insane friday night



Hey all!!
What a tiring yet insane day I had yesterday!!!
It had a balance of both good and bad but overall..it was just really insane

So it started off with me being super sleep because though I slept at around 2 or 3am that morning, I had to get up for school at 6am because my team and I were doing this project for my school's module. (I've been super busy this entire week and probably will be next week as well)

So I reached school at 7.30am did this event/project till 8.30am just in time for breakfast and class which started at 9.15am.
My mind was totally not in class as all I was thinking was the concert I was going to go to...yes...I went to a concert..

Whos you may ask..
Its no other then...ONE OK ROCK!!!
Yes!!! They performed again last night!!!
So, i left school at 12am and met vernice, my OOR buddy before heading to harbourfront. We then bought our concert needs (water and snacks def.) before walking over to sentosa to queue for the concert.
I was quite happy because we managed to queue in the first section though we reached at 2pm however it was suppppeerrr hot!!! I honestly couldnt even stop sweating for over an hour...

I would probably write my concert experience at my other blog that is dedicated for OOR (http://mozsterztrans.blogspot.sg)
But omg I was so close to them!!! And I think (no I believe I did) made eye contact with taka and my fave drummer tomoya. I was soooooo happy and I honestly couldnt take my eyes of tomoya...like everyone was following where taka went but there I was just staring at tomoya like some starstruck girl...
But yes I jumped (tried), fistpumped and screamed like no tmrw.
I really had an insane time and I was never so upfront before so...
One Ok Rock keeps breaking all my 'firsts' when it comes to concerts....they were the first japanese concert I atteneded and now, they are the first band i ever stood so close to..

My favorite passionate drummer, Tomoya
i totally forgot about taking pictures until almost the near end 

I honestly had so much fun that I am currently suffering from post-concert syndrome..lolz.. I just wished that I met them though...like honestly, I want to just tell tomoya how insanely awesome is was at the drums, tell taka his screaming was just over the top, how sexy ryota was just coming onto stage shirtless and for how sleek toru was with his hair and guitar skills...Madness..

They said that they would come again, but here I am thinking if I would go again..and maybe I would..because now, I want to stand in the first row and I want to write to them messages too.

What's sad is that I had so much fun that I don't know how to write my review for the concert...it was supposed to be easy for me yet here I am struggling to put what I saw into words...le sigh...

Okay I guess that is all ^^

Cheers!!

Of my fave J-rock band. One Ok Rock




Hello World~~

So today,
apart from running around doing chores and go hunting for a new fridge
(cuz my dearest fridge has finally grew tired after 10years and started to break down)
I have finally watched One Ok Rock's Yokohama Arena Tour.
It was Freaking Amazing!!

Back story on how my love for One Ok Rock (OOR),
I came across them in 2008 or 2009 and loved their songs
after hearing 'Answer is Near'.
After all my buzz for them died because I didnt have anyone to spazz with then and i didnt own
a tumblr so eventually i started to loose track of their works.
However last year, i met this friend who loved all things Japanese and she told me OOR was coming to Singapore.
I thought well, why not go to their concert?
Its been a while since i last went for a rock concert and i used to like them plus their Japanese so i should go. And i went.

Some pictures I took at the amazing concert i went to

Ho-my-gosh was all i thought when i went for their live. It was friggin amazing.
Their songs were cool enough on records but LIVE they were mind-blowing.
annnndddd eventually i fell in love with the drummer (dont we all love drummers? No? well its just me i guess)
Taka,Toru,Ryota and Tomoya.
Their powerful performance and the fact that the venue was not that big made the live EVEN better.
Nobody would've understand how i felt until they went for their live and i really encourage you all to watch them live. If you cant DO listen to their songs then watch their live.

Left-Right: Tomoya(Dru), Ryota(Bas),Toru(Gui),Taka(Voc)

Some of my favorite songs from them is "Nobody's Home", "Answer is Near" and "Kaimu".
As i said...its just some..
However they recently released a new single and i like the track "Nothing Helps" from them as well.
That song by the way is in english so you can check it out :D

Back to Yokohama Arena Tour DVD.
 It was amazing because all their live performances was in it and there was a documentary to accompany it.
They are so grounded, funny, heartwarming and you know, they are just themselves.
You can see how the band is everything to them.
Because of them i scratched the idea of backpacking in Japan to just watching all the summer festivals in Japan.
 Hope that wish comes true cause i will need a lot of money and permission from my parents.
Haha. But i am determined to fulfill it after i graduate from Poly so yeapz.
Until then I am studying hard to read Japanese (cuz i can speak fluently but just last year started to learn to read and write Japanese..blame the fact that i had to learn chinese for 17 years)

Okay wow this post was long. Haha.
Sorry to have made you read so much but i really encourage you all to check out One Ok Rock if you havent heard them.

Rock On and Cheers.

[P.s the 2 videos below are my fave performances from them. Enjoy. Found ones with English Subs for you guys. ]
