GD&TOP and Seungri at F1

Last week on 23rd September, Big Bang's GD&TOP and Seungri came to Singapore to perform at the F1 Singapore Grand Prix ♥ Walkabout tickets for Friday were only S$38, and they were scheduled to perform at 11:10pm. However to access to the area around the stage was limited to 2,000 people, and wristbands to enter the area would be given out from 3pm on a first-com-first-served basis. Needless to say, of course we went there at 3pm to get the wristbands :D

At 11:10pm the deejay kept stalling and playing random stuff and 2NE1 songs. The actual "performance" only started 15 minutes later, with Seungri's solo songs.

There were 2 large screens, one on each side of the stage. The stage was T-shaped, and we were near the tip of the T. Meaning, it's close only if they walk out. Other than that, looking at the screen would give a better view :P

The lights system was awesome!

Strobe lights in many different colors ♥

And the yellow light matched the yellow light-sticks hehe.

More of the pretty lights.

For this shot, I swear Seungri was pointing straight at my bling-ed camera (cos it's really sparkly, especially with the wonderful lighting system) but the over-zealous young girls in front just wouldn't stop waving and banging their light-sticks in front of my camera!!! Hence the yellow blur :( He's looking and pointing at my camera okay!

After Seungri sang VVIP, Strong Baby and What Can I do, it was time for GD&TOP!

Loved their colorful jackets and coats!

They performed Intro, Knock Out, Oh Yeah and my favorite, High High.

Inconsiderate fans brought balloons, which greatly obstructed the view of 10,000+ people behind. Luckily I wasn't behind them! Though my (camera's) view was still blocked by the light-stick girls.

One of the ments during the performance where they introduce themselves and say random things in English. GD does most of the talking though, TOP just says hi!

Ending their talk and performing High High. It's kind of shakey cos I'm just holding the camera out while I look at them^^

Second clip of the High High performance.

Bromance!

TOP hugged GD during the High High performance, awww (:

I really love the lighting and their colorful coats ♥

Then TOP walked over to the tip of the T, *snaps away*

Then GD came over too!

GD!

And TOP bent down at one side, the girls there must've been in shock :O

They made good use of the lights and the backscreen.

Charice didn't really use the backscreen so it wasn't as visually spectacular ^^

For the encore, the 3 of them did "How Gee".

Bet Seungri couldn't stand the heat and humidity, so he took of his suit jacket and rolled up his sleeves.

GD probably couldn't take the heat and humidity either, so he took off his colorful coat.

Perhaps TOP could take the sweltering heat and humidity, he kept his jacket on.

GD + TOP + Seungri = awesome day!

The end. It ended 5 minutes early so I think their actual performance was only 30+minutes instead of the intended 50. But, it was a great performance!♥ I hope Big Bang comes to do a full-length concert someday!

F1 Singapore GP 2011

23~25 September was the weekend of the F1 Singapore Grand Prix!

I loooove F1, it's the only sport I keep up with and like watching ♥

Queuing outside Gate 3 (under the hot sun with 24124 other people) waiting for it to open!

All gates open at 3pm.

Got our fan zone wristbands!

The fan zone is the area around the stage that only people with the wristbands can enter. People without wristbands can only watch from waaay further away, at a distance where good pictures are an impossibility! Wristbands would be given out from 3pm at the performance area. GD&TOP and Seungri were scheduled to perform at 11pm. But the wait was worth it!

Happy and awesome day ahead!

Had to take a picture with this fake "podium"!

There was a simulator that the public could try out!

"Fast is amazing." Agreed!

Trying out the LG 3D LCD TV, amazing clarity!

But it would be weird if 3D television became the norm; when everyone watches television they'd be wearing funky glasses and staring at a box...

After getting the wristbands, we exited to feast on Japanese food for dinner^^

Survival kit consists of earplugs and a poncho.

The earplugs were lifesavers!

As much I as adore the sound of V8 engines and being close to the stage where GD&TOP and Seungri will be performing, the sound level is too loud and I'd have gone deaf if not for the earplugs!

Charice performed at 8:30pm, she has an amazing voice!

F1 free practice session 2.

We stood up in preparation for GD&TOP and Seungri's performances, so that other people wouldn't step on us! The dude behind kept photo-bombing my photos :(

VIPs waiting in anticipation!

GD&TOP and Seungri's performance in the next post!
