有些问题想问。
我觉得我有洁癖,爱干净。
但是我懒惰冲凉,为什么呢?
而且我很龟毛,
买来的衣服会因为质感太粗而放着不穿。
为什么我的错觉那么敏感呢?
喜欢整洁的环境,
但是也喜欢收集一大堆旧的东西,舍不得丢。
为什么?
不能吃辣的口味,
但是为什么却偏偏喜欢点一些辣的来吃?
有时候我真的搞不懂自己。
难搞。

Sunday, August 24
where.i went yesterday.
i ended work late yesterday, as usual a miserable 2 hours later than my official off-work timing, it has happened yet again, because i had no heart to turn down my colleague who switched shift with me.
And i skipped dinner the night before, and the breakfast before work, was famished.
i was raining cats and dogs.
so i walked into delifrance for a nice hearty lunch under warm orange lights and basked in the dreamy afternoon mood.
Had wanted initially to go for the Eason autograph session at Herren but it was 3.30pm when i settled down for lunch and the session starts at 4pm. No hope i guess. (PS: i have adopted a new hobby; a hobby of going for live concerts or the likes. I enjoy music much more when it is played before my eyes/ or ears to be more exact. And i am addicted to this new hobby of mine. smiles.)
I people watched until it was 4pm.
And a mad thought just occurred and I took a train nearby heading into town... Eason here I come!
When i reached, the crowd was huge already, at 4.45pm, but no sign of Eason yet... whew =) So i did some slow and big business. sorry for the details.
At 5pm, he arrived and sang a nice mandarin single from his new cartoonish looking album, alil old school. and sang another in english. I was just comfortable and relaxing to hear him croon. But i guess, i am not exactly a big fan of him... I found the session pretty funny, and he is, underneath his wire-stylish hairdo and cheeky smile, i know he is a great person. There is really no airs about him, he faces the crowd like a wide-eye curious child, easy-going and sincerely friendly, even in his black old pair of slippers. I can now understand why Yoga likes this big boy so much.
And after the evening feat, i left. And in a second, I caught sight of my lecturers (late 20s and quite cute looking) excited over eason's autographed album.... Oh manz.... so emabarrassed to see them so i sneaked away. (deep inside, i am glad that i am as human as everyone else =) i work and i play. or rather, it is the opposite) And while sneaking away, i bumped right into my colleague...she holding TWO autographed albums... wow. I am glad that there are music lovers in my workplace. And i stayed on alittle to check out her new boyfriend.
Eason was always lucky to have great lyricists for his songs. And I really admire the thinking behind those words, and how he sing them with such ... such... 从容. This has always been the greatest part of personality behind this successful star.
And i shopped at my favourite store again, checking out its new range of clothes: Litmus
I love love love those boxers, they are soooo cute. I prob buy matching pairs to keep if i have a guy partner in future... And more so, I love love love the interior design of every litmus shop. Clean white and urban. How nice it felt when i was in the changing room, with a nice yellow lamp at the corner, and i for once, removed my sandals to feel the parquet flooring similar to my room's and the nice clothes hanger and little stool for my bag. (Though I think the lamp was alittle inappropriate cos u can see shadows of figures just outside the white linen curtain.)
And i found litmus's online website for ref: www.litmusblue.com

About 模范棒棒糖
看了棒棒糖那么久
我都是默默的,有点偷偷的看
不敢跟别人说,
因为觉得可能是不适合年龄。
但是我觉得它带给我非常多欢乐,
虽然也是偷偷的在笑。
每天的工作疲累都在看的时候揭发。
现在,
模范棒棒糖要结束了,
唯一让我又哭又笑的最后一集了。
*******************************
我一直都很欣赏敖犬,
因为他比我还跟天蝎个性,
我完全嘹。
天蝎座的人很重感情,神秘其实是为了隐藏内心,不怎么说话的时候其实是在读别
人的心情,了解别人的个性,又偏偏不到关头不会成人对别人的关心,死爱面子。
对很多事情都很极端,喜欢可以爱到没命,讨厌就完全隔离不给任何机会, 从来没
有中间这回事。
我还是第一次看见那么天蝎个性的天蝎座人,真的。
通常天蝎座的人都不喜欢让人知道吧!
想到我以后再也看不到ELMO的locking舞蹈,小煜冷酷的眼神,小竭跟敖犬完美的双
人舞,翰疆好疆的乱讲,阿威的方块脸装帅笑容,TERRY很MAN的身材跟香港话,李
权的打鼓。。。
*******************
就象敖犬讲的:
很夸张,
快要没了。
Favourites playback:
黑角真的好强.拼了!
Elmo is undeniably genius!
locking champion:
帅!I love slow best!! more than locking or popping or house or tectronic.

不知道为什么我很迷小煜??
累积回忆是吧!

心有林夕
听了一次就很想哭
******************************
本身很喜欢林夕的作品
三年前有借过林夕的书
根本看不懂。
但这首歌宥嘉从来没有现场唱过。
可能是怕会哭?(很有可能)
但是我就是很想听现场的。
********************************
多想有个林夕 躲在心中描述
感情的起伏 和不想掩饰的痛苦
感谢有个林夕 在心中陪我哭
闪光灯亮时我的笑容
才能让旁观者满足
(有时候,人会委屈自己,
做别人想看的。)
this post makes me feel it has an ept flow.
怪怪的.

The long awaited Sodagreen concert之陪我歌唱
我等这天就等了很久。
一张满是签名的入门票也不耐烦的等在我钱包里。
时不时,偷看。
2 August 2009
我就跟好友一起走进演唱会场地。
非常非常绿呀,哈哈。
So it began.
I love the way it began. With snap shots of the city, lyrics of 城市 flashing in qingfeng's handwritting across the screen, and his cold clammy voice, reading about the monotony and restlessness of a city life. Then, one huge splash of water drop filled the screen in sync with the piano solo of 无与伦比的美丽 introduction.
从头到尾只有一个字:美丽
A swift change of lights and a rocker disco mood drowned the entire place,as I stood up after my friend (who has more experience in such events) and rocked to the beat. Yeah~ I love the fast rock tunes. It didn't matter if we haven't been so high before cos the people behind us were more crazy. ROCKER!!
I am sincerely amazed at his voice. Simply.
And i cannot accurately grasp his personailty, one with alot of attitude and yet delicate sometimes. Beats me.
Then there was an short silence after the fast numbers, where all the lights went out and it leaves us puzzled, about the intermission. After a couple of minutes, a familiar voice came on, without any background music, just pure vocals, qingfeng came out again, and sang us a the full tune of 小情歌, slowly but surely, in all darkness and anticipation. It was the best rendition of 小情歌 I've heard. We're all afraid about him saying he wants to 封歌 for 小情歌 previously.
When he finished, his troupe of strings came in and the whole song was repeated after the strings transited into rock. 四季狂想 came on and it blended well into 左边, as much as i loved always, to listen these 2 songs in this particular order as in the CD tracks. And boy do the instrumetalists were in top notch! What's more impressive than to put difficult skills and well-thought out details into seemingly simple songs. [左边]让我再次的被感动!
In the later half of the concert, qingfeng started to show his true colours. He was sucha chatter.. something i never knew or believed. He spoke jokingly, and made fun of this troupe in a cheeky manner. And boy, 他是个邪星. 真的. Buay paiseh and very 三八. Trust him to confess about his 三八ness. All the more we enjoyed the friendly banter. Admist all the serious rocking and smooth-like-mercedes ballads. And remember I mentioned about the most impressive song I liked about sodagreen? 白日出没的月球. I told him at the autograph session i really liked this and 左边, and he told me to keep a watch out for it. Haha, it came true. The violinists prob gone mad playing the psychedelic tunes, but I felt on cloud 9.
I know qingfeng enjoys making those wierd soulful sounds, as evident in some of the songs, esp towards the end. But i didn't know he could do it so effortlessly. I loved the 2-mic technique: he sings into one at a distance and holds another mic at an angle very near his mouth and the first mic, and it is able to pick up ecos at almost the same or slightly lower volume depending on distance. Manz... shuai!
是我的海. A song that i found out that both my best friend and I liked as we shouted above the loud crowd. we didn't know it until just before the first beat. =)
游乐. And we just forget who we are. As the saying goes: play like a child plays.
And so, near the end of the concert, he joked about how we should protest after the next song, as that was going to be the fake last song, so that they would be ensured the encore cheering will be high enough. Ha! we are all so 'fake' people, right? (sarcastic) Anyway it was damn funny. We practised our cheering and whinning for a few times before it was high enough , and he shouted ' Yea, yea, that's it that's it!' haha... are we all so bu yao lian? After the fake end song, the crowds rushed forwards towards the stage and we voted on our fav songs for encore.. i think 6 of them. At last some 20 minutes conversation from stage to floor. Some kena scolded by qingfeng for voting twice after they confirmed it... hahaha and the scolding sounds real funny la. '这位同学,你老师没教你吗?你老师在哪里?我要请他把你当掉。’very sarcastic. And the encore songs were really a gift. Most songs, i havent paid attention to when i first knew them. songs like 蓝眼睛. I used to hate Angela zhang's voice in it, as her voice doesn't rock, lacks movement and plays down the attitude of the song. But i loved it immediately when qingfeng sang it, asked my friend what song was it. heh.
and songs that I love long time ago:
tanya's 记念
How can they remember so many lyrics and scores off-hand so easily?
我只在乎你 a song i used to sing as a child off my dad's cd stereo, at that time i couldn't understand what the words meant. it is nice to hear the song again, at a more relevant note, and much more closer to heart. I love love love the way his voice breaks at 自己.
close to you. =)
相信. My friend's type of song.手掌里要更多呼吸.
It ended too soon with the crowd craving for more.
Too high already. And they did a out-of-sync bow as always in all their concerts, re-enforcing again, their non-serious child-like attitude in their music.
And the crowd only dissisipated (what a word!) after much coaxing '回家吧,孩子们!'
When we walked out of max pavillion, it was 10 mintues to 12am. The MRT and buses have all left. =) And we eventually took a taxi home, after a one-station ride in a cabin full of sodagreen's fans, some prim-and-proper still in after-office wear, some cool yappies in heavily dyed and damaged hair and street wear, some devoted rock bands with guitars still strapped behind hair backs. It was a great feeling all together, which day do you get all sodagreen's fans 苏打粉 aka soda baking powder aka sodium bicardonate all packed into one cabin and high in spirits.
The spirits kept high for one whole week after the event... I felt happy today, exactly two weeks after the concert, having no regrets to what length i went to go for the concert. i shalln't mention. And i bought their first album, as a collector's piece =)
***********************
人生是否要珍惜
During the taxi ride home, we discussed about the concert, and thought how we always get hoarse voice after a 3hour ktv session and how he is able to sing in full swing for 4 hours without any sign of tiredness. And i believed i enjoyed the concert to a great extend because it was true music played life.
The real collector's item is out on 11 August, a 4-DVD compilation of all their life concerts plus a sodazine. As qingfeng asked in the concert: are we really nicer when listened life than on cd? A resounding YES!. That's why.
