Faint by LINKIN PARK

*sniff sniff sniff* i'm down wit flu.. all bcos of.. (allow me..)
LINKIN PARK!!
bth.. still sniffing away.. kk i was at their concert yest... AT meaning.. i was at the location but not in the fenced up area.. was outside, sitting on the benches for those rugby spectators.. *AAHHH CHOO..* darn.. area's near the speakers so its POWERFUL EFFECT!~ well.. see no LP but hearing them is gd enuff.. cool man.. they rocks.. concert's scheduled to start at 8.. was there at 7.40 like dat wit yvonne + loads of munchies.. finished a box of pocky, some sushi, n 3 quarts of yoghurt which was forced down to my stomach..(i hate yoghurt..)speakers were playing songs by other bands whom i dunno.. audience were queing to get in.. n i think they circled quarter of the padang field.. ticket count was estimated at 15,000 by daniel ong.. jus imagine.. go multiply by 100 per tix.. (was 125 n 85.. avg.. 100) its 1.5 million.. gosh.. + i dun think its ex to book the padang.. stage not much stuff... they dun have fancy clothes.. only the system's ex n the huge screens.. gosh.. estimate operating costs at ard 0.5 million.. they earn abt 1 million!! woah..

8.30.. crowd was restless.. a grp from korea came on.. (the same grp dat did the opening for limp bizkit..) still trying to figure out their name.. guess it was PR or something.. they spoke wit a korean accent.. + very muffled + the echo.. well.. they did their gig for abt 40 min.. quite linkin park but cant even hear wat they singing.. screaming all round n muffled.. n best of all.. they got tired after the 1st song.. could hear them panting slightly.. then when the last song's on.. was wondering if they'll faint on stage.. they jus pant like they've ran a marathon or something.. finally its ending..

another 30 min of song playing from the speakers.. crowd's already cooled(they were nvr hot anyway..) LP din came on until 9.30.. oh man.. i was still guessing if they were having their dinner when the korean band was playing.. or someone's stuck in the loos.. the min they came on.. woah ho.. cool music.. rock rock.. the grp of malay gers behind us were going crazy.. stamping on the benchers.. me n yvonne were standing on the benchers.. pretty shaky.. could see no thing but the canvas.. ahahhhaha... there was one malay family whose kids could jus sing to the music.. oh man.. i couldnt.. i forgot most of the lyrics.. hahhhaa..

walked to the other side of the field.. had a better view but lose out on sound effects.. could see abt 3 quarts of the big screen + half of the stage.. sound's muffled everytime a bus passes by.. but i could see the guys!!! as in on tv lah.. woah ho.. the drummer.. rob.. jus look at the way he strikes his sticks on the drum set.. so cool! oh man.. crowd inside's abt 15,000.. outside.. guess its abt another 5000.. littered ard the road way, the other part of padang(the concert took up only half the field), supreme court (on the stairs, on the banister..) if there's a place where ppl could access, there's ppl.. accidents happen when there's crowd.. either there's a fight or someone fell from the heights.. i duno.. couldnt see the commotion.. only saw the police rushing over to the supreme courts n 2 ambulances parked outside..


LP Stage from across the rd..

heard LP churned out their hits like In The End, Somewhere I Belong, Breaking The Habit, Faint, etc etc.. yvonne was getting super high n i'm like, hahhhahah, the usual me, man re xing, followed the singing but wasnt as high as her, heez dats me.. they're cool.. really cool.. btw yvonne (in case u're reading..) LP's a 6 man band..(brad - guitar, rob - drums, mike shinoda - vocals + keys + guitar, chester - vocals, joe hahn (the korean) - dj + directing their MVs, Phoenix - bass) 5 published albums so far..(hybrid theory EP, hybrid theory, reanimation, meteora n live in texas) their record label's Warner Bros.. (reminds me of bugs bunny only) for more info.. Linkin Park Underground ahohohh..

kkz.. back to the beginning.. how i came to go to the concert.. wasnt intending to go in the first place.. no one accompany me in for the tix show too.. soo.. blahhhhhh.. (but heard dat mama n popo's in.. grr.. nvr jio me..) well.. anyway yvonne icq me in the afternoon asking if i wanna go listen from outside.. i was like.. ookk.. since nothing much to do oso.. ahhahhaha.. so dashed down straight after work n waited a while for her to finished her stuff.. the amplifier's so gd dat i could hear from westin.. cool man.. as we walked in search of a gd place to camp.. passed by the bloody long que n ppl camping at the roadside.. was dusty so we din wanna stay there.. walked a while more n ended up where we were for most of the evening.. hahaha...
