Year of Jackie!

Jackie Cheung was in town on 14 September 2007 for the Malaysia leg of his world tour and we were there! The concert was scheduled to start at 8:30pm but due to heavy traffic to Bukit Jalil, we were late and only reached the stadium at about 8:45pm. From the outside, we already heard the roars of the concert goers. The concert had started on time! We rushed in as it begun to rain. Once inside the stadium, it was very chaotic as everyone was moving about looking for their seats. Jackie was already there on stage singing! Finally, we found our "VIP" seats, easily 30-40 rows from the stage. Though we were far, we sat there to enjoy the concert from afar. Songs after songs, Jackie wow the crowd, from his evergreen songs, to his current songs, to his favorite songs, to his plays; he sang them all with passion. The show was supposed to end about 11:00pm when the concert goers refused to leave, and chanted, "ENCORE! JACKIE! JACKIE!........". Hearing the chants of his fans, Jackie finally emerged and sang for another hour. After performing for close to 3 1/2 hours, the concert finally ended at about 12 midnight. We later found out there were more than 30,000 people attended the concert that night!
