It feels like the end of exams. Yah right. LOL. There’s still 2 more papers to go, Employment Relations and History of Management Thought.
Today was a great break before I start studying again in the morning for the rest of the 2 modules which I’ll be tested for next week. Good news (: There’s something awesome to look forward to after exams. Guess what? TADAH!

Singapore Girls’ Generation Concert 2011 Tickets
Isn’t it cool? It still feels really surreal to me. I’m gona see the 9 of them upclose. Whoo. After the bad experience for Korean Pop Night Concert 2011, we decided to get Mosh Pit tickets this time. It was war. SERIOUS. My brother and I woke up at around 7.40am so that we can get Mac breakfast for the entire family. The schedule was actually like this:
7.40am Wake up + Wash up
7.50am Leave house to Sun Plaza (MacDonalds)
8.00am Reach home + Start eating breakfast
9.00am Get a short nap to prepare for the intense war later
10.00am IT STARTS!!!
Of course, things always do not go according to our plans and it was altered by a little. Too excited. Couldn’t nap at all. In the end, I started watching Running Man while checking the Sistic page to make sure sales is still unavailable. When it was finally 10am, the war started. My friends started calling me. Everyone tried to get onto the Sistic website but as predicted, it failed us. Server hang (: Tell you what. I never managed to get to the second step of the entire transaction process.
Many of my friends decided to help and kept spamming the page but I guess it doesn’t work that way. It’s actually pretty hilarious. Sistic made preventive measures for this to happen. The sale of the concert tickets were at another page, away from its usual official website. However, it still crashed. The second hilarious part, their own system crashed too at the Sistic counters. I mean, hello? If even YOU can’t access YOUR own system, that means something has to be done to fix all these. I guess this is the power of Sones, the power of SNSD.
I was wondering. How can it be? In South Korea, the tickets for concerts get sold out in 3 minutes. Ours not. The only reason? The server cannot handle the traffic. Too overwhelming. I guess we’ll never set a record. Well, despite all these server crashes, we attained a record of 2 hours – tickets totally sold out.
Every single one of us tried so hard online but to no avail. We thought it was the end. No matter how we tried, it was impossible. The availability of the tickets were super random. So we just tried everything we could. That dragged up till 11.30am when we realised its impossible for us to go to the concert after all. Kind of disappointed but was ready to face reality.
That was when, a ray of hope shined on us. Jin told me that Jasmine Kok is already at the Sistic counter. It was her turn. Her friend and Kin Pheng has already gotten tickets. All our fingers were crossed, actually tangled (quoting from Marcus). Prayed harder than during the revealing of exam results. And of course, we got it. It was fate I guess. Jasmine was the last person who managed to get the tickets in the queue despite her number to be 10. Amazing.
After I knew that our tickets were secured, I couldn’t go to sleep at all. Kept thinking about Dec 9. How surreal. Really. Even now. Continued to watch Running Man till it was 2 plus 3. Decided to TRY and take a nap. Worried that I’ll die of fatigue later in the evening. *sigh* Insomnia hunts me even in the afternoons.
Got dressed and went out at 4 plus. Reached Sentosa at around 6pm. Collected our tickets from the Maybank counter and started to take pictures.

Picked a great choice from the menu, beef burger. Although it was $16, compared to the other alternatives available, it was really worth it. Drank lychee float. Yummy. Been a long time since I drank float. Fattening D:
After that met up with the others to prepare to go in! So excited! I was really curious how would they make the USS look more halloween-ish. Since the other time I went, it was emitting a fantasy kind of theme. And I have to say I was impressed! Super 
Got some really nice glow-in-the-dark wristbands. Expected a hefty price but we got it at only a dollar!
Followed JieYing and YanShan’s way of wearing it on the wrist instead of the neck. Credits: Jin
Walked around and took so much pictures! The most scary zone I have to say was the one with all the Frankestein and other characters. Totally freaked me out. The scary part is that they will chase you if you run. I didn’t run so I guess they didn’t follow me. But it was kinda funny when you see them chasing other people.
The haunted attractions were actually less scary compared to the zones. And it seriously impacted me a lot. Those zombies. When Jin and I were on the way home, every time we saw people, we imagine them to be zombies. LOL. A little crazy but oh well.
Anyways, here are some pictures we MANAGED to take.
The other photos are taken by my friends’ cameras. Will upload again if I don’t get too lazy 
Oh, Jin and I took the Mummy ride too. The backward motion was so unexpected. I swore everyone shouted. The other parts felt like the usual rides I took in Disneyland and others. Glad we took it since we’re already inside. Spent $0 to get on the rides. And we did try to “conquer” our fear. Somehow as I grew older, I slowly developed the fear of sitting roller coasters. When I was a kid, it was a complete different matter. Age must be catching up on me.
What do you expect? I turned 20 a couple of days ago (:
