05/05/10
This is the day! Not to take flight yet, but to do something major.. Took AM AL to do this 神圣的任务...
Candice has gotten Jay Chou Tix!
没错没错, Candice finally get the tix in her hands!
话说从前，在这风和日丽的早晨，Candice stepped out of the house at usual timing, only destination is different from daily routine. SISTIC COUNTER!! But Where One?? Was thinking of going over to National Stadium Sistic Counter whereby tickets sales started at 9am (the rest start only at 10am). However, I suspected that crowd may definitely have formed and getting tix by 10am deemed impossible.. So Candice went for the 1st venue in mind. City Square Mall in Farrer Park. Why?
1. Bird no lay egg place. Seldom ppl would have thought of this place to get tickets. So there will definitely be more chances of me getting better tickets!
2. Is a Shopping Mall. Air Con. Better than queuing at Stadium and fan and fan and fan ownself right?
3. 贡茶 venue! Similar to KOI, Gong Cha is from Taiwan. Said to be using premium tea leaves. Nice Nice NICE!
4. Pretty fast route to office (took AM Leave so PM gotta go back)
And so, decision made and off I went to City Square Mall.
8am.
Reached City Square. Very quiet. Good. Just as I was approaching the of-course-haven-open-的-Sistic Counter, someone was a few seconds ahead of me.
"Will you like to head start the queue?" I asked. I was the second in line.
"Yup..." and some others short conversation I had with this person.. It's the 2nd time this person in front of me trying to get Jay Chou Tix..
My 2hour wait for the Sistic Counter to open then started. Armed wif a bottle of mineral water and 我报, Candice gracefully stood there, start to update myself with news happening. Seriously this is the first time I read this English-Chinese newspaper thoroughly. Usually, I did flippings and done in a few minutes. Today, I read it for an hour.
3rd in line joined the queue 10mins later. He lagi good, armed with laptop to book the tickets online. Kiasu Singaporean? You bet we are.
Security Guards somehow knew abt our existence and came to jia gar us. I guessed we had indeed spiced up their boring Wednesday. "Later I will need more support to come to the sistic counter.. roger that?"
PLLLEEAASSEEEE, we are not going to do a strike or what, we are obediently queuing to get concert tix..
So Candice continued to read her newspaper..
9.30am
My legs were wobbly and my grace and poise were no longer there. Took off my heels and remained standing as a couple of the rest behind me had made themselves seated comfortably.
10am
All set and ready to get tickets. Sales person kept shaking her head.. "Cat 1 left single seats, would u like Cat 2?"
The 1st-in-line got Cat 2 and Cat 3 instead of his request of Cat 1 and Cat3 (total he got 8 tix).
Not bad lah.. At least he got Cat 3 loh.
10.10am
My turn~ "Sorry Miss, Cat 3 is totally SOLD OUT" the sales person told me. Sheesh. I needed 4 tix. Cat 3 gone. Ended up getting Cat 2 and Cat 5 (Cat 4 also gone!).. After 2 hr wait, I did not get what I wanted. Abit disappointed but then, it's a fact.
Anyway, I still managed to get the tix. I thought it was way too crazy. THIRD SHOW LEY! Why issit still sold out so fast?? Hmm..
Opps.. din realise I have yet to pack my stuff... 4more days~!!
