parked at sunway med hosp.

hitz.fm and era.fm cruisers stationed at the entrance.

the first few in queue (reportedly arrived at 8am!)

the bag check station and rules at the entrance.

this is the queueeeee behind me (and theres more until the end which was a bent-U end)

DA showcase security staffs (dont you want a piece of that tshirt?)

temporary mini booth selling DA merchandise (album, postcard, poster, lyric book)

our beloved sponsor-aka-#1fan nqw very hot by noon. XD

ATV rides! (no lah... just cruising staffs.)

mizuiro and i at our very-the-proud seats.

just want to show how the amphitheatre stage looked.



food there was expensive; choice between KFC or pizza hut. drink lagi expensive; choices of bottled water, 100plus, coke.

half of the massive crowd turn up. yeah, half (coz it was shot from where i was seated, quite centre-middle).

well, of course we had pizza for lunch! background top-left: not with us. XD

in pic, bottom-right: free DA paperfan for the first hundred or two in queue.

well, the photos above were apparently all about DA showcase as i doubted my camphone's ability to focus on such a faraway subject. and the below here are all the (hopefully better) photos i shot with my digicam!

my orange jacket and freebies~ (they still try to brainwash us until the entrance)

the (still empty) stage!

wee~ our view.

big ass dslr. thestar photgrapher (coz his telescope lens got label thestar).

who is he?! i think ive seen him somewhere before! (television?)

8tv interviewers & the blonde and brunette.

jj reading the DA placards made by fans in the crowd~

ean giving out prizes directly to the fangirls! (can you spot him? i wonder if he got groped in that sea of people.)

hou ren sang two songs. (but i dont pay attention to chinese language songs.)

alif performed two songs. one was (please) jangan nakal; and the background light created an accidental heart!

daniel lee also performed two songs; one made famous at malaysian idol mimpiku.

david archuleta enters!
