So, David’s back for the second time and one of my bff Hema Preya decided that I shall not miss the concert this time around. So she’s been kind enough to take part in every contest possible and was lucky enough to win 4 tickets worth RM190 from fly.fm. Since she already bought herself the RM 300 ticket earlier, these four tickets were for me, my another bestie Vanessa, and Hema’s college friend.
We went to the Stadium Negara around 3pm for a concert that was supposedly starting at 8pm, and which only started around 9pm.
So basically this what happened BEFORE the concert began.
Met up with another bestie Yee Lynn at the stadium.
Made posters so we can get David’s attention.
Went around looking at the other ArchAngels. (some weren't exactly nice to meet. ahem ahem)

| the so called "crowd" |
Amused by some people bad fashion sense (yeah that’s kinda mean, I know)
Bought a David Archuleta Merchandise T-shirt and manage to get a free David calendar that you only get when you buy the album. But the guy was nice enough to give me one. :D
the "calendar" :D
Snapped pics to capture this awesome day.
 |
| what am i whining abt now?? haha.. |
Tried to sneak into the sound check, we told to the security we wanted to use the toilet, but it didn’t work.
snapped pic with the sony bmg lady that we saw in other concerts
Hot magazine crew came and snapped our pics and recorded a small vid of us. And hoping David would see it, we made a marriage proposal!!!

Hema went in for the meet and greet (yes she won meet and greet passes as well) and managed to pass her letter to David.

Finally it was time to go into the stadium! Weeeeehooo!! Me and Vanessa entered through the Rm190 gate, but halfway through we ran into the VIP gate. Hahahahha..

DURING the concert.
We made into the VIP seats but realized that the seating were numbered so we cant be there, we’d get caught. So went to our original seats, which was way back!
Spoke to Van while waiting for the concert to start. Story this, story that. And we were finding a way to get into the VIP area, planning how to get pass the security. (we regretted not getting the blue-prints of the stadium
beforehand. :P)

| Van and I cam- whoring :D |
A local artist name Hao Ren were the opening act. I wasn’t a big fan of their singing but the dancing part was pretty cool.
Then lil David started off with the song Stomping the roses and we were simply amazed.
Cheering for him at the top of our lungs! (yes, we intentionally wanted to lose our voice. Hahaha)
On his second song, The Other Side of Down, the organizer shoved us to the RM230 seats. I guess its to make the venue look full. Cause before that the place was just pathetic. Vanessa and I were happy to move closer but our aim was VIP or VVIP. Hahah.
So halfway through the show, instead of focusing on David, we started “studying” the security, scheming our master plan. We successfully ran into the VIP section when the guards weren’t around. Yes! And that was just awesome.
Epic success, cause some people got caught by the security but we made it. :) And from then on, it was all about David, happily singing and dancing away on stage.

Crush
CRAZY WAS AMAZING!!!
After singing Crush, he waved goodbye to his fans and he went backstage. Then his band was playing the cool ending music and about 5 mins later, David comes back to the stage waved again and then he played drums with one hand when he came back on the stage at the end!
AFTER the concert.
Most of the fans were leaving. But like about 30 or so people were still there cause two of the band members, Steven the drummer and the bass guitarist were throwing drumsticks, David’s water bottle and set list papers.
And I went over to the front to ask them to sign my poster and my David calendar and BAMM! That made the rest to pass things for them to sign as well, and I was literally crushed by people.

The situation got a bit crazy and the RELA people started to chase us away. So we had no choice but to leave. I was kinda upset that Mark the cute keyboardist did not sign my poster or calendar.
Then here’s when the crazy awesome part of the night started. Hema, Vanessa, Lynn and I wanted to go sneak backstage and meet David. So we went out the stadium and found the back door and managed to hide from the security.
Lucky for us, that was the time Jeff (David’s dad) and Mark were walking by and we told them to wait for us. We quietly ran towards them and asked for a picture. The head of security (I think) saw us and asked us to leave, but Jeff was so kind and said “they seem harmless” and so we were allowed to be there as long as we behaved.
And so we snapped pics with Mark and also Jeff. Jeff was just so nice and friendly! We spoke to him for so long. He asked us our names, where are we from , how’s the concert, if David met our expectations and stuff.

| Mark the keyboardist! :D |

| Jeff Archuleta. David's dad :D |
Hema and I were busy talking to Jeff while Lynn and Van were hitting on the cute keyboardist. Hahaha.
Then when I asked if Jeff could sign my calendar, he asked why would I want his and if I had David’s. when I sadly said no I didn’t get a chance to get David’s autograph, he was so sweet to actually ask David (who was resting in the room) and got my calendar signed! Thanks Jeff!!! :D
Once we’re done, we left the stadium with big smiles plastered to our faces. And then we went to find David’s car. Hoping we could ask him for a pic when he was about to leave. After waiting for so long, David finally came out but the security didn’t allow him to go anywhere but to the van. So David said “sorry” to us and went into the van, but he sure did wave back to to us. Thanks David!
We wanted to follow him back to the Hilton Hotel, but it was midnight and we were in KL, so its not safe, so we headed back home, STARSTRUCK!
THIS WAS WAY MORE AWESOME THEN THE TIME WE MEET KRIS ALLEN. :) like what Vanessa said :"we’re upgraded” haha.
these memories will last a lifetime
