I feel like I ran a marathon yesterday
The closest my camera could zoom in because I dont know how to use the optimal setting for my LX3 during concerts! urgh
OK BASICALLY MY CAMERA DOES NOT DO ANY JUSTICE TO THE CONCERT BECAUSE IT WAS SO FUCKING AMAZING AND I LITERALLY FEEL LIKE I HAVE SCREAMED MY LUNGS OUT AND JUMPED SO MUCH LAST NIGHT THAT MY LEGS DON'T SEEM TO BELONG TO ME ANYMORE.
Only time you can ever see me being that crazy would definitely be during Mayday concerts. I know every single song and they are just so so so amazingly good live! Gee must totally be a Mayday convert by now, she was such good company last night, being very crazy together with me and together we were shouting and making silly fan girl noises throughout the whole night. LOL, it was wonderful. I cannot believe that it was their first ever concert in the UK and I actually made it! Just, I can never emphasise enough on the awesomeness of the band, but definitely one of the major motivation that keeps me going in my life! Last night, I used up all my energy and today, I am recharged by what was given to me last night.
Thank you to anyone who made this happen for me. Despite my cheapo seats, Gee and I ran towards the front once the concert started, because everyone did that, and we actually had quite a good view considering how much we actually paid for the tickets. It's just my camera, ok perhaps it's just me not really knowing how to use my camera. Though concerts are ALL about the experience that couldnt be captured on film though. I did record Monster's guitar solo and Masa's bass solo to show Will. Told him that I would want him to go with me for such a concert in the future, though I dont know if he will still consider if after seeing this:
One of the greatest Asian invasions I have ever seen in history.
But it's ok, surely if I get us good seats, going together with me is still a relatively good deal? I just feel like only by being in a Mayday concert can anyone actually understand why and how much I really like the band, it's so impossible to describe.
Before the concert, I gobbled down a bun and some chinese rice snack thing which I found in Chinatown. Well, energy for not actually dying during the concert of course. That was actually our assigned seats, which we abandoned very quickly. The security guards were basically helpless since everyone did that. I mean, the arena is about 80% filled so it's reasonable to cover the gaps?
The rest of the day was so chilled out with Gee as well. We reached London at about 2ish, was starving and went for dimsum together at Goldern dragon!
My favourite
Gee with our dimsum, bonkers expression as usual (:
Wispy mice!
Then, we walked to the HK cafe recommended by Gee and got the highly overpriced bubble tea (3.6quid! oh man, that's like the price of 7 cups of the same bubble tea if I could get it in Singapore instead!)
Definitely made me very happy though!
Afterwards, we walked about at Piccadilly circus, regent street, etc and were just window shopping and our eyes glistening because we are girls shopping. The weather was amazing, I havent camwhored for a long time but then we decided to take a rest in St James' Park and took a few photos with well, basically the same expressions. Lol, they are all with Gee though, as for now I do have just one photo of us together:
Sweet sunshine!
I finally found out what this is. It's an Easter egg hunt thing that occurs all over the city. I think there are like 1000ish such eggs in total and the contest is about who can find the most eggs? Not entirely sure but I guess you can check it out somewhere. I like this paradoxical egg named "The Sad Happy Frog Egg", found in the small little streets around Piccadilly circus. Each time in London, I would discover somewhere new, and then I would want to go there again the next time. I guess the city has so much going on all the time that it gives you that constant sense of excitement? Once again, I consider myself to be a fairly lucky human being.
Now that enjoyment's over, it's revision time again. Gee and I went through the people who are smart in our course and then, it's basically a very bad sign because it seems to me that most of them are smart. Which means it might be tough for me to squeeze into the 2.1 band. I wish I can do it though, but will need to work hard for the remaining 2 months! oh well, whatever happens, life is not just about the finals this time anyway so I wont necessarily die because of that. I think I need to keep reminding myself that to keep sane and optimistic.
Just thought that you would want to catch me during my pre-concert excitement phase before I leave.
