I've been down with flu for the last couple of days... but despite not feeling 100%, i went to KLCC New Year Celebration concert last night. I've never been to such concert before 'coz i know the traffic would be crazy on new year's eve. So, why on earth would i subject myself to this human crown and traffic madness this time around?
The reason - i got a VIP pass to the concert which means that i could hang out at the VIP tent - all very nice with air-cond tent, comfy sofa, free flow of food and 'viewing deck' to watch the concert. So, i decided.... why not... let's do it this year. So, i met up with my brother after work and we went there... i left my car at train station and got my brother to bring his car. To avoid the traffic, he parked his car at Times Square and walked to KLCC - he said that it's just a short walk to KLCC from Times Square - i had no idea that it's going to be a long walk through the street party madness in Jalan Bukit Bintang to get to the car after the concert. I paid a high price for it - geting blisters on my feet after walking from KLCC to Times Square wearing wedges!. I was soooo tired after the long walk and horified to see the street party - with loud music, rowdy crowd and rubbish on the streets - i swear this would be my first and last outing on new year's eve...
Anyway, the concert was good. The highlight of the evening for me was Ramli Sarip singing "Kamelia" with the crowd singing along, and of course the spectacular fireworks display after midnight...
