MUSE live


I was in the presence of rock gods.

I didn't care if I had to pay £10 more on ebay to get the ticket. It was all worth it. Muse was in Glasgow last night to play their new album, The 2nd Law, and other chart-topping hits, which made me a very happy fangirl. People around me apparently noticed my over excitement so they sort of backed up a bit for my friend and I to jump around.

This is one of the best nights in my life so far. I have been such a fan for a long time and to finally see them perform live had me ecstatic..or nearly in the state of 'nirvana'. No wonder they won the 2012 Q Awards for Best Act in the World Today. The energy from both musicians and the crowd were beautiful. The 'pyramid' screen was very cool. It goes upside down then gradually comes down and nearly consumes them which is breath taking.

I am such a happy bunny. Now that's one dream that came true.

Parliamo Glasgow

The light rain and strong winds drenched our moods a wee bit but we shrugged it all off when we finally got to Glasgow. During the bus ride, I kind of decided to go vegan when I saw that sheeps were being hauled inside a truck probably waiting for them to drop them at a slaughter house. *shudder* I had my plate full of salad and pastries for lunch instead. I'm trying to see how long I can keep this up. (For dinner, I had a quarter pounder at McDonald's *FACESLAP*)

Glasgow city centre has so much shops right across each other that it's almost impossible not to to go in and take a look. They have almost the same shops as Edinburgh's but what the latter lacks is Primark. It had my undivided attention and I was too confused where to even start, thus my shopping fever began. Damn this temptation to use my debit card!haha

I've noticed people wear too much black in Glasgow and the young people have awesome kicks with snazzy looking headphones. Their scottish accent is so heavy and as usual, un-decipherable. We had our Glaswegian accents ready but we didn't bother using it anymore. /glas-goo/

I wished we had more time to explore outside the city centre because I sneakily wanted to find the concert halls where all the big rock bands play. The O2 Academy and SECC are now on my list!

The next time we go back we're aiming for the 1 pound ticket. Yes, it's possible.
