They were invited for a night's performance in conjunction with the F1 racing event. On site it was called the Twin Tower @live 2012 event. I remember it being a last minute confirmation thingy and the stage wasn't even fully completed the night before... so here it is me taking pics of the stage the night before the performance the next day.
The next day, at lunchtime, I went over with my friend to check out the scene. And under the hot sun there was already a big group of fans sitting there and queuing, trying to get the best space to stand. Due to me working, obviously I'll be at a greatly disadvantageous position when I attend the event later.
See how sunny and hot it really is?
Some fanmade posters/banners. Dedication!

After work when I went there, the crowd had grown enormous and it's virtually impossible to get close to the stage anymore. Furthermore, the crowd barricades are positioned in a pretty useless way and there's no getting round to it unless you buy a rockzone ticket or squeeze in with sweaty ppl.
It was only 6.15pm and the performance is not due to start for another 2hrs yet. And ppl had been queuing since 1pm. Crazy much?
It wasn't even their own concert...just a 'special appearance' ppl...

In the end, I settled somewhere on the outskirts where I could at least see the screen. Lolz.
Waited for 2hrs and the show hadn't started yet. The girls are late...
So when the hosts started the show, ppl started thinking that SNSD is abt to come out and in a moment of desperation they pushed and broke the barricade down and rushed forward., filling the space there.
Look at them! See how crazy these ppl are just to get a glimpse of the girls. I thought the organising is very bad especially the area for ppl to stand.
Anyway, the girls came out around 9pm and sang for half an hour that's it. About 6 songs. Some talking. Melted everyone's hearts. Went off. Lol!
This was what's behind me right after their performance ended.
Dispersing and going home is so difficult because of the human traffic. Lol.
I actually went over to the side where the girls will be leaving the arena. It's basically human sandwich time and I can only see the tops of their heads as they walked by. Nevertheless, it's great knowing they were so close to me! :D
And that is how the LRT looks like when it's time to go home. Thank goodness for my Touch N' Go!
