Another Experience - Our Last Night Live Concert, Jakcloth - May 2015

"sorry for the shitty sound. it's not our fault." and so Trevor Wentworth said before started singing. lol

well, they did take a lot of time for sound-checking the instrument. what supposed to be a 19.40 to 21.10 live concert become a 20.00 something to 20.55 live concert.
at first i didn't realized what they mean by 'shitty sound' but then when they started singing, yeah. it was quite bad. i felt some disappointment towards the crew, i mean., hey. they flew from afar just to perform with that?? even Trevor's mic sometimes gone off during the performance.

first thing i learn from watching Creed Live Concert back then in November 2012 is that, when you are at the disadvantage of height, the choices left are go to the front, or go to the back. never go to the middle, because what you're gonna see is just someone else's neck. or head. or hair. or even back.
well, you might get lucky if you tiptoed here and there, but well. it takes it tool. (screaming: oh my feet!!! T___T)

My best friend and i struggle our way to the 4th line at the front. i have to tiptoed a little bit, but it was Okay. for the next two songs. and then we chose to back out. not because i'm tired of tiptoeing, but we were pushed like crazy!!
first, we were somehow stuck around the guys, well there's another two girls in front of us, but i don't know what happen to them after we left our spot.

so, for the first song it was okay, i had to tiptoe, but then the pushing began. and in the next song, i realize that there were some people fighting behind us, thus, pushing us roughly. we were stuck! i can't see anything. i can't even tiptoed! well, how am i supposed to tiptoed while being pushed? and temper, temper. i lost my temper. guess it fell somewhere when i was pushed.

so i asked my bestfriend to go to the back. and even to do that it was a struggle! some guy behind me said to me "mbak,mbak, mending ke belakang aja deh." well, like i didn't know about that! and while we struggle our way, another guy yelling "woy, ada cewek woy! malu!", and then another guy in front of us, acting like a hero also pushing people and yell "woy! ada cewek, woy!" i don't know his intention, he might think that he looks like a hero, but well actually not really. at least if he wanted to be a hero, he would've open up our way. haha. but i appreciate the yelling. thank you, mister i-don't-know-who.

and then we stood at the back. there was a lot of audience! i actually didn't expect Our Last Night to be this famous. haha. sorry.
but, yeah, a lil bit tiptoeing, a lil bit Live Audio Concert, but at least i can sing along, moving and breathing in peace.
and i can take a couple of pic, but it was too far away, so.. i take what i can get.

and on our way home, we stopped to take a couple of pic.

i don't know what to say for this concert, but for 22k, guess i can't expect much.
Our Last Night sing these songs (not in consecutive order, i forgot, haha)

• Same Old War
• Reason to Love
• Dark Storms
• Age of Ignorance
• Home (new song)
• Liberate Me
• Fate
• I've Never Felt This Way
• Dark Horse (cover song)
• Skyfall (cover song)
• Sunrise

they're awesome! but my love still goes to Mas Taka and Friends. they're unbeatable. haha.
oh by the way,, thank you to my best friend for accompanying me!! you are the best! :D

hope there'll be One Ok Rock concert for the 35xxxv album in Jakarta. please God, make it happen. pretty please? Aamiinn.

2nd Trip - First Step Out There

Hm.
well actually it's a totally late post, but let's make the best of it.
one of the reason why i write about this trip is that so i don't have to worry if the pics somehow got deleted. haha.

so, Alhamdulillah i was given the chance to take a step 'out there'.
i used to have a dream to go overseas. one thing that doesn't change is i'd like to go Hajj. but there was also my dream to visit England (mostly because of Westlife), then change into Austria (because i have an e-pal there), and nowadays it change to Japan (totally because my endless love to One Ok Rock and Tony Tony Chopper).

but at that moment it was a mere dream. i don't know when, i don't know how, and i can't even imagine myself to be there. it's just that i want to go there, but i don't have enough confidence in me that i actually will go there.

so, when this opportunity comes up, i grab it. fast. it comes with a price of course,, but i gain a lot.

it was in late November, 2014. my first step out there was.. Singapore.
that was also my first time buying foreign currency, and it was actually nothing, but my heart was thumping like crazy. i didn't spend a lot there, but i chose not to trade back the money i have left. well, just in case if i happen to go there again. haha

it was a long time ago, so i forgot all the details, and since the trip was taken care by other people in my group, so i was just going along with the flow.
i didn't do any research before hand, where to go, or what to buy. so practically, i was there just for sightseeing. and having fun. and taking picture. pictures. :D

we start from Batam, and we cross over the border using ferry. :D
In Singapore we stopped at some places; the Merlion Park, Singapore Botanic Garden, the front of Universal Studios, and Bugis Street.
so here are some of the photos.

waiting for our ferry in Sekupang Ferry Terminal

Mitaaa!! Mita yoo!!

Arrival Gate! that feeling when showing your passport for the first time,,,
i guess i pass the port! > o <

Near the Merlion Park. or is it already a part of Merlion Park? haha

mm.. i don't really know what i was doing. lol

Waiting for the ferry to go back

and my favorite pic of that day:

that's me. screaming "Yattaaaa!!!" as loud as i can. in my heart. (>o<)

so.
that's all.
and now, i'm trying to build my dream anew. now, with a self confidence in it. Bismillah.
Aaamiiiin..
