It Was A Night

This is going to be a picture-less post since I am writing on my experience seeing EXO with my own two eyes while I was attending MTV WORLD STAGE on 8th September 2013 which was held in Surf Beach Sunway Lagoon, Malaysia.

On d-day, I took a flight from my home town to Kuala Lumpur and it took me about 45 minutes to reach Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) and I met my friend who was waiting for me at Kelana Jaya and went straight to Sunway Pyramid, a mall close to Sunway Lagoon where the concert was going to take place. We went for lunch since we figured it would be very necessary to queue with our tummy filled. When we finished with our lunch at Texas Chicken I was very surprised to see thousand of people queuing for banners. It was from exomsia I think. And I got myself two banners, lucky I am. We settled ourselves in a sea of people queuing in two rows in front of Sunway Lagoon's entrance and my friend and I were actually almost shocked to death because of how many exostans wearing wolf tshirt were there in those two rows. That was around 11 I think. We queued for three hours and a half and then suddenly they all got up and there was pushing and pulling and I felt like I was in a sardine can and I couldn't breathe and I remember thanking god for wind because it was so hot and everyone was soaked in sweat and my clothes, well it was not so dry anymore.

Everyone was basically confused because they thought the gate was opened but everyone also knew the fact that it was going to open only at four as stated in the brochure. But since everyone had stood up, there was no way for everyone to get themselves back on the ground. And everyone was cursing and swearing and I didn't knew what to do because I was dehydrated and it didn't felt like my feet were on Earth anymore. The gate was opened around 530, an hour and a half late than what was promised to us. Drowning for air and in hot weather, everyone was furious but when the gate was opened, everyone cheered up and ran for their spot to be close to the stage. I got myself around 5 meters from the stage and they had two big screen with tweets with #mtvworldstagemy showed. And they also showed us music videos from the four line ups and when EXO's music videos of Wolf and Growl were showed, all of us screamed and sang along and it felt like we were one and it was perfect to my thinking. But after that, with a sum of six hours being under hot weather and dehydrated, my feet gave up and I had to make my way out for fresh air and decided to come back in after the third line up from four made their performance. I thought it wrong because EXO was actually the second line up to perform, different from what I was thinking before. I regretted it a bit but I didn't thought I could make it up anyway since the crowd was too many. It was a concert with EXO as one of the line ups after all. 

They started their performance with Wolf and I don't think I could forget the moment I saw them with my two eyes, especially seeing Kris and the dance I only saw on Youtube, live. We all, exostans memorized the song like a camera rolling its film and sang along to every word sang by EXO and at that moment I swear I felt infinite, just like how Charlie was with his friends. I felt like crying because I was too happy and I didn't know what to do at first. I wanted to film them with my camera, for memories, but my hands gave up as I kept on shaking and I decided I should just enjoy my time here and have all memories from that night stored in my mind as really good memories. And I silently hope that I would never forget this one. Never. After Wolf, they stopped for awhile to introduce themselves one by one. And when it came to Chen, we had prepared a birthday song for him. Just after his introduction, most exostans raised their banners and sang Chen a birthday song and he heard it and said thank you. For once in my life I thought;

"EXO has made us no boundaries. We were all came from different countries, gathered in one place because of twelve boys with passion for music and made us one, at least for that night."

Kris made his introduction and said that he really loves Malaysia and that we should make some noise so we screamed our lung out and I was so happy because he loved it here. Maybe he should come back and stay here again for a week or something.

Kris: I say X, you say O.

Kris:X

Fans:O

Kris: I say EXO EXO, you say EXO EXO.

Kris: EXO EXO

Fans: EXO EXO

They continued their next performance with History and we sang along to this one too, like it was embedded in our memory. Funny, how the language was too different from our daily language we are using and it didn't felt awkward at all to sing along to this song. I took a look around me and I saw a lot of people enjoying this song and they were all laughing and happy. After that, 365 was on and for this song, they went all the way to extended stage and danced like kids on street and I saw Kris at the other part of the stage dancing his weird dance as always and they were all running and having fun with their fans. They were smiling up to their ears. I wonder if they really like the fans here? Then Tao came to the edge of the stage and sat there and Chanyeol and Luhan came to join Tao. And they sat there together with Tao and I saw the look Luhan had on his face when he looked at Tao and it felt like he was happy that Tao was okay because he had injured his back at ISC but he was good for the stage. And Kris came and gave his sexy stare to the camera on rolling and I chuckled because he was that charming to me and it seemed that he liked all the attention he was getting at that moment.

They ended their stage with their latest song, Growl. The dance, well was a bit embarrassing but I liked it and all of other girls liked it too. The way they twisted their waist, I was literally shocked. It seemed difficult and I was proud of them for working hard to entertain us. After Growl ended, they said their last words and bowed to us and Lay was the last one to leave the stage. And he ran towards the extended stage and bowed to us again and said "Go home safely." in Chinese and I was touched because he was so considerate to his fans. He must be really concerned since it was raining that night but I had fun and it was a great concert to attend. Even with a long queue and under a hot weather but it was worth it, for that 40 minutes excitement with EXO.

I stayed a night at my friend's house and we talked about how lucky we were to have met them and saw them with our own eyes and I talked about how handsome Kris in real life and she talked about how cute and tall Chanyeol is in real life and we both slept with a smile on our face and I bet we both dreamed of EXO that night.

With this, I ended up my post with a poem titled, It Was A Night

It was night worth spent in sweat and hot weather,

It was a night of fun and screams,

It was a night where dreams came true,

It was a night in memories.
