![]() Forget any Halloween-related parties, but correct me please if I’m wrong here. And I believe this was the first supernatural-themed concert held in a grand way in Singapore. But then again, the topic of the supernatural has always been a fascinating and intriguing one in our community so it was no surprise that even without big names to grace the event, the theme itself guaranteed bums on the lush green grass of the venue. I have never seen a local concert filled with just local acts get such a positive response as this. We were allowed in at about 6:20pm and it was a sight to behold seeing the area being filled to its brim. I was fortunate enough to get a parking lot as a vehicle had moved off just as I was nearing it. When I reached the venue close to 6pm, a long queue had formed outside the entrance. ![]() This popularity was very much evident on the day of the concert, when 6000-odd fans thronged the lush lawns of the Fort Canning Park. The show is such a hit that to have a concert was a good way to show the station’s appreciation to the fans. I know how popular it is just by looking at the number of emails received by fans of the programme who shared their personal experiences, a bulk of them coming from across the Causeway, as well as as far away as the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, even Dubai. Even when there were occasions he was not feeling well, he soldiered on, or came back just to do the two hour programme, its popularity spreading across the world with the availability of internet radio and via radio applications on smart phones. KC has done such a fantastic job to lift the quality standards of the programme to the point that his occasional absences through leave or sickness is lamented by fans on the station’s official Facebook page Wall. ![]() Speaking as the co-administrator of the official blog of the said programme, I have witnessed first hand how the show has evolved since he took over the helm some four years ago from the previous incumbent Zan Sofiyan. I have been delaying this particular entry for the fact that I have been quite busy, to the point I was reminded to post this entry as soon as possible by none other than the creative mind behind the success of the most highly rated programme on the radio station, none other than DJ KC himself. ![]() But the night of rest did me good as I welcomed 2012 by attending the RIA 897FM-organised “ Konsert Misteri Jam 12: Jangan Takut Hantu” event held at Fort Canning Park on the first day of the new Gregorian calendar. ![]() I was happily relaxing and watching the show from the comfort of home, and I would have probably gone had my favourite team not played that night. For regular readers of this blog, I know this comes as a massive surprise to you, but no, I was not at The Float Marina Bay for Countdown 2012, even though one of my favourite singers, Dato’ Siti Nurhaliza, was performing on my 33rd birthday. ![]()
