Rain's World Tour: Singapore

I WENT I WENT I WENT!!!!!! Although it was the cheapest ticket, I could see him because my seat section is nearest the stage at the circle seats. I grabbed MOS Burger from TM and took cab down to Indoor Stadium. TM was full of people waiting for cab, so I went over Century Square and there was no queue at ALL!!! Easily, I reached the stadium around 730pm. The concert is at 8pm.



The overview of the stadium. People are slowly going in. And I saw Renfred from Campus Superstar there too!



Then I found the East entrance and there was so many people. So I queued and got into the indoor stadium.

There was sales of Rain's limited edition stuff!!! OMG! There were many people crowding around the table. Hence I decided to go toilet first. And the queue was LOOOOOOOOOOONG. After toilet, I went to grab Rain's limited edition stuff! I got his calendar, program booklet and handphone strap. Total damage to wallet = $68. I regretted not getting the cap because when I saw people wore them, it was so chio loh, with his signature at the side of the cap. There was also towel set, postcards, facial masks, notebook, pendant, POP poster, DVD... And I met this IDIOTIC guy who cut my queue. TMD. Not gentlemanly at all. That explains why he is ugly, cos' he has negative kharma. BLEAH.







8pm. People were still going in. I found my seat at 815pm after waiting to buy Rain's stuff at the stall. It was then that I realised my seat was not bad. HAHA.



View from the top. See... the stage is so near me.

830pm. Fans were shouting "Jung Ji Hoon" repeatedly. And there were cheers. It's starting, I tell myself. Heart is feeling excited.



The lights went out. ~~~~~SCREAMS~~~~~~ The backdrop fell and drums thump!! Fire sparks went up. Music came. It's the arrival of a submarine. Pyrotechnics went beaming around the whole stadium. One of the central screens lifted up, and a white life-size submarine appeared. It then "exploded" into two, sideways, and there was Rain, half-kneeling, in white overall suit and Aviator sunglasses.

~~~~~SCREAMS~~~~~~

The concert started with the song - It's Raining. Fans were cheering and screaming. The atmosphere was high; warming-up was not needed. A few songs followed with great dancing steps and perfect music-dance-action-effect timings. Effects were like the stamping of his foot in-sync with the drums and fireworks. Yes... there were REAL fireworks!! And there were lotsa them!!! OMG! It was SPECTACULAR!!!

Rain spoke in English. It was not bad, though some of the words wasn't pronounced accurately. But it was good enough to let him communicate with the audience. He teased the audience when they screamed as he attempted to take off his sunglasses. He's so cute!!!! Then there was one segment where Rain changed into Chinese Kungfu clothes and demonstrated Drunken-Fist. COOL!!! At the two sides of the stage were also long red translucent cloth that wrote "Zui Quan" in Chinese and his concert logo.



Of cos, there was RAIN. It is his famous segment of all his concerts - singing, kneeling under the rain. Rain called all of us - his babies.

All his songs were with good dance steps. The song on the two conveyor belts was quite an eye-opener. He was singing with a standing microphone studded with crystals and moving sleekly on the two contrary motion conveyor belts. Who says only Stephanie Sun has crystal-studded microphone? Rain's one is a standing microphone. More crystals than Stephanie Sun. What's the big hoo-ha about her microphone?



Back to the concert.... Then there was throwing of towels after he wiped his sweat to the audience, and a bouquet of flowers. *Meltzzz* He was holding on to his left hand at the last few songs. I could feel his hand hurt but was still performing at his best. Towards the end, Rain was saying his thank you's. I was sad it was ending. I was tearing a bit because he was so sincere in saying his thanks - thank us for supporting him, and that he will always perform his best, work hard and also his uncertainty in breaking the US market. The last song was Friends. And he stood in the central stage, got elevated up, and wings appeared on the screen behind him.



Then he kissed goodbye to all of his audience. He is so dashing, so charismatic... *meltzzzz*

Encore piece....... he was dressed in red cotton sporty overall with "Rain's World" printed at the back. It was a lively piece, ending the whole 2-hour performance.

Curtain call.

Rain once again kissed goodbye to his audience.

************************************************************************************

I hope Rain will come give a concert in Singapore again.

East entrance was nearest to the bus stop. At the bus stop, there were 3 buses waiting there! Each going to Boon Lay, Tampines, and Woodlands. WOW! Got direct bus! I didn't know SBS would do this kind of arrangement. I wonder whether it was Unusual Productions who arranged for these buses. Nonetheless, the bus journey cost $2 but brought me back home in half an hour. While waiting for the bus to depart, I saw a crowd of people outside the stadium. Then there was flashes of light from cameras. I wonder if those people are taking photos with Rain!!! Cos' there wasn't many people at the bus stop!

Rain, hope you have a good rest and all the best for your world tour. I'll support you.

Sweet dreams tonight. ^_^
