华健逊回演唱会（2月7日）Wa Kin Live In Concert

时间过得非常快。原以为距离上一回看周华健演唱会是在去年。其实是两年前的事啦！每一次去看周华健演唱会都会很期待听他那些熟悉的歌也想去感染他的幽默。每回听他唱歌都会有种high的感觉，好想让人也跑上台和他一块唱。

这次也带的数码相机拍了些照片和video clips. 先让您看看照片。一会儿再下载一两段video clips.

I get very inspired whenever I am at Wa Kin's concert. I would fantasize myself standing on the stage like he was and enjoying the performance as much as his audience was enjoying it. I wished I was him and doing what he was doing. Perhaps that's what enjoying your work means. At least, that was the impression I got from watching his shows everytime. But of course, I am sure he works hard for it and a lot of time and effort has to be put in for him to be what he is today.

Anyway, here are some pics (the slightly better ones) which I kept snapping away. We were sitting at the last row and I was trying to zoom to capture the clearest. Not ideal, but better than nothing lah.

Good deal this time. The concert started at about 8pm and ended about 12mn! Wow, couldn't believe we were kept entertained for a good 4 hours.

Busy snapping as we were waiting for Irene and hubby. Thought it was going to rain but thank goodness, it didn't.

Queues started to form but basically still pretty organised.

Here you go! Pretty much filled up isn't it.

华健出场咯！

好喜欢舞台的七彩colours.

Thanks to the big screens on the left and right of the stage and quite frequently, the centre stage. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to see him clearly. Thanks to Irene for the binoculars too.

See the difference between the actual vs the big screen. That's about the best my camera can zoom. Still not too bad right?

The stage is always so simple, yet the orchestra and his vocal beats everything!

Love the outlines with the big Wa Kin. Can find the actual one?

Performing with his guitar, accompanied by his great orchestra.

Here they are. Very nice musicians. Love the feel and audio effects. Soothing. In my not so good mood state, it did affect my mind positively.

Chingay Floats Parade 2009

The Chingay floats 'march past' my place yesterday. I was eagerly waiting for them since 8pm cos notice said they would arrive between 8 to 9pm. But they arrived after 9pm. Wow, the procession was very exciting because seldom do you see your estate so brighten up (very bright) and with such loud music. Heeheee....The traffic police were also very cool while on duty. Mmmm.....I was hopping up and down, running from this side to that side, and I was hoping it wouldn't end so soon. All in all, it was very enjoyable. Nothing beats seeing the real thing right in front of your eyes. On TV, they are not that nice and exciting to look at, just like fireworks.

The floats came in two batches. When the first batch arrived, I was so excited that I forgot to turn my hp camera to night mode, so pictures were not so well taken.

After the first batch left, I thought the night was over. But just as I was about to step into the house, I thought I heard loud music again, so I went out to look. Wow, the second batch came!! And so I continued to snap, snap, snap and here they go:

Residents waiting eagerly for the floats to arrive. I was upstairs waiting.

Heard from dad today (he read from news) that PM was on one of the open top bus along with the floats. But I didn't notice!

Anyway, that's all, folks.

Happy Birthday to All

Today's the 7th day of the lunar year and it's also Ren Ri (which is the birthday of everybody). Since it's Sunday, we decided to go for Yusheng at one of the coffeeshops downstairs for the fun of it. Later on, the Chingay floats will also be coming to our place. Will see if I can get some nice pics to post.

Meanwhile, here's our Yusheng:

Lunch at Swensen today

Lunch was at Swensen today with my mum-in-law and two nieces. Well, the target was ice-cream!!




Gobbling down the usual. Mine's the 49yers chicken sandwich. Look at that thing that looks like a boy-boy's toilet bowl? That's the Caesar's Salad. I thought the bowl looks special.

Everyone enjoying their own food.

Hubby and Ting Ting had their own entertainment with handphone photos while waiting for the 'star' dish to arrive.

Here goes! Our fondue!! Yummy Yum Yum. Finally I get to order this. Nice to have this shared with a few people.

Couldn't resist taking pics from all angles. For your info, the scoops of ice cream cannot be swopped. We tried asking.

Start the chocolate steamboat. :)

I was excited too.

Not that I was bored, but I wasn't ready for this photo!!

Look at them. So in tandem...

This is the end product.

Conclusion: NICE!

Lunch at Westlake Cafe

Had decided to lunch at the Westlake Cafe (西湖小吃） at OG (ChinaTown) yesterday since we are going there to buy things. Many years ago, me and dad had been to the actual Westlake Restaurant at Empress Place it was nice.

Our verdict for yesterday's lunch: Other than the Kong Bak Bao (Braised Pork Bun), which is Westlake's specialty,the other items we ate were very disappointing. Also the Kong Bak Bao is very expensive, at $2.20 each.



This is my Zhajiangmian and Kong Bak Bao set.















This was the fried rice set with popiah and fried chicken wing.

These were our expressions before the we ate our food. Expecting to be enjoyable, we were very disappointed after our first bite. Sigh.
