Memorable events

2 weeks after the last post passed by in a blur. The things I remembered bout the past couple of weeks are few.

1) I'm still hanging out with those payco people too often
2) THE sakae outing
3) THAT one-month-to-prepare de rejection letter
4) Singapore Entertainment Awards
5) 三張六筒 + 一炮三响

For some reason, the sakae outing has been MIA for a couple of years. The last time we all met for sakae was 2 years back already! And the last time I went to sakae was when Yuanxu was still in Singapore and we had that dizi outing, which was.. Freaking long ago. So I was pretty excited bout it, :D But I guess we totally outgrew our appetite and only cleared erm, 31 plates in all. -.- and I was actually not too bloated after that for something else! Quite amazing. Guess drinking a lot of water in the midst was not helpful in the "eat as much as you can" factor of a buffet, lols.

Singapore Entertainment Awards was a totally random thing which happened last Saturday. Chongwu happened to call me at noon time, saying that Chongtang has one extra ticket and he couldn't find anyone else, so I ended up going. I thought I would have to leave PA rather early, but in the end it was raining so heavily that we didn't leave till 6plus either. Reached the floating platform area (it's my first time in!!) at around 6.20, and it was soooooo filled with people that I doubt national day was this popular, -.- The good thing was that the queue moved fast, so we actually reached inside just a little before 7. The whole thing started at 7.30pm, and the first half of the awards was rather boring. I think 90% of the people who were there, had free tickets and were wondering what they were doing there -.-. The rest of the 10% are either xiaozhu fans or Stefanie Sun fans or JJ fans. Lol. The second half was more happening, after Energy came in, because all the big shots started to appear lol. Cheer Chen is a rather amazing person, to have 7 encores for her concert 0_o very impressed by that. And Aaron Kwok's stage! And that kantang pianist. And of coz JJ, who sang 4 songs in total, the most of all the artistes! It was weird that Stefanie Sun only sang one song.. But well since she's releasing an album soon, she will have plenty of chances for exposure :D She sure looks good, considering she's disappeared for a considerable amount of time!

Very nice view.

JJ came out to stop the audience from sleeping and jack up the atmosphere, -.- Sang a couple of songs and went in, the came out after again to sing another couple of songs sans the music arrangement, only him and the pianist, or him and the pianist and guitar. The best type of singing! :D



The hot shot of the day was of course, xiaozhu, and I have to admit, his live sounds better than his recordings.. Haha.. And I like to see him dance!

The whole concert ended at around 11, afterwhich we went for a bite and then I headed over to Pinyan's house for some more mahjong -.- Very amazing tiles were played. I've never seen 一炮三响 in my entire life before, apparently Shaun volunteered to show us all. :D

Poor bloke. Haha. All of us were waiting for his 五万 with our 三四万 somemore..

Rather irritating way to spend my sunday today, but at least I had my weekly fix of 敗犬女王. :)

Very random, but I realized that I've been spending my birthdays with pa ppl for the past few years. 2005 - VCH concert. 2006 - cycling, in which Jh accidentally got his teeth knocked off, :\ 2007 - 21st birthday dinner, 2008 - concert chalet. 2009 - Meiting's birthday chalet. :s Rather weird, I think, but it's ok. Haha.
