Ku Mou Fei Yeung

As I mentioned in my previous post, I went back last weekend solely for the 'Ku Mou Fei Yeung' concert held at the Bukit Jalil Indoor Stadium. It was titled that because according to Leo Ku (Kui Kei), he was going to do the dancing and Miriam Yeung (Chin Wah) was going to fly in the stadium. But she didn't fly, not even at the end of the show. What a joke...

Anyway, the last concert I attended was David Tao's concert, two years back. So, I was quite hyped up for this one.

The stage was quite a turn off. Not much for design or deco. Even the video cameras were positioned badly. When the band members were introduced, some of their backs were showed instead of faces. I mean, I know they are not the frontman, but they could at least gain some respect during role call. Poor lads...

Throughout the concert, there were a whole lot of dancers. I couldn't help but notice during one of Leo Ku's rendition, there was a dancer dressed in a super long robe with gold balloons tied to it. I thought at the end of the song or during the peak of it, the balloons were going to come off and add to the atmosphere or something. But it didn't. Another dancer carried the end of the robe and the both of them just kept circling at a corner of the stage. How interesting...

For the main stars that night, Leo Ku and Miriam Yeung did quite a good job. The echo in the stadium was apparent, but both of them didn't let us down. Sometimes the music over powered them, especially for Miriam, but they carried on professionally even when there were screeching sounds from the speakers. It was sad though, when we couldn't really hear much of their conversation. I could barely make out the few words to try understand what they were saying when speaking to the crowd.

I enjoyed myself overall. First time attending a concert with five of my ex-schoolmates. We made a whole lot of noise, it was a wonder the people seated in front of us didn't whack us. I definately screamed my lungs out. "Chin Wah!!!!" "Kei Zhai!!!!"

Our screaming paid off when Miriam took off her ear piece to listen to the crowd. Some people in the crowd started to request for a song. Pui Mun, Karen and I reacted quickly and started chanting 'Mou Lai' (a song title sung by Miriam's ex). "Mou Lai! Mou Lai! Mou Lai!" And in a short while, the entire stadium was begging her to sing that song. Hahaha~ I don't know if we really started the chant, but it seemed that way. The best thing was, Miriam actually sang a short part of that song spontaneously since everyone insisted. Quite a sport!

They had a guest performance by a new guy named Justin. Not too bad. He had everyone bring out their mobile phones as lights('ying guong pang') and the effect was wonderful. It felt as though I was sitting amidst a sea of stars. So dreamy...

Kudos to Leo Ku especially when he sang his 10 minutes plus song 'Gheng Kor Gam Khuk'. It was like a huge karaoke sing-along-session. He must be proud of us. Hahaha~

This is like the longest post I have to date. Oh well, that tells you how much I actually enjoyed it. Next up, David Tao's concert in May! Hopefully I can make it.

Gone for a while...

Didn't mean to stay away for so long. I was away for almost a week and then went back to KL for the Leo Ku & Miriam Yeung concert. Very short and rushed trip. Solely for the concert.

I'll talk about the concert when I am more awake. My brains are like half shutting down and on standby mode already. I don't even know why I came online.

*Pauses to think*

Head starts to swing from side to side and front to back.

*Ish* Almost nodded off there. I really don't know why I'm online. The memory loss thing is hitting me again. I think I should log off before I fall alseep in front of my laptop. Goodnite people...

Memory Loss

I know memory loss comes with age and time. I hate to admit it, but I seriously think I am suffering from it. Friends and family who talk to me often would know what I'm crapping about.

Maybe its hereditary. My grandma has it. She can ask me a question this minute, and repeat the same question in another five minutes as though she had not asked it before. My condition is not that bad, but I'm sure if I have signs of it now, memory loss is going to hit me faster than I expect it.

Whenever I talk to anyone, just as long as I am distracted by something I see or hear, I can just stone there and lost what I had to say.

For example:

Me: So...(about to ask a question)
Mandy: (handphone rings and answers it)

*Conversation paused*

Mandy: Yeah? You were saying?
Me: .......(stoned) I can't remember what I wanted to ask you.
Mandy: -.-'''

You see, in the conversation, a normal person would have repeatedly have the question swimming in his or her head while the friend answers her phone. And when the phone conversation ends, a normal person would still remember what he or she wanted to ask.

I think I should stop hating gingko nuts and eat more of it. *Fingers crossed*

Coffee~

Ah Tan: Would you like a cup of coffee?

Me: I don't drink coffee.

Ah Tan: Oh yea. I forgot. Why don't you drink coffee?

Me: Isn't life already bitter? Why do you have to make it worse for yourself?

Ah Tan: ........

Me: ^.^ \/

Heartache...

My laptop decided to take a break without notifying me in advance.

So, it left me watching VCDs for a week.

Now its back and working. But it decided to dispose some of my good memories during its leave and therefore, I can't find those favourite files of mine no matter what. I should've learnt my lesson the first time.

All gone. All gone...

*sigh*

Missing Home...

Just got back a few hours ago from KL. The place I call home and spent my CNY for this year.

I MISS HOME already...

I hate the feeling when I leave to come back Singapore. No matter how many times I have to go through it, that miserable feeling manages to creep back without fail each time. Ya ya, I know I wrote about being alienated when I go back. But that was the house. A frame. Now I'm talking about home. Something to do with family. *Pauses to think* And ya, I don't know what I'm babbling about now.

I MISS MY FAMILY. OK? This I know.

I shall go sleep it off...again. Goodnite.

Gong Xi Gong Xi

By the way, I just thought of this....

The many ways you can say your Gong Xi's
  • Gong Xi Fa Cai (Mandarin version)
  • Gong Xi Fatt Choy (English version)
  • Gong Hei Fatt Choy (Cantonese version)
  • Geung He Huat Zhai (Teochew version)
  • Gong Xi Fatt Choi (Superstitious version)
  • Gong Xi Fat Cai (Insulting version)
  • Gong Xi Fai Cai (Lame version)

You guys better check your spelling before sending sms next time. Hahahha~

Pai Nin

I came back to KL on the second night of CNY. Been working overtime eversince. Every morning wake up early then sleep around 2 to 3 AM. But I am sure there are others out there who worked harder than me.

I'm very glad I made it this year to join my friends in the chain of 'Pai Nin' (visiting). In fact I just reached home not too long ago. I had so much fun, I missed the times we used to have. Thanks to my bunch of friends for making it so enjoyable!
