I had an awesome weekend - in Singapore!
Main purpose was to attend the Big Bang Alive Galaxy Tour 2012 - my 2nd concert (I'm such a sad case, huh?) after S.H.E.'s in Miri (Heck, I didn't even like them. At all. Perhaps 'cause it was a first concert in hometown from some non-local artistes & oh, I think my Dad had some free tickets from some of the sponsors then).

The atmosphere in the National Stadium was crazy, with screaming fans (female mostly, obviously) and the crowds singing along in fluent Korean and tunes to the band's popular hits. I felt old, kinda. Well, my inner schoolgirl was squealing inside. Haha! Until I saw some older 'aunties' in the crowd, some even dancing to the South Korean boy band's songs.
I have got to say Big Bang is really gooood. The members' vocals are just as good in real life as on their albums, and they are as entertaining. T.O.P., the group's rapper with a distinctively sexy deep voice, is such a freaking gorgeous guy even in real life. So is G-Dragon, the band's leader. I can see why they are so successful and famous internationally. I remember how hard is was to get hold of the tickets to this concert. The first day it was opened for sale - priority to OCBC card members, the tickets were sold out within the first 10 minutes! The demand was overwhelming that a 2nd date was later confirmed for their concert in Singapore.

Honestly, it all still feels surreal to me - the fact that I was actually there in person, for their concert. Meh, sounds like I need to get more fun in my life.
I managed to also meet up with my BFF from childhood, Michelle, who is now residing in Singapore. Spent about a day catching up and she brought me for my much-needed 'retail therapy'. I hope to do these more - meeting up and spending time with longtime friends. Have not really caught up with most of my friends for ages!
Oh, I got myself books! The Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy by E L James - at a fair price. Am now hooked on reading again, whenever I get the chance to.
The SG getaway was a much-deserved break. I like that the country is clean and civilized. The fast paced city was actually a good change for me for the little while from Brunei's laid back lifestyle.
