S.H.E concert

First time going to a concert in 2007...
First time going to a concert by a pop group...
First time going to a concert where the singers are very much younger than me...

Oh 第一次我.......

Quite a fun concert last nite! These 3 小妹妹 very bubbly and 可爱, and their singing & dancing not bad too! And their 合音 very very nice!! Because there are 3 people to watch, the concert was more interesting. Plus their stage was a 三面台, so can see them all the time. Dun really like 四面台 cos it gets very boring when the singer is at the other 3 sides of the stage.

Special guests? 飞轮海 and surprise guest 孙燕姿.

Muz say that the audience was fantastic man! Everybody was screaming and jumping throughout the entire show! I bought the cheapest tix for the last few concerts I attended, and usually it's quite boring sitting at the back, cos everyone is shy and tame, so will feel paiseh to scream and jump around. But for this concert, the entire stadium was on their feet and waving their 银光棒 (err did i write the chinese words correctly?) all the time. Very good atmosphere!

Pity AM and me didn't manage to buy any 银光棒 cos we were late!! Caught in the huge traffic jam on the way to the stadium. Reasons for the jam?
1) sold out S.H.E concert
2) sold out Asean Football Championship semi-finals at the National Stadium (Singapore vs Malaysia, which Singapore won, by the way. Ole Ole Ole Ole..... Ole Ole!!)

Think there were about 60,000 people at Kallang last night. The jam after the concert was equally bad cos both events ended at about the same time. Left Kallang only after mid-night.

Anyway, was pretty deaf by the end of the concert cos they juz upgraded the sound system at the Indoor Stadium. Super loud!! But enjoyed the concert. Though can't beat the most fun concert I attended so far - Karen Mok's 好莫文蔚 Singapore concert in 2001. That was THE BEST!!

Babies & Hip Hop

Attended BL's baby's first month party last sunday at her condo, then MY's baby's first month party at CSC today. 2 first month parties in 2 weeks. So many babies!!

Met up with HS on bus 130 (she took bus from AMK, and I boarded near my house), and arrived at CSC at about 10:30am. Of coz got 'scolded' by MY for being late (We were supposed to reach there at 10am). Then helped with the decorations. JD & AGL were the creative directors. We pumped many balloons (manual pump hor) and put up banners and streamers. Muz say the place looked pretty good after we were done at abt 11:30am. Pity forgot to take photo :(

Stayed on at CSC after the baby party cos had Hip Hop class. Yes finally!! The class stopped for many many months. 20 over people signed up this time. Of cos our old kakis were all back, and instructor KR is still the same! Hopefully classes will not stop again. Looking forward to classes the next few weeks! :)

The Dark Side of Asian Cinema

Went for this talk by Hong Kong actor Francis Ng 吴镇宇 at the National Library today. Had to wake up rather early for a Saturday cos the talk started at 12pm. Anyways, managed to reach there at 11:55am, and there was a long queue waiting to go in. Luckily we had registered oredi. But had to sit at the back cos there were already many people in front.

Realised that Francis Ng is quite a chim guy. Was talking about very chim stuff about the movies. Guess it had to be chim since the topic of the talk was "Directing Asia Series: Insights to Asian Cinema. Crime: The Dark Side of Asian Cinema". But he said something which was simple yet profound... In order for something to be seen as good, there has to be a dark side to bring out the good. This applies to movies, people, food and everything. Makes a lot of sense... Had me thinking hard there for a while ;)

Some photos of the event:









The view from the POD (Level 16) of the National Library. Dunno wat POD stands for, but it's not usually opened to the public. So check out the view from up there:







By the way, it's my first visit to the National Library since it opened!! :)

Pillow Talk

Sigh... super long weekend over so fast..... back to work today...

Anyways, was at J8 yesterday and Seiyu was having a sale on bedding stuff. Been thinking that my pillow is a little too flat lately, so decided to check out the pillows.

Spotted a big, fluffy and comfy looking pillow selling for only $9.60, and a feather filled firm pillow for $12. In the end decided to buy the fluffy comfy looking pillow cos it looks (yup, u guessed it) sooo comfy!

Went to bed pretty early last nite - cos had to work today, and also couldn't wait to try the comfy pillow. Ended up staring at the ceiling for half a nite... thinking about a meeting today, and also cos pillow was too high... 原来 I need flat pillow to sleep... Ended up using my old pillow instead. Now have to find some way to flatten my new pillow... zzz...

Happy New Year

HAPPY NEW YEAR!! =)

Hmm... My new year resolution... to keep my desk at home and at office neat and tidy. Haha! Sounds simple right? But for those who have seen my desks..... you'll know it's an uphill task to clear them up first... Wish me luck!
