A weekend of fun!

A very eventful week. Enjoyed myself and used my time to the fullest.

Last Saturday was SYCO's July Concert. Happy to hear that the tickets were sold out at the very last week,  and even open up the gallery seats. Although we felt we weren't very very prepared for the whole concert before the actual day, everyone was really motivated and did well during the concert itself. Esp. when it was a coincidence that it was Mr Quek's bday the next day so everyone was extra motivated? But actually that should be the way. I wished it was more competitive so that everyone is more hardworking. Whatever it is, really glad that the concert ended well. I was totally drained after the whole day and my back and waist was aching like hell. Had to force myself to sit straight throughout the concert but it was super tiring. Almost died. HAHA!

Sunday was time for 《老九》. Frankly speaking, I wasn't very sure if I should watch it at first, but since sister was interested to go, I decided to give it a try. Actually, it was better than I expected! Just that the first half was kind of draggy, as it always happen in musicals, but the songs were good. And the actors were better than I expected too, esp. the lead Sugi. He did very well, together with some other veterans in Theatres, I like the '大马' acted by 刘俊葳, he was really good. The special moment was when 老九 narrated that his teacher passed away after 3 months, a kid behind us said 'huh!'. We all giggled at that point. 很有效果.

And was dinner with the JC peeps. Also a birthday celebration for my buddy - von. Sometimes I feel that if not for her and yuhui, i will bid goodbye to them. Haha. Nah, just joking, I'm happy to have such friends who have gone through jc life with me and have become so close since then. And even happier to receive good news from one of us. Got to prepare for it next year. But sometimes I feel guilty that they treat this grp of friends the most important but I didn't. But I really appreciate all those we have come through these years and I think we will still be friends for a long time. :) The reason why I said the above it plainly because I think they although they may feel I'm important in the group, but I'm not that important too, because I don't think they ever cared what I'm doing and how I'm doing. All we do when we meet up is just to talk about them, and I don't know, how on earth we can always talk so long and loud without addressing to everyone. I mean unlike my other groups of friends who will remember what I said and ask me how I'm doing or what. So, I don't feel as attached. I mean, they didn't even remember that my birthday is during their bali trip when they plan, and didn't even remember I can't make it on certain days even though I've said it so many times, and didn't even remember I mentioned that I going overseas on whatsapp. But the good new was, our dear han is getting married next year! :)

Then was on a trip to Zhuhai and Macau after that weekend! :) Will blog about it in another post.

田馥甄

Caught Hebe on her 2nd tour concert to Singapore 《田馥甄 To My Love 演唱会》, held at RWS Compass Ballroom. My first time attending a concert there. But don't really like the place though, ceilings too low. And space too wide, so sitting at the sides really cannot see much. :(

田馥甄的唱功真的是没话说,而且人也比我想象中的亲切。我以为她演唱会上不会太多话,但是错了! 哈哈! 说话很顺、很诚恳,也很有趣。有歌迷一直喊话,想引起她说得更多,但有时歌迷的话却让人觉得有点不舒服?其实一听就知道这样喊话的歌迷应该不是本地人。她也说了她以为新加坡的歌迷都很保守,没想到会这么开放,其实那个人就不是啊!

刚才说到唱功:很惊人。就算是没听过的歌,也能从她的口里感受到什么。而且背后只有一位和音天使,是很厉害了!连阿妹的《开门见山》都能有完全不同的诠释;先是利用音效变声,有种遥远的距离,后来又回到了原版的摇滚。这身材瘦小的可人儿,不简单啊!

这场演唱会没有过于华丽的舞台,服装更是简单 - 她只换了一次衣服,而且还是天使型连身裙,美!没有舞群,也没有烟火或之类的舞台效果 (也是场地的限制关系吧),但也有吸引人的灯饰,像是下着雨一样的灯光,配上她的情歌,我觉得是很有小室内舞台设计的心思。

曲目方面,只能说由于只唱自己的歌的话一定达不到演唱会时间的总长,所以唱别人的歌是必然的。可是我们田小姐喜欢的曲风也不是热门的那些,所以结论就是 - 有好几首歌都听不懂。不是语言的关系;是cannot appreciate。 真是不好意思。

最喜欢的还是《寂寞寂寞就好》,《My Love》,《花花世界》,《还是要幸福》,《魔鬼中的天使》,还有最近突然喜欢的《妳》,当场听到真的就想哭了。

I really treat the concert as a birthday celebration though nothing else special happened, but I was happy enough. Really had a great time, though there were times she was so far away that the view was totally blocked. Well, I say, a good saturday night spent! :)
