A Moment To Remember

HeyHo!

Suddenly got the feeling to update, well to share actually. Because I'm sooooo happy as i am living my dream once again. :') Finally, on October 19, 2013 at exactly 7pm Jakarta local time, i got to see my idol, 4 handsome men with undoubted musical talent, the one and only CNBLUE!!! Yeay!!! For you, who dont know who are they, they're a Korean band (Note, Band not a Boyband, they dont dance, but they play instruments!) consists of 4 men, Leader/Vocalist/Guitarist Jung Yong Hwa, Guitarist/Vocalist Lee Jong Hyun, Drummer Kang Min Hyuk and Bassist Lee Jung Shin.

CNBLUE was first announced to held a concert in Jakarta in 2011 but due to some incapable and deceiver promoter (i dont say a name) the concert was cancelled, right one day before the supposed to be concert day. And it really broke my heart, because i really waited for that moment. :( And, 2 years later some date in July my friend told me that CNBLUE will hold a concert in Jakarta on October 19... and i was super duper excited hearing that news!! Short story, i managed to buy the ticket on Festival Class! yeay!

After months waiting, the day has come! They came 2 days before and were planned to attend Samsung Shop Launch at Kota Kasablanka, being quite fanatic i am, i ran to KoKas after my class. Tho i came 2 hours before the planned time, the crowds already fill the place, but i still managed join the crowd. After 2 hours standing and waiting, they finally walked-in the shop. OhMyGosh!! They really are handsome in real life, no doubt!! and they're so humble, especially JungShin who kept waving at us, jumping and smiling, event took selcas with his phone. It really was a short meeting, guess only 10 minutes. And they were leaving the place to have a press-con in a hotel. But that was really a moment for me. Finally, i can saw them up close, and live not in laptop screen.

And there Saturday came!! I know, the concert will start at 7pm and the gate supposed to open at 4pm. But, Korean fans were freak, they will come as early as they could, even stay the night before. As me myself and my friend came at 9.30 am. You think it's way to early? Well, i came at that time and there already quite long line up before the main gate. Oh, i was so bored waiting on line for hours, it was hot and full of people. I just sat there, talking with my friend and listen to CNBLUE's songs. And another shorty story, i managed to get in the hall at 6.30pm. The hall already full with peoples, made me couldnt get the front row :( But, thats okay as long as i can see them LIVE. Fortunately, Tennis Indoor Senayan not that big, so even though i was in the middle, the stage still look close to me.

Right at 7pm, the lights turned off, and the crowd started to scream out loud, chanting "CNBLUE! CNBLUE", and the screen introduced us the boys with the instruments they play and not long after that the boys got into the stage and started to settle with their own instruments before playing the first song "Where You Are" the crowd when crazy and started to jump and sing along. They sang another 2 songs "Get Away" and "One Time" before Yong Hwa greeted us with Bahasa. "Apa Kabare Jakarta? Kami CNBLUE!!" Thats cute how he added "e" to "Kabar", but the boys really showed us they effort to talked to us in Bahasa. Yong Hwa even shooing us as he said "Let me talk first", guess he will forget what will he say if we keep screaming at them, lol. That was nice of Yong Hwa that he talked about the cancelled concert 2 years ago, and as their apologize (it's not their fault anyway) they said they're prepared gifts for us, but i didnt get it :( it was an envelope with their exclusives photos. Going on with the show, CNBLUE took us to a roller coaster ride with the ups and downs as we jumped like crazy and screaming our lungs out and singing along with the up beat songs like "Man Like Me", "Coffee Shop", "Have A Good Night", "Wake Up" and "Love Light", in between songs they kept asking us in Bahasa if we had fun, oh hell we were!! Then, Yong Hwa got me awing and felt like crying with his beautiful voice when he sang "Feeling" while playing the keyboard. CNBLUE took us to a slower songs with "These Days (Korean Ver.)", "Y (Why)" and "Lalala" and up us high again with “Just Please”, “Tatoo” and “In My Head”. The peak was when they finally played their hits songs “Intuition”, “I’m A Loner” and “I’m Sorry”. I can say the peoples in hall all sang they heart out with these three songs. Me too, I felt shiver down my spine after sang these three. :’D Then, CNBLUE had some break time to change their clothes as we need to calm down too, we were so excited and extremely happy tho we sweat a lot. CNBLUE is back, that’s what the screen said before it tore down and revealed the boys, ready with their instruments and wore their official shirts. For the encore, they sang “Hey, You”, “Feel Good”, “LOVE Girl”, “LOVE”.  And made “Try Again, Smile Again” as their very last song. As much as I don’t want to say goodbye, the concert must come to an end for real sake. The boys said they were having so much fun with us, and they promised to come back soon. They walk around the stage and bowed at us, event took selcas before they really left the stage.

Oh boy! The 2 hours that meant a lot to me. I wont ever forget that night! How the boys talked to us in Bahasa, how they kept teasing us by walking around the stage, their playful action. YongHwa who stood in front of me and did cute dancing, JongHyun who also stood there with his cool side, playing guitar and gave us his very own smile, JungShin who being playful as he is, and MinHyuk who teased us thru camera because he played the drum and cant do much. Oh boy! Please come back asap! Im miss you already. Those moments seems will affect my life for couple more days. :’)

I’m living my dream these past two years. I watched Maroon5 and 2PM last year, and 2PM(again) and CNBLUE this year. One more idol to go : Jonas Brothers… and im really living my dream!

With Love,
