After I Met The One of A Kind Dragon

Due to the hectic real life (and mostly laziness), I haven't been able to post any proper writing on my blog for these past few months. And It's kinda killing me since I have so much things to say in my head. To think about it, I didn't even get to post my experience in watching the one of a kind concert. Errrrr, Where have I been? I know right? I've been smashing my head to the nearest wall lately.

So, like I've already said on my previous previous posts, I've been looking forward to watch G Dragon's solo concert. Well, he's my second bias in BIGBANG after of course my beloved silly-heartwarming personality-always smiling-adorable kid, Kang Daesung (I literally smiling ear to ear while writing that sentence). When YG first announced that GD would be having his world tour solo concert, I hysterically screaming 'COME TO INDONESIA PLEASEEEEE, JEBAAAAALLLL. JIYONGAH YOU PROMISED US LAST TIME!!!' something like that kkkkkk... I personally hope that his concert's concept would be crazy/unique/weird blend because it suits his image and music, especially on his latest album 'One of A Kind'.

After successfully held the BIGBANG Alive Concert in Indonesia last year, it's normal for Big Daddy for being trusted to bring GD's solo concert. Big Daddy seems to have a good relationship with people in YG since they supposed to hold 2NE1's concert last year (which sadly needed to be cancelled because something) too. The ticketing system was better than the last time, they gave seating number (which I think very important for all the non-standing ticket holders).

My tickets and Pia's

The gate was opened around 7pm but we just took our time and enter the building around 7.30pm. Inside the venue, you could hear VIPs screaming over the MV's that showed on the big LED screen near the stage while waving their crown stick (me included). Around 8.20pm, the light was off, the screaming getting louder and the yellow ocean filled the venue. When the curtain covering the stage was lifted up, a bat mobile mad of glass appeared with GD inside. While GD get off from the mobile wearing his signature sunglasses and holding that dragon walking cane, both GD and the band made no sound at all. No music, no greeting. Just the sound of VIPs screaming to the top of their lungs. When the band played the intro of MichiGo,we instantly went crazy. We were jumping even more during Heartbreaker, singing with swag during One of A Kind and rapped like a pro during The Leaders. One of the songs that I anticipated the most during the concert was Light it Up, the broken-heart song coming from the three people who were betrayed by public and poured it into song with mind-blowing words (seems I oversold the song). But, just like what happened during The Leaders where CL were shown at the large LED, Tablo and Dok2 too were shown at the large LED during the song.

GD with his bat mobile. Look at those lightings

 After gone for a moment, he came back from the back stage with giant 'butterflies' , they were props for the beautiful and romantic Butterfly stage. Followed by the slow tempo songs such as Missing You, That XX, Without You, and the semi-slow-tempo Today, the atmosphere changed drastically and very proper to allow us to catch our breath after jumping around.  Another song that I've been anticipated to see was A Boy, and it was as AMAZING as I expected. Not because of the lighting or the concept, but simply because the feeling the he delivered during the song. Oh and during That XX, GD sat on a huge throne accessorized with pearls and silvers chains. wearing black beach hat, He sang accompanied only by Justin, acoustic version. I have to be honest, GD looked like a lady that time (but then again, it's GD we're talking about).

Butterfly stage

Suddenly the lights went off again, and TOP appeared from backstage wearing red suits and glasses. He was HOT. Period. No argument at all. GD & TOP sang Knocked Out and High High and of course we did the signature dance of G.H.E.T.T.O E.L.E.C.T.R.O. Aside from those awesome performance from GD & TOP, I have something to brag to VIPs all over the world. We get to see Turn it Up stage!!! It was amazing that we get to see the stage that you rarely see even at the BIGBANG's concerts *grin*.

TOP is HAWT!!!!

GD & TOP

For the next performances, GD sang the songs from his first album such as This Love  and One Year Station. For more 'Rock' feeling, they rearranged Obsession and She's Gone with heavy drum beat and guitar melodies.It's not G Dragon if you don't get to see colorful lasers at the stage. And he definitely didn't disappoint you. Before the concert came to an end, a medley of Crayon and Fantastic Baby were sung by GD & TOP. The medley was first sung at MAMA in Hongkong, and since then they keep singing  the medley whenever they can because it's proven can easily bring the mood up and hyped.

The encore songs for that night were Breathe, Bad Boy  and  MichiGO. During Bad Boy, TOP joined the stage with big smile on his face kept shouting 'Say GD! Say Jakarta! Say VIP! Say Bad Boy' repeatedly. Oh, Bingu ^^ After approximately two hours has passed, GD finally said 'It's time to say goodbye! Thank you for always supporting me. Please don't forget me, Indonesia. I love you!' We love you two fatty dragooonnnnnnn.....

GD & TOP for Bad Boy

Last Goodbye (not the song^^)

The concert was perfect, it met my expectation. If anything that might be lack was probably the interaction with the fans. But, if you are GD fans, you'd be understanding  because he doesn't talk a lot. Even during BIGBANG's concert, Daesung and Seungri did all the talking.

I love you Kwon Jiyong. Quick comeback with BIGBANG. SOON!!!!

The Classic Chanel

 It's been a while since the last time I've seen Coco Chanel collections to be this... simple yet beautiful. For the Resort collection this time, Lagerfield brought back the classics, just what Coco Chanel has always want when she decided to build this mega brand back then in 1910.

At the earlier years, the collections were simple. Just like what Coco Chanel always say 'The less is more'. That's what I love about her. Yet, the last few years' collection were more like 'The more is more'. They lost the original intention. But seeing the latest collections made me thinking 'Yes... the real Chanel is finally back!'

If you see those clothes, they are gorgeous. The simple cut, the elegant feelings and (this is my favourite) the pearls are back. They will never get old. They are timeless. The classic Chanel, don't we all love it? Thank you Mr. Lagerfield. The collections are très belle.

Be curious, not judgmental

 "Don't be so judgmental"



I used  to say that A LOT. I don't like when people start to judge me like they know me or know my history. Hell, I hate it. It's not like I reveal myself to everyone, yet they claim to 'know me'. Oh please, I don't even know myself. Yeah... I used to think that way. It goes the same when a friend of mine start to judge another friend of mine 'why are you being s judgmental', I always say. I even said that a lot on my twitter. Little I know, that ALL OF US are judgmental, aren't we?


The thought came from when I had this conversation with a friend of mine. Both of us are sarcastic, I admit it and yes, sarcastic people speak without even thinking whether it'll hurts others or not. We just say it. Long story shorts, we discussed about how people love to judge, when  my friend suddenly blurted 'So, we become those judgmental bitches too, don't we?' and then it hit me. All of us, consciously or not, are judgmental people.

Have you ever thought that calling people judgmental is actually making you as a judgmental person? If you say yes, congratulation, you have better knowledge than I am (not it's something you should be proud of actually) because I just realized it recently (where the hell I've been?)

Every story has two, or more, of perspective. What you may thought might be different what I may thought, it doesn't mean that you're wrong. It just means that we have different perspective. 

In my opinion, there's a slight different between judgmental and accusing, aside from Webster's. Judging is when you're taking a mental note on how you think of a person and you stick to the thought, while accusing is when you're actually saying it to the person, and that person can say whether it's true or not. Needless to say, Judging is worse than accusing.

It makes me... a bad person /le sigh\ 

You might get mad at me and say 'Bitch, I'm not like you, I never judge people', just so you know, you JUST DID.

Counting down to Eru Concert in Jakarta

Eru pasti cinta mati sama Indonesia. Itu yang muncul di kepala saya ketika media mengabarkan kalau Eru akan mengadakan konser solo pertamanya di Indonesia. Rasanya belum lama ini saya 'bernyanyi' bersama Eru di Gelora Bung Karno. Belum lama ini saya terkesima dengan suaranya yang menenangkan. Walaupun sesungguhnya sudah cukup lama saya menyadari betapa Eru itu.... ganteng ^^

Saya tidak terlalu familiar dengan Eru. Bahkan sampai tahun lalu, saya tidak pernah tahu ada penyanyi solo Korea yang bernama Eru. Tapi semenjak oppa  yang satu ini muncul di layar kaca Indonesia dan bermain sinetron 'Saranghaeyo, I love you' yang merupakan hasil kerja sama sutradara Indonesia-Korea, saya mulai aware. Lalu Eru bermain di film Indonesia yang mengambil setting di Korea yang berjudul 'Hello Goodbye'  bersama Atiqah Hasiholan dan Rio Dewanto (XD) dan menyanyikan salah satu OSTnya yang berjudul 'Black Glasses' bersama dengan Atiqah. Sejak saat itu, wajah Eru pun menjadi familiar buat saya.

Tidak lama kemudian, Eru pun mengeluarkan lagu baru berjudul 'I Hate You' yang berduet dengan Yong Jun Hyung-nya Beast. Kalo itu, saya aware pake banget XD. Sejak saat itu saya mulai mencari tahu lagu-lagu lain yang dinyanyikan oleh Eru. Semakin saya mencari tahu, saya semakin sadar, suara Eru memang bagus. Suaranya punya efek yang menenangkan. Tidaklah heran kalau dia dijuluki 'Prince of Ballad'. Kalau di hitung-hitung, kunjungan Eru yang akan datang ini merupakan kunjungan ke empatnya. Setelah acara Music bank kemarin pun, Eru sempat tinggal beberapa hari lebih lama di Indonesia dan muncul di berbagai acara televisi lokal kita. Dia pernah bilang kalau Indonesia itu sudah seperti rumah buat dia. Waaahhh.. pantas kalau Eru suka banget bolak- balik ke Indonesia ^^

Konser yang akan diselenggarakan pada hari Sabtu, 20 April 2013 mendatang ini bertajuk Eru Concert in Jakarta 2013 with K-Pop. Lapangan D Senayan yang memiliki kapasitas 40.000 orang pun, dipilih menjadi venuenya.  Di Konser solonya ini, Eru akan membawa Ailee, Shorry J (dari Hip Hop Duo Mighty Mouth), Bae Chi Ghi, Sule dan  Atiqah Hasiholan sebagai bintang tamu istimewa. Mereka adalah artis-artis Korea dan Indonesia yang pernah berduet dengan Eru.
 
Ailee yang dikenal sebagai Beyonce-nya Korea memang menarik cukup banyak perhatian dengan suaranya yang powerful. Saya pribadi cukup menikmati 'Highlight' yang merupakan lagu duet Eru-Ailee dan saya ingin sekali dapat menyaksikan live performance nya. Mighty Mouth adalah salah satu grup Hip Hop yang saya suka. Memang, hanya Shorry J yang datang ke Indonesia kali ini, mungkin karena Sangchu sedang menjalani wajib milter, but Mighty Mouth is still Mighty Mouth, and seeing the real Shorry in front of my eyes, it would feel surreal, wouldn't it? :p Baechigi juga adalah salah satu duo hip hop yang terkenal juga di Korea. Lagu - lagu mereka memiliki lirik yang lucu dan kadang nyeleneh. Performance  mereka selalu atraktif dan kamu pasti akan di ajak lompat- lompat oleh mereka.

@KadokuID sebagai penyelenggara utama konser ini bekerja sama dengan Eru Entertainment dan Asia Top entertainment bekerja keras untuk dapat mewujudkan impian para Eru Friends dan penggemar Kpop lainnya dengan mengadakan konser ini. Masalah harga, saya yakin kalau ini adalah konser Kpop dengan harga tiket termurah yang pernah saya dengar (dan saya yakin kamu juga akan setuju).  Konser solo Eru yang juga menampilkan Ailee, Shorry, Baechugi, Sule dan Atiqah Hasiholan ini hanya seharga RP. 50,000 untuk festival dan RP. 100,000 untuk platinum. Ini sih murah banget ^^

Kamu bisa beli tiket Eru secara online di dmarket.co.id , tinggal di pilih kamu mau yang Festival atau Platinum. Nah, untuk yang suka nyari gratisan (siapa yang ga suka kan?), dmarket.co.id dan Iyaa.com sedang gencar gencarnya bagi-bagi tiket Eru. Kamu boleh cek di SINI untuk cara dapetin tiket gratisnya. Kalau kamu adalah Eru Friends, atau kamu suka sama Eru dan ingin sekali nonton konsernya, kamu kudu wajib punya tiketnya. Mau ngeluarin uang dari dompet sendiri atau mau tiket gratisan, semuanya terserah kamu. Kita ketemu di Senayan tanggal 20 nanti ya ^^

Ini dia teaser Konser Eru di Jakarta:

Yes, Sir... G-Dragon is indeed One of a Kind

Last year, I just couldn't believe my own ears and eyes hearing the news that BIGBANG will finally hold a concert in Indonesia. Like, the actual concert. Not any part of Korean Wave festival or anything, but the real full length concert. I was ecstatic. Beyond ecstatic. I thought I just lost my mind (just? what do you mean you JUST lost your mind? kkkk). After the two days of amazing, wonderful, mega beautiful experiences, my heart refused to accept the fact that those two days were already become memories. I was having hard time to move on.Hard time.

But theeeennn, approximately a month ago, I started to experience the same feeling again when YG, that beloved company who keeps taking money from my pocket, announced another shocking newd. Yes, you already know what it is.  Ladies and Gentleman, It's time for us to embrace GDragon One of a Kind World Tour woooohooooooo........

Yes, I've lost my mind. No, I don't even care kkkkkk.... So, following up the release of his first solo mini album 'One of a Kind', GD will be having World Tour until June 2013 (well at least that's what's been confirmed oh his official Facebook page). He already kicked the tour off in Seoul at 30th and 31st March ago. And he will travel around the world (again) to complete his tour schedule. Really, Ji? I know you're not human, but... really, Ji? hehehehe....

It might be said 'World Tour', But so far, It's still 'Asian Tour,' since the countries confirmed are still parts of Asian (Korea, Japana and southeast asia countries [exl. Phillipines. We still pray for you pinoy VIPS]).

Just like Alive Tour last year, Big Daddy Entertainment is the one who brought GD to Indonesia (let's give Big Daddy a huge virtual hug ^^). GD OOAK World Tour in Jakarta will be held at June 15th (starting at 8pm) and 16th (starting at 4pm) 2013 at Mata Elang International Stadium (MEIS), Ancol, Jakarta. I like the venue. Been there for three times, concert-watching-wise and, yeah, it's okay (considering there's still no better and bigger places than that one at the moment ^^)

The ticket prices are, quite reasonable. For GD's concert, there are only 4 sections : Yellow, Festival, Blue and Red. The range price are between IDR 550,000 - IDR 2,000,000, depends on the section. Red: IDR 550,000; Blue: IDR 850,000; Festival: IDR 1,450,000 and Yellow: IDR 2,000,000. The seating plan as attached below:

There are two changes happened on Big Daddy's ticketing this time. First, Festival section, which previously was divided into 4 section, now has only two sections. Festival A and Festival B. And instead of naming others section into; Tribune 1, Tribune 2 and VIP, Big Daddy decided to only name them as; Red, Blue and Yellow. Second, and this my favourite change, learning from their past experience, the seating section now has seated number. Yaaaaayyyyy... so, the Red, Blue and yellow ticket holders won't be worry their seat would be taken by others (yes, it seriously happened to me last time). I, personally, love this kind of system very very much. A lot. Big applause for Big Daddy ^^

The tickets are already being sold as per today (130407) for online purchase only. But starting tomorrow, the selling will be both online and offline. You can visit myticket.com or tiket.com web page for the online purchase. Please be noticed that myticket.com only take credit card for the online purchase.

Oh... Yes, Sir. He's one of a kind and he got me cray....
