Life in Taiwan (Chapter 4)

Hello!
Was it a surprise to see me with a new entry update after such long hiatus? Hahah.
Just because I wanna 'record' my feelings after (or during) SMTOWN Concert in Taiwan.
Yeah, you heard me right, SMTOWN came to Taiwan and the concert was held in freakin' Hsinchu which is the place I live in!
AND I ACTUALLY ATTENDED THE CONCERT.

Okay this entry doesn't really represent my 4th chapter of life in Taiwan and it's definitely dedicated to the concert hahah but please don't expect any photos (yet?) because I haven't filter and send them into my hard disk.
anyway I realised that I've been skipping a lot of my so-called interesting story in Taiwan so fear not because I'll soon update my blog with lots of entries about how I enjoyed life in Taiwan!
oops jealousy alert umm but I'm also jealous of everyone in Penang because you guys get to eat the forever delicious Penang food and for those overseas I bet they're having a far better life than mine lol.

Okay enough nonsense let's get into the topic.

First of all I have to say that the concert tickets were freakin' expensive so I never intended to attend until my friend told me that people who wants to sell their extra tickets might be selling them with a super lower price when there's no one who buys it until the concert started.
And the main purpose of going to the stadium was because that I got a job as a stall helper or whatever you call it and yeah I was in-charged of selling the merchandises, non-official of course :/
大家都是為了混一口飯吃嘛
I didn't put much hope on cheap tickets, instead I just wanna earn some pocket money through the job.
and yeah of course the atmosphere around changed my mind HAHA and I started feeling excited yet nervous of getting a ticket for myself.
you know how heartbreaking(?) was it to work while people enjoy collecting the slogans and photo cards from all fanclubs?
especially on an SMTOWN concert because DUHHH SO MANY IDOLS ARE COMING WHICH MEANS MORE AND MORE FANCLUBS HAVE CAME TO GIVE AWAY FREE GIFTS OBVIOUSLY.

So the concert started.
The first thing I did after receiving my salary was to find a person who wants to sell their ticket.
I first found a Korean, and she kinda felt happy when she finds out that I understand Korean HEHEH
I felt like "wow I'm finally speaking Korean to a Korean after learning Korean for years" LOL
okay the point was that she told me she bought the ticket with a super high price at MORE THAN NT$10000!
ARE YOU CRAZY THE MOST EXPENSIVE TICKET OF THE CONCERT COSTS ONLY NT$5800 WHICH IS THE ROCKPIT TICKET.
and she attempted to sell at NT$7000 but apparently I don't have so much cash with me and that's totally out of my budget.
after wandering around while Red Velvet was performing, I met a Japanese who wants to sell her ticket but unfortunately I don't speak Japanese.
she wanted to sell with the original price of NT$5800 but I told her that NT$2000 was all I have, which is true.
she rejected, but after asking a few person, she came back to me and the deal is ON.
MUAHAHAHA.
I bought a NT$5800 ticket with NT$2000!
my friend said I was really lucky because she bought a ticket which originally costed NT$4000 with the same price, oops.
but yeah we were at different zones so we can't fangirl together D:

Anyway I finally rushed into the stadium after Red Velvet's performance and it was Zhang Li Yin's turn.
well I won't mention much about the performance sequences and stuff because I don't remember them hahah.
but first, THE STADIUM WAS HELLA BIG.
you know how small Stadium Merdeka was when we attended INFINITE's concert?!
it's like you can still manage to see their faces even if you seat at the last row.
but the MOST EXPENSIVE rockpit zone I'm sitting at was not enough to see their faces as clear as my experience of seeing INFINITE's.
yeah now I think you'll be managed to imagine how big the stadium and the stage are.
so can I consider the tickets as HELLA EXPENSIVE now?
and one more thing, if you think that you should attend concerts because you wanna watch their live performances,
then I suggest you NOT to attend SMTOWN concerts, unless you have cheap tickets, or better FREE,
because some of the performances are lip-synced... which kinda disappointed me...
ohh but you still can attend their solo concerts hahah.
one thing good about the concert is that normal concerts last for around 3 hours,
but due to the amount of attending idol groups, this concert lasted for 5 HOURS!
yeah different people has different opinions okay...

It's time for fangirling.
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN FOREVER.
I saw Zhang Li Yin, Kangta & Tasty.
I saw Red Velvet & SM Rookies.
I saw f(x) (again,this time with Krystal but without Sulli) & SNSD.
I saw EXO, SHINee & Super Junior (again XD).
I saw TVXQ & BoA.
HOLY SHIT IS MY LIFE CONSIDERED AS COMPLETE YET?
actually not.... lol.
what I was gonna say that WOW EVERYONE THAT I'VE ONLY SEEN ON SCREEN HAS APPEARED IN FRONT OF MY EYES.
ESPECIALLY SHINEE, THE REASON OF WHY I STARTED KPOP.
AND OF COURSE SUPER JUNIOR WITH HEECHUL AND KANGIN THIS TIME,
although Yesung my man is still on his military service while Sungmin & Shindong are preparing for theirs.
ohh and pretty Krystal who didn't attend the MOA concert back in 2010?
EVERY MOMENT DURING THE CONCERT WAS TOUCHING.
IT FEEL AS IF I'M DREAMING.

btw did I mention that this was the first time I brought my baby NEX-5T into a concert and took prettier photos with it? Heheh.
AND WITH A LONGER LENS BORROWED YESTERDAY.
I definitely made a great choice of bringing my camera on stand-by hahah, which means I did have the urge to attend the concert by buying cheap tickets OOOOOOPS.

As a conclusion,
the day was tiring,
but of course more fun, exciting and memorable,

It was no doubt a great day, 2015-03-21 ♥

Well, I think that's all for now! 
I can't remember more about what I was gonna say at first but I think I've said most of it hahah.
I hope you enjoyed reading it despite my poor English,
and you may stay tuned for more updates because I finally decided not to abandon my blog again (although I've kinda said that for many times since long time ago XD) 

Adieu! ;)
