1. "OMG OMG Malaysia?! Sure it's not Singapore??"

I can't believe [The Script](http://says.com/my/entertainment/the-script-will-be-in-malaysia-for-the-first-time-here-s-all-we-know-so-far) is going to breathe the same air as me!

How am I gonna see [Ed Sheeran](http://says.com/my/entertainment/ed-sheeran-will-be-giving-malaysia-some-love-next-year) now?!

5. Desperately search the Internet and listen to the radio for contests and giveaways

You might just be lucky enough to score some free tickets and backstage passes to meet your favourite artiste *in person*!

6. Take leave or skip school to queue up early on the day of the concert

Some fans are probably staying overnight just to get close enough to the stage and (*gasp*) [Taeyang](http://says.com/my/entertainment/all-rise-vips-taeyang-s-first-ever-world-tour-is-coming-to-malaysia) *oppa*!

7. Make sure phones, tablets and power banks are fully charged

Double check, triple check, and check again. No moment shall go unrecorded.

8. Wish you were one of the fans who scored meet-and-greet passes

What I wouldn't give to meet Ed Sheeran in person. (*sighs melodramatically*)

9. Protect your spot in the queue like a mother hen guards her chicks. DO NOT EVEN THINK OF CUTTING THE LINE, YE MORTALS!

10. "Bouncer PLEASE DON'T CONFISCATE MY MINERAL WATER!"

11. RACE TO THE FRONT LIKE USAIN BOLT after ushers tear your ticket stub!

12. Constantly checking your watch because five minutes feels like an hour!

The loooooong wait for the concert to begin is an ultimate test of patience, especially after the opening acts have finished their set. The wait in-between is THE ABSOLUTE WORST.

13. But all is forgiven when your idol(s) FINALLY appear on stage!

14. Your legs turn to jelly when the lead singer winks at you. Perasan la konon…

15. There is no better feeling of unity than when the singer leads the crowd on a massive sing-a-long

16. The band throws guitar picks and towels to the crowd, but your bad luck makes sure none of it reaches you

17. Spend whatever money you have left on official merch to commemorate the best day of your life
