I need Miyuki or Ying Ying!! And Video Addict at work again...
DON'T START SCOLDING ME OK!!! I just thought it will be fun to show you guys the very song that changes his life... and I thought that hairstyle was damn funny... the 'mushroom' head... and the trademark hand movements!! Haha... 对你爱爱爱不完。。。我可以天天月月年年到永远。。。
HELP!!!
I need help for translation!!
I found a couple of videos of Aaron Kwok's and I don't understand cos it's in CANTONESE!!! Again!!!
Help help help... if anyone is kind enough to translate the cantonese for me I'll be grateful...
These videos are from his USA concerts btw...
Understand the part on "nei you song meh" .... He is talking about the toy snake that snakes can be girl or boy ... but I don't understand how come he went to hug the snake!! And all the others not very sure whether I understand anot... Anyway, the video was damn funny just by the visuals...
The front obviously I understand lah... but the last few part not really. I only know he was saying about Japan (Yat Pun)...
And another one is an old video... but I thought Aaron Kwok is damn funny lahz!! And got Grasshopper too...
And I found other videos about Aaron Kwok and 草蜢 Grasshopper... hahaha... Don't blame me. I like watching their videos and I like both of them!!
The compliation of his songs...
One of my favourite songs that was performed in the concert... but this mv looks damn old!!!
This is one of my favourite song of his... 爱的呼唤。。。and I think the cantonese version of the lyrics is much better....
This is also one of my favourite song!! Haha.. very nice. I can remember hearing this song when I was young...
And of course cannot forget my Grasshoppers right??? This advertisement got me laughing so badly because of the guy's reaction and the way the Grasshopper ignore him... haha... short video. Only 30 sec.
Haha... that's it!! If I can remember any other video, I shall put it here...
Cheerios!! xoxo

My Wish List (please don't scold me)
Tuesday, September 18, 2007
I Love Emmys!!!
Classic line man... I love it. He was my take to win the emmy for the best supporting actor in a drama series!! His character is damn complicated and hard to act and he did it perfectly... And Katherine Heigl from Grey's Anatomy won best supporting actress in a drama series!! Woo Hoo!!
And her dress is so beautiful!! I love it too!!
And her speech was funny too...
"My own mother told me that I wouldn't have a shot of winning tonight so I don't have anything prepared.... don't worry, she still loves me..."
"My mother, this is for you, this is because of you. I wouldn't wanted be here without you..."
Other killer dresses... And have to put 2 Eva Longoria's pictures down because HANDS DOWN, her dress is the most beautiful and classy. =) Stunning.
To me, at this moment, I think these tv shows are MUST WATCH... (* meaning that I haven't really been following the show even though I wish I can...)
1. Grey's Anatomy ( THIS IS THE BEST SHOW FOR ME...)
2. Ugly Betty (Never disappoint)
3. Heroes (Going to show on Ch 5 soon!! Hang in there! MUST WATCH!!)
*4. Brothers and Sisters (Watch like 3 episodes before my mum took away my tv...)
5. The Ghost Whisperer
The top of my list is really Grey's Anatomy.. This is simply a must-watch. Really love it. Have been watching since season 1...
And I prefer McDreamy to McSteamy... haha...
Some shows on cable tv which I wish ch5 will buy over when my cable subscription is cancelled...
*1. 30 Rock
*2. The Sopranos
*3. Two and a Half Men
*4. Entourage
*5. House
Really no time to watch these but I would love to... they are all on cable and I have too much to do to watch these shows... )=
Felt like there are so much things that I want to blog about... but now I could't remember a thing. )= Sad. Short term memory these days... Hmm... I decided that I have to make a resolution. Have been sleeping DAMN LATE these days and have not been motivated enough in my studies, which is bad because I promised myself I have to work hard this sem!! So, I promised myself that:
1. Thou shall not sleep later than 2am on non-school days and 1am on school days.
2. Thou shall only watch 1 hr of online videos per day
3. Thou shall have to study hard for this sem!!
4. Thou shall not be late for classes for more than 5 mins!!
I hope I can keep up these promises!! I have a bad habit of not keeping it up!!
Oh yeah, want to say something about this. Next time, if anyone of u ever EVER EVER work as a promoter, DON'T THINK ABOUT CRITICISING CUSTOMERS' TASTE. I got so mad the other time. I brought my furla watch to some watch shops to see whether they provide the kind of strap changing service I want. It's kinda difficult to find because the watch strap is slightly different from the normal ones we see. Anyway, I went to this watch shop at TM and the guy was telling me they don't have that kind of strap... Fine, I expected it. Then guess what? This is how the conversation roughly went.
"This kind of watches are made in HK one... not as good as those watches made in Switzerland, like Rolex, *****, ***** (I can't remember what brands le...). Even your DKNY watch is also made in HK. That's why they are so cheap, cos they don't normally last long and their quality is not so good."
"Uncle, it's FURLA. It's not exactly a cheap watch. And it's made in Italy."
"Yes I know, but still it's not a famous brand. These watches are not good. Trust me, I have been in watch business for a long time already. I know how to look at watches..."
EXCUSE ME???!!! TRUST YOU??!!! U KNOW HOW EXPENSIVE IS ROLEX ANOT???!!! WHO ARE YOU TO TELL ME??? I WAS SO MAD!!!
How dare he criticise my taste for watches!!?? And to think he said he has been in watch business for a long time, and he doesn't know FURLA?? Sure, it isn't exactly a watch brand but still, it's really not cheap!!
..............
I went out of the store, fuming mad. Now we know guys, NEVER EVER QUESTION A CUSTOMER'S TASTE.
Ok, next I remember I want to talk about my Biz Policy test.
In short, I AM SCREWED. In desperation, I answered one of the open-ended question with THE STUPIDEST ANSWER I ever given in a test or exam. I never thought how stupid it was until the test ended and I had the time to think through how I did in the test. Idiot lah... I think the professor is going to laugh till his teeth drop loh... surely my name is going to be IMPRINTED in his mind le... on top of the sleeping and talking in class.....
And there are so many projects due this sem at around the same time that I think I am so so so so screwed.. haven't really start also. I am definitely not looking forward to after term-break...
But I really found out that I really slightly prefer marketing than finance. I guess deep inside me, I know it all along. But as I said before, I don't hate finance... but maybe marketing is more fun for me. (=
And I just saw this commerical on this new show on channel 8 at 7pm... got the Alex Fong 方力申!!! Yeah!! Shuai ge alert!
Ok, I think that's it. Can't remember what I want to say already...
Leave u some videos to enjoy.
Terry O'Quinn
The Jersey Boys' Performance... so cute!!
Katherine Heigl
ENJOY!!! XOXO

Random Thoughts
3!! 3!!!!
And I have not freaking finished with anyone of them.
I am so screwed.
What kind of mega events does Singaporeans need? What kind of mega events can make 100k of Singaporeans attend?? What kind of mega events has not been done in Singapore already?? Shit!!
Anyway, I forgot to post the pictures of my outing with the other IE people on fri 31 aug... I jumped straight to Aaron Kwok's concert in my previous post. =)
Huiteng called it IE SUMMIT. Hahahaha...
Met Yuxin on the bus the other day ( I think it was wed) and she told me about Grasshopper. She said that Grasshopper used to be damn popular that they won Best Group for the Singapore Hit Awards for many years in a row. I went to double check and I found this.
1994: 最佳组合 - 草蜢
1995: 最佳组合 - 草蜢
1996: 最佳组合 - 草蜢
Wahaha!! Grasshopper is still the best!! So is Aaron Kwok....
Some people had asked me why do I like Grasshopper and Aaron Kwok so much these days. Here are the reasons:
1. Both of them know (REALLY KNOW) how to dance. U see their concerts (or their concert dvds) and u will understand why. I haven't seen such dancing for some time already.
2. They are great looking, even for 40 somethings. (ok, in Grasshopper maybe only 1 of them but hey, it's good enough right??)
3. Their songs are still not too bad. I use 'not too bad' because frankly speaking, some of the Aaron Kwok's songs I don't really like.
4. Damn sexy for 40 somethings!! Seriously!!
5. They are my childhood idols. I don't go around talking about them, but I like them a lot when I was young. I was 4 years old when I jumped onto the coffee table and started dancing 对你爱不完. I was 3 when I learnt how to clap along the beat of 半点心. Some loves are just inside. =)
There u go... can only think of these few reasons now. But shall add them along the way. Wanna do a comparison of the 2 concerts I went but I think next time...
**Just remember Linda telling me how SHOCKED she was when she read from my blog that I went to his concert ALONE... Hahaha. This proves that I am a brave girl!!
There was this funny incident in my product and brand management class on thurs. Me and another project mate were arguing that time. I was saying Aaron Kwok is better looking, and she was saying Jerry Yan 言承旭 was better looking. We got this exchange student C in our group to judge who is the better looking guy (I got the i-weekly mag which has both of their pictures..) and she pointed to Jerry Yan's picture and said, "Is it a guy or a girl?" I cracked up so badly!! Hahaha.... and the first thing I thought of was my mum because that's what she always said to those kind of hairstyles!! Haha!!
And C picked Aaron Kwok as the better looking guy and was shocked when I told her that he's already 42... =) She thought he's 28!!
And Jul was telling me that the newspaper reported that there were 12 Lamborghinis at the concert actually... 12!!! I only saw 5 and I was already dumbstruck!! So sua ku... Where were the other 7 of them??? I wanna see them!!
And I found out that the Lamborghinis that I saw last sat was Lamborghini Murciélago.... =)
I still haven't finished watching the Aaron Kwok's dvd... no time. And btw, just to clarify, I only bought 1 dvd. I posted the pictures the front and the back of the dvd previously.
I went to find Britney Spears' new song Gimme more and I actually like it... it's super dancy, it's HER and it doesn't sound bad at all! She's opening the MTV Video Awards (the same show she kissed Madonna on lips) this sunday and well, admitedly I kinda want to see that. =)
Maybe will put the song on my blog soon. And the new Paula Deanda's Easy...
Alright. I think that should be it. A bit braindead to post anything now...
Cheerios. It's back to the stupid essays. =(

Aaron Kwok's Concert (Edited)
I must post the pictures and details now or else I will forget...
At his autograph session...
His opening costume...
His "lightbulb" robortic costume...
He was singing from a stage that was hung in midair...
Up close with him...
Him in his angel costume!!
Some things that I understand in cantonese of the concert:
1. Aaron was stopping for a small chat after about 40 mins of non-stop opening. He said he was sweating, and he wants to wipe off his sweat.
"抹抹脸上的汗先。。。抹抹眼上的汗。。。抹抹头发上的汗。。。抹抹腹部上的汗。。。抹抹胸上的汗。。。还有!!抹抹背上的汗。。。"... something like that lah.
2. Aaron and the butterfly. He wore this jacket that has a 3D butterfly on his top left sleeve. He said something about gay then said something like " My jacket even got a butterfly" and started talking to the butterfly. Which I tot is kinda funny..
"蝴蝶,你好吗?"
(to the audience) "Sorry, jetlag." (meaning the butterfly jetlag so no answer lah... )
"和观众说 hi 。。。。嗨!没反应!不说了!"
I can't re-act the way he said this but it was very funny...
3. He got this stage that hung in the midair. He said about getting up to that stage (which was level on the main stage) “这个舞台不可以走上去。这个舞台要用跳!"
4. He asked,“你们要快歌还是慢歌?”“快!!”then he said A LOT in cantonese that I don't understand.... trying to explain he is going to sing slow songs I think. Then he asked the audience whether he can sing slow songs anot and the audience screamed "YES~!!!" The he said this in cantonese that I understand.
“刚才还说要快歌?这么快就改注意?”
5. A lot of fans got him flowers and toys and they got the security to pass to him... He was looking at one of the toys (a very cute bear) and said (something like this, this I really not confirmed) " So many? I can donate to charity already..." Then his team of people kept passing him flowers at that moment... he kept taking them. At one point, his facial expression was like "Again? Never ending flowers arh?" which was funny... then the last bouquet was very small with RED ROSES... He started humming the wedding march and said, “可以结婚了。”
6. He was taking a small break and drinking water. He held out the bottle of water and said, “你们要吗?" And everyone screamed...
7. He was blowing his saxaphone but he couldn't get it perfect for about 4 times. The first time he got it wrong at the middle of the tune. After finishing one section, he said (something like this) to the saxaphone, “不要这样对我..." The second time it was the first note that was wrong. He blew many many times, not giving up and determined to get it right. The last time was the best but still not perfect. He said, “不吹了!下次演唱会再吹!这样你们下次会再来!你们会再来我的演唱会吗?"
8. He ended the concert without an encore. The whole crowd was screaming "Encore!! Aaron!!" but he didn't come out (not like Grasshopper, who encored 3 times). Instead, he kept peeping outside and kept sticking out his hand and waved to us goodbye. The "peeping" was really funny cos he made funny faces when he stuck his head out. And because he kept doing that, we don't want to leave!! The people there have to keep playing the ending message to tell us that there will not be any encore.
It ended at about 10.45pm. Grasshopper's ended at 11.30pm. =)
That is why I said I prefer Grasshopper's a little more. But both were very good!! Especially the dancing!! I love the dancing!!
Something like that... as I said, I couldn't understand cantonese much. I only learnt 1% of it since Grasshopper's May concert... should be impressive since in may I know nothing right??
I was recording his classic " 对你爱不完" (which was the opening!! And it's in hip hop version!!) when I was caught filming by the securities!! Shit lah... the dancing was amazing. So only left the imcomplete version. So wasted.
And many other videos that I took cos I think his dancing is damn awesome... but I don't know the song titles!! I shall find them before putting them on my blog..
And there is this guy who is obviously his biggest fan cos he knows how to sing almost every song la. He was singing along with him and quite loudly too... in chinese and in cantonese. And he screamed very loudly for him when needed.
And there is this girl sitting in front of me who looks like she is CRYING every time Aaron is singing. I couldn't be sure about the crying thing cos obviously I only saw her back but her body position looks like it... plus when she left her seat at the end of the concert her eyes were red...
And there was this group of girls screaming non-stop with "AARON!!" whenever needed...
So Aaron really has a lot of die-hard fans huh??
I bought this dvd boxset at the end of the concert. The person said it is not avaliable for sale outside... hmm... I wanted to buy one outside for some keepsake so I bought it lo. But it's not cheap ok!! Spending so much money till I really heart-pain le...
Was thinking if there is an AARON's cap I will buy that and forget the idea of the Cao Meng cap... but only got his albums and cds and dvds!! So the Cao Meng cap is still on my wishlist...
But that will be the ONLY thing I buy for him... I am not going to sweep his every single thing... not the way I did for Grasshopper...
Actually, there is nothing bad about going to concerts alone. Sure, u will feel a little weird. And no one to share your thoughts during the concert. And no one to high with u. But it's ok. U still enjoy yourself in the end... and freedom to do what u like (eg chasing the star at the end of the concert, taking ur time to buy whatever concert things after the event, to go there at what time... bla bla bla)
Best of all, you can get a better single seat than a double seat!! =) U people can try going concerts alone next time...
I have accomplished going to movies and concerts alone... what should I try the next time??
Anyway I took a stadium direct bus and 293 back home!! No cabs today lahz!! I damn happy cos I saved money!! Must save money le cos I spent a lot of money on concerts this yr alr!!
And yesterday I only took a cab from bedok to tampines so I saved quite a bit too!! I very happy!!
MUST START SAVING MONEY!!!
Sighz... should sleep soon. Should do work soon. But I am too high to do anything... shit...
Got so much to do tml.
But I am happy!! Glad I went for this concert!!
Cheerios. xoxo DAMN HAPPY AND HIGH NOW... (rushed this post for yiwen who is waiting to read about the concert now...)
**The Lyrics of the song on my blog now... which was the song in the mid of the video as well...
第四晚心情
望妳在眼睛 望妳在眼睛 情念怎麼可以平靜? 第四夜結識 為妳便心傾 無奈愛意未能說清還是要告訴妳 無論怎麼反應 心跳呼吸也不鎮定人為妳鍾情 原諒我痴情 原諒我心急將心意傾知否,在今夜心聲? 知否,第四晚心情?知否,在等待一聲? 今生,讓我愛不停? 望妳傾側的背影 不想在今天夢醒但妳在看星 但妳在看星 懷內心思可有拿定? 願妳讓我知 願妳亦感應 無恨愛意為誰去傾流著最美笑意 然後妳已默認 興奮得心更不冷靜祈望再應承 投入我生命 投入我一生的溫馨 願妳一生的背影 天天伴身邊望星
