Listening to: 伍佰’s 淚橋

19-deg air-con going at full blast makes me sleepy. by the time i reached home today, i just went straight to bed and slept for 2 n 1/2 hours.

Been blasting 伍佰’s new CD on my discman the whole nite, and omg, there’s a skip at the 9-second mark for track 2,3 and 6. shit! can’t believe it. i saw some pple complaining about it over on the PTT board too. wonder how 伍佰老師 feels man, his 1st album with Avex and after 2 years, and it comes out this way. Heard some of the PTT pple saying there’s a lot of noise on tracks 2 and 3 as well, but i thk my listening is not as pro as them bah. wonder if i can get a refund or exchange somewhere.
yay, clearing my leave, so i’m off work for Tuesday and Wednesday, gotta get all my stuff in order these 2 days, been leaving too much work piled up

Listening to: Mayday’s 時光機

another back-dated entry, ^_^ coz i was too excited on getting this album haha, finally! 2 years we had to wait for it and 3 more days before it made it’s way to SG, taiwan fans got it on the 11th *pout*, but i must say it’s extremely worth it. My love and respect to these 5 guys who did it against so many odds and so little time. I love this album!! it’s happy and sad all-in-one, especially knowing all that happened during the time they were trying to push out this album on time. Guess it’s really a bitter-sweet victory for them this year, it’s their 5th birthday as well in 2003, so the album means so so so much more to them and to their fans.

My fave fave fave songs from this album has got to be 九好球 (composed by monster!), 我們(時時刻刻), 雌雄胴体 (oh yeah, the way ashin sings it, together with 陳珊妮 on backing, haha it’s fantastic, soooo sexy ^_^). Coming in 2nd would be 而我知道 (seems like a lot of people are speculating on the story behind this song), 賭神 (the flamenco guitar is a fantastic new sound for Mayday) and 時光機.

Of course, I love all the songs on this album, including the 番外篇 which has 小時候, so it’s really really difficult to make a choice between 1st or 2nd, to me, everything is 1st!!! ^_^

writing this 3 weeks after the release of the album, there’s been funny and sad parts… funniest part, 瑪痧 and 怪獸 indulged in a spot of streaking somewhere in taipei near their studio!!! haha omg, and they showed it on tv, bare butts and all!! all because 怪獸 decided to bet with 阿信 that they couldn’t make it for the album release on 11th Nov, and 瑪痧 got dragged into the bet without even knowing what it was about.

sad parts, how tired they look all the time, really feel 心疼 for them, always appearing with black eye rings and 1/2 awake faces, and the media juz keeps calling them “the band who’s always late”…geez, just give them a break. imagine, ming’s knee is still not okay, monster’s mum is still lying at home, and all 5 of them have barely got to go home and see their families and friends since god knows when. haha monster really summed it up after the filming of the 輕工 MV, when he told ashin to write songs with much more relaxing lyrics/titles like 吃到飽，吹冷氣，自然醒, hahaah really fell off my chair laughing at that. just saw another clip this week (4th Dec i thk) when they secretly filmed a clip with ashin’s mum saying some stuff to him, and monster’s eyes juz went red and he had to turn away for awhile.

hmmm, i really feel happy for them on the great sales and their even greater popularity after they came back after their NS, but I can’t say i’m even anywhere near ecstatic about their punishing schedule of publicity stunts, and it doesn’t look like it’s gonna stop soon. Good thing their 宣傳 joe flared up about all the complaints they were receiving. Just hope they get a good long 24 hour sleep and a few good meals before coming to Singapore, dun mind if they come later, just want them to feel great when they come.

Listening to: Mayday’s songs on their new album 時光機 – 賭神, 雌雄月同体, 阿母斯壯, 輕工,恆星的恆心 (awww, my heart melted when they played it for the VERY 1ST TIME at the SG concert!!) ^_^ and Meteora

HA! no updates for 1 and 1/2 months. ^_______^ (阿信’s fave ’smiley’ on PTT hehe), Can’t believe it’s November already, 2003 just swept by like that, I didn’t even have time to dwell on anything. Been busy with other stuff i guess, actually I’ve been coming home from work and watching tv and going online till 3 am daily since the Mayday concert last week. Can’t believe it’s already been a week!! It seems waaaay longer than that! Ohhh, 伍佰’s new album will be released in December!!! Mayday’s 4th album 時光機 will be officially released 11th November, 11/11/2003. ok ok a little summary:

woooo, spent today at latte’s house making our scrap book and our new secret weapon hahaha so fun!!! Even tho fizz n I had tix to the Zpop concert, we were sooo unwilling to leave her place haha, it’s the 1st time an “arts project” has held more attraction for me than a free concert *g* But we made it to Zpop anyway, althought it was all nice n crowded and muddy and hot. haha all girl nite out, just to see Park Yong Ha, *screeeaaam* so funni, we were like those mad xiao mei mei, all drooling over that tiny figure on the far-away stage. We were there around 7+, almost 8, the ground was still very wet, and the crowd was pretty tame n quiet, think because a lot of people came to see PYH or Tension or JJ.
Ha,will not bore everyone about the concert la, anyway starting from about 9.30 or so, i was pretty stoned with tired feet and aching shoulders. I’ll just say that PYH finally appeared around 11 or so, and everybody went mad haha. And he had that bemused look on his face, like “Who are these mad people??” haha. Anyway, his songs are nice, and his voice is gorgeous! I didn’t really expect a lot from his singing, coz I thought he was juz another pretty boy, but his performance prved me wrong. his voice is not too deep, but it does have a clear quality about it, and i couldn’t fault him on his zhuan ying (how do you say that in English). Anyway his voice didn’t shake or waver when reaching the higher notes, and I guess for me it’s good enough haha.
After that, we were hungry, tired and extremely thirsty! So we headed down to S11 for supper around 11.30. I finally made it back home around 1.30, bathed, onlined for a while, and collapsed into bed around 3am. Tomorrow is another story!!

HA! been spending almost every night online chatting about mayday and beyond and rock music, everybody’s keyed up coz Mayday’s finally back All getting excited about the concert which is still 2 months away. Me now trying to get a bit of stamina to jump and rock the whole night on 25th october with them now, haah even if I don’t get in shape, a bit of stamina will be very very good already

wah latte, boh and tidey r back, and they brought a lot of stuff and news back! haha can’t wait for a total rundown of the concert, can’t wait to see my new Mayday t-shirt, can’t wait to see that gorgeous gorgeous poster, can’t wait for their Singapore concert!!!

Finally, after 2 years of talking and planning, Px and I headed over to Fizz’s house to start on the scrap book, it’s gonna be hilarious, especially with all our Wax Museums all over the place. hehe, cna’t wait to see our finished product, I wish I could be that proverbial fly on the wall of their 大雞腿 studio when they read the book hahaha.

天空之城在解体!!!!

Hahaha, Ashin went on Enews today, with that Liu Zhi Han as host, and the 2 of them were patronizing each other until I can’t take it. haha “ooh, please come to our concert, u must” and “errrrm, I’ll try to make it as long as I’m not busy”…alamakz, such fake politeness, think Ashin also felt awkward…haha can tell from his body language. TOMORROW!!!

WAAHHH, Tian Kong Zhi Cheng is 2 days away, some of the irc gang flew there today *envy envy*. Haha, been watching Yu Le Xin Wen this whole week, Mayday is counting down to their concert, and comiing up with silly clips to count down haha. Their dancing has got to be hilarious. Haiz, everybody is arguing about the concert tix for Singapore, to go or not to go with “THEM”, can’t make up my min right now. And that stupid SISTIC, the thingy is announced so early, but still no updates on their website. Aiyooo, getting impatient.
