Sang Pangeran Cinta!!

Wow...APM was great. I finally got to see Dewa perform LIVE!! Wow...im telling u i've never been that excited before. While the people around me were screaming for Siti Nurhaliza and some singers i dun really knoe...I juz couldnt wait to see Dewa. Not that i don't support Siti Nurhaliza.

But c'mon people....This is Dewa we're talking about! The Music Geniuses from Indonesia! AHMAD DHANI! Can u believe it? Most of the people around us didn't even know who Dewa was! When the presenter was going to give out the "Anugerah Khas APM" (an award for musicians who have contributed ALOT to the music industry), i knew it was Dewa the moment she mentioned it's a group from Indonesia. This award probably meant nothing to them coz they've won thousands of other awards like that. They've been around for 19 years and their songs are pure magic.

-Have ever loved a song so much that every time you listen to it, it just touches your heart and soul and all you can do is close your eyes and feel it? Well that's the effect they have on me-

Anyway, the presenter was goin on about this "kelompok" or band and how much they've contributed to the music industry..but still not revealing the name of the band. My body was already shaking and my heart was pounding so fast it was gonna pop out. Then BOOM! Their faces came on the large screens...people still had no idea who they were but i juz couldnt hold back my adrenaline rush! I shouted "Dewa!!" while everyone else was quiet....hahaha that was hilarious. People turned to look at me like i was some crazy woman. Well, everybody was juz sitting still..not even clapping! In Indonesia, the reaction from the crowd would've been more happening! So i HAD to show my support even if i was the only one. My sister too, of course.

And then they came on stage to take their award! WOW....i was awe-struck. That's THEM...on stage..right in front of my eyes! DEWA. They sure are "dewa"s to me...

>>Fast Forward

Then it was their turn to perform...they performed "Pangeran Cinta" & "Pupus"...it was beautiful. Even my mom agreed! Mas Dhani, Once, Tyo, Andra & Yuke...DEWA. My support for you will never die!

>>Rest of the night

it was pretty okay. Although usually, we would expect the young teenagers to be the rowdier ones...u knoe, screaming unnecessarily..juz making lots of noise. However, last night, the rowdy ones were the old people...people as old as my parents! Older, in fact! It was exasperating. At least i onli shouted when Dewa was on stage..but they were shouting & screaming non-stop...challenging each other. People from the back, and people in my row...all supposed "mature adults". It was quite amusing at first..but it got to my nerves eventually. But its okay..i let it all out when Dewa were performing :D

>>Bhumi Band

Bhumi Band did Singapore really proud. They were really good and won 3 awards...a first for Singapore, i think. They're performance was impressive. CONGRATS BHUMI BAND...

I had a great time. How could i not? Dewa & Bhumi band in one night! and to top it off i got to take a picture with Awi Rafael :)

And guess what? That's not the end of it...there's the concert next Sunday. DEWA & BHUMI BAND! CAN'T WAIT!
