The Day of the 'Christina'!
Day 3. Slept at 6.30am. Woke up by 1.00pm. Christina Aguilera’s voice was heard by Keith’s and Kenneth’s which made us sleep quite late. Heh. Excited? Very very! It wasn’t in my agenda to watch Christina, although I really really really wanted to. Tickets were really pricy! But I got one from Sean and I’m really thankful! Thank you again Sean! =)
Hearing Keith’s phone vibrating even before the alarm went on made us all jump out of bed, dancing to our inner Christina song! But sadly, we’re still a bit tired from the partying last night. So, we had a 5 minute more rest, while Keith was doing his Christina poses and getting it on. Haha. We got up, brush our teeth, another feast by Kenneth’s mum, and off we go to Singapore Indoor Stadium. By the time we arrived, it was already 4.00pm. Since it’s the free standing tickets, we wanted to get the best standing view (that’s why we went early).
We quickly paid the taxi and ran towards the entrance. We were all happy that the time has come! Our distress signal went off cuz we didn’t know where the entrance was. We confidently queued merrily at the East entrance and there’s no sight of any Christina fanatics. Only to find out that it wasn’t the entrance for free standing, so off we go to the next entrance with some assistance from the workers. Ok, so there were at least 10 of them in the queue. 3 hours and 30 minutes before the show begins. Since we were there in a group, we took turn sunbathing in the blistering setting sun. HOT like crazy! Just and hour after that, reinforcements came with a lot alcohol added slushy and chips! So glad they came in time =)
The sun was giving in by 6.30pm, and we look forward to just feel the cooled indoor stadium. Eager as ever, the Aguilera boys went in at about 7.30pm and running to the best available spot! Just before the show started, the stadium was quite full, including the very expensive VIP seats. Just as we saw the movements behind the curtains, the crowd went wild! And then, it began. It was FANtaBuloUSo! Have to see it to feel the experience! That’s also my first ever concert.
After the concert ended, and confetti was all over the floor, the whole gang rushed up to one of Xtina’s dancers to take picture with him. Heh. Off we go after that to have our dinner in No Signboard Restaurant (It’s built on stilts if I’m not mistaken on water). Gosh, I just saw the most appealing person to me ever just opposite of me! As we were having our feast, my eyes couldn’t keep quite! Cap and basketball jersey, yummy. Haha.
Ok, so next stop, PLAY. But before that, we gathered in a pub upstairs of Play, since there’s a queue to Play (something about limiting the number of people inside). Fine, we gathered upstairs, and went on downstairs after that. It’s more like being compacted in a can of sardines rather than queuing just to enter the club. Half of the group member went inside, and I was stuck outside with the other half. Feeling pretty tired, hot, stuffy, groggy, we decided to let it go, and go back home since there’s like the ‘impossible to enter’ sign hanging from the club door as it was closed. Damn, I was just getting started. Feeling disappointed, we went to the food court nearby to have a drink. It was about 1.30am and the people of Singapore were still heading to Play.
By 2.00am, three of us stood beside the entrance, me, Kenneth, Javius. Suddenly, Sean told us that there’s no queue and we can enter. Being horny as ever, we walked with big smiles towards the door and really, there’s no queue! Party on!!!! There he was, dancing to the overplayed One Night Only. I refuse to show that I’m tired, so we were shaking it like Beyonce and Shakira. By, 3.15am, they decided to go to Taboo. Cool, since I’ve not been there before. Just a 5 minutes walk, we were already dancing on the dance floor. And the current song? One night Only! =) Awwww.. Such memories! Ending? Umbrella ella, ella.. Ok. So there were 7 of us. Out we go, just to find out that there’s the common problem again, Taxis. Pretty much stranded in front of the 7-Eleven.
Kenneth tried calling the taxi center but couldn’t get through. Only 4 remaining, and we walked towards the food court with Kenneth repeatedly dialing the taxi number. A funny event happened, where a Spanish guy who claimed he's Christina's friend came up and sat at our table eating wonton Noodles. To verify the genuineness of his facts, Keith asked him a lot of Christina based question, but the main question which he asked over and over is "Where is she staying now?". He sure was hesistant with his answers and he change the topic quite abruptly pointing to me and Emma. We just smiled politely when he kept on saying how sexy we were and that he wanted to bring Emma to Spain with him. While Keith was sending Emma to her ride back, Spanish guy over here ask me to go home with him without any shame! I was like, NO no no no! Heh..
So, we left him soon after the taxi came (right on time!). Oh ya, he wanted to kiss Emma! HAHAHA! Hilarous!! By the time we got home, it was already 6am and off we dramatically faint on the bed. To be continued...
