Weekend blues

The past weekend was filled with surprises, love, mishaps, and basically every possible emotion I could endure within 48 hours.

Saturday morning was spent tutoring, largely giggling at the little pronunciation mistakes made by my tuition kid. He's brilliant, probably the wittiest of all the kids I've tutored, and probably the most privileged of them all; he has a MacBook Pro, a white room full of white furniture, a white Yorkshire terrier and parents who love him to death. And he's barely 8. I wonder if he knows the existence of five stones and hopscotch.


S.H.E concert was brilliant!


2007年的《移動城堡》,讓我感受到了姐姐們的現場演唱功力及舞臺魅力。自從那天就一直盼望能看到她們再次站上室内體育館的那天。這次除了圓了我的夢,能和比我更愛姐姐們的老公一起看《愛而為一》,簡直是美夢成真。也許是命運和姐姐們的意願,把那麽愛我的老公帶進我的世界裏。:)

三個小時的演唱會上,姐姐們總共唱了40多首耳熟能詳的經典好歌。除了自己的歌曲,她們也以KTV方式演唱了《簡單愛》、《紅豆》等其他歌手的歌曲。姐姐們也不忘體現“亞洲第一女王天團”的華麗稱號,換上了一件件華麗卻帶性感的小洋裝,讓在場的8000名歌迷們大飽眼福。

在個人單元中,ELLA更是拉開了尺度,不止是大跳性感舞,還唱了自己為自己寫的原創歌曲。雖然歌詞淺簡易懂,卻反映了ELLA自信滿滿的一面。

這演唱會也能算是我一個小小的記事簿,因爲幾乎每一首歌對我來説都有特別的意義。《說你愛我》是進歌謠時試唱的歌曲;《戀人未滿》是曖昧時期的歌曲;《五月天》是差點得和老公的一首歌;《你最近還好嗎》是回想起往事的歌曲... 而且還請了許多資深的音樂人來擔任BAND的頭號人物,包括小芬姐和吉他奇才Jerry C.

雖然因爲隔壁有天團五月天在開場的關係而被媒體拿來比較,但是那又何必呢~?S.H.E有她們的粉絲,五月天也有他們的粉絲,難道娛樂圈裏除了比賽,也只是比賽嗎~?他們都有各自的好,而且也都是天團,爲何非得那麽做不可~?

從《移動》至今,相隔3年的姐姐們,成熟了,漂亮了,變得更性感了,歌聲也越唱越嘹亮。但唯一不變的是她們對彼此和對歌迷們的愛以及對音樂的堅持與執著。她們也許接下來就不會有太多的機會再同台演出了,但相信那種永不熄滅的熱忱會一直燃燒著。

And then I lost my phone on the taxi, on the way back from the concert. It wasn't just about losing a phone; it was about losing 2 years of memories cast in bytes, as well as the contacts of people I have loved and worked with. It's about pacing up and down at 2 am in the morning as I deactivated my SIM card and called the cab company (which could do nothing and put Jack on endless hold 3 times). *Sigh* Oh well. And to top it off, I lost my EZ link and matric card together with my phone, which doubly sucked. Oh well. In life, you gain some, you lose some.

At least dinner with Jack's family went pretty well. We visited his cousin and their pretty little bundle of joy! The darling had a lovely crown of ebony hair, and looks like a sweet blend of her parents. If only we could break out from the reality of baby formula and diapers...

While I continue to mourn over the loss of my old phone and my bombed bank account (which I just excavated 200 bucks out to buy a new phone with), it's mugging period to keep the mind off unhappy stuff.
