SOUNDCHECK

I planned to go for the Tokio Hotel fan meeting, which was at 7:30 PM – 9:30 PM at Starbucks in 1Utama, after my piano class, which ended at 5 PM. So I changed into a different top in the car (yes, I know) and my mum drove me there.

We went early to be more familiar with 1Utama, so we went to check out the concert venue at Central Park Avenue. The stage was being set up. The place looked really small! I was like O___O. They (not the band) played stuff like a short clip of “Ready, Set, Go!” and a recording of Bill’s “too much pain, too many walls” thing that they played before “World Behind My Wall” for the Welcome to Humanoid City Tour.


The stage before soundcheck.

Because of that, my mum and I just stayed there and talked with these two girls there.

Girl 1: … And we have a blog.
Me: Oh! What’s it called?
Girl 1: TH Malaysian Fans.
Me: … Wait, what’s your name?
Girl 1: Karen?
Girl 2: And Sarah.
Me: SarahLiebtBillK?
Girl 2: Yeah?
Me: OMG I KNOW YOU!

They were the admins of TH Malaysian Fans! Then they asked what my Twitter was, and I said Jiayu95, and they knew me too haha. So we stayed there and chat, and suddenly Karen said something about Tokio Hotel coming for soundcheck.

Me: Wait… They’re coming for soundcheck?
Sarah: O_O Yeah.
Me: … The band?
Sarah: Yeah.
Me: Really? OMG! I didn’t know!
Sarah: Then what are you doing here?!
Me: I don’t know!

It was 7 PM and they said they were supposed to be here at 6. So I SMSed Shamani, Joanne, and Carrie to tell them that. We just stood there and waited as a few more fans came. There was a fan mum there, too, and we were all chatting while waiting. Then the security came and shooed us slightly backwards. Then they shooed us back even more until we were standing sooo far away from the stage!

Then at 7:30 PM, Tokio Hotel arrived!! The side of the stage and part of where the audience was supposed to be were covered with black curtain, but there was a gap in between, so we ran there. We could only see them when they came to near the front of the stage, but that had to do. We screamed and waved and BILL WAVED BACK!! :D We saw Tom and Georg too, but Gustav and his drums were hidden behind the curtain. Then this security guard said no screaming or taking pictures =.=’’. But anyway, we wanted to watch them, so we didn’t scream. There were about 20 fans or so. My mum went back into the mall eventually.

Bill kept doing this thing with this clicking sound with his throat. It was sooo cute! And there was one part where Bill, after singing a bit, went, “Oh!” in this high-pitched voice. Not a girly high pitched voice, but high-pitched like the voice people use to say “Woot!” or “Aroo!” or something. Haha he was so adorable. Then Shamani and Joanne came.

Then some guards, including the big German security guard, came over and shooed us off AGAIN. They blocked off the place we were standing so we had to go back and watch it from the front side, but very far away. But at least we could still hear them. They were really loud. Bill sang the whole of or almost the whole of “Break Away” twice and “Pain of Love,” and short clips of “Screamin’,” “Ready, Set, Go!” and etc. The band spoke to each other in German but I couldn’t understand it.

AT THE HOTEL

Shamani, Joanne, and I decided to go to their hotel before soundcheck ended. We met with Carrie and her friend Man Fai there. Man Fai had a fauxhawk lol.

As expected, there was a guard who was talking on his walkie-talkie and glancing at us. There was a “hole” in the back part of the lobby in front of the elevators so you could look down into the second entrance (it wasn’t a crappy entrance with raw cement and stuff, if that’s what you’re thinking) and watch the main entrance at the same time, so we just stood there and talked.

Then the downstairs entrance opened and some security guards came running in. We were like OMG and watched. Then TOKIO HOTEL CAME IN!!! We started screaming and calling, “Bill! Tom!” and Bill looked up and waved at us and smiled! And guess what? He wasn’t wearing his sunglasses this time, so we got to see his beautiful eyes! I don’t know about the others because Bill was the only one I saw lol. Then they disappeared under us. We were all shrieking and excited. Shamani, Joanne, and I did some sort of tap-dance by stamping our feet on the floor while screaming. The guard asked us to please be quiet. So we watched the elevators.

But they were smart. The guards pressed the buttons on ALL the elevators so we didn’t know which floor they came off on. But we were happy anyway! Then this girl came up to us and asked, “Are you fans of Tokio Hotel?” and we were like, “YES!!!” So we started talking. Apparently, she and the boy with her were from an Indonesian magazine called Kawanku, and they interviewed Tokio Hotel that day! So unfair! But she took a picture of us and a video in which we said, “We are from Malaysia and WE LOVE TOKIO HOTEL!”


L-R: Joanne, Mun Fai, Carrie, Lucy, me, Shamani
