bsb concert reunion

actually, I have no idea when this group would be coming to msia.. on monday, as usual with monday blues.. and with non-working mc staff.. I'm totally swamped with work... apparently my friend called a few times, moi with no avail.. then received email from her, and persuaded moi to go with her.. I said I don't know.. I'm too busy with work.. I called her crazy for wanted to go to that concert.. then, she replied I'm the one who crazy with work.. yeahh.. she was right on that one.. I didn't take it personally though... then, I asked what about your husband?.. knowing him who is not really into this boy band.. I still asked anyway.. but he's more into n'ysnc than bsb.. sorry min.. aku kutuk kau! benda betol pon kan? Kau kan suka JT.. hahaha.. so, that was a big NO.. he wasn't going.. then, rina and one of farid's colleague wanted to join.. as for moi, I'm still undecided at that point.. farid said 'come on la.. this is like our reunion with bsb after 10 years we'd been to their's concert back in st louis'.. that's very true and makes me thinking.. fine!.. point well taken.. what the heck.. since I've been working like crazy.. and no play at all.. I do kind of needed a break anyway.. at last farid, moi, rina and rina's sister were the final pack to go..

for moi, the almost one hour concert was compact, energetic and entertaining.. they called it beach party with bsb.. maybe because of the venue at sunw@y surf be@ch.. I knew it from the poster after the concert.. the only flaw was sound system.. as usual.. and the waiting.. haishh.. we'd all saying that 'bsb ni janji melayu'.. cos time stated on the ticket was 8pm.. we'd waited until almost 9.30pm.. finally, moi got a glimpse of AJ, howie, nick and brian came out wearing like boxer's robe.. did dancing and boxing move a bit.. they started with a few new songs which we didn't really familiar with.. so we just went along with the music.. ada terselit sikit 'larger than life'.. but it was just for a couple of lines.. after some time, they pumped it up with the oldies hits.. haa, baru la tau.. baru laa familiar.. as long as you love me, show me the meaning, backstreet back etc.. moi sucks at remembering the song title.. tapi bila nyanyi memang I know.. sorry la yer kawan2.. hahakss.. in between, each of them performed their's solo.. AJ and nick sang some kind of rock song.. brian and howie, sang somewhat similar to what they always sing in the group.. the last song they sang was 'shape of my heart'.. after our's 'we want more!.. we want more!' magic chanting.. as for the pictures, battery went dead earlier before long the concert last.. not so many captured.. I did meant to capture for all kind of wardrobe they'd wear.. they'd changed 3 times.. and surprisingly it didn't really took long at all.. first, they wore full suit of black leather.. secondly, changed to grey tux.. thirdly, colorful tshirts.. then, for the final song, they put on like batik/hawaiian shirt over the tshirts they wore before that..

the scariest experience ever after the concert.. in order to access upper parking level we had to go through a series of escalators.. I think that's the only and obvious way.. because I don't see any other way if let's say I wanted to go to the 3rd or 4th floor parking level.. unless they open up the backstage area.. or we go back inside the mall which was kind of complicated.. I'd never been to this beach area, so I don't really know.. imagine stream of people on 1st escalator.. that escalator was supported by small connecting space to continue to the next escalator.. what happened to the 2nd escalator was that it suddenly stop moving.. so, this bunch of people were standing still and waited until it moving again.. but the problem was that the 1st escalator below was still moving continuously and sending more people to that small connecting area.. and had caused a frantic over there.. it was like they had pushing toward each other.. but truly, it was not the case.. so upon seeing that, moi and farid, kept on walking, passed through a few of standing still people.. even though that escalator was stop dead right there and then.. the problem was management who handling the flow.. I don't know if it was really a technical issue.. or a person handling the escalator was non-expert on how to operate.. they seemed kind of clueless.. if you wanted people to climb the stairs by stopping the escalator, just put it to stop altogether.. another horrific moment, the 4th escalator went down instead of went up.. it was sending people down and clashed with the people who were sending up by the 3rd escalator.. so they kind of collided on that small foyer.. can you imagine how scary that was?.. I was imagining what if I'm the one who fall and got stampede by all those already panicking people? phieww.. that was really close call.. luckily, moi and farid, reached upper level safely.. we didn't even looked down.. we kept on going and climbing the escalator even though it was at stationary.. rina and her sister, were also lucky cos they had waited a bit longer rather than took that 3rd and 4th escalators.. otherwise, they'd be among who fall down when the escalator changed its direction..

despite the scariest ordeals after the concert.. despite neck and leg aches due to long stretched of all our limbs to catch glimpse of the real life of backstreet boys performance.. we had so much fun.. 10 years ago we were at their's concert in Busch Stadium.. we were so farthest away up on the upper level of the stadium.. last wednesday night, we could at least see and wave them all in person.. not boys but a very macho manly guys to ogle at indeed.. haha.. it was such a lost that Kevin was no longer with the group.. at least, we felt younger by 10 years.. and we love ya all!
