First ever Digi Music Live in Malaysia featuring The All American Rejects!

  • Ok as promised, the AAR concert post.. This is gonna be a long, LONG post so get ready for it.. =) On the 31st of October, which was Halloween, we AAR fans were ecstatic and jumpy not to mention hyper, because on that exact day, they were set to blow fans away at Digi Music Live after postponing their concert which was originally on 10th October.. So at bout 9 plus,Kristine, Flora and I headed to Pavilion for their Meet The Fans session.. Met Jackie, Jeremy and Bryan there.. And siao siao people lk me bought 4 albums k.. (ehh I buy for ppl wan u think I too rich ka?).. We all stalked them while they were leaving, trying to get their pics.. Guards all damn annoying la, we stand everywhere they scold.. haha..
  • AAR getting ready for the autograph session.. From left, Tyson, Chris, Nick and Mike..

  • Nick going off with Starbucks in hand..
  • Chris and Mike.. Mike was smiling the whole way while walking.. =)
  • Front-man Tyson who took so long to go out cuz he was walking round the fountain =.=
  • Very excited la k, let them sign da Cds all and poster.. But my poor emo buddy numero uno, Kristine was damn unlucky.. Stupid Digi staff din handle the things smoothly and as a result, gave her poster and Cd cover to someone else.. Everything hilang k!! Pity her..
  • You see the emo faces!! =( so poor thing..
  • But got some form of consolation la at least.. We headed to Niko Hotel to try to sneak into the Press Conference but to no avail.. Ended up camwhoring instead.. But but, while we were bout to leave for lunch, guess who we spotted at the lobby!! Yes you've guessed right! The All American Rejects themselves.. But sadly, Tyson was not with them.. Still, I'm not complaining, I got to camwhore with the other 3, namely Chris, Nick and Mike.. Mike damn nice k.. During Meet The Fans Session, da Digi lady say per person they oni sign 1 Cd cover.. But I had 4!! I beg and beg, she insist oni can sign 1.. Den Mike was lk "I'll do one more for you ok?" So sweet kan!! =)
  • Godsisters.. =) *loves*
  • Mirror group pic! From left, TianChad, Flora, me, Kris, Jeremy and Bryan..
  • Random wtf!! haha.. I dun even know what expression I doing..
  • We LOVE our shoes.. Starting from the white white shoes clockwise.. Bryan, TianChad, Jeremy, Flora, me and Kris..
  • Natalie from Hitz with Flora and me..
  • Mike!! He's so adorable la, not to mention nice.. =)
  • Nick, who looks a bit shy.. awww..
  • Chris the drummer with Kris, Flora, Jeremy and me..
  • Anyways, after that, Kris, Flora, Jeremy and I headed off to lunch.. And we arrived in Bukit Jalil at 3.30pm.. Yes I know so freaking early, but we're not as bad as the hardcore fans k.. They were lining up at the stadium since 8am.. One of them was my ex-high sch friend.. Naziera.. lol.. Small world huh.. Haven't seen her in a year.. (Did not manage to take pic with her, so sad.. ) But anyway, here's what happened in the car..
  • In case you slow and don't know what's happening, that's Kristine painting someone's nail.. Who, you ask? Well it's not me, and it's not Flora.. *hint : it's a guy!* lol..
  • Unfortunately, we all kinda got pissed la once we were there.. That's cuz the organising sucked big time.. I heard Marctensia was in charge right? Well let me tell you this.. They need to learn how to brief their team members properly, and also how to give proper instructions.. Damn annoying la k.. We were told we could enter the VIP entrance, cuz we got our passes from Hitz.. So we did not get in line at the Public entrance.. Then those people told us those with Hitz passes still have to get in line at Public entrance.. Cuz we're not Digi VIP ours is different.. WTF right.. VIP means VIP la.. We checked with someone else again, he said we can use VIP entrance pulak.. And so we walked back and forth like useless, lifeless buggers, and it's tiring k!! The entrances were so far apart.. And so all I can say to Marctensia and the organisers in charge, go and learn how to organise things properly, maybe take up event management courses, den only take up the challenge of organising something so big la.. Don't go pissing people off left and right cuz you're so daft.. Grrrr..
  • Ok now that my ranting part is done, let's continue.. =) sorry for the outburst by the way.. So before the drama happened, Kris, Flora, Jeremy and I were actually lepak-ing inside the area when it was not opened to public yet.. haha..
  • Ya we berlagak la we VIP.. hahaha..
  • Then we were lining up (They insisted we go in through Public Entrance but they let us stand in front), a few of the other bloggers came..
  • Crew setting up the stage..
  • We squeezed and sardined our way in when the gates were opened.. I dun wanna blab on unnecessary waiting time.. So straight to the concert.. First up on stage was Disagree.. They were quite good.. Loved the drum band they brought in during one of the songs..
  • Disagree doing their thing..
  • Up next was Pop Shuvit.. I went a little crazy during their performance cuz they were SO good.. I loved "Oh Sizuka" (Thanks Nigel for intro-ing that song to me) and Mara Bahaya was the bomb..
  • Rain effects on Pop Shuvit.. hahaha..
  • The final local band to take the stage was One Buck Shot, but their lead singer was sick in the hospital, so they had a little bit of help from Bunkface's lead singer Sam, Love Me Butch's lead singer Syarul Reza, Estrella's lead singer Liyana and one more guy whose band's name I cannot recall at all.. LOL...
  • Sam from Bunkface rocking it out with One Buck Shot..
  • Liyana from Estrella..
  • After that we were all so excited cuz it was The All American Reject's turn to take the stage.. But they took so long, we got bored and started camwhoring.. Again.. haha..
  • The party, pa-party people!!
  • Sunday and Wednesday.. =)
  • And then they were out!! The All American Rejects!! Their opening was freakingly awesome cuz they had me shocked as I din expect them to start.. They pulled da cloth off the drumset and Chris immediately started one of the most well-known beats ever, Move Along.. They were awesome that night, as usual.. Tyson was in a cute Red Indian headdress in conjunction with Halloween.. They sang their well-known infectious songs like Move Along, Dirty Little Secret, Swing Swing, It Ends Tonight, I Wanna and Gives You Hell.. There were also quite a number of songs from their new album like Mona Lisa, The Wind Blows, Fallin' Apart, Real World and Damn Girl..
  • The eccentric and always entertaining Tyson Ritter..
  • Mike Kennerty!! He's my fav from the band!! =)
  • Slowing it down for Mona Lisa..
  • Once it ended, it was chaotic cuz phone lines were down, and I had no way of contacting my brother.. Thank God he found me together with the whole gang of bloggers.. =) Guess we were a big enough group for him to notice.. After that was supposed to go Meet and Greet session, but my feet were hurting, I was tired PLUS I already saw them that morning so what's the point right? Gave my pass to Sam instead.. haha.. Once they were all done, headed to Steven's Corner for yumcha session with the bloggers.. A lot la k, I cannot remember all of them.. And then at bout 12 plus, we left and headed home!! And that concludes my post.. =) Oh wait 1 final picture.. Finally got to take a pic with Amanda, girl who has my name.. haha..
