Sungha's Concert in KL

Yes, I went to Sungha's concert yesterday!

I got VIP tickets, so I got a free pre-autographed "Monologue" album of his and a chance to stand beside him and take a picture. He's Asian Slenderman, alright. Long fingers and a super skinny body, he's only missing the faceless head, the suit and the tentacles!
Actually I got two photo chances, the organizer dude said that if we are not satisfied with our picture we are allowed to get a second shot. So I did.

His concert started with Agustin Amigo's guest performance (which I forgot the tracks he played... But he was pretty good.) and then his. He started off with "First Step" and then he went on with "Sunset in Paris", along with "Flaming".
He played it with his acoustic guitar instead because... Well he had a luggage, a ukulele and two guitars on board and he can't bring a third baritone guitar considering Dee (his manager) had his/her own luggage too... So the song sounded in G major instead of a slightly lower D major. But honestly, Sungha, you should have uploaded the song with your acoustic guitar. Or perhaps it was merely my G major addiction I always had.

Then he performed "The Milky Way". I. Finally. Get. To. See. Him. Perform. This. Song. Live.
And he left the stage for an intermission with "Sprint".

He came back with his "Ookooulleillei", which I spelled it that way according to his obsessive lisp (I think) when he speaks.
"Okay... Uhh... I brought my ookooulleillei, as you can see (lifts his ookooulleillei)... You know what is a ookooulleillei? (Audience: Yes!) Yeah uh... This is an ookooulleillei and it sounds...  really funny. Yeah. *plucks a few notes and laughs with the audience*"
He played "Let It Go" and "Hotel California" before he moved on with his guitar pieces again. I kind of forgot which pieces he played after "Felicity", but I'm pretty sure "Libertango" by Kotaro Oshio and "Thriller" by Michael Jackson (That creaking noise he made was really hilarious) was in the list in my charging phone, and he ended ("I'll be waiting at the back for your encore, ahahahahahahaha") with his highlight, "Why Georgia". In case you don't know why, you're not a Sungha fan if you don't know this is literally the only song he SUNG throughout his concerts, hardly ever heard of him singing other songs during tours.

Encore, of course, were two duets between Sungha and Agustin, "Video Killed the Radio Star" and "With or Without You", both Agustin's arrangements. They said a lot of things during this session, but I totally forgot them all because... Well, I have the worst memory ever.

It was just cute how he just literally thanked everyone after his piece ended, and then he starts looking at his song list and starts tuning his guitar for the next number. But what was utmost adorable is how he'd start introducing his next song with "Okay. Uhh.". Keeyoot, I tell you. Keeyoot.

And then something devastating happened during the lucky draw for the RM1800 guitar which I don't want to mention because I jsut want to hang myself whenever I think of it.

So that day, I've retrieved five autographed albums: two "Monologue", one "Paint It Acoustic" and one "The Duets" and so did I let him touch my super awkward looking "Ookooulleillei". Others had really professional looking ones, and then Sungha stared at mine for a second (probably thinking "that's one not-professional-looking ookooulleillei") before he signed it.

Didn't look the way I actually wanted it to be, but I don't really care anymore. I'm going to cuddle it every day since Sungha touched it for ten seconds. So bringing my guitar the next time I go to his concert.
