Singapore Touring and Dragonforce Concert

Immediately after the Redang Trip... I was on another trip, but this time, it was heading down south to the land where kiasu-ism was rumoured to be originated - Singapore!

Staying in my cousin's place, I won't show the pics of his house. Kena respect privacy mah...

However, I should show his little daughter though! Quite an attractive star! xD

isn't she adorable??!

Her name's Grace and she's only 1 year old ++

My sis and I Just have to get a picture with her!!

Hrrm, my bro and tai sou seems eager to have one anytime soon *hint**hint*

After jalan-jalan at Suntec City (which I have no intention to show the pics!!), my cousin Chee Lip has bought us tickets to join Singapore's latest tourist attraction.. Behold!!

Singapore Ducktour!

Built on a war machine that once served in the vietnam wars, this ingenious truck can travel both on land and water!! Though it's never been thought as a future commercial exploitations!!

The largest floating stage in Asia (I think?)

The microphone-shaped building which is actually the place for live stage performances.

Cool design on the building!

Paying homage to Singapore - The lion!

Singapore's future pat toh spot! 36 minutes to complete one revolution according to the tourist guide onboard.

There, the duck tour trip has informed me of the latest tourist attraction as well as the latest developments such as the New Financial Area and the famed Casino. The 1 hour ride cost $33 each! hampeh betul...

Of course, the main reason to go all the way down to Singapore is.....

Dragonforce is performing!!! Live from D'Marquee Downtown East!!

They are the ones who started the genre power metal - extremely fast guitar shreddings with melody tunes from both guitarists and keyboardist. Their songs do not varied much, for they include familiar words such as fire and flames, mountains and seas, warriors and fallen.. well you get my point. But each song has its unique way of protraying those words used above! haha! listen to them yourself!

Dragonforce in action!!

Herman and Sam doing what they do best - Twin Blast!

The siao keyboardist Vadim

Ready to rock the crowd!

Songs played included Fury of the Storm, Operation Ground and Pound, Soldiers of Wasteland, My Spirit Will Go On, Through the Fire and the Flames and others which I have not listened to yet!

I even got lucky when the vocalist ZP Theart spotted me at the back of the crowd as he was tossing water bottles to the crowd. Grabbing a water bottle, he judged the distance and threw it perfectly towards my outstretched arm!! A souvenir from DragonforcE!!!! what luck!!! Though the water bottle is a proud product of Carrefour... -.-"

As they finished perform Through the Fire and the Flames, they bid their farewells and walked behind the curtains. Shouts of encore was soon heard in the whole arena, getting louder and louder with each second! Finally they reappeared, welcomed by the fans with a long applause, and they performed their old classic - Valley of the Damned!!! What a great end to the concert!!

The concert lasted for 2 hours, but what a great experience I've had! After leaving the arena, my ears were still buzzing for more than half an hour. We headed back Malaysia after picking up my Sis and dai sou from the apartment.

I'm eager for another Heavy Metal concert! Such passionate atmosphere! It felt so great just to be a part of it!!!
