Sunburst KL 09: So, Was It Worth The Money You Paid For The Ticket?

Hey guys, its the end of my work day (at least for today) on a mundane Monday. I haven't updated you guys on Sunburst. So, let me share with you some dirt on it...

We (Yaya, her group of friends, my cousins) went to Bukit Kiara at about 5-ish. We were then 'welcomed' by a long line or parked cars (as usual, what do you expect from this kind of events?). I've decided to park the car on the other side of the road. First things first, we were unnecessarily charged 10 bucks for the 'parking' fee. WTF? This is not a parking lot, we shouldn't pay a cent. Even the so-called parking company is so dodgy; White & Black Parking Management, or something. But, me don't want no trouble. The last thing I need to worry about if my car being scratched hideously, or worse (luckily i didn't take My City).

We then went through the security checks and all, and we entered the polo field area. I already saw two big stages, then there's this X-Pax area with huge X, food stalls on the left. We decided to walk through the area and see anything interesting and worth checking out first. At that time, Russian Winters were performing on stage. We managed to lepak and check out Gerhana Ska Cinta's performance. It was not bad actually, and the crowd is certainly loving it; dancing along the tunes played.

I was there for two reasons actually; Nidji and Naturally 7. Nidji performed right after Estranged's performance. And let me tell you, Nidji's performance was awesome! They did not dissappoint at all! I was not a big fan of Nidji (I only know a few of their songs). But man, after watching their performance, I've decided to find all their songs!

Then there's the big guns; N.E.R.D and Korn. I've been to head banging, rocking show, so I thought, why don't I skipped N.E.R.D, and check out something more...intimate. And so I did just that; I went to see Naturally 7. They performed at a rather small stage. I was early and there were about 10, 15 people waiting for it. Due to that, I managed to slide and booked the front row! And my oh my am I so lucky! Naturally 7 is truly one of a kind. They are truly...something else, something new, fresh and exciting. As soon as they performed half of their first song; hundreds flock into the area, mesmerised by their performance. It was sick and out of this world! I ran out of words to describe the beauty of their performances. Seeing their videos in YouTube is one thing; actually watching it live is....wowwwww. I left the stage after performance, with such a joyful feeling. I am so looking forward to seeing their live performances in Malaysia again! (please please come again..you know how crazy we are about you, can;t you hear us screaming with joy?haha)

We left Sunburst, feeling satisfied (in a nutshell) and head for a late supper. So, was it worth the money? Well, if you ask me, since I bought the early bird ticket, which cost me RM150 bucks, seeing Nidji and Naturally 7 was all worth it. But, if I have to pay more, I would think a few times before actually buying it. 300 bucks, in my opinion is a bit too much for that acts lined up for this year. Korn was OK (as expected from a hardcore rock band). N.E.R.D was not bad either (according to my cousin's feedback). But the rest, is just...common, something you can really see without actually going to Sunburst. Anyway, I think Pineapple Concerts did a good job, given the economic slowdown this time around. So, kudos to you guys.

Till the next post...Oh, pics will be updated later. So stay tune! Peace!
