Vincy Chan's Malaysia Promo Tour 2010 (泳兒大馬'預見...遇見'簽唱會)

I realized it has been ages since I last update this blog of mine. Do people still have time for blogs since we have platforms like facebook and twitter which is much faster? Anyway, it's been too long and I guess my 'stalker' has given up on 'stalking' me here (if there is any to start with) ;P

Last Friday (23/7/2010) I went with my cousin bro, his friend and couz sister to OverTime, Life Centre Kuala Lumpur last Friday to meet Hong Kong singer, Vincy Chan (泳儿) who was in town to promote her new album titled '預見...遇見'. I'm not really a super die hard fan but I do listen to her songs.

First of all, a singer with her caliber should not be given such venue to promote her album. The stage is way too small and she literally has no place to walk around.

The patrons are mostly consists of Friday-after-work-hang-out-with-friends type of customers with young waitress (age not more than 30) who dressed like a milkmaid just that the skirt has been chopped off to reveal a pair of sexy legs.

We ordered snacks of french fries and fried mushroom and 1 bucket of Heineken @ 8.15 pm. The beer was fast but the snacks took more than 1 hr to arrived. I'm guessing it's their tactics of hoping we'll order more drinks while waiting for our paid food :(

In between while waiting for the gig to start and the food to arrive, the following conversation took place ...

Bro: That waitress look cute.
Sis: No no no, the other one look cuter ... wait, the one behind us like WoW!
Me: Which one?
Sis: The one directly behind me, with 2 mountains!
Me: You mean the twin towers on her chest?
Sis: Ya ya ya and she looks like a doll.
Me: Looks quite cute.
Bro: Not my type. Do you think I can get the cute waitress cell number?
Sis: But she doesn't have any dimples as per your No. 1 top requirement in any girl.
Bro: Hehehe ... no harm trying rite?
Me: Of course, provided you sit here all night order barrels and barrels of beer like the uncles next table. I'm sure she'll sit with you and give you her probably fake cell number.

In the end, we left without any cute waitress number :(

OneFM DJ, Jack Yap was the MC for the nite. He did a fair job, perhaps the crowd did not provide enough response to make the gig livelier.

Not when you are facing some drunk men shouting on top of their lungs! These bunch of idiots was shouting for their friend whom they called 'Eason Chan' up to the stage for a little game. This Eason Chan wannabe don't look nor sound like him. Maybe they are referring to Eason's dad? Anyway, the game was to compliment Vincy and the best lines wins. 3 dudes + 1 gal. The Eason Chan wannabe mumbled something like 'sor jai' (idiot in cantonese). We were like huh? In the end, the prize went to the gal. Then the drunkards starts to shout something like 'unfair' mainly because their friend didn't win anything. Geez ... have some class lah dei!

Only a handful of fans showed up and when the camera was clicking away, they hide behind the neon banner! I can never understand why they don't want their face to be seen on camera. Maybe next time they should wear a mask so that nobody will recognize them! Duh!

Then there's this gal whom I think is not really a fan but still snapping away with her cell phone. Whenever the fans screams, she'll shut her eyes and her shoulders will go up hoping to close her ears with them because the hand is too busy with cell phone. If the sounds is damn annoying to her, then she should not stand at the fans section in the first place. Like duh duh!

A jigsaw puzzle with Vincy's face was presented to her by the fan club.

She sang a total of 3 songs for this gig - '无缘罪', '原来爱情那麽难' and '不可預見, 只可遇見'. Please visit Sing K Lyrics for the video and pinyin lyrics of the song.

Autograph session. The pace was so fast that I didn't manage to snap any photos of my cousin bro and his friend. Another reason is because one fella was blocking me all the way! Whenever I want to snap a picture, his hand will shot up holding his camera, totally blocked my view ... urgggghhh!

Vincy is too thin in person but she has pretty features :)

The gig ended at 9.30 pm and by then we were still waiting for our french fries to arrived from France!

Video Selection - Surprise!

This is too cute ... black kitty with white velvet paws =^..^=

It's a concert for goodness sake

I went with my cousin bro and sister to watch Eason Chan's 陈奕迅 Moving On Stage 26 at the Sunway Lagoon Resort couple of weeks back. Malaysia is the final stop for his world tour which started in 2007 with Stage 1 in Hong Kong.


It's free standing for all price range except the VIP seat which is far far far behind the stage (usually these seats are the cheapest but I guess if you are in Sunway Lagoon Surf Beach then it's the total opposite). We are lucky to grab front rows (directly behind the 2nd most expensive tickets) and the view is near, very near. We stood for a good 3 hours screaming our lungs out, singing and dancing with weird moves! Thanks bro for inviting us and your generous treats :D


The concert started at 8.00 pm sharp with some guest performers before Eason finally appeared singing his first song K歌之王. He performed a total of 28 songs with a 40 mins encore session. I love the medley of songs kings of cantopop (i.e. Leslie Cheung, Alan Tam, Jacky Cheung, Andy Lau, Aaron Kwok and Leon Lai). The dancers are great and there's one from Japan is a REAL hot chick! My cousin brother was drolling at her ;P

At the end of the concert, there was a display of fireworks to our delight. A truly worth-it concert which rocked the house down!


Besides a short review of the concert, what I wanted to share is the type of people who go for concert. The thing about concert is that we should at least clap if you can't sing along with the singer. How about moving along with the rhythms. I've been to quite a number of concerts and have a collection of concerts DVD. Unfortunately, most of the Malaysian audience are 'dead wood'. They watched the whole concert with no emotion. They don't clap, wave, laugh, sing or dance. They just stood there with a 'what-the-hell-am-I-doing-here' expression! Gawd!


Then there are those who bought VIP tickets but strolled in 1 hour after the concert stated and blocked others view by towing their kids and parents along. This is not some chinese wedding dinner where they don't serve before all the tables are full! Have some sense of punctuality will ya! And the same bunch will strolled out 1 hour before the concert ends. Personally, I think you don't respect the singer by walking out before the concert ends. Why don't you pathetic people just stay at home instead? =.=


The most uncivilized behavior of the Malaysian audience is to throw their glowing sticks or the waving board up to the singer when he bows to say goodbye! Are you high on drugs or what you hooligans!


I really hope our fellow Malaysians can be more sporting when comes to concert because it's really embarrassing when the singer commented that 'we are a bunch of no reaction audience'!

Here's a clip of the concert for you good folks out there.

Video Selection - 喝采

Andy Lau 劉德華 duet with Sammi Cheng 鄭秀文 at the Artists 88 Fund Raising Campaign 8.8 水災關愛行動 held in Hong Kong for the typhoon victims at southern Taiwan.

Video Selection - Allegro, Opus 3.30 a.m.

From Eason's 陳奕迅 new H3M album. Allegro, Opus 3.30 a.m. is the first song in the album. Allegro, which means quick and cheerful musical tempo in Italian, while Opus, a latin word, is defined as the numbering of music pieces by composers, which generally run in order of publication. The song was was changed three times and the third and final piece was completed in the wee hours of 3.30 am, hence, the name Allegro, Opus 3.3 a.m. (source: Sing K Lyricz)

This song is my current ringtone :) Hope you'll like it too.

When Looks Ain't Everything

By now, most of you might have heard about the extraordinary 47 year old Susan Boyle from a small village called Blackburn in Scotland who participated in 'Britain's Got Talent' recently. She is currently unemployed and live with her cat name Pebbles :) She entered the contest because of her late mother who encouraged her to just do it.


Elaine Page

Some of the audience sort of roll their eyes including the judge, Simon Cowell (so what else is new from him) when she said her dream is to be a professional singer and be as successful as the English singer, Elaine Page.

She might look like a grumpy old woman with that frizzy hair and bushy eyebrows but when she opened her mouth, everybody was shocked and impressed with that voice hidden inside her! To listen to her amazing vocal, please click here. You will be blown away with that gem of a voice! I did.

Another reminder to all of us ... never judge a person by their appearance because looks ain't everything.

A personal favorite ^^



Lyrics
If you haven't changed your mind
そばにいてほしいよ　Tonight
強がることに疲れたの
幼すぎたの
Every time I think about you baby
今なら言える　I miss you
It's so hard to say I'm sorry

たとえば誰かのためじゃなく
あなたのために　歌いたいこの歌を
終わらないstory　続くこの輝きに
Always　伝えたい　ずっと永遠に

Memories of our time together
消さないでこのまま　don't go away
あたたかく溶けだして　確かめるの
優しさのしずく　この胸にひろがってく
切ないほどに　I'm missin' you
重ねた手　離さないで

たとえば叶うなら　もう一度
あなたのために　歌いたいこの歌を
終わらないstory　絶え間ない愛しさで
tell me why　教えてよずっと永遠に

たとえば誰かのためじゃなく
あなたのために　歌いたいこの歌を
終わらないstory　続くこの輝きに
Always　伝えたい　ずっと永遠に
