So, this is the whole Journey.

Starting from my house around 6,
we went by bus to Putrajaya sentral.
but since the next bus will be in another 15 minutes,
we decided to take taxi there.

Because we think that there will be no more merchandise left for us later.

Arriving there, we look for the crowd,
it still far from the place where the taxi left us.

then, finally we found the crowd

 
~in front of the stadium~

 

 Well, finally reaching there, we proceed to the merchandise store,
which turn out so so dissapointing.

they just sell some shirts, posters, and stickers.
each for RM80, RM20.

Nah, so I bought one t-shirt for my sister and one set of sticker.

~this is the store before the show~
(it get even crowdier after the show)

~ the shirt `front`~
(Hui ci, for you ler~~)

~the shirt`back`~

~the sticker~
(the paper is nice though)

~some unofficial merchandise~

 So, after purchasing those merchandise,
we took some photo outside the stadium.

~ hiro and me~
(this in front of the gate for VIP)

~ me and ali~
(this is the gate for our cheap ticket)

So, that we queue for the line at this gate
and turn out to be in the wrong lane.

~ look at the long queue for camera check~

We manage to get camera inside,
and I think the whole audience also manage it.

So, the show is late for half an hour, starts around 9 pm.
without any announcement, it just suddenly turn dark.

and the opening music begin

the sweet escape music can be hear,
and It just went wild when the music was played,
then some dancer came out,
then GWEN finally came out.
she wears the prisoner suit.
and,,
“Woohooo,,,whiiihooooo….“

(soory for the quality, since my camera is not so good,
plus the room is dark, and I was getting really excited,
and I sit at the back)

then, next..
there is GWEN on the screen
(as in the sticker)
“rich girl” begin..
“nananananananana…..“

hm, so cool and excited,
gwen get inside to change cloth
(if I’m not mistaken)
then, the ”Yummy” music play
(you know, the music at the back of the song)
she came out with white shirts
and fur hat..and hit

“I’m feeling yummy head to toe…“

it’s cool…

(when the music plays, there is a video at the screen)
(like machine thingy)

(the only picture that is not very blur)
(I’m damn sad)

The music continue after the songs finish,
letting Gwen to rest for a while.
then she came out again,
with Japanese suit
talking to the audience,
that tonight she is very inspired..
bla bla bla
(can’t remember..)
with the music background is ”4 in the morning”

then she sang it..
deeply,sadly….

(look at the audience)

Then the music hit again,,
some japanese dancer came out
some japanly-mountain shows up in the screen

“Luxurious” hits the stadium

(tha..that is the japanese suit thing..)

After that, the stage turns dark again..
music starts to play..
it’s ”early winter”
some snows-falling fill the screen
the spotlight is on to GWEN
still in the japanese suit

(very poor images,..sorry)
the tiny thing is Gwen,
the video change to a dancing woman…

The stadium once again, turns black.
Audience is still excited.
shouting and clapping,

then..
“High on the hill with the lonely goatherd lay-od-lay-od-lay-he-hoo“

this song was spectacularly played
by both singers, dancers, and audience

the part of ”wind it up“
was sung by the whole stadium
(guess so..haha)

After changing another costume,
she came out,
Then she had a little talk,
that make us get even wilder…
and that she has a realtive in Malaysia
they are Kingston step-great-grand mother
(if i’m not mistaken)

then ”danger zone” was played..

Okay…
after that, she talked to the audience…
AGAIN…
in MALAY
(she did this a lot of time like selamat malam, terima kasih)
this time is longer and she can’t say it right
and I can’t catch it too
it’s something begins with
DIMANAKAH
i think where is my fans ya???
haha…

music hit hardly…
“aha..this my sh..”
“lalalalalla….“
“hollaback girl…“
this is as spectacular as wind it up.

It’s too spectacular that I didn’t take any picture of it.

but I got videos.

lol.

Then, continued with “Wonderful Life”

she went in and change to another suit

and came out with a sporty suit

“And now with the following collection…..“
“now you got it”

 

Then after that, straightly continuing to

“Don’t get it twisted”

The set get so purple…

 After this cool song,
she suddenly jump out of the stage
and run the whole way to the back
which is near my seat

The whole stadium is getting really really wild and crazy
screams all over the stadium
then, she plays “cool”
just below my seat
i’m in upper tier.

okay, she is somewhere there

Then, running back to the stage..
“orange county girl” was played.

After this song is the introduction of her dancer all away from Japan and US part
and her band also.

Then, it’s totally black again,
audience are shouting
“we want more”
over and over again
for an encore…

it tooks quite long time though that I came up with the idea of taking photo.
lol.

Then, she finally came out,
bringing a very slow song to us
it’s ”real thing” duet with I-dunno-who

and the costume has changed once again

Then, after this song ends,
she opens up the outer part of her cloth
and came out with another suit inside it
and pose with her dancer

“what you’re waiting for” hits the stadium hardly

this song is also spectacular.
The audience can feel that this is the very end of the concert
and we sang the song together.
it’s so cool..

The songs end,
claps and shouts still around,
Gwen and dancers and band are waving goodbye
and bowing thank you

that is it.

My opinion is the whole concert was awesome, there is no difference between encore and the real show,
she interact very good with the audience,
it just the stage that is too small
and the show is too short
oh ya..and the merchandise sucks man!!!
