First time i saw Bruno mars on stage, live at Singapore National Stadium
It was crazy and unbelievable. One time i was a little girl who sat and daydreaming about living my best life with his songs, and now i get the chance to see him live on stadium.

The Ticket Dilemma! Everything seems so impossible until i experienced it all by my self... anyway, we spent around $300 for CAT 4 tickets, and i was actually pretty excited because we got Row AA. In my head, i thought we’d be much closer to Bruno since it wasn’t the cheapest tier, but reality hit once we got to our seats. The National Stadium is just massive. Even in Row AA he still looked very very tiny from where we were sitting.
I’ll be honest part of me really regretted not just getting the Standing Festival ticket. I know the festival pen is absolute chaos (cuz you’re literally skin-to-skin with thousands of strangers), but the vibes down there looked unmatched. There’s something about being in the middle of that crowd, jumping and feeling the bass in your chest, that you just can't get from a seat. Plus if i seat there maybe i could've actually seen Bruno's pore clearly right?????
But then again, maybe my feet are happy i didn't choose the standing pen, especially considering the trek to the Metro afterward....... crazy

He was cute and all (per usual) and i came for his 2nd performance on Singapore. He started the show wearing a red dragon pattern shirt, with his cute curly hair and that classy style of his. His first song was 24K Magic. He was crazy energetic, and i was yelling, i couldn't stop dancing. But deep inside, i knew my heart rate was about to race because i couldn't help but cry my eyes out (excuse the expression).
Why cry? because its Bruno Mars. Some people might think Bruno Mars concert is not cry-able rather than Taylor's concert, but for me its whose songs that's gonna remind you of your home, childhood memory and good old days (especially in high school) moments. So Bruno Mars is basically filled all his songs into my memories and creating a tiny room so i could actually play it everytime i want to re-open the past memories.
It wasn’t just a concert, it was a time machine bringing me back to the past. As the night went on every beat of the drum and every high note he hit unlocked another door in my tiny room. When he slowed things down, i swear for a moment it felt like just him and me (and maybe some other ppl).
And then when he switched it up, bringing that signature funk that forces literally everyone to wipe the tears and just dance. Crazyyyy. Seeing him glide across the stage with the Hooligans, seeing that smile that i’ve only ever seen on screens... it was surreal.
One minute we were all "Hooligans" losing it to Treasure and Runaway Baby, and the next, he was leaning into the comedy by pretending to call girls. He even threw in some local comedy in Singapore like saying "miss you lah!" which obviously had the whole stadium screaming.
But the real standout was the piano medley. It was just Bruno, a piano, and thousands of people. He played Grenade, Talking to the Moon, and Nothin' on You. It felt like a soundtrack to my entire life played in ten minutes. By the time he got to When I Was Your Man, the stadium was a sea of flashlights and the vibe was CRAZY, like me. Tbh in this part its very hard for me to decide whether i should keep on recording or just focus on the performance..... The closure is that he switched back to that signature funk, forcing everyone to wipe their eyes and just dance to uptown funk and it was awesome...

| SOOOO Crowded at Metro |
Walking out of the Singapore National Stadium that night, my voice was gone, my feet hurt, and my makeup was gone lmao. The Metro was crazy and full of people as we tried to make our way to Stevens station... can you imagine? The crowding and the smell of people's sweat everywhere, ALL because of Bruno Mars. But that little girl who used to sit and daydream? She didn't care about the sweat or the crowd. She was the happiest she’s ever been.
To the little girl who dreamed of this moment: we made it. And it was more beautiful than you could have ever imagined.
