I opened the link he gave me and the first post I saw was about my then wish.
It's funny how it all started in September after I received the first CNBLUE merchandise I bought.
Ever since then, I didn't look back.
Maybe it does pay to be a loyal fan for once. LOL. I have never liked any band as much as this, and have never even bought any original CDs with my own hard-earned money. (Note: OWN hard-earned money. I used to buy CDs with allowances. Not earned salary.)
And maybe this was why God has been very kind to me. Because that small wish made in September came true, partially.
No, they didn't come to Malaysia, but they went to somewhere near enough for me to have a fairly spontaneous trip just to watch them sing live.
Of course, not everything was smooth. One week before the supposed concert date (Nov 2011), I received news that the concert would be postponed until further notice. Yes, I was heartbroken and lost. But no, I didn't give up on them. Most fans refunded their Bangkok tickets and bought new tickets for CNBLUE's concert in Jakarta. I just waited.
I think perseverance always pay? In the end, acquaintances who exchanged the Bangkok tickets for the Indonesian concert were told that the Indonesian concert had been cancelled as there was a breach of contract. I pity those who didn't get to watch the boys live, but there was also a part of me that felt relieved that I hung on and didn't sway or change my mind.
Then came another bout of obstacle. I was told that the concert in Bangkok will be held on February 25th. DANG! At that moment, I really felt lost. I had booked and planned a trip to Taipei with Nic (the boyfie) at the end of February. I was stuck, really.
I had to choose to burn either one of my trips. Bangkok CNBLUE concert, or Taipei trip with Nic.
I had to choose to burn either one of my trips. Bangkok CNBLUE concert, or Taipei trip with Nic.
But again, I am blessed for Nic told me to just go for the concert. "Taipei can wait", he said.
And so I did. I burnt a fairly big hole in the pocket and forgo the Taipei trip in exchange for a chance to see my favourite band performed live!
It was my first and probably the best live performance I've been to. I might be bias here, but who wouldn't be if your favourite band is standing right in front of you, singing and dancing away together with you?
I would go again. For their concert. I definitely would.
And I am thankful that the wish I made 6 months ago came true, partially. Life is never perfect, but it's up to us to make it perfect in our small little ways. I made mine perfect by flying to meet them halfway in-between... No regrets!
