TAEYANG RISE WORLD TOUR 2015 MALAYSIA

Long time no see! How have you all been? I've been really busy ever since school started and drama presentation coming up! Oh no! I have no time to write about my Korea trip yet but I have to find time to write about my amazing experience last night at Taeyang's concert no matter how busy I am!

7th February 2015

I woke up at 4am, showered, dressed up nicely and arrived at the stadium at 6am to meet up with my poor friends who had spent the night at the stadium! 

                                                      When I first arrived! 

We call ourselves the 'Pathetic 4' 狼狈4人组 hahaha. After about an hour there, I was already sweating and had to tie my hair up!

                                  What's better than getting photoboomed by 'Taeyang'? 

We waited there till the gates open and Phui Yee went in to collect our queue number.

Shirt, Denim shorts and Neon pink cardigan from H&M// Sneakers from Adidas// Sunnies from Cotton On// Bag from Bangkok

My outfit for yesterday! I wore neon pink on purpose because I bought the rock zone and wanted Taeyang to notice me so badly hahaha. I went for a more lighter colour for both my top and bottom so that my neon pink could stand out more. Of course, I wouldn't attend a concert without my favourite pair of sneakers! They're just so comfy for jumping around all night!

It looked a bit like Palm Springs to me haha. The weather was sunny as expected because Taeyang was here!

After collecting our tickets, we went to Berjaya Times Square to clean ourselves up and had brunch.

We came back at around 12.00 noon and spent the rest of our time there. 

A picture with Taeyang! Only if one day I could take picture with the real him. Sighs. I'm never lucky. Trust me when I say that hahaha. I have really bad luck.

                                                  Group photo with my friends!

We chatted with a few other VIPs, walk around and participated in a lucky draw from Kaching! Our time was well spent there! Phui Kay was lucky enough and won Taeyang's RISE album!! As I was behind her and she was the last one to draw for that draw slot time, I didn't get to do the lucky draw because I would need to wait for another hour! Talk about the luck there. I have the worst luck and that wasn't the first nor the second time. 

Finally! We were told to queue up according to our zone and number at 4.30pm! The crew members were quite young and plus some arrogant VIPs, we took 2 hours to queue up! Luckily Sky was in our zone or else I don't think we could even get in. :)

I have to say that IME PRODUCTIONS really improved a lot this time. I'm very impressed. We were seperated into a few groups within the same zone. The first 30 I think, entered the stadium first, then followed by another batch. Inside the stadium is filled with crew members blocking other zones and leading us to the right the way. And they kept reminding us not to run and follow the queue. That was professional. Thank you IME Productions! It was fair to everyone this time.

We got queue number 56-59 and was the second batch to enter! To our surprise, we managed to snag ourselves first row!! Most people went over to the extended stage so that's why we got the first row, I guess.

The stage was slightly taller than me but luckily I was able to see the whole stage clearly. I tried to reach and touch the stage and I did it hahahaha. But Taeyang didn't give us his hand. :( He was avoiding handshakes throughout the whole concert. I think he was respecting other races. Thank you for doing that, Taeyang. It was really respectful towards the other races. 

My friends and I made a point this time to enjoy the concert live without recording videos and taking pictures. I never regret the decision I made. Zero pictures and videos of Taeyang, all I get is the wonderful concert experience! Taeyang kept coming towards us four hahaha. I think we were one of the few who actually have zero phone and camera in hand.

I raised both my hands up, one with a light stick and danced around with Taeyang and the dancers hahaha. I finally got to see Kwon twins yay! I only saw Dony as he stood right in front of us while dancing! I couldn't find Deukie! :/ 

I'm probably one of the tallest person in my zone, and definitely the tallest in the perimeter surrounding me but I still tipped toe and put my hands up as high as I could. I think Taeyang noticed me! He stood right in front of me, like literally in front of me and sang 'Body'! He also pointed at me after moving a bit further from me hahaha. *hopeless fanfiction* hahaha but he did pointed at me lol.

Tbh I didn't really liked the studio version of Love you to death. I totally hear the song in a different way now after hearing him sing it live! His voice was amazing. The song is fantastic! 

I also loved how Taeyang danced to our super loud fan chants 'Dong Young Bae' and 'Taeyang'. Before the concert starts, before he talks, after he sang, he wasn't on stage... We chanted his name endlessly! And it was loud. Really loud. Go search for fancams if you don't believe! I can see that Taeyang was really happy last night. He even took off his ear piece to hear our fan chants clearly! Hahaha. 

Every song, we sang (or I should use the word screamed) at the top of our lungs and Taeyang was smiling the whole time when we sang!

I also loved how he made a song with ' I love you Malaysia', 'I miss you', 'Saya cinta kamu' and 'Saya rindu kamu'. He is just the funniest person on earth hahahaha. His high notes are too kill for too! 

Taeyang is more handsome in person than on screens and photos. I'm glad I got to enjoy the 'real him' than from the photos and videos. My dad said I did well for not taking pictures and videos of him as other people will post anyway. What for paying so much but busy taking photos? Thanks daddy for buying me this wonderful memory with Taeyang.

Taeyang said he had a surprise for us and asked us is it his shirt. We screamed thinking that he migr by chance take off his shirt? Hahaha. Then he asked is it his pants lol. We screamed louder lmao. Then he showed us his black underwear lol. He asked us if we wanted to see it. Everyone screamed so loud hahaha. Except for one girl at the rock zone R. Taeyang saw her shaking her head and then he mimiced her hahahaha. His face expression mimicing that girl was so funny! 

He kept coming back for encores. We sang Eyes, Nose, Lips the loudest together with Taeyang. Go search for a fancam and enjoy us VIPs singing beautifully to Eyes, Nose, Lips! I cried when I watched one. Taeyang's facial expression showed that he was really grateful and happy. 

Every song was beautifully sang. My favourite was Good Boy (he asked if we were okay to hear it without GD. Of course we said it's okay!!), Love you to death, I need a girl, Ringa Linga ( I went from screaming to totally raving to that song.), Stay with me (he brought 'GD' with him! I guess he just can't leave without his buddy.), This isn't it (my favourite song from the album. Waited so long for the live! And... I cried ㅎㅎ), and Eyes,Nose,Lips, Move, Throw away, Bad Boy, Fantastic Baby (raved again lmao.) and Body! There was Bad Boy and Good Boy. I cannot handle both bad and good 영배 오빠. 

Oh and Taeyang's really good in sweet talking ! Hahahahha! He kept saying he saw many beautiful people there last night from the beginning of the show, especially all the girls. Who didn't melt for that? I know I did hahaha. 

I loved how he was supposed to hide himself inside the 'evelator' to end the show but we kept calling him out again. Then, he sticked his head out and asked if we wanted more. And then he came out from his 'hiding spot' and sang a few more songs! 

He then introduced us to his band members. The guitarist, I think her name is Maddie, is it? She is sooooo beautiful! Hard to find such a beautiful and talented female guitarist! We followed Taeyang's lead and cheered for the band members! They looked really fun and enjoyed our cheer! 

                                                        Concert ended beautifully!

Ringa Linga was playing on the speakers when people started leaving and then a guy fron our L zone started dancing to Ringa Linga! He was so cool! We all screamed and cheered for him and then the upper zone saw and cheered for him too! He became the star of the night all of a sudden hahahaha. I had great fun cheering for him too!

My friends and I are now suffering from post-concert emotion. But I'm suffering the hardest now as I've been Taeyang's fan since the beginning of my journey as a VIP. I listened to his music through PMR days and those time that I felt down. Going to his concert is just one amazing opportunity. I didn't win sound check passes or meet and greet passes or got his cap and sneakers but 知足常乐. I'm happy enough that I get to see him. I appreciated everything he had done. I'm where I am today because of him. I wish to thank him personally one day, and that's why I'm learning and practicing my Korean language so hard.

This post-concert emotion I'm suffering from now is completely different from the previous TTAlive with 2NE1, Big Bang fan meeting and even my childhood idol Taylor Swift's concert! I cry every time now just by listening to his songs from my iPod. I miss him so badly that I don't want him to leave. 

My lungs is suffering from an ache because I really screamed over my limits. I was completely voiceless last night. I got my voice back but my chest still hurts. I can't eat, drink, laugh or talk too much or else my chest is really pain. Sighs. How should I do my drama presentation...

Anyway, I made up my mind that this will be my last concert till many many years later but I think I want to take it back now. I'll do my very best in trials and SPM, just to make my parents know that Big Bang means a lot to me. I have to see Taeyang again!

Till next time, Taeyang! 

오빠 다음에 말레이시아에서도 만납시다! 4년 기다릴 수 못 합니다! 빨리 돌아오세요!
