The Year of Jacky Cheung World Tour 07

Last night was the night I have been waiting for so long (besides the Amei concert) - Jacky Cheung's concert!!!!!!

But what happened before the concert really spoilt our mood.
01. Dear got a parking summon.
02. We had a quarrel in the car. (because of the summon)
03. We could not find a parking lot at Indoor Stadium. (Dear had to park at Tanjong Rhu and I waited for him at the entrance for around 20 minutes.)
04. We were late for the concert and missed the opening for around 5 minutes.

Thankfully, I was not familiar with the opening song, so I guess I did not miss out a lot. As soon as we got into the concert, our anger was totally appeased. Jacky Cheung is really powerful!!!!! No fanciful choreography. Just a magnificient vocal. And a great humour. But of course there were songs where dancers were around, especially for fast songs. He can just stand alone on stage without any dancers and he and the audience can still be very high. Every song sounded like it was played from the CD or something. He can jump, turn, bend down or kick his leg to his face but his singing remains un-disrupted. Not forgetting he is already 46 years old (and put on weight liao) and he can still sing and dance around like that. POWER!!!!!

The best part was the extract of the Xue Lang Hu musical. Why didn't I go for Xue Lang Hu that time?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? *stabs* (cos I was broke?) I think either my mouth was open throughout the concert or my eyebrows were frowning as his voice was simply too overwhelming. The other best part was the encore. (there were alot of best parts in this concert) The concert lasted for around 2 hours before the encore and I was thinking, "Isen't the concert 3 hours long?" Yes, the other 1 hour was for the encore which was amazing as a typical encore session will usually end after a few songs. All the songs sang were the classic ones, those that we always hear in KTV.

Everyone was so high during the encore except for the one sitting on my left. Another guy who was accompanying his girlfriend who likes Jacky Cheung. I really hate to sit with someone like that. And the one on my right who kept singing along with Jacky, was kind of disrupting me from listening to Jacky's properly. haiz.. And there were people who left before the concert ended, most probably they needed to rush for the last train or they did not want to be stuck in the jam later. Waste of money right?

After singing for around 3 hours, I was thinking, "When will <<想和你去吹吹風>> be sung?" And yes, he finally sang it!!!! The second last song of the night. Then for the final song, it was <<朋友>>. It really reminded me of the St. John Inspection Night when all of us sang this song as our farewell song. Tears welled up my eyes as I was too touched. My goosepimples came out too. (or because it was very cold and I needed to pee) Everyone was singing along with Jacky and it was indeed a great song to end the concert. A spectacular concert which lasted for almost 4 hours. A worthy spent!!!! But my ears were ringing after the concert.

And it was the usual phototaking session after the concert ended. Kinda regreted not buying the first-class seats. It would have been so much nicer to see him sing upclose and personal as compared to watching the screens. But at least I was able to listen to him sing live for once. Heard that this may be his last world tour concert. There was a time when people said he was so 'over' and was not as popular as before. Then he said, "As long as there are people listening to my singing, even if there is only one person below the stage, I will still sing for him." Don't worry Jacky, there is more than one. The whole Indoor Stadium was filled with your supporters loh. Jacky, keep on singing k?

歌神,我永遠支持你!!!!!!

New Year Countdown Party

The Swiss gang decided to have spice up our gatherings for once by setting a theme to the 2008 countdown party at Sicong's house. Since it was our first theme party, we decided to have something easy to start with - Uniform!!!!!!

School Uniforms
The outfit did not have to be one that you have wore before, one can put together anything as long as it looks like an uniform of any kind. Surprisingly, I can still fit into my Swiss uniform but I replaced the top with a long sleeve as I couldn't find the old one. In the end, most of us turned up in school uniforms. Some in our previous school uniforms and some even made the effort to go buy a set i.e. Wenyao & Zhengyi (Princess Elizabeth Primary School i.e. their Primary school) and Sicong & Zeming (Clementi Town Secondary School cos cheapest). But it was quite a pleasant surprise that all of us except Yorklin, were so sporting. I was actually expecting quite a number would be spoilers.






Couples
It was quite fun to see a few couples in uniform too.
01. Wenyao and Zhengyi (Princess Elizabeth Primry School)
02. Dear and I (Swiss Cottage Secondary School)
03. Ernest and Yingshan (Medic and Doctor)
04. Dear and Xiujiao (The Old Flames cos Dear is always saying that she is his ex-gf.)






Possession of the "Obi" glasses
The best props were the 'obi' glasses and stethoscope that Yingshan brought. Almost everyone seem to be obsessed with them and was 'possessed' when they wore them, especially the glasses. But Dear and Sicong had the best expressions while in those glasses, as usual.






Bengs
Then there was another group of people who were trying so hard to fulfill their childhood dream of becoming a beng. At the same time, they were tarnishing the reputation of the school which they bought the uniform from. haiz.... One of them even thought he could go gothic by putting on a black tie and ring and not forgetting the dark eye make-up with my help. Wasted almost a quarter of my eyeliner man. Got to restock my make-up liao.






SAF uniform
To fulfill Kim Seng's another fetish, all the guys brought an extra set of costume i.e. the SAF uniform. Actually it wasn't that bad of an idea to have a photograph of all the guys in the same SAF uniform. (except for Dear who was in Navy but he looked like the commander.) Xiujiao and I were the "hua chi" who joined in the fun too.






Group photo
For once, our group photos had a fresh change. It always the same place, same background and same people. God knows which gathering was it when we looked at the photos. As usual, it took us around half an hour to get the first picture taken and another half an hour to finish posing for several futile shots.






Countdown
Finally, it was the countdown. I got a cheese cake from Secret Recipe which most of them said the cheese portion wasn't as nice compared to the chocolate mousse on it. I shall just get the normal cream cake next time. And note the strawberries which were added on as the cake was too dull. It looked so much nicer with the additions. We were tuning to Channel 5 and we countdown with many others who were in Vivocity!!!! But it took us quite long to blow the candles as everyone was simply too shy. In the end, someone suggested that we stand a distance away from the cake and blow them together. (to prevent too much saliva on the cake) Good idea. Everyone had their fair share.



It was really a great way to start the new year. No squeezing. No sweat. No loud music. Just great company. We should have more of such theme parties. And with alcohol next time too. hee...Happy New Year!!!!!!
