i was listening to Caliban while doing my assignments when this surge of good memories run through my head like crazy.
i have never thought that i would watch them live.ever.not until that day.2nd August 2008.
you know how MCPA hall was never in good ventilation condition but what the hell.what the hell, i was already there and nothing else matters.
for them to perform in a poorly ventilated, hot and wet 'hall', i almost got all sentimental.they are who they are, not some noob from some district (not that i'm berating newcomers or noobies).
and they're Germans.being a Deutsch studentin,i vowed to myself that i must, must at least speak a phrase of Deutsch to any one of them.
its orgasmic, when they finally performed. i think i could die.but i didn't.i survived sore throats. (at this point, Our Burden to Bleed is blasting from the speaker and i'm shivering.haha)
when it all ended, i make way to the drummer as he was standing there and as i was shaking, this came out of my mouth
'helo (hand shake).ich kann Deutsche spreche bitte langsam.ich studiert Deustch in universitat.'
patutlah dia tak faham.sebab salah ayat ayat tu.i was a trainwreck, untung lah aku bolehg bercakap.i forgot all three semesters of lessons i've learned.enschuldigung sie Frau und Herr!
he had this confused look on his face but he continued smiling and i offered 'ein Foto?' and he understood.
and there's Andy Donner.the face that i drooled over in Revolver.and there he was in front of me.my knees were all jelly.and i scooted next to him, trembling (i actually did) and shook or more like held his hands and said I LOVE YOU, like a lover hungered for her long lost man.i think i scared him but we snapped a picture anyway. i wasn't in the scene, wasn't in a band, was not friends with the organizer, i was just a fan.and a girl.
this was one of the best day of my life.it still is.
