After waited for 8 years since the last show that has been cancelled in 2007, The British rock band has finally set a live show in Thailand, in support of their latest album “Drones” (2015).

Before the show start, it rained pretty hard and of cause… traffic jam. I thought was gonna be late for the show so I decided to take a motorcycle taxi which is a WRONG DECISION. By the time I got to the arena I got soaked to the skin. It was TERRIBLE. I arrived there about 19.45 pm. The arena was filled with Muse’s fans, wearing black shirt.

When I got inside the hall, I was in zone  A, standing zone, the stage was right in front of me. The fans waited until 20.30 pm., the Los Angeles indie band, The Ruse shown up, opening the show.

The Ruse

The fans started to feel displeased because it’s almost 21.30 pm. already but Muse still hasn’t shown up. People started to fill in the hall, probably almost 10,000 people.  And here’s come the time that all of us have waited for, the light went off, the LED screen alit with the scene from their music video, Psycho. Fans started to scream real hard, and then Matt Bellamy (singer/ guitarist), Chris Wolstenholme (bassist), Dominic Howard (drummer) shown up on the stage. Fans (including me) started to jump, scream, shout and sing like crazy. I don’t really know what’s going on anymore.

Matt

When the third song; Plug in Baby came up, it’s like everybody in the hall stood up even the in sitting zone. I still can’t believe that I got a chance to hear this song in live! Followed by the hits from old and new albums, such as Resistance, Dead Inside, Interlude, Hysteria etc.I almost die screaming, jumping and headbanging at the same time. I couldn’t catch my breath!

Chris

After many fast tracks, Matt took down the guitar and took piano for the song Feeling good. And continue slow the show down with Madness – Me and my friends favorite!

Adrenaline revved up after they brought up the hits on the stage, Supper Massive Black Hole and Time is Running Out. What a great energy!

Then Starlight (my another favorite!) Many people has turned on their flashlight. And to entertain the fans, the band has released big black balloons.  Then the last song Uprising before they got back backstage.

They return for an encore with Mercy and Knights of Cydonia, perfectly ended this powerful and unforgettable show.

During the show I could feel how happy the crowd was. We jumped. We sang. We screamed our hearts out. They made me know what the real entertainer are, even though Muse barely spoke with the crowd — beside “สวัสดีครับ” (Sa-Was-Dee-Krab = Hello), ”ขอบคุณครับ”(Khob-Khun-Krab = Thank You), and .”คุณเยี่ยมมาก (Khun-Yearm-Mak = You’re Great)” , but I felt real entertained by their music, their instrument and their energy. I believe that everyone in the hall can feel it and wish that night would last forever.

I can say that this is the BEST CONCERT I’ve ever been to! And I would love to be there over and over again.

The Reasons Why People Love Music

Image

Music has no boundaries and it is universal, no matter what languages, ages, races or wherever people are from, we all got a passion for music. Music can easily get into our heart by many reasons. First of all, music relieves stress. It can clam people down and help people deal with their bad moods. Music can be a perfect vehicle whenever you want to escape from reality. What you have to do is just turn on a music engine and let it drives you away. Music is the greatest medicine that heals people’s hearts. It will make people feel like they are not alone, and they are not the only one who feels this way. It can also encourage people. Moreover, music can even save many people’s lives from committing suicide and help them get through the hardest times. Another magical thing about music is that it can bring back memories. When you listen to the song you have listened in the past, it will help you to recall the long lost memories, happiness, joyful or painful moments, or remind you of some people through that music. Many of the songs were written from songwriters or singers’ experiences, and sometimes they cause a great impact on someone’s life. The song gives them hope and has inspired them to change themselves or start doing something. There are ton of reasons why people love music which one paragraph would not be enough to describe all of them.

Being White Versus Being Colored

Discrimination is a problem that occurs in every corner of the world. There are tons of people out there in this world who are judged by their appearances or their races and suffered from the cruel ways people treat them. However, I will show you that there are no differences between colored people and white people. First of all, both white and colored people have exact the same amount of organs and chromosome numbers. Colored people do have feelings such as love, hatred, loneliness, heartbreaking emotion just like white people. Similar to white people, colored people also have hopes and dreams. Moreover, both of them have the right to vote, the ability to work and to do things equally. At last, the main similarity and the most important thing between white people and colored people is that they both are human beings. Therefore, things that separate any kind of people from people are not appearances, colors, nor races, but narrow minds.

My Must-Visit Destination

At a second I have seen the picture of this gorgeous place, I told myself that I have to go and see Glendalough with my own eyes before I die. Glendalough is an attractive historical glacial valley, located in County Wicklow, Ireland. Glendalough is also one of the most famous tourist attractions in Ireland. It is surrounded by 13-century roman churches, towers, and small villages which mostly made of stone. Nevertheless, what made I fell in love with this place is not the buildings but the nature and the view around Glendalouge. The main color you can see in Glendalouge is Green; green of grasses, green of mountains and green of trees all around this place. There are gorgeous lakes which are as clear as mirror, reflecting the sky. I do not know about the weather. However, according to a picture of its view and reviews on the internet, the air must be really refreshing. I always picture myself sitting there under a tree with a soft green grass as a cushion and the beautiful lake in front of me.  This marvelous moment must be the most peaceful moment of my life. If you are looking for a heaven on earth, I recommend you Glendalough. You will certainly fall in love with this charming place.

The Scariest Experience in My Life

I have heard a lot of ghost stories, but I have never thought that one day I would face it myself. This story happened when I was an eighth grade student at Chonkanyanukoon School. On that day I had class on the sixth floor at the eighth building. After the class my friends and I decided to hang out in a hallway because it was very windy on the highest floor. There was no one around the hallway except us. We sat in circle and someone has begun the topic of ghost story. Once there was a rumor that somebody has encountered a ghost on this building. Moreover, the floor that a ghost has been found was the same floor as the floor we were at that moment. We all listened to the story silently. Suddenly, we smelled an unusual scent; a scent of Utaitip medicine, which girls use to make their lips red. We were all in shock, and we looked at each other faces. Our faces turned pale. A second later, we ran and screamed dreadfully. In the middle of this little chaos, someone shouted, “Stop! Stop! It is me, it is me who is using utaitip.” We all stopped and stared at the speaker. She was holding an utaitip bottle and her lip was red! We all started to laughed so hard. This story surely has been noted as an unforgettable experience. We still laugh so hard whenever we talk about it.     

How to Make Lasting Friendships

            Making friend is easy, but what is harder is keeping them. First thing that every good friend needs is sincerity, do not be friend with people just because you want to use them or you want something from them like money. Always be yourself because true friends can accept who you are. Second thing that a good friendship need is trust; whenever your friends need someone to talk to, always be there for them and never reveal your friend’s secret or talk behind their back. In addition, always apologize when you know you have made mistakes and learn to forgive when your friends have made mistakes. Lastly, the most important is to always be by their sides through good and bad times together. Always willing to reach out your hand to them whenever they fall. If you can follow all these steps your friendships will surely last forever. 

Modern Inventions

rrffffModern inventions have impacted the way we used to live. For example, the invention like smartphones can shorten the distance between you and your loved one that far apart. However, it seems that the one that are closer to you are drifting apart. People today have started to ignore the ones in front of them and their surroundings because they only look at their phone screens. Moreover, the modern invention also makes people more lazy and impatient. It is true that the inventions do make thing more comfortable and easier for people, but sometimes they get used to being so comfortable that they cannot do things on their own anymore and give up so easily. For instance, most people do not know how to cook from scratch anymore because it is easier to buy food that you can just put it in a microwave. Afterwards, you only wait for three-four minutes and then DING! It is done! Albert Einstein said, ” I fear the day that technology will surpass our human interaction. The world will have a generation of idiots.” According to a famous quote, it does not say technology is a harmful thing, it depends on how we use it, if we use it wisely, then this quote will not mean a thing.
