Thursday has come and the mid semester break begin, the one week semester break that I waited for a long time to recover me from the stress and class even though lecturer give me a lot of assignments to do. After class session end, I went to the hostel and put my laptop, notebook, toiletries and laptop in my bag and clean my room before leaving it for one week. The last night before I go back to home has come, I grabbed my earphone and listened to my favorite British rock band, oasis from their debut album until last album. After one hour listening to my favorite British rock band, I went to the village near my university to buy a meal for my dinner and buy an instant noodle for my supper.
My phone ringing after I finished my meal, I got a call from my friend and he asked me to meet him at his room to finish the last assignment before the mid semester break start. Therefore, I brought my phone and wallet and went to his room and finished the last assignment in 4 hours. After finishing it and going back to my room, I grabbed my instant noodle and boiled a water to cook my instant noodle. I enjoyed eating my instant noodle while watching my favorite anime series. The sun rises, I took my bag and went back to my home at Bandar Baru Bangi by motorcycle. After 2 hours of travelling, I have safely arrived at my home and put my bag in my room and I slept for 5 hours because I did not sleep last night because of finishing my last assignment.
Attending To The Indievaganza
I have been waiting for this gig for a week after the organizer published the poster on social media. Saturday has come, I called my friend to go to the gig at 6:30 pm. I came out of the house after an afternoon tea and saw heavy rain. I was so frustrated but I could not complain about the god gave, I asked for my mom's permission to borrow a car and drove my mom's car to Alamanda, Putrajaya because my friend worked there. Once I got there, a friend of mine stepped into my car and we headed to the destination we wanted to visit, Precinct 2, Putrajaya because that was where the gig was going. Once we reached the destination, we were lost because the organizers' info was so confusing. We searched the place for 30 minutes and after asking a few people, we found the place.
The first performance for the gig was started by indie pop group Pastel Lite. They have sung some songs from their second album, "Pop Bilik Tidur". This was the first performance of Pastel Lite that I could see because before I could not get the chance to see their performance due to the workload. After their performance, we smoked cigarettes as we waited for the next indie rock band to perform. The audience started to fill the space in front of the stage, we rushed there because the indie rock band was the next indie rock band I had loved since the age of 12.
After the hosts screamed for the next indie rock band The Times, everyone in the crowd shouted and they began their performance with a song from their third album that is "Kerusi Eletrik". After they finished playing their first song, they thanked the organizers for giving them a chance to perform. Naza, a vocalist and guitarist for The Times, has announced that the next song that is "Picagari" and the song is about the danger of drugs. during the chorus, I have seen many people have jumped with joy while singing in a loud voice. I also took the opportunity to sing loudly and jumping along with my friend as a sign I was really interested in it.
After they played a few songs, they announced their last song to be singing the "Singapura-Kuala Lumpur". I was screaming out loud because that song is a song that I always hear and I'm not tired of hearing it many times. As soon as they started the show, I sing out loud and sing it aloud while jumping with joy. During the guitar solo, vocalist told us to make a circle pit and I've done it with my friend and also the other audiences. I invited my friend to go home because I was so tired that my legs hurt. Actually there are more rock bands who will be playing but I was tired.
New Year Eve 2020
2019 has been in the end, I have invited my friend to go to a concert organized by Malaysian TV station RTM, I went to my friend's house to pick it up and went on our way to Merdeka Square. During the trip, we have faced many obstacles such as traffic congestion even if we motorcycling and find parking around Dataran Merdeka. After arriving at the Merdeka Square, we saw many people there and we try to squeeze into the front of the stage to watch the rock group. The first band performance is Masdo, I saw a lot of people singing their songs while dancing twist for the genre that they bring is a pop-yeh yeh.
Clock showed 10 seconds away at 12, everyone is waiting for the arrival of 2020 while doing a count of 10. Presentation drones have carried out as soon as the clock strikes 12 o'clock, I saw a lot of people are fascinated by the show while record a video with a smartphone. After 30 minutes, the host for the concert have been doing interviews with people who have brought honor to our country.
After several performances from Malaysian singer, the host announced the indie rock group famous in Malaysia that is Hujan for their performance, everyone screamed loudly and as soon as they played their first song for the concert that is "Obsesi" all the people moshed and jumped extremely because they waited for their performance for a long time. During the middle of their show,the organizers had to give way to television advertising as they see many people climbed on stage and this is a dangerous thing. After calming the tense atmosphere, the organizers asked people to sit down and made all people booing to them. After the concert ends, I went back to my house and feel so happy because my mid semester break ended happily.
