S.H.E Together Forever

I thought of going to the concert for the longest time. (okay, actually the longest was Amei. haha!) But I did really want to go this time. But the tickets were long sold out, and when they release that last few tickets, either the seats are not those I liked or they are just too expensive (Cat 1). I even held the tickets in my Sistic cart for a few times, contemplating. I gave up in the end. My principle behind is, if I don't even spend that kind of money on my favourite artistes, I shouldn't do it to the ones I'm not so hard core about. Which means to say, I have never spent that amount on JJ before lah. I thought 'it's just too bad because their tickets are really too expensive for me'. I'm saving up for more things since Christmas is most 'chor' period on money. And I have decided.

Next thing I know, the very next day, my sis whatsapp me and I was totally delighted. In fact, I replied immediately and was smiling to myself. HAHA! Okay, a bit drama but that was totally what I did at that moment I saw the text. I went OMG! YES!


You cannot imagine my excitement. I was sad because I missed my bus by seconds. But after this it doesn't matter anymore! And it's FREE!!!! :D

And then I had a BKK trip in Sept

I say I'm kind of lucky. To have the luxury of all these. Again, it's kind of an impulse decision to go along with the friends. But it was a happy one. :) Went to Bangkok with some of the Beloveds. First time 6 of us plus 3 went overseas together.

It's very hard to have so many close friends going out at the same time. And we are all glad of each other's company (I'm sure). Haha! It's a bit impromptu, and I had so many choices I chose this over the rest. But excitedly we had all the flight and accommodation settled. :)

It's a crazy trip of eating and shopping.

We reached there early afternoon, so soon after we dropped our bags at the hotel, we went out for lunch at Platinum mall, it was an impromptu decision for the fuji restaurant lunch and shopping indoors because it was raining after we finished our lunch. So we decided to shop where we were.

To be honest, BKK is like HK, 買東西、吃東西,買東西、吃東西。With an extra option of massage. It's like the best place to go get new clothes blah blah blah.

Went to do Pedi and mani too, but I don't think I will do it again next time, because they really took toooooo long. HAHA! I only did cutting for both hands and feet and drawing for toes only and it took me 3 hours. I was so going to die sitting there (almost).

Massage was awesome as ever! Every night without fail :) Shiokness. Even met a friend/ex-colleague there. We don't even meet in SG because we stay in different parts of SG. haha!

Weather was a bit crazy. It's either too hot and it's raining. LOL! We had to stay indoors on one of the days because it rained when we were about to go out. The other times we had some difficulty getting back to the hotel dry, even though we had ponchos. And luckily we had the ponchos.

Despite that, surprisingly we had enough chances of roadside stalls food. Glad that we always have a street of food right below the hotel. Though they don't sell till late like 1, 2am, but I have to say we had a lot of good food here and there. Some of which I didn't even know or tried the last time round. :)

Spent most of my money, buying things only for myself. HAHA! Okay, a few items for other people, but seriously, not much. I don't know how I really am able to buy so many things, just for myself. Oh wells....

It was really a good trip with the closed ones and I really look forward to going somewhere else with them again! :D


Broadway Beng - Back to the Basics.

最近和朋友一起去看Broadway Beng. 本來陳瑞彪就是我最喜歡的舞台劇演員,加上在Broadway Beng 裡非常搞笑的他,是我真的期待的作品。可惜我只看過了上次Esplanade 的,和這次的。雖然這兩次我是totally enjoy, 可是好像就有那麼一點的遺憾,但我也知道,那種遺憾的感覺會讓我不會再錯過他以後的演出。

人長得不錯,歌聲佳,搞笑功力了得,演技也很好,中文英文福建都行。我覺得沒有什麼好挑剔的。HAHA! Okay, that would be quite a bias comment.

We all know most of the part would be funny. And indeed it was really funny, we all had hard laughs throughout the show. And the songs! They are the one and onlys. Where do you hear people sing the songs in chinese and hokkien, in english and hokkien mixed? The Broadway Beng does it. :) And the translation are always so funny, you can't help laughing. He made jokes out of the simplest thing you can find: his mother, his siblings, the audience, the stage, the supporting cast, even his father who has passed away.

I have to say that I was touched when he sang 《阿嬤的話》(He changed the lyrics to 阿爸), as a dedication to his dad. The only part in the whole show that wasn't at all funny. But he changed the mood so fast to joke that he is talking towards the ceiling not because his father is sitting at Circle 2. -.- And if the audience at Circle 2 sees his father, must say 'hello' to him. -.-'''

I love the part he speaks to the audience and the Justice Bao part. They are too hilarious. Tea parties, Ronald McDonalds, Grease, all so funny. I have a great time and thinking back now, some of the scenes still made me smile. :)

Little Broadway Beng is so cute. And at his age, he's really good in speaking the language. Acting was really good too. Plus, he has a cute face. haha! But throughout I was thinking, is that really the thing we want to teach this child? Is he too young for it? Or he has the 'bestest' idea what he's doing? I don't know, and I'm curious! 這樣真的好嗎?連邊緣的話他都用上了。但以他的年齡來說,我是很佩服他的。因為他太棒了。

Overall, have to give this show thumbssss up! :D I love Sebastian Tan and will continue to support him! I hope he makes a Broadway Beng show every year! PLEASSSSSSEEEEE! :D

我愛台灣 (2013年版, 第二篇)

Yup, the anticipated trip since the friends started become closer in SYCO few years ago. It's a pity that those people have already left the orchestra for various reason. But still, I was still looking forward to it, because there's won't be anymore chance. HAHA!



It's not an easy trip to come by for this one. And I appreciate every effort. I would love to ask if this trip had happened last year or the year before, would it have been very different from what I have experienced? Answer is most probably! Why? The people, maybe the repertoire, the end result.
