#IAWLTSingapore

I get a chance to see Backstreet Boys again. This time, in Singapore. This is my second concert and VIP Upgrade. I was so excited to see  them again. I couldn’t fall to sleep the night before because I was too excited. LOL. I flew from Bandung, Indonesia at the day event. Rushing from airport to the hotel and then to the venue, because my flight was at noon and at the 4:20 pm I needed to be at the venue to see the Soundcheck M&G. Thank God I booked a hotel near the venue.

So, soundcheck M&G. We waited about an hour. The boys came out at around 5:30 PM. They sang a few songs and then we got a chance to ask them anyting they want. A few questions were interesting like:

Q: Which avenger would you be?
A: Kevin – Tony Stark, Brian – Captain America, Howie – Hulk, Nick – Thor, AJ – Black Widow XD

Q: Would we see your children become Backstreet Boys?
A: Brian – no, mendingan solo karir; Kevin – anaknya suka IT; AJ – no, ava will go crazy; Howie – lupa apa ya jawabannya; pas bagian Nick, mereka nyodorin mic ke “itu”-nya. xD 

    

After the Q&A session, then we get a chance to take a picture with them. This was my second time, and yet I was still nervous. They greeted us one by one, and they hug us. The first one is Howie D, I gave him a traditional snack that I brought from Indonesia. I hope they eat it. The second one is Kevin, this is the first time I saw him (I told him so), he was sooo nice! The third one is AJ, I ask him how’s the avengers, he said, great! And then, Nick! OMG my heart beats sooo fast! I was speechless! And then the bodyguard told me to stand between AJ & Nick. I told Nick to do the peace sign, and he told the boys to do the peace sign. And yes, they did it! After taken a pic, I go to Brian, and told him to go to Indonesia for the next concert. He said, “we will”. Aaaand, I said goodbye to Nick. Only to Nick. LOL. I couldn’t say anything except, “I was sooo nervous to see you, I’m happy to see you again.” Aaaand he hug me again and again. Aaaw.. My heart melt right away! This is the first time I had a chance to hug them, because when we did the soundcheck M&G in Jakarta, Indonesia, the bodyguard told us not to hug and kiss the boys. I wonder why it’s different here. :/

Setelah M&G (ok, cape ber-english :p), gw dan dua orang kenalan gw memutuskan untuk makan. Di M&G itu gw kenalan sama dua orang, yang satu india berwarganegara singapur, yg satu lagi chinese warganegara malay tapi kerja di singapur. Their names are Pratha and Karen. And they both 25 years old. OMG I’m so old! T.T

It’s almost 8 pm. Gw, Pratha, dan Karen langsung bergegas ke lantai 3. Mau ke toilet dulu tapi ya ampuuun ngantre banget. Akhirnya gw nungguin aja deh mereka ke toilet. Abis itu, masuk lah kami ke venue. Berpisah deeeh.. Karen di lantai 4. Gw dan pratha di lantai 9. What? Iya namanya juga teater, nontonnya bertingkat-tingkat. Itu gw dapet pinggiiiir banget. Huhuh.. tapi gpp lah mayan masih kebagian tiket dan bisa nonton. Jam 8. Belum mulai juga. Mendekati setengah sembilan mendadak lampu dimatiin. Seluruh teater langsung teriak. Aaand here come the Backstreet Boys with The  Call. AAAAAAAHHHH! Mereka pake setelan jas biru kemeja putih. Beda sama konser2 sebelumnya, biasanya pas sesi pertama mereka pake setelan jas putih kemeja hitam. Ya ga masalah sih ya, ini warnanya biru gitu loh! Ahahahahah.. Beres lagu itu langsung disambung sama lagu Don’t Want You Back. Setelah itu, yaaa, sama persis sih urutannya siapa yang ngobrol sama penonton sampe isi obrolannya sama di DVD yang gw tonton. Kayanya memang diset begitu sih di setiap konser. Klo gw jadi mereka males juga sih tapi klo tiap konser beda-beda yang ada lupa ntar. Huehehehe...

That night, I feel like I was teenager again. Konser kali ini gw bener-bener konsen nikmatin konsernya: nyanyi di setiap lagu, ikut goyang setiap ada bagian dance yang gw hapal. Tapi tetep sih, gw gatel banget buat ngerekam dan foto-foto. Untuk video bakal di-upload ke You*Tube, dan foto-fotonya bisa dilihat di Insta*gram (hashtag #IAWLTSingapore atau #BSBhangover) dan Face*book gw.

You are the piece I can't replace. You left a mark I won't erase. Never mind what people say cause they don't understand how you left a permanent stain on my heart. You're never leaving it. [Permanent Stain - Backstreet Boys]
