(The stage where Colbie is performing)
The day before yesterday which is on the 14th March 2008 was a night to remember. Colbie Caillat pronounced "Kol-bee Kal-lei" a young singer hailed from Malibu - California currently at the age of 22 years old made her debut concert appearence at the Laundry, The Curve, Damansara, Kuala Lumpur. I first time saw her video clip appeared on tv few days ago for her hit single "Bubbly". She has a very beautiful voice similar to the like of Sheryl Crow. I manage to get 3 complimentary tickets to attend her concert.

The concert was scheduled to start by 8pm but it turn out to be later than we had expected as rain starts pouring at the area. People were searching for cover. Luckily me & my friends manage to take our shelter at the nearby restaurant. However, there are some so called "loyal-fans" still standing under the open sky & get themselves wet under the rain. Not to mentioned people who bring along umbrellas & rainjackets.

At around 8.30pm the DJs of the organizers of Hits.FM start to warm up the crowd by doing some games to win prizes of Colby Caillat's CDs & posters. I've got her CD already so there's no need for me to get wet for another. By 9.15pm the sky starts to clear. I manage to get near to the stage. It was a long wait for her to come to the stage. Finally Colbie & her bodyguard arrived at around 9.30pm. I manage to get near her & took some picture of her & her band.

It was a beautiful performance by Colbie that night. She sang about 8 songs of the total 12 songs produced for her debut Coco album. There's also Hitz.FM winner named Prima (might spelled wrongly) who manage to sing along Colbie on the stage. Woah! She's 1 lucky girl! I think every other Malaysian would be very jealous of her because just how many people who manage to sing side-by-side with an international artise?

Her concert finally come to an end around 10.30-11pm. Next is the authograph session with the fans. What really pisses me off here is that no fans are allowed to take any pictures with her! I should have taken a picture with her earlier. FYI, Malaysia has a very bad reputation as a country to have a fan-artist session. This not only happen to Colbie's concert but all other concert too! Arrogant organizers! The same thing happen to the Sunburst concert held on the 15th of March (yesterday).
(The signed CD album :-p )
Anyway, it took me 15mins on the queing line to finally meet meet her face to face. She signed my copy of her album Coco. I must say she's a very beautiful lady. She has a beautiful pair of green eyes & a wide smile that i cant just stop staring. She's a very humble & down to earth lady who deals with her fans very well. After having a moment with her i head to the exit of the signing area. I'm so happy that i attended her concert. Later that night me & my friends have a drink at Rasta & few hours later at Hartamas just to ease the hype that we've gone through. It was certainly a memorable night that will never be delete from my memory.
