Video Game Music + Orchestras + LIVE performance + Malaysia == ?
Double equal sign means equal in programming. A single sign means 'assign to variable'.
Anyway, referring to the blog title, Video Game Music + Orchestras + LIVE performance + Malaysia == VIDEO GAMES LIVE in MALAYSIA!
HAHAH! Thanks to my awesome kiasuness, I MANAGED TO GET QUITE A GOOD SEAT FOR THE SHOW!!! How? What? Huh?
What is Video Games live?
A concert featuring video game music (duh). For more info please click here.
How did I know they were coming to Malaysia?
Salwa was bored in the office on the 4th of December 2009. AT that time she was still a fabulous intern. She remembered one of her ex-colleagues who actually went for video games live back in June. So she decided to stalk the site and saw that it had a list of concert locations for the year... And then she saw that Malaysia was set as a tentative location. Her discovery led to THIS topic on Gamefaqs. Oh, and on this date, she decided not to splurge on her intern money to save for this event.
Then.... A DATE?
After more refreshings (at a rate of twice a day), on the 5th of February, the main website showed a tentative date for the event being April 17th. That discovery led to this NEW TOPIC on Gamefaqs. However, there were some conspiracy theories as there was no word from the orchestras themselves on the performance. Salwa still had faith though. Several articles in newspapers also confirmed the date of the show (Salwa dad showed random newspapers to her being all excited about the news. Salwa grinned and said she knew since December) . But still
C-c-confirmation?
On the 8th of March 2010, Yuki Ijuin, a poster on Gamefaqs, posted THIS topic. needless to say, a very excited Niorapth was grinning from ear to ear. At first Nio aka Kleiorihs was planning to go with her dad since he also liked some of my video game OSTs (well, he likes Scars of Time, random FF music and mostly Yuki Kajiura tracks). Dad however, bailed last minute, but Niorapth aka Kleiorihs aka Salwa was like .... I'M GOING ALONE! I can enjoy the music more that way~!
Dedication
Salwa knew that the tickets would be open for purchase on the 12th of March 2010. Knowing the nature of pre-scripted countdown timers, Salwa decided, what the heck, let's wait till 12 am and see what happens.
Lo and behold! THE WEBSITE WAS OPEN FOR SEAT RESERVATIONS!! The first thing Salwa did was book what seems to Salwa like the best seats in the house - 2nd row, middle column, middle seat. After frantic calls to Salwa's dad and frantic typing (wish I could type like that for assignments).... Salwa FINALLY.....
GOT HER TICKETS!
======
Well, what can I say? I'm a happy camper. By fay THIS is the way to celebrate my 4.0 GPA. HUHU
SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!! SAYANG PAPA DAN MAMA! Dan syukur Alhamdulillah dapat tempah ticket. Nasib aku kiasu lol.
Till next time... CIAO~~~
I can finally sleep happy
