Distant Worlds

Few months back, around mid July, i was really excited to found out that Distant Worlds tour performing for the first time in Kuala Lumpur at Dewan Filharmonik Petronas a.k.a MPO. I'm not really a FF geek but i enjoyed their music very much especially music composed by one of the most celebrated composers in video game music, Nobuo Uematsu. 

So yea, i decided to tag along with yukirye and her friends to go for the Distant Worlds coz thinking orchestra thingy is not chubby type, no point dragging him along plus the ticket is pricy. 

Worth the wait. I know yukirye is hell excited counting down for it once the month reach November. Me too, just not as excited as her. I'm hell busy this month and i sick quite often due to the climate changes. Worst, i even fall sick *curse the flu* on the DW day that i'm so looking forward to it. Don't care! Die die also must go there. 

Thanks to my ehem.. Mr Driver... my chubby of coz to send me there! I reached KLCC early, just to have dinner with yukirye and cheryl before we heading to DW. I'm been craving for pasta lately, even mentioned in whatsapp group that i wanted pasta pasta pasta but i ended up ordered hearty chicken & vegetables soup @ Ben's. Feel so sick that i don't think i can eat the pasta anymore; it is quite heavy portion for me. 

After dinner, we head up to MPO. It was quite early, almost more than an hour earlier than the performance gonna start at 8.30pm. Yukirye wanted to come early for the DW merchandise checkout. I think we really waited almost an hour for it. Once the counter is open and DW merchandises are ready for sale, lucky we were among the first at the counter. The queue was crazily long after when we purchased our stuffs. @_@ They were selling t-shirt, booklet, and cds. Dvds sold out. =/ I'm not fond of the shirt, knowing the only time i will wear shirt is to go to bed. So i grab the cds; the black and the white version. 

Me seating in Row R Sear 22.

My loot: the first and second album of Distant Worlds.

It was my first time attending live performance orchestra. It was superb and amazing. I can only gasp and amaze with the every sounds i could hear from every single instruments played at that moment. This is so amazing that it giving me goosebumps and i couldn't believe that i could actually feel so touched. Glad my flu was behaving well, i didn't sneeze at all but once the whole thing ended, i nonstop sneezing. Feel so dreadful on that night. Though Nobuo Uematsu was not in the present =( yet the whole performance was really amazing.

The End

MPO was actually pretty strict. You need to wear smart casual to attend. And no camera was allowed. The place is so beautiful that i really wanna snap a shoot. Kinda hard when the ushers are walking everywhere and warned the audience "NO CAMERA PLEASE". =( 

Deadly Captured! I love my S2 so much!

But the stubborn me still wanna try to capture this amazing place especially with the Distant Worlds screen. It wasn't easy to snap this. This is the only one and last shoot i able to secretly snap and glad the picture turn out well. Though i wish i can also able to snap the beautiful light ceiling but ushers are really everywhere, so i gave up. 

My music, before i went to my dreamland.
