well, i've had a horrible day, and the happiest part was probably dinnertime. it was at the nearby koufu zi char stall - mr pang's seafood bbq. i've previously noticed it but never had the chance to try it. lol so we ordered FOUR dishes between the two of us.
鐵板豆腐! instead of round egg tofu, they used the big square type instead. nise~ and look at the mushrooms! yummy!
bbq sotong. lol we were actually debating between this or prawn rolls and SSD said 'see first'. turned out he ordered the sotong in the end. reason being, this is a bbq stall so must try their bbq food item. which was EXACTLY what i was thinking. omigosh scary! lols. unfortunately, it was a little overcooked and hard and chewy. boo.
simple baby kailan. a little oily, but still very nice! look how pretty it is! =)
and lastly, bbq stingray. very oily! but the sambal is sooooo yums.
total damage = 38 bucks. not cheap lor. =( but i'm gonna go back someday for their assam fish head! ^^
lots of drama before i actually managed to make it there. after being rejected by loads of people and feeling utterly sad and disappointed the entire day, i finally found 親愛的 to go with me! and the best part is, she actually wanted to go to the concert, and not just accompanying me. ^^ i hate it when people do that (i.e. don't want to go but just go to pei me) so i try not to force people. but i reeeaaallllllyyyyy wanted attend this concert. so still must 厚著臉皮 go around asking people free or not. tsk.
mega happy when we were finalizing our plans. =D it's like 冥冥中自有安排 lor. cos actually she also rejected me in the afternoon already. when after work she realized it was 伍思凱's concert, she immediately said she wanted to go. but it was past the 5pm deadline my mum gave me. so sad. then when i reached home, i found the tickets on my table! imagine if she never ask me whose concert it was. gua gua gua~~
did some youtube search on his songs the night before and realized 原來 so many of the songs i like are by him! like...
anyway, it was scheduled to start at 730pm but we only reached around 745pm. still so many people queuing to enter. it later started around 8pm i suppose. photography wasn't allowed at first, so i missed the front part of the concert. it's pretty dumb actually, cos 伍思凱 himself actually encouraged people to photograph him; he even posed for people to snap. tsk.
i initially thought his songs were all slow and sentimental, but surprisingly he sang quite a number of fast tracks as well. his dancing is a little....weird though. lol. i guess i still prefer slow songs. super love his voice! and there was a white piano at the corner. romantic-overload can?! =|
after his walk (he was like, 10 steps away from me but i was a little to stunned to snap a shot. wasted lah! and he's quite short by the way.), cameras and handphones started coming up so i thought i'd do the same. lol. om-nom totally sucks at zoom+low light, and my stage photos ALL turned out blurry. had to make do with snapping from the screen. sad.
by the way, he sang all of the above songs last night, plus a whole lot more, including those that he wrote for others. like 秋天別來 and 啟程. talented nehhhh!?!
he also spoke about this particular song which he wrote about his first love and how he cried while recording it in the studio. and also showed photos of his family. the look/smile on his face while singing and staring at the photos - priceless. super duper 感動 by everything about him! lols.
and the best part? at the end after he said goodbye, and the stage lights went off, and the hall lights came on, the fan club started chanting for an encore. AND HE CAME OUT LEH! lol. (clad in t-shirt and jeans already lor.) since quite a lot of people had already left, we all gathered at the front of the stage. managed to take a bit more photos.
he sang quite a few more songs and i managed to record his last song. it was my favorite 分享 which he sang once already. i thought he would be singing the slow version this time, but nooooooo! this is probably the only thing i didn't like. the slow version is SO MUCH nicer.
last bow. bye bye! (almost 3hrs of him, no enough! super thankful and happy that i didn't miss this concert or i would have regretted it so much!)
yep. with work. getting more and more things to do now. i like the responsibility, but i still think it's kinda 大材小用. ok this sounds reallllyyy BHB but it's seriously such a big drop from discussing major issues in contruction projects, to dumb admin stuff like checking if employees are late for work. -_-''' i think there's a lot of paperwork here that is redundant, and i'll be like, huh this small small thing also need to check meh? hais. i feel so...contribution-less in the company and it makes me feel useless. tsk.
event positions, y u no pay higher?! hdb, y u no cheaper?!
... ...
on a lighter note, my no-pay leave for next month has been approved! well, sort of. they asked me to cancel it and resubmit again later. but they said confirm will approve. lol. sooooo, gonna go genting. again. hopefully i'll make it to the strawberry farm and what-not this time. *excited*
... ...
monthly buffet dinner with aunts and family and SSD - kiseki @ the heeren.
variety and quality of food was so-so only. but there was plenty of salmon sashimi and salmon belly sashimi. that one was nice! and fresh prawns. and bbq/grilled prawns. oh there was grilled salmon sushi too, but the one at SE is nicer. lols.
