After completing my course, I finally got some time to spend with Jazs and my friend and colleagues. During the mist of these fun times, I was still thinking about something.
Some things that I feels, worth my time burning my brain cells for....
I just don't why the sudden gash of urge to write this..
I'm just happen this little fear about....
Age...
I feel that Time is peeling off my Youth, layer by layer like an onion.. Age catching up, and I wonder what's more can be done.
Roof over my head, a kid by my arms. I certainly hope I could enjoy a little more. Play my favourite game. Walk along my favourite beach. Make merry with my favourite friends.
Just as the days swept pass me everyday at work, I been hoping that Time goes slower. I merely wanna achieve more! Cant every seconds seems like a minute? Or can I pause the world from rotating while I finish up all my outstanding tasks? Allow me 26 hours a day, I got the energy, I got the motivation, I can pump on. Why cant I have exhange for more time to work now than to sit on the rocking chair, waiting for Death to find me?
That's impossible.
Never can the world wait.
And I'm sure I wasn't thinking too much.
Probably I need an hour tonight to sort out my thoughts and plan to (hopefully) till I'm 35 yrs old.
Ten days has past since my birthday, but the memories in me is still fresh.
I just wanna share those memories I had with my first ever concert,
郑秀文 Love Mi 世界巡回演唱会 Singapore !!
And also to record these wonderful memories I had with Jazs by my side, in case I ever feel like recalling them back.....
We headed over to Kallang Indoor Stadium at around 7pm from Suntec, and me, filled with so much of excitement in me. Upon reaching, fans flooded the bridges, car park, Leisure Park.. Woo... We could hardly walk fast!
Entering the East Gate, headed to our seats 9 & 8 on Row 19. Happily seated down, with rest of the stadium half-filled. Looking around, saw a few familiar faces, but didn't went up to call them. I just spend my time surfing FB, browsing through those birthday greetings and also sharing my excitement while replying them.
Finally on 8.35pm it all uncover with a blast!
Chotto等等
As I have watched so many times on her HongKong LoveMI concert on Youtube, I hope that Singapore stop will be the same as HK. Looking her descend with blasting sparks, send the crowds to thundering scream!! And my ears are deaf at that moment..
Following this the music flowed smoothly to connect with a new song, "叮叮当"
Here listen to how she address the crowds in mandarin in a funny way..
Subsequently, similar to HongKong concert she sang, "默契"
A very old song of her, "不来的季节" & "值得" & "娃娃看天下" & "长恨歌" in a weird looking dragon-like suit.
Up next is her 3rd outfit of the night. Retro look with a extremely nice hairdo which Jazs & I love it on her! And she sang a Medley of English songs : a.I Will Survive b.Can't Take My Eyes Off You c.Designer Music d.Conga
And now her 4th suit, White dress with dozens of roses at the bottom. Performing my favourite sequence of new songs Episode I：The Darkness "罪与罚" with HanJin & "You raise me up" & "信者得爱" rap：欧阳靖 MC Jin.
I was actually hope her to sing her new song "上帝早已預備", as I saw the performance at Hong Kong concert was really fantastic! Nevertheless it was great to watch Sammi singing my current favourite album that had been playing everyday while heading home via bus.
After a short break, she returned with an orange dress (5th suit), singing a touching song "回来我身边" and Sammi's version of "恰似你的温柔", see how funny she put it when she said,"掐死你的溫柔". Haha!!
Following she sang a new song which resemble her feeling, "不要惊动爱情" and an English, "Last Christmas" with HanJin.
There is a really poor showing of SGrean's behaviour. Hundreds of people made the toilet dash when special guest who is also a fellow Singaporean, singing his own songs, together with MC Jin. Looking across the shadow of people's backview, I really pity the performer. Much deserved respect was not given to him. P.S. I din go toilet leh..
Back on stage, Sammi performed a Medley of "独家试唱" + "星「秀」传说" + "煞科" + "叮当" This is when the whole crowd went crazy! Many were spotted standing on chairs, waving their light sticks vigorously throughout the song! And I also cant help but to keep screaming. WOOoooo!!! Hahaha... That is why I din managed to record this wonderful experience. Take a look at the HongKong concert which is even better, with the round stage!
After this performance, I really take my hat off her. Dancing and singing, she is almost breathless as certain part of the last song, you hardly heard her voice. But the performance was impressive! We love the part when she fall backward into a hole while singing "星「秀」传说" and re-appearing to sing "煞科" and we witness how she lifted her right leg almost touching her forehead! It was fantastic!!!
Next it was another change in outfit, Black leather Devil like suit. Singing a song that brought the whole stadium to hymn with her, "亲密关系". She continue with Medley of her compilation of All-Time favourite songs "上一次流泪" + "终身美丽" + "不拖不欠" + "落错车"
Ending her night with a MUST-SING, "唯独你是不可取替". where she hopped off, asking the crowds to shout louder if we want an ENCORE. Minutes later, the band started hitting a beat where the crowds went shouting "*Dong DongSAMMI"
Indeed, she appeared with her 7th or 8th outfit, singing "终身美丽"
After which, she waved goodbye again, saying, "Ok Bye Bye Thank you!! Not sure got another ENCORE anot." Just when some people started getting their ass off the seats, probably typical SGrean's brainy "Faster go, I dun wanna struck in traffic jam!!"
Sammi appeared and this is truly the very last time. At this moment, I stopped taking any vid or photos. Engrossed in her final performance, standing with the rest of the crowds.
After this, I really don't bear to leave the stadium. Hoping there might a 3rd ENCORE. Haha, immediately the bright white light was turned on and that put a stop to this wishful thinking of mine.
Right now I was hoping to catch Sammi the next time she is in town for her next concert or she may pop by due to her upcoming mandarin album. (Currently still shooting vids and photos.)
IF NOT, I will try to persuade Jazs to go HongKong with me at her next concert there, where we can also stop by for a short holiday trip!
Sooooo looking forward!! And that granted my life-long wish of meeting my idol,
I here to declare that I'm truly very happy with what a unforgettable birthday celebration I had this year 2010.
A 26 yrs old guy who enjoy wonderful experience during his birthday period. I certainly had to say THANK YOU to:
Jazs who accompany me through out all celebrations, giving me a surprise present giving session, sit by me as I cheer for my idol.
Sammi Cheng who held her concert on my actual birthday! Probably it is Fate for that to happen, and I certainly enjoy my first ever meeting with my Life-Long IDOL!
My fun-loving colleagues who celebrate a be-lated birthday with a cake in a cup on 6 Apr 10!!
Cindy who brought me my all-time favourite Kaya Pandan cake!! MuaHahaha!
Not forgeting the rest of my co-workers who gave me a Donut Factory cake on 1st Apr!!! Certainly the first time!
Finally those well wishes from my Best Poly-mates, My Best pals and relatives who wrote either on my FB wall or via sms
THANK YOU!!!
I really apreciate that I do have you guys around me. Thank you.
I feel better, after sharing my thoughts with my co-worker. Thanks indeed~ As it is always better to spill some thoughts with someone who was at the same site as you are.
From that conversation, I found out that I was again, not understood. A selfish and defiant me who just couldn't bothered to explain to a 2nd person, especially after the talk.
I'm definitely not what I seems to be.
Whatever....
I was listening to these songs during my train ride to school. I just love the lyrics.
This is by Olivia Ong singing SimplyRed's song, called "Stars"
And this meaningful song about child abuse, written in a nice way (I feel~) Sang by Suzanne Vega, called "Luka" This song was also sang by Oliva Ong. Do check out her album, which I like her way of re-singing these songs.
Below entry took me about 3 days to draft, and finally I have get it tidy up and ready for reading. =D
"Birthday for the 27th time. Fun-filled, surprise-filled. I love it! and it was truly memorable one.
Memorable: Reason being, I submitted a letter with 30days notice to the place I had been 'ploughing' for the past 4 years. not sure if that letter was a surprise for the receiver (as he does not seems shocked to me), I was not asked to re-consider nor what is e reason behind. Well it doesn't matter, probably I surplus his requirement. Submitting the letter certainly took me some hard time to consider, plainly because I've been here so long, that the kind & friendly peeps, environment, and 'customers' around me which I'm gonna miss so dearly.
Say I'm gay, emotion-filled, or whatever, but I'm truly a guy with a mind that solely 'feed' on emotions. And I mean it when I said (to my co-workers) that I detest the feel of leaving.
But well, I still gotta move on, isn't it? Jumping to a higher, greener ground is a natural route to fresh experience intake. I don't expect to be missed, as I admit that I'm definitely putting 50% of mind in work since 2010. So for now, I just hope to vacuum all my outstandings and not to be cursed on the first day of bTptc Antz-less. Added to that, I felt really apologetic towards my comrades, as my friend and I left 2 big holes for they to fill.
'离别' is always the hardest word to me now. And that's what makes my 27th birthday something significant to remember.
Remembering 27th anniversary on Earth, is also marked with surprise given by Jazs and my best pals (you know who you are). I simply ran out of vocabulary to describe how happy and thankful I am for their time to execute the surprise party for Davi and me. Great companionship I got for 10 years and I count myself very very lucky to have them around me.
Seeing my pal being proposed was also a moment which I felt really happy for her. Nevermind I was 'supposed ' to be the surprise to cover my friend's proposal, I was truly very willing to help. In the end, the whole event was filled with surprises for one another and worthy of a celebration! Well, it was also a night where some stuffs that are buried so deep in me which are also resmosful for me, were poured out from me. and I felt great after that! Eventually things broke into laughters.
When more pals joined in, it was deep into midnight and we continue the chat. But that doesn't matter, as we continued the chat till almost 3am. Though my eyes were closing, I couldn't bear to turn in that early.
Up till now, this unforgettable celebration, just left wondering when will we have another one like this.
Haha... I guess what the young ones called, "BFF".
Built for memory: On the actual 2nd April, I went work from Gallery, special indeed. I worked from 8.30am to 5.10pm. Amazing right? Working for such long hours. Ya crazy, I admit. I volunteered for that duty, coz I thought I should do my best to continue to help out.
Spent time talking to colleagues, receiving their handshake of birthday wishes, were things that brighten the boring working time. As usual, it's my crap and jokes, well, I left with only a few weeks more with them, before I hopped onto another ship. A new ship that may not have such youthful team around me.
No matter what, four fruitful years at where I am, I truly wish them all the best and may we meet again on one fine day."
So loving the chorus till I placed it on my MSN private message "上帝早已预备, 我不相信运气" And this noon, Gavin came asking me, "U turn Christian?" Kinda mis-leading for putting up such message.
I have to clarify this, I'm really open to rest of the religions around. But I believe there's only one united GOD up there looking over every single one of us, which I does not know who is it, or whatever form it is.
I seems like a Free-Thinker and I am very interested to visit Hindu Temples, Churches or Cathedrals. Furthermore, I can't deny the fact that I enjoyed watching movies like "The Nativity Story" and "Passion of Christ". I watched them alone, appreciating it just like another touching story I've heard, and leaving the cinema seat with a few droplet of tears across my cheeks.
Nothing about getting out of track of where I am, but I feel that every religion definitely has it own beliefs and teachings that everyone can understand and practice (irregardless of which ever religions). There isn't any religion that is the MOST powerful or MOST convincing or Greatest of them all. I hope that everyone in the World can hold each other hands, say their own religious prayers but stay selfless and pray only for the well-being of every single beings on Earth. You may take a look at this : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selflessness
Personally this is what I practice, I believe, and I feel as I walk along this path call LIFE.
Similar for above Christianity song by Sammi. I always have believe LUCK was given by someone up there. From that chorus, it reads : There wasn't any luck in life, it is just another plan done up by GOD. Thinking about it for some time, I read it as : Luck was given to me by GOD, indirectly it is like GOD had PLANNED to give me this luck. I just wonder anyone feel the same as me, or rather I should put it this way : Anyone's beliefs is as complicated as mine?
Guess I'm more suitable to have my own religion, my very own sets of Beliefs. And I shall live as what I feel I should do, with a little help from Someone up there.
P.S. Above is solely my personal views and thoughts, nothing personal to anyone. I apologize if my statement has offended anyone.
There was a farmer who has 6 cows and 7 plots of fields. Day by day, the 6 cows followed the Farmer’s instructions ploughing those 6 plots of fields individually, without question.
Everyday, the 6 cows felt really drained out of energy, but they seldom complain. Let alone to suggest to Farmer about buying a Tractor, in order to cut down their workload.
After working for a few months, there is this pearly, pure white cow suddenly have a thought while doing the routine ploughing. So he went up to the Farmer and speak to him in a respectful manner, “Farmer, may I suggest that 6 of us plough 1 single field together instead of ploughing individually?”
Farmer looked into the blank and paused for a few seconds. He said, “Continue to work hard and we can finally move to a bigger farm.” Following this sentence, the Farmer walked off, whistling away towards his hut. The White cow felt dejected, he hoped that Farmer could at least clarify with him that why doesn’t he like White cow’s idea?
Another few days passed, still the same old process in a scorching hot afternoon. A loud ‘Moooo..’ was heard from 2 fields away. Every cow dashed over to the direction of the sound. 1 of the 6 cows fainted on the field, due to heat exhaustion. This sick cow was taken back for a rest. On the next day, 5 cows have to plough 7 fields with the same method. Yet another cow fell to heat exhaustion.
Yet the Farmer seems unmoved, and not thinking a bit of what White cow suggested. Instead, he borrowed a few cows from his neighbours to work, until those 2 sick cows recovered. But this time round, Farmer used White cow’s method and the cows were happily looking after each others, working legs in legs.
In the mind of White cow, he always thought that these could be prevented if Farmer could adhere his advice. He knew his suggestion may not work, but isn’t it worth a try? They might not arrived at current situation if suggestion was taken, long long ago.
It has been more than 12 years that I got addicted to Sammi Cheng. Did not brought a lot of her albums, but have been following her trails all along. It is my long time desire to see her live on stage and
I'm absolutely ecsatic to announce that I've gotten her Singapore concert on 2nd April 2010!!!
After catching Kimi Raikkionen last year during his F1 at SG and I'm finally been granted another of my wish!!!
What's more the concert is held on my 26th birthday!! What a great way to celebrate my birthday with Jazs!! Certainly looking forward!!!
But mood changes as the messages pass around... It was the Talk of the Office for past 2 weeks. What can we do? But to hang our necks out to wait.
So finally it was confirmed. Things just have to change like a pack of poker cards, shuffled up for the next round of game. It is normal for such issues to occur especially under the current economy..
But to me, I just don't feel good about it. Can't help it to feel so emotional. Well that's Life isn't it? Like the short live butterflies around us, aren't they going through the 'fixed' short life cycle, replenishing them every day, so that Human can (taking it for granted) see them every day?
Anyway all the best mates!
Below song, is what I feel is nicely composed, polished further by Kelly Clarkson. I taken a liking for it after listening to it performed by a live band it at Pub.
All thanks to Jazs for lending me this book "Who moved my cheese?'. Just in time, for an upcoming change that is gonna take place really soon on where I work.
The usual stuff~
3 years where I always have to face this....
A Change
It is only when I read up this book, where I found out that (like anyone else around) I very afraid of Change. Be it, changing of where I live, where I sit, where I work. I'm exactly like the main character in the book. It may be the laziness in me that contribute to this FEAR in me.
I admit that I'm like a worm... Even now the course which I'm taking at SP, I did struggled a bit to pull myself into the registration.
After this afternoon announcement, the more I thought I should recommend this book around. I thought that reading this book at different stage of our lives may makes one develop different edge of thinking.
