All Too Well

Things I want to do in life:

  1. See snow.
  2. Go bungee jumping.
  3. Visit Paris and Tokyo
  4. Watch Taylor Swift live.
  5. Meet Park So Yeon  
  6.  So many things
On June 11th I'm so glad I'm able to cross off another item off the list. I get to see Taylor Swift perform live in Malaysia! When I first heard of the concert I was so excited and happy that she FINALLY come to Malaysia. I follow up with the updates and my heart was broken when I saw the ticket prices. I'm just from an average family so honestly I couldn't afford to buy the RED zone, I opt to buy the cheaper ticket. I skipped a trip to Gambang water park so I can stay online to buy the ticket LOL. 

11 a.m. the tickets go on sale. Within minutes the ticket that I wanted was sold out. I opted for a slightly more expensive ticket. When I press checkout it was sold out. The only ticket that remain was the RED zone which is a whopping RM728. I was in a huge dilemma. It's either I go broke or I don't get to see her at all. Ever. Worrying I might never get the chance to see her, I bought the RED zone. I felt guilty for months spending so much. In order to make sure I survive until the concert day I work took up a part time job all the way in Kuantan. The guilt lasted for months and finally when the concert day arrive, I was so excited that the guilt all go away. 

Lesson of the day: If there is something you always wanted to do in life, just go for it. Opportunities come and go and you will never know when you will have the chance again.

I took a huge (and expensive) opportunity and I get to see my favorite singer perform live in front of me. All this years I've been watching her songs and performances on YouTube and it was an amazing experience to see the actual performance live. The atmosphere. The euphoria. 

Weeks and even months before the concert I was obsessing over one of her performance in Brit Awards. She sang "I knew you were trouble". I almost fainted when she perform that song in the same way as she did in the Brit Awards. 

No I did not get to shake her hand or take a photo with her but I got her autographed CD as well as a guitar pick thrown by Grant Mickelson, one of the guitarist in her band. I was so close to the stage and she was practically in front of me. 






Jinnyboy!





























No photo or handshake but an autographed album as well as a guitar pick ensure I did not go home empty handed 


I love you HTC but your camera really disappointed me in this concert. I couldn't take a nice picture :( I am tempting to invest on an iPhone in the near future. Time to work like mad this semester break. 


I was planning to upload all this on facebook but the uploader gone mad. Okay now I shall start my study week LOL


 I <3 Taylor Swift
