admit it was the BEST concert I've ever been to in my entire life (up to now, that is), even better than Sammi's, even better than S.H.E's, even better than Jay's, OMG!

To cut a long story short, yeah, overall the whole trip was kind of tiring. REALLY tiring (which kinda explains the delay of this post). After packing off all my stuffs before leaving my ex-Ipoh home on Friday, i moved out officially on the same afternoon itself & reached KL by evening. By the time I land my foot at home, not even after breathing some of the much needed 'homely' air, I rushed to take my bath & start unpacking stuffs I don't need in order to clear out the bag for the next day trip to Genting for F.I.R concert.

Next day, off I go to Genting with both my parents. Wait a minute, WTF?! Both my parents? What in the world are they following me up to Genting for F.I.R? No, actually they're just joining me to go up Genting as my dad claim they have some 'Magic Mirror' play a.k.a 'Kuan-Yin-wannabe-&-co-live-in-a-play-kinda-thing' showing in Genting at the same time as well. Oh well, no harm done, moreover initially I have no place to stay in Genting anyway...now that my parents, aunty, cousin bro & grandma (notice the number of family members who followed me up to Genting, zzz..), I get a free place to stay in Resort's World, thanks to my aunty who collected tons & tons of WorldCard points from her 'friendly' casino friends.

Also, I have to sacrifice my own privacy to enjoy the F.I.R concert alone, as I was 'forced' to bring my cousin bro together to the concert. Haihz, & I thought I can finally watch a concert alone, all alone in my own world & no nonsense, no need to feel shy & 'pai seh' especially if you're shouting Faye's name like some insane lunatic or if you're on 'high' mode after hitting on some fast tunes. Also, you can have the ultimate flexibility to take your own sweet time to come early to the concert 1 freaking hour earlier & go back to your hotel room 1 hour after the concert & no one will say a thing. Haihz....I miss my lovely loneliness. When shall I see you again, my dear 'friend'?

One more thing...check out the difference between the 2 pictures below, and tell me which one looks better.

This one,


or this one?

Obviously the latter looks SO MUCH better, right? As expected, the first pic came from my good ol' lousy Canon Powershot A460 camera who keeps 'auto-shutdown-due-to-forever-low-battery-regardless-of-whether-using-new-battery-or-not' & 'it-takes-forever-to-recharge-the-flash-after-each-shot', and the second pic, oh well, taken by pro photographers using DSLR's who are either rich fellas forking a few more hundred bucks for the VIP seats or media staffs who, well, obviously use high-tech DSLR in which the lens are as thick as 10 roti canai's stacked together & is freaking long & hard enough to knock someone (or should I say, anyone? ) unconscious. I wouldn't say everyone at the VIP area uses DSLRs', but if I ever get myself a seat there too, I guess I can take a picture much nicer than the first pic above. Seriously.

Anyway, they deserve the credit for taking such nice & insanely professional pics for us mere humans to savor, and here comes the credit list for the nice pics posted here :

For the pleasure of viewing, here are the lousy pics I've taken during the concert. Yeah, they are kinda lousy, blur, shaky & unprofessional, but hey, it was taken by me myself on a crappy camera & on a PS2 seat area. Which makes me d*mn proud as I've been to an F.I.R concert! w00t!~ And yeah, just in case you took /copied any of my lousy pics here, please provide the link back to my site. A little credit is more than enough, thanks in advance.

View from my seat at the concert.

Planets? Hanging here in Genting? WTF?

Ugly Malaysians being late for the concert...as usual.

1st song & you're already facing your back to me, Faye? I'm hurt!

Real a.k.a Ah Ching doing the thing!

Sometimes rockstars do get tense like us, hmm.

Stoning & cooling down for the moment.

Still stoning? Well, maybe they are too tired with all the casino activities last night.

"Use Rexona & clear off unpleasant smells!"

Faye doing acoustic...& gosh, her voice kills!

We are F.I.R...err, where's Ian?

Faye singing some high tune part...really professional voice controlling!

Hey Faye, I'm here! You're blowing the kiss at the wrong direction!

Thank you Malaysia...emo betul.

Ian shouts "My mic for sale!!! Going once..."

& now....the nice, professional pics which are taken by other people. But still...they're nice! Credits mentioned as per above.

Oh gosh, still high even after returning back home. Oh well, need to start returning to reality and face the cruel fact to look for another job. Haihz, reality hurts.

This concert is definitely worth it.
