when we were in Cheer Chen’s 陳綺貞
concert earlier on at Singapore
the ad was one of the concert preview
running on the LCD screen
before the show
oh man that was in Feb
time really flies, isn’t it
I haven’t even found the
right time to blog about the concert
Mag wanted to go
but that’s for Singapore
we agreed on the strategy
no.. she taught me
because she watches more concerts
than I do
whenever there are choices
between Kuala Lumpur and Singapore
go for the former
well.. simply because the crowd
and the atmosphere is more uplifting
in Mandarin we borrow the term
they are basically more “high”
the Singapore show took place in June
nothing has been heard about KL
and we are both kinda busy somehow
no specific concert-outing
had been planned thus far
until last week whereby
I saw the press release in paper
“oh woohoo
Mag, let’s go”
“alright.. deal”
that’s how easy we get thing running
between me and Mag
nothing complicated at all
we are not exactly big time fan
but still if you have been an
avid fan of Mandopop
there's no way you wouldn’t have
fallen in love with at least
one of the songs
sung / composed / written by him
as written on the copy:
“everyone has a song of his
in his/her heart”
*I’m not bragging*
concert is like the bridge
which usually brings us together
for meet-up since
we it’s kinda difficult to plan for
traveling together for the time being
so why not?
we kinda agree to go for the
most affordable one since
both are pretty financially tight and
erm.. this is not
Eddie Peng’s meet and greet
we are therefore fine with
being seated on the “hill”
“fans on top of the hill”
as what Hongkies label those
on the furthest seats at
a concert in HK Coliseum (Hung Hum)
the ticket went on sale
yesterday at 9:00 a.m.
I logged in at 8:45 waiting
to find that it was postponed to 11
and I went on to get busy
until 10:50 am
was suddenly called for
a meeting at 11
you can imagine
that’s the only thing
I thought of during the meeting
no.. 80% most probably
20% was still still running
on the business plan discussed
managed to log in
after 11:45 to find that
craps… for real
the PS3 ticket has been sold off
well.. as you can see
they have very little
PS3 ticket for sale
just the two small boxes in purple
inflation in disguise huh?
so I called Mag up
we upgrade to PS2, is that alright
okay, let’s go
and I manage to lock down
two tickets at the strategic zone L6,
which is the small little box
next to VIP (R)
imagine you are paying
the same price for zone L6 and L16
well.. that’s why early bird
always gains the upper hand
would like to mention that
ticket is generated on
random basic
you get to choose the zone
but not the specific seats
therefore seat plan reading is
something to be mastered in
buying concert ticket
speaking of that
I almost forget to mention
there’s a 15% discount for
the first 1000th tickets too
ticket scouted
what’s next?
payment time
I tried to swipe twice
with my main debit card
without success
I was kinda worried
what if they have credited the amount
yet the system somehow screwed up
and tickets were not issued
since I have tried twice
I will end up with 4 tickets
forgive me of being so suspicious
I have had such experience with MAS
so I logged into
my bank account and check
holy craps..
the transaction failed
simply because I don’t
have enough balance in my account
that’s how poor I am
time was running out
since the specific tickets
were put on hold
for a period of 15 minutes only
so I asked my brother to try his
without success too
it was saying that
his cell phone number
was not verified with Visa
oh shoot!!!
so I turned to my Batman Visa
which doesn’t have enough balance
in there as well
and ended up
doing a transfer from
my “childhood emergency account”
which is without ATM and Visa
but too bad online banking is
automatically available
thank goodness
the transfer was instant
since both my “emergency” and Batman
are under the same bank
if you are asking
how many bank accounts am I keeping?
currently active one are 3
and some other inactive accounts
(I have actually started to
list down the accounts
which is quite irrelevant to this post
let’s save it in Word format and
blog about it some other time)
in short,
from one account of insufficient balance
to my brother’s account which
is not Visa-verified
to my 3rd account which is
without enough balance too
to my 4th emergency account transfer
I finally managed to buy the ticket
that’s the fun part of concert going
just my luck
I will always bump into
some funny adventures, somehow
whenever we are going for concerts
from chasing the last train
or even cable car to
bumping into pervert to
overnight stay at breakfast n’ bed
or the lobby of hotel to
smuggling umbrella which is banned to
watching outdoor concert in rain
that’s all the fun part of it
isn’t it
and we will soon start planning
what to eat for lunch
where to stay after the concert and
hang out whole night
having pillow talk
pillow talk is not
the right thing for us
because I would end up
sleeping once I hit the pillow
and that’s too girlish
that was the night
after Eason’s Life concert
whereby me and Mag sat there
at the lodge of our hostel
talking until 4 in the morning
and I was wide awake again by 6am
so this is for real
the PS3 a.k.a. the cheapest one
is sold off in half an hour
well done!!
I sincerely hope that
those who fail to grab one
like me will choose to upgrade
instead of giving up the concert
cheers 1129
marked down
and I hope by then
Eddie Peng’s Rise of Legend
would have hit the theatre already
and we shall go for our very first
Eddie Peng’s movie together
