everything that could possibly go wrong went wrong:
1) can't find our seats. we arrived wondering why the balcony was blocked off and we realised that the organizers shifted the balcony down! so i was thinking alright... and when we got to the sector below, we were left with the second last row. FIRST COME FIRST SERVE. so my first row balcony became second last just because i came at 7.55pm? and how about someone with the last row of the balcony? were they seated in front of me because they heard of the shift earlier? then i told myself to forget it, i paid $98 for better view.
2) Rihanna's mike wasn't working. which MUST occur at the opening and MUST occur during disturbia which HAS to be one of my favourite songs from her for the longest time. what kind of sound check did the organizers run? i wonder. and the camera crew COMPLETELY oblivious to this has to do a closeup on her screaming / gesturing at the sound crew at the side of the stage. the organizers have brains too man, wow. and no, she didn't re-sing it. thanks to the sound crew disturbia was totally marred, killed, murdered and severed. (!!!!)
3) we got chased back to our seats. when i thought that maybe for once i could be a considerate person, and most un-singaporean like, and actually dance just a few steps up, near the gate since i was at the second last row. but NO, some usher HAS to think that we are gatecrashers and insisted we go back to the balcony and i realised
4) there wasn't a proper flow of information regarding the seat shifts and
5) i wasted my time arguing with the usher and thus not enjoying SOS.
6) we got told to be seated while standing at our seats. ok honestly, if i stand up there because it's gate crashing and apparently being considerate is weird and if i stand at my seat i'm blocking you and being inconsiderate, then what am i supposed to do? i'm confused. gyrate on my seat because rihanna's songs just make me go crazy? NO WAY. you can do that if you want i'm entitled to freedom of expression. and besides, everyone else is standing up, so why shouldn't i? and who doesn't dance/stand during concerts. omggggggz. unless it's classical. and btw it was an old (40 plus) year old auntie who told me to sit.
7) old people should be banned from concerts. unless they're just unlike people of their age. firstly they take up space in a stadium, don't sing along, use blackberries / handphones / keep going to the toilet / clap their hands along in an outdated way with no apparent body movement. i was i-n-f-u-r-i-a-t-e-d once she told us to sit, i was SO close to flipping her off and swearing. but no i control myself, because i believe i should still be considerate even though i was utterly confused by point 6. and i gleefully stood up throughout don't stop the music, shut up and drive, take a bow and umbrella. HA HA HA, in your face!

despite the shittiness, i still love Rihanna.- the rest of the show was just awesome (: and i lost my voice from screaming along to her songs haha. she's my style icon lah! and her outfit didn't disappoint too! on top of that, she's seriously cool. like seriously seriously cool. she emanates with coolness, i kid you not "walau she got seh man" haha first thing i said. she didn't sing cry ): but it's alright, the super super emotional rehab and unfaithful more than made up for it. the energy was mindblowing as well especially from break it off and don't stop the music (when i cooled off from screaming at stupid people who tried to ruin the concert experience). oh and btw, rihanna's smokin' hot. SMOKIN'. i swear i might have nose-bled on the spot if i were any nearer. i need to go for another show! once again, thanks for the invite! (:
