MAROON 5 LIVE IN SINGAPORE WAS AMAZINGGGGGGG.

Seriously. Didn't expect to be so on during their concert. They played all of my favourite songs of theirs including some other amazing songs. I jus wish they would have played 'Goodnight Goodnight' from It wont'e be soon before Long album. But nevertheless, I had the time of my life. The only drawback was the fact that my camera was effed up and refused to take pictures. Hence, all my pictures were like sorta blurred or shaky. So I couldn't use my zoom feature to magnify the gorgeous and oh-so-hot Adam Levine. Nevertheless..it was AMAZING.

Cabbed to the Singapore Indoor Stadium and met Shalini there. Then we walked in. We saw huge crowds streaming in. Some were still queueing to buy tickets. Last minute decisions probably. Anyway..we walked in and we spent a good 10 minutes searching for our seats cause we enterred via the wrong entrance D: Was supposed to enter via East entrance but we enterred via North entrance. We saw the merchandise on display for a while. Then went inside and sat down and were discussing about how they were gonna perform or which songs they were gonna perform. I was sooooo uber excited. I couldn't contain myself. It was like butterflies fluttering round my stomach. I COULD NOT WAIT. WHERE WAS MY ADAM LEVINE? AHAHHA/

It was supposed to start at 8pm but oh wells, as usual it got delayed and only started at about 8:20pm. When they were setting up the stage, we kept looking at the corners of the stage hoping to see one of the band members before they made their actual, eventual appearance. But we couldn't ): And they set up Adam's mike. And were like gushing and getting so enthusiastic saying, 'OMG THAT'S ADAM'S MIKE. OMFG, ADAM LEVINE IS GONNA STAND THERE AND SING.' Sounds stupid, I know. We were like a pair of kids so excited. AHHAHA, we couldn't help it. AND FINALLY. YES. THE STADIUM BLACKED OUT. WE STARTED SCREAMING. Like anything. AT THE TOP OF OUR VOICES. Everyone did. We wanted to run to the front of the stage but oh wells, we had our bags with us and the thought of leaving it unattended to was...erm..not a good idea. The band members started coming on. And the spotlight was on centre stage where ADAM LEVINE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE. We started screaming,'ADAM. ADAM. ADAM' and yes he finally came on! OMG ADAM LEVINE IN FRONT OF MY EYES. Can't be happening, but yes it was. I couldn't believe it. The feeling was so overwhelming. So amazing. I can't pick the right words to describe it. I was ecstatic! HAHAHA. Even that wouldn't suffice. And they started playing their opening song, 'Misery', from their latest album, Hands all Over. I won't complain too much about my seat. Well yes, it wasn't in a place where the band was soo close to me. But close enough to see them and see Adam's facial expressions and what not. I was contended. More than jus :D

I have to say all of them performed really well. Inevitably, spotlight was on Adam. But the others had their moments and they played an amazing gig. The guitar solos were amazing and Adam raised his guitar to the top of his head and played. James Valentine's guitar solos were to DIE FOR. EARGASMIC OKAY. It was super loud but super good. And I didn't expect that cause M5 is more of a funky-pop kinda band. Not really rock. But they performed really well with their guitar solos and even extended some of their guitar solos from hits like 'Shiver' and 'Harder to breathe' and made amazing melodies with them. IT WAS SO GOOD. HOW DID HE STRUM THE GUITAR SO WELL AND HIT THOSE NOTES?? How on earth did he do that so quickly?? And Matt Flynn's drumming..OMG...DISGUSTINGLY GOOD. How did the hit the drums so fast? And he seemed to be doing it sooo efforlessly throughout the concert. Even when he had his solo moment where Adam was introducing all the band members and letting them strum or play their instruments to the audience's awe. AMAZING (over-usage of this word in this post sorry)

And I thought Adam was a great performer. He covered all areas of the stage and never at point concentrated his energy and singing towards one portion of the crowd. So in other words, everyone could enjoy every single second of the concert :D My favourite performance was 'She will be loved.' He divided the crowd into two and made us sing some of the verses simultaneously, like how its sung in the actual song in the album version. And I loved the moment where an amber spotlight was on Adam Levine and only him and he sang some of the verses. WOAH MY HEART JUS MELTED.

And 'Makes me Wonder' was one of the most pumped up performances of the evening. Seriously. Everyone was literally SCREAMING the lyics. I could hear the guy behind me screaming the lyrics so loudly that it was apparent that his voice was cracking..or worse. LOL. AND AND..Adam walked over to my side of the stage and pointed in my direction and sang a few lines. I CHOOSE TO BELIEVE HE POINTED AT ME. Pretentious, I know..but anyone in my situation would have done the same. So whatever. And it pretty much made my night. They ended their night with 'This Love' and 'Sunday Morning' being the last song.

It was a fantabulous night. I pretty much jumped up and down before they started singing every song. And I was so glad to have heard them play all of my favourite songs. Cabbed home with Shalini. And we were talking about how tight Adam's skinnies were. ahahahah. Nevertheless, he is freaking hawt okay! And reached home..showed my mum some of my fugly pictures and she was like,'Actually the guy wearing the white Tshirt (Adam Levine) is quite good looking.' AWW. WE HAVE SIMILAR TASTE, MUMMY!

And I went online to youtube some of M5's songs. And I crashed at 3am. Took half day from work and went to work past noon. And when I had woken up, I had pretty much lost my voice. ahahha. I think I sounded like a guy. And Celine said I sounded as if my voice was cracking D:

Nevertheless, it was all worth it. Worth every dollar of the 185 bucks I paid.

Songs they played from

Songs About Jane:

This Love, Harder to Breathe, She will be Loved, The Sun, Shiver, Sunday Morning, Secret

It Won't be soon Before Long:

Makes me Wonder, Wake Up Call, If I Never See your Face Again, Won't Go Home Without You

Hands All Over:

Misery, Never Gonna Leave this Bed, Stutter, Give a Little More, Hands all Over

Oh and this one..

'Females are amazing people. And we as men, are obsessed over you. So obsessed that we write songs about you, name albums after you. This song is for all you pretty, sexy ladies out there' and he sang 'She will be Loved'. And I died.

I LOVE ADAM LEVINE.

Okay BBQ today was amazing. ahahah had an eventful week. And now, I'm gonna crash.

Victoria Concordia Crescit,

1. Erm..I jus used to randomly watch matches..And I chose Arsenal cause I guess there was smthg about them that jus intrigued me and drew me in.

2. HAHHA MANY!

I guess AC Milan 0-2 Arsenal or Real Madrid 0-1 Arsenal or...Man United 0-1 Arsenal (and they won the league at Old Trafford!)

3. Liverpool 4-2 Arsenal and it was the end of the Champions League dream in a season full of promises.

4. Skills: Bergkamp Looks: Cesc

5. Cesc + Wilshere

6. ASHLEY COLE. Need I say why? He freaking betrayed his club..and his wife.

18. I have a couple. But I prefer to keep them to myself ;D

19. 1. Amazing football. 2. The togetherness/brotherhood you feel when you are part of this club. 3. VICTORIA CONCORDIA CRESCIT.

20. Not really things that I happy..but I think its jus some of those things that pisses you off. 1. Screw things up further when things are already effed up. 2. Instability at times. 3. Play beautiful football but fail to get the job done.

21. Ibrahim Afellay..Stekelenburg..David Villa..Hatem Ben Arfa..Yoann Gourcuff..

27. AGAINST ARSENAL: THAT 'AMAZING REF SHOW IN THE MATCH AGAINST BARCA AT THE NOU CAMP.

28. AHHHAHA I GUESS. But the team needs more consistency and for RVP to be less injury prone.

29. YEAP. Espana and Les Bleus :D

30. Victory through fucking harmony. Okay that doesn't reall answer the question. I can't really answer it...as in..you don't choose which club to fall in love with and support..you jus do. And thats what happened to me ;D

I feel blessed to have such amazing family members and sometimes I don't feel like I deserve their love and support..but thats one of the things that is keeping me going right now. I love them to death. My pillar of support. Thanks for saying amazing things even though I don't quite deserve them :P

Went on a shopping spree with TR yesterday. And I took a picture with this HUGE and SUPER CUTE mascot where they were raising money for stray dogs ;D

And it was a fin afternoon+evening. Despite fact that we pretty much walked through the whole of Orchard Road and were spent by the time we were at Someset 313 by 7pm ish..it was worth it and was veryyy fun ;D

I shall look forward to TLK Musical this Wednesday with Celine ;D

I CAN'T WAIT.

And I can't wait for my Lepak Day with Perkyyyy!

I remember laughing my ass off after looking at Freelance Whales' song titles with Gerald. LOL. THEY WERE ALL PHYSICS RELATED!

Regardless, this is an amazing song!

And I loveee my current playlist.

Damien Rice came to Singapore in 2005. OMFG. I was probably living under a rock and thats why I didn't even know that he had dropped by. PLEASE COME BACK.

I will definitely be in line to buy ticketsssss! <3

SWITCHFOOT IS COMING TO SGP THIS MONTH!

I hope I can make it for their showwwwww!

Oh wells. Let's seee!

And I hope Arsenal gets back on track tonight. Why is it that every single MAJOR loss has to be coupled with a series of draws before revival?

And no, its not even a revival. It's more like..uh..too late by then?

Shit. I hope it won't be this time round. It's really sickening to have your hopes up high so much during the course of the season only to see them get dashed come February-April. SADFACE. WTH.

Nevermind, 2 games in hand compared to M-fucking-U. So the point difference is REALLY too flattering for the Mancs. Revival starts tonight.

Victoria Concordia Crescit,

So excuse my ranting.

Anyway, yay! India won the World Cup! It was a freaking amazing match..and there were times where I really thought there was no way for them to win. Went over to Jo's place to catch the match...and ate junk food like a pig. I watched till Sehwag got out..and then I went back home..and started watching How I Met Your Mother. See..the perfect remedy when you are so down is Barney Stinson. But obviously, ten minutes into the episode..I was thinking 'Maybe Tendulkar and Gambir are helping India.' I don't wanna be missing out if its gonna turn out to be an emphatic victory even after a shaky start. But what the hell..Tendulkar was out. 30/2. WTH. And I thought to myself..'No Hope..Seriously'. Ofcourse I didn't wanna believe in that..but practically thinking, it made sense. I mean..without a solid start how are you gonna continue building and chase a high score like 275 in freaking 50 overs? It's like not being able to build a building without a proper foundation (Okay bad analogy, but I think you get my point). But whatever..I decided to stop HIMYM and I started to watch the match via online live streaming. Okay, wth. It's still my country. Don't blame me for the attachment and urge I felt to watch the match despite my head telling me that they are gonna loose but my heart telling me otherwise. But anyway..no regrets ;D Amazing partnership between Captain Dhoni and Gambir..and kinda sad that the latter didn't get his century. He was 3 short of an emphatic century..even if it might not have been as formidable as the one from Jayawardene..but still..its a century..and it still stands as a remarkable achievement. And amazing shot from Dhoni to win it. I mean..a freaking SIX..straight to the crowd..more like saying 'This for you, my fellow La Indianos' ;D But anyway..great win..amazing game. And I will take it all ;D I almost had to forgo watching the Arsenal match to continue watching the World Cup final..but anyway..I kinda did both towards the end. But stupid online live streaming..FREAKING ANNOYING. Especially when it hangs and jus remains like that for God knows how long. But anyway..very good fight from Sri Lanka..but ofcourse..the better side won and I don't think anyone can deny that. ;D

Anyway...I am starting to feel more and more let down. Psychological problem? I don't know.

Sucks. Not good enough for anything. Makes me feel like I am a vulnerable kid with low self esteem like Brooke Davis. Sucks.

No I am not gonna wallow in self pity because of my any of my past failures or mistakes..even if I have constant reminders of them around me. It's simply not worth it. Yesterday, I learnt something. Dhoni..okay he is not my idol or anything..but I thought this was thought provoking in some way. Anyway, back to Dhoni. He picked Sreesanth over Ashwin for the game (which I TOTALLY disapproved of)..and let Yuvraj play at numero 6 even though he is an in-form player. And at some points in the game, obviously his decisions were criticised by the media and people alike..obviously because the decisions didn't seem to giving the positive results at that point of time. But anyway, he pushed on and I mean..he kinda proved himself? And also even though his batting statistics haven't been anything great throughout the tournament..he proved his worth and ability by smashing a 91 not out from a mere 70+ balls (WOAH!)

Okay..what I (think I) can learn is..if you believe in something hard enough..don't let anyone stop you from believing in it. I think I have learnt that from Arsenal a million times. Sometimes I feel like their situation in the league or somewhat mirrors mine real life feelings and emotions..yes, sounds weird..but trust me its scarily true at times. If you have passion for something and you love and believe in something..don't let other people's comments hurt you or bring you down. Jus don't let it get to you.

It's hard to make yourself so immune to criticisms or things of that sort. Don't give a fuck about what they think of you. You are what you are and you know it. Show that to them..no point telling cause actions speak louder than words.

Sucks.

You are really making me hate you by saying such mean things and bringing me down. Can't you jus get over yourself and accept me for who I am? I am tired of trying to do things jus to make you happy. Why can't you jus let ME be HAPPY for once and let me do what I want and let me be me?

I don't wanna say it cause it will be selfish of me to..but I am only feeling frustration and mere hatred towards you now..and I am trying to control myself by not saying anything cause when you are angry your tongue works faster than your brain. Please..don't push me further.

And besides..'If you can't handle me at my worst, you certainly don't deserve my best.' Like Marilyn Monroe said.

THEY PLAYED 23 AND PAIN!!! My favourite songs from JEW ): I should have gone! I feel like giving up my Maroon 5 tickets for JEW..but ask me again 2 weeks later and I would probably say no. Nevermind..I shall look forward to Maroon 5. and ofcourse..ADAM LEVINE.

And on a brighter note..SWITCHFOOT IS COMING TO SINGAPORE. AND SO IS LINKIN PARK AND THE SCRIPT.

Why can't Avenged Sevenfold come back to Singapore ):

And I am going to book tickets for The Lion King Musical with Celine ;D Amazing movie. It was the movie of my childhood and I wouldn't be wrong to say that it changed my childhood. I can't even keep count of how many times I have watched the movie..sung along with their uber amazing soundtrack and cried so hard when Mufasa died. Yes, it is jus an animation film..but it evokes so much of emotions into you that it is not JUST a film. It has an amazing story and it deserves every single award that it received..be it for its amazing soundtrack by Elton John or the impeccable score composed by Hans Zimmer..or the extremely moving story written by the directors/writers..it is an amazing movie and is Disney's best movie ever (in my opinion at least). And yes, I rewatched it yesterday and watching Mufasa's death still brought tears to my eyes ):

So I can't wait to see how the musical would be. How would they show the gorge scene where Simba is chased by a herd of wildbeasts? How would they show the finale fight scene between Simba and Scar? So many questions..very high expectations and I am sure I would never feel like its not worth it. Because its Lion King and their musical has own NUMEROUS awards..and its the movie I love most..so I know I won't be disappointed.

OH I JUS CAN'T WAIT (TO BE KING)!

TIMON AND PUMBAAAA. AHAHAH THEY ARE SOOO AWESOME.

And ofcourse, I lovee Simba. He was soo cute when he was a cub ;D
