Jay Chou 2007 concert :D

there are a few things i wanted to post before i forgot, but since last night's events are still fresh in my head, i've decided to type it down before i forget :D

i finally got a chance to attend Jay Chou in concert last night! Previously, either i left HK just before his concert or when i was in HK he didn't have one that year or something ~_~;; so when it was confirmed that he was going to perform this year, i wasted no time in arranging to get tickets to see him :D only thing is i wish silly was here to watch with me because we'd be able to scream like crazy together :(

to summarize, i think he is very talented, not just because he can write his own songs and such but he's able to produce a very distinct style that is "jay chou" and has been able to do it with ease. He's also very talented as a musician, and demonstrated that by playing piano, guitar, drums and the zither (thanks for the term silly hahah) with skill, and not just basic strumming/playing. i heard that the saturday night show had Yundi Li performing the 'piano show-off' section with him which i wish i could have watched! his singing wasn't too bad, pretty much sounding like his cd, and he performed so many different things last night that i found it pretty entertaining. from performing acoustic versions of his fast songs, then later performing a really dance version etc. although i wish it could have gone on forever, the concert ended promptly after 11 and on a very sudden note :( however, i finally brought my camera this time, so I can show a taste of what it was like :D

please click on the picture to see it in full~

the arena was packed :D
he rose from the bottom of the stage on top of this 'carousel' thing :D i love it XD
then he rose up on the middle of the stage and began playing several piano solos ~
jay chou on the zither :D too bad it was in the middle of the stage :(
and lara of lam chuen ma ma:
these were the best of the pics i took.. we sat on the far side of arena which was great because he was always in the sides more than in the middle and i could get quite a few closeups :D

I talked to some of my colleagues who saw the concert as well and i'm thankful that the speakers and mikes were working properly last night! one colleague said she sat really far, but she couldn't hear anything because the speakers weren't working! and the mike kept screeching as well... i feel so bad for them ~_~

on a side note, ah gor (ken) left :( i wish i could have seen him before he left but he was too busy that day and quite lost in doing his own thing so i guess i'm glad i was able to see him 3 times this year as opposed to one time two years ago :P
ah gor, thanks for everything! will post pics of dinners with him later~

everyone: i've mailed out my christmas cards! hopefully it'll all arrive before christmas :D

current mood:

silly~ you're so silly! no need to have to shop for me.. i'm getting you a christmas gift because i saw something i thought you may like a few months ago and "had" to get it for you. it's nothing big so dont' worry about having to get me a combination bday+x'mas gift! you have "other important gifts" to worry about if you get what i mean... Hahahaha good luck with that :D i'll see what i can think of as well :D (have stuff to show you later re: jay chou concert haha)
