Beyond The Story Live 2005 in Singapore

Just went to Singapore to watch Beyond live in concert last weekend. Some said this will be the last concert since the concert in Malaysia is not confirmed yet. Beside watching Beyond, this can be considered as a short trip to Singapore.

I’ve arrived at the Pudu Raya with Ten, met Siew Ting and her friend Danny at morning. However Rachel was late, so Ten went to Singapore with Siew Ting and Danny first, and I left to wait Rachel. After having the breakfast with Rachel, we started our journey to Singapore. Bad  thing happened: the bus left us at Singapore check point, so we have to take bus to Kranchi MRT station and then continue our journey our hotel in China Town.

After short break in Keng Saik hotel, we went to Kallang KFC for Beyond fans gathering. It was a great gathering with fans from Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Japan.

Next is the main show, the concert. We walked from KFC to Singapore Indoor Stadium while some of fans singing Beyond songs. I was so afraid that my camera will be blocked by guard, but the guard was kind enough to let me bring in the camera with the advice ‘don use with flash’. Appreciated 🙂

The concert was awesome, it just like a big party, everybody stood since the concert started until end. All of us were so high, jumped, screamed, shouted and danced all the while. However seems like there were something happened among the band members, very less communication among them, and less interaction with fans too. The concert ended without encore just like what they did to other concerts in other places too.

After the concert we just back to hotel and rest. After all we’ve been travelling and walking all day.

The next day was the exploration around Singapore. We’ve planned to have our breakfast at China Town with local Chinese food. But the whole China Town was so quiet and not many shops opened for business. So we changed to Orchard road for our breakfast, and ended up we had our breakfast at a bench along Orchard with the food bought from 7-Eleven.

After filling up our stomach, it’s shopping time. The first and only shop we visited was HMV, the big music store (4 floors) at Orchard Road. Bought some CDs from there.

Merlion was our next stop, we went there for photography session, and helped others to take photos too 😉

The sky was getting darker, we walked to Raffles MRT station before it rains. However it didn’t, so we had our short rest at a little green field behind of the Raffles MRT station before heading to Lavendar station to get our bus at Golden Mile.

It’s another adventure to look for Golden Mile from Lavendar station. We had asked few people, passed by some shops under apartments, and finally came to the food court opposite Golden Mile where we had our last meal in Singapore.

The bus was quite old, but it’s still consider comfortable. The bus first reached Pasar Rakyat, where nobody gets down from bus (another failure project by our stupid government, built a bus terminal in a jungle with no other public transport), then only arrived Pudu Raya.  We had our dinner at Petaling Street KL where it’s our last event in this trip.

Overall it’s a tiring but happy trip, although there some unhappy incidents happened but luckly we still can overcame them.
