Hari Arthur 2009

Last Friday I got the chance to watch Black Eyed Peas performing live at Arthur's Day in Sunway Lagoon Surf Beach.

Arthur's Day refers to a series of music events which have been organised to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the Guinness brewing company. The events will take place in the cities of Dublin, Kuala Lumpur, Lagos, New York and Yaounde on 24 September 2009.

In our case, we celebrated on 25 September 2009, because of time difference.

Entrance to where it all begins.


All (erm, almost) in black, following to the dress code "black party chic". Look at the crowd!


Kasey and Belle (visit her online boutique store!) :)


Bronze Zone, the place where we standing/sitted. It's totally waaaayyy far from the stage.


To Arthur!!!

The first BEP song I love was "Where is the love" (from BEP's third album, Elephunk) which was aired in 2003, and still everyone's favorite up till now. I bet everyone knows how to sing the chorus right? :)

Then my love for BEP moved on to "Hey Mama", "My Hump", "Shut Up, "Don't Phunk With My Heart" and now "I Gotta Feeling". Erm, I gotta admit, I hate that "I Gotta Feeling" song the first moment I heard it on the radio. I hate it as much as I hate "Boom Boom Pow". Totally not love at the first sight listening.

But the more Hitz.fm played "I Gotta Feeling" and "Boom Boom Pow", my love for their new song begin to grow. -_____- And now, it stuck in my head - I gotta feeling *woohooo* that tonight's gonna be a good night, that tonight's gonna be a good night, that tonight's gonna be a good good night...

My new found friend - Jason and Belle.

The main attention that night was of course the Black Eyed Peas. They, as the VIP (Very Important Performers) performed last. Reshmonu, MC Hotdog, Danny One and Manhand performed (as opening act *yawnnn*), before BEP taking over the centre stage.

Reshmonu, MC Hotdog, Danny One and Manhand's performance were great and totally energetic but we used the time (while you were performing) for camwhoring. Oops, sorry! ;)

1st trial.


(after numerous failed trials in between)


Got hard time to capture a clear picture! -____- In the end, I used the highest ISO and end up with lotsa noise.

Trying to be artistic wtf. -___-

Finally, the best part has come!!! Black Eyed Peas! Black Eyed Peas! Black Eyed Peas! :D Sorry for awful pictures. I was standing way too far from the stage. All I ever able captured was the screen. :(

Their performance was great, and I had a good good night. In the middle of their performance, BEP asked for the lights to be turned off and got the crowd turned on their mobile phone. The result? Totally beautiful... :) As BEP sang "Where Is The Love", everyone did this:

You can search from Youtube directly - type "Black Eyed Peas Arthur's Day" and you will find videos on them. Here's one:

Black Eyed Peas shouted out loud that they LOVE Malaysia and would definitely be coming again! Woohoo! (heard that their Bangkok's concert in 2007 was "best damn live concert")!

P/S: Yayyy, I'm updating even more regularly! :) (and not super backdated post -____-)
