i was half way through my beauty afternoon nap last tuesday when the phone rang and woke me up. i was cursing silently before i realised it was jun kee (aka rufffey girl to wiyang. explanation on this will be posted later). she was the first person to comfort me after i confronted "someone" and i was really thankful for that although she so happened to call me at that time. anyway, i answered the phone hurriedly (no more cursing, hehe.. actually i appreciate every call from anybody because not many people will ring me up just to chat and that is why i didn't silent my phone even while sleeping) and she asked me whether i wanted any tickets to watch a mini concert by S.H.E. to be held at Pay Fong Middle School, Melaka on wednesday night. straight away i became alert and answered "hell yeah!". well, they are the artistes that i most wanted to meet more than any other! i'm not really that crazy about them but i just wanted to see them in real life. too bad only selina and hebe are coming. i wished ella could come too! anyway, she told me she had extra tickets and i can even bring 2 persons along to accompany me. i'm so thankful to her! she really made my day in more times than once. and i only knew her for barely a year! felt so happy to have her as a friend.

fast forward to wednesday, i can't wait till night comes! i have to endure 5 hours of class today which starts at 9am (supposedly 8am start but i skipped the 1st hour) and ends at 6pm with breaks in between classes. after taking my dinner idrove to pay fong with lay wei, chin chin and ching yin as my escorts. hehe... we reached there about 6.30pm. the concert was supposed to start at 8pm but it was already jam packed with people (ah bengs, ah lians and even aunties!) lining up to get into the hall. it was half full when i got in but in a matter of minutes it was packed to the max. people started pushing and shoving and sweating and the concert began at around 8.10pm. most of them started screaming at the sight of them but some sang along them. they only sang 3 songs and repeated the 1st song for an encore. in between the songs they also played some games with the audience with prizes such as S.H.E. journals, lollypops and a handphone! i brought my digicam there with hopes of taking some nice pictures up close, but i didn't manage to take even a near perfect still photo because the lighting caused the pictures to be overexposed or it will be blurred from shaking (no thanks to all the pushing and shoving!). in the end i decided to take video instead and it came out ok although a bit far.

after the singing, those with original cds or cassettes can line up to get on stage to get a special S.H.E. ink-stamp on their cd cases or cassette inlays. i haven't bought their cd yet so i didn't bother to stay at first. same goes for my 3 escorts. but then after taking a leak we suddenly felt the urge to join the crowd as well and proceeded to buy the cd and queing up to get the ink-stamp. finally got on the stage after a second round of pushing and shoving and i was looking at selina, hoping she would lookup, but she was too busy stamping. *sigh* when i wanted to look at hebe, the security guys already shoved me off the stage. there goes my chance to oogle at my favourite S.H.E. member. damn! by the way, a security personel gave ching yin his identification tag (with a picture of S.H.E.) as a souvenir. *envy* went eating after that and then met up with eileen, eelin and lai ching for a short yam-cha session. felt a bit guilty because i promised i would help them to decorate the tables for anime exhibition tomorrow. sorry ya...
