Saturday High Fever

*Wednesday, 15th August 2007*

Sensei sms-ed me last week, asking whether I'm coming back to Ipoh on Saturday. I told her yes and she said she got 8TV Summer Live Concert ticket for me. Yippie!

Upon my arrival in Ipoh on Friday night, posters and banners about the concert can be seen almost everywhere, from lamp posts to shopping complex and parking bays.

We decided to go earlier, afraid that there will be a mass jam and difficulties to find parking space around the Padang Ipoh area but because of me, we arrived there 15 minutes before the event started. :P

Although it's scheduled to start at 8.30pm, but we had to wait till the Maghrib praying session over... that's 8.50pm. *speechless*
While waiting, the hosts and dancers entertained the crowds with Macarena dance, it was a dance party concert after all.

I absolutely have no regret for attending the event eventhough the weather in Ipoh is freakingly warm (just like summer!). George Lam and Sandy Lam's voices were marvelous despite their age. Both the twins of 2moro were so cute but I like the younger brother more :P

Younger brother is the left one!

Other performers on the list include Gary Chaw, Danny Wan Li Ming, Wing Yi, Malaysian Idol champion, Daniel Lee, The Cross from Korea and etc.. And the audience gone crazy when JJ Lin and FIR made their way on the stage, especially youngsters. Everyone were jumping, yelling and sang along with their favourite artistes.

It's good that such big event took place in Ipoh as Ipoh is truly a boring and quiet place. And the event somehow, changed my perception on live shows. You don't need to be a fan of any of the artiste to watch it. It's the experience, performance and company that counts.
