Hubby and I went for F.I.R concert held at Arena of Stars, Genting Highlands last Saturday. "Who?" was the common questions asked when I told friends that I was going for the concert. F.I.R is actually a Taiwanese music group consisting of a pretty lead vocal, a cute guitarist and a cool-looking producer. Don't ask me for their names, I don't really know much about them except that I do love most of their songs; from energetic rock to soft ballad.
For your information, I only attend concert held in Genting Highlands and never in those stadium in KL or Bukit Jalil? Reason being, the seatings in Arena of Stars is assigned when you purchase the ticket whereas for stadium, it is usually free seating, provided of course if you are willing to pay a premium price for those assigned seats. I am not the sort that would camp outside the entrance of the stadium hours before the concert starts to grab the best seat available. Of course, the cool and chilly weather in Genting is a bonus point too! Initially, this concert was supposed to be held in Bukit Jalil Stadium in September but it was subsequently moved to the Arena of Stars. Ahhh....what luck!
There is not much difference between attending a concert and a wedding in Malaysia. The concert was supposed to start at 8 p.m., the concert hall was only 1/3 filled! Anyway, we arrived at 7.50 p.m. and I told Hubby don't expect for it to start before 8.30 p.m. and how accurate I was. There were people who came in after 9 p.m. too!! Gosh!!! Seriously, we Malaysians should attend Time Management courses.
By the way, anyone had any idea why we are NOT allowed to take photos during the concert? There were staffs actually going around with a signboard and a torchlight to remind the audience not to take any photos or videos. Of course, their attempt failed as no one seemed to care. And the thing is, these staffs only targeting those seated at PS2, PS3 and PS4 whereas it was very evident that those sitting in front (PS1, VIP and VVIP) were taking videos and photos without any problem. I was super pissed cos I paid for my ticket and I would like to take some photos for remembrance sake.
Anyway, the concert was awesome! They sang all my favourite songs especially the lovey dovey duet song that I am crazy over with! I vowed to learn all their songs so that I can sing to my heart content when I go karaoke, ooii.....WMW, when??
F.I.R rocks! At the end of the concert, most of the fans were dancing away to their famous song, "Fly Away".
Just in case you are still wondering who they are, perhaps the popular song below can give you a clue, if you do listen to Chinese song that is!

What's interesting about them to me is the gender-mix. Don't see much of that these days, not since ABBA. Glad you enjoyed yourself, dear.
hey babe, next time you go with me lah for concert ... err HK Coliseum ;P
kenny mah: I was told the lead singer is actually dating one of the guy, the cute one. Most of the songs sang by the girl so the two guys are like 'k-leh-feh'.
live2talk: When?? Any interesting concert that we can go before July?
the only song i know of FIR is Fly away. haha..my bro passed some of FIR's songs to me and i've yet to listen to it! and the only other gossip i read was the pretty lead and her guitarist are a couple :p
yeah, i oso kena tangkap snapping pictures during eason's concert. but the funny thing is, they let you snap with your phone but not your digital camera. @_@
sounds like a nice concert! you got buy glowing sticks or not? :)
Yah, when Karaoke? I was broke so didn't buy the concert ticket. I went to line up for NTV 7's Sap Fun Hung concert tickets instead. LOL.
sc: Their songs actually quite nice to listen to. Wahh..you never listen but already know the gossip? Haha!
Nic: Why hor? Paid so much ma...somemore it's for personal collection only. Hmmphh..so upset.
simon: Have to wait for tai kar cheh to give order. Wat is Sap Fun Hung??
We feel happy that you can enjoy these great shows but feel embarrassed that our own Malaysia itself does not produce quality entertainment stars worthy of our attention
Ivy...i love FIR too..Fly Away~~~~~~
wah, so happening ah u.. ;)
bsg: Actually there are a few local chinese singers quite good but mostly based in Taiwan. Being a singer is tough here.
ekeng: Hahaha..let's go K!
cumi & ciki: Hehehe, no lah..long time didn't go for any concert, costly mostly held in stadium.
Haiye, seriously, most Malaysian are prone to be late. I think it's an insult to the performers.

I know who are they! :) I like some of their songs.

jason: Sigh..we always known for the wrong reason.
vialentino: Really? Did you bring your wife to the concert?
little inbox: Yes, they do have quite a number of nice hits.
Jun: We shall see the final count by Friday morning. I can book as i have the number in my phone but it doesn't make any difference. They only recognise my card and not my name..hehe.
i know they, and i love their songs!! ^_^
Purpose built auditorium makes the difference. Just a one-off investment. Peanuts to a mega-theme park.
wow...You are very happening indeed. If not mistaken the lead singer is Ah Fei and she is dating with the guitarist. So far I haven't meet a lady of your age who likes FIR :S
Haha I like Fly Away also...quite meaningful lyrics too!
Karaoke??? ...hehe.."How Do I Live Without You..." duet! When?
ling239: Yay! High 5!!
worldwindows: True, they making so much money from it.
cokeworld citizen: Ahem...what you mean lady my age?? I saw LOTS of aunties there lehh..... Actually what does the lyric means? I know how to sing that song but no idea how it meant exactly.
wmw: Aikks...i asked you and you asking me back ar?
Hehe. Vietnamese have the same problem. It's called Asian rubberband time. :)
I've never heard of this band, but then again, the only Chinese musician I know is Jay Chou.
Er...Uhm....eh....nvm about lady of ur age...hahaha ^_^"|
what the lyrics mean? So direct ady wor...hmm...nothing I will be afraid? haha the chorus part says it all lol. In short we must be brave to pursue our dreams though its not easy ;)

Wow so "in" lah u!!! I didnt go for a concert long time already :( Last time I also curi-curi take photo + video at Jolin's concert :P
