Our First Wedding Anniversary

Who would believe the very first wedding anniversary would be spent in such an unique manner...

Acc my dad for massage, pack up old stuffs @ our old house, quick swim @ our new house, dinner @ Kopitiam, celebrate with Beyond, SUPERBAND Finalists, MayDay, past year SUPERBAND Finalists @ Mediacorp...

Usually wedded couples would spent the wedding anniversary in a romantic way but for wify and I, we end up spending half of the day at our old house packing up stuffs to be brought over. That was before we send my dad to a nearby chinese physician for massage. We managed to have a quick swim @ the pool middle noon though before we dolled ourselves up for the visit to Mediacorp in support of my friend's band 'San Yue'....Wify wanted to try out 'Botak Jones', so we went over to the nearby outlet, she was sceptic of the quality of food taking into consideration the amount payable. However, the first bite she took proved her wrong. It was good.

After the meal, we rushed off to Mediacorp for the grand finale of the Superband. I told her to bring camera along...why?? Because BEYOND was one of the guest performer..I'm going skip the competition as I'm still feeling gutted that 'San Yue' didn't make it to the final 2! When a competition goes down to 100% voting, the results may not favour certain crowd. I made countless SMS votes though, but it proved fruitless as some bands somehow had fan-base so strong that thousands of votes were cast in compared to ours'.

So when Beyond came on stage, in fact even before Paul and Ah Wing came up and I'm screaming like I'm the same age as the fans of 'Tu Zi' standing on the left of me.....I feel young once again, chasing after idol days, hoping the idol would have some eye contact with me.....

Coincidentally my outfit yesterday was similar to Paul so when he had some eye contact with me, he kinda smiled alittle...I sang along with them for the 2 songs they played and when they went into the second song, I lifted up my hand showing the peace hand sign and waved along with the song.....Best part, people around me (All the Beyond fans lah) joined in and wave along.....That moment was cool!! I swear I've never dreamt to be so up close to them in my life and till now it still felt like a dream to me. Dream come true I should say...The feeling was so surrreal when they had eye contact with me when they are singing, talking or hearing the cheers from me...I WILL BE AT THE CONCERT. Although Ka Kueng will not be around but our support for music/ Rock 'n' Roll don't just stop here. Ka Kui would be glad to hear all Beyond fans give support and appreciate music not for the way it is but for the way it should be.



P.S.: Lucky that I was standing at the centre of the mosh-pit cause that was the spot allocated to 'San Yue' fans, so when Beyond took centre stage, I 'squeezed' my way to the front row and was speechless as Wify, Xiao Xin and me stand just 2 arms away from our idol.

See that, Ah wing was looking at my direction as Ah Paul waved the peace handsign which I was waving throughout their performance...and even until their performance had ended...My bro saw me on TV and pondered how I managed to get this 'First Class' standing position for that...lol...

One other point to note from the day was also the performance by Mayday.....I thought no one would notice it but both Xiao Xin and her sis also shared the same sentiments as wify that Stone looked like me...Worst still, the way he places his hands while waiting for the results to be announced...I'll post those photos on Facebook for all to view la...though not much cause my priority remains Beyond only...keeee

Till 8 Nov 2008.....See all Beyond Fans @ Indoor Stadium...I will be there, hope to see you there too...

Let's carry on the Rock 'N' Roll Dream~!!!

Filial

Most people find it hard to pronounce the word 'Filial'....Some people find it hard to be filial......The pronunciation key for the word is 'Fil-ee-uhl'......

I personally find it hard to define the word...or should I say categorise people under this word. Wify is one who brings the word to good name. Last night she was suggesting to catch a movie as its' been sometime since we last step into the theatre. However, when we reached home and notice my dad's health ain't that good.....She immediately called off the idea of the movie but instead we went NTUC to buy some stuffs for him instead.

No mention on the rest of the family members though but the understanding of wify on this matter touches me very much. Would most daughter-in-laws had done the same thing if they were in her shoes? Would those people had preferred to carry on lives within their own world, being chauffeured around in spite the other half's poor health condition, at the expense of the other half's career just to be by her side??

I hope not...I really hope not.....Anyway, have been rather disturbed by dad's health and yet have to put a strong front to everyone thus the going is tough on me...I get agitated at the very minor instance and its' like I'm worst than Hulk, practically any minor hiccup can get me turned green!! Thankfully wify being understanding, didn't flare up but instead comfort me to stay strong. I'll be fine....I'll be stronger mentally, physically so as to better myself for the future. Not just personal, my worklife is giving me some hell as I go through the ordeal which I went through last year again. I hate it when I have to go through this, in particular this time round things are really different. Scenario stays the same but the people taking on the roles had some minor changes, that makes it much more difficult than ever before. All these things are making me less vocal these days and kinda makes me have those short term memory thingy...I'll easily forget some important or non-important things said to me within the last 2 hour or so...Hopefully all things shall make a turn and I'll turn over the tide and enjoy the success and joy Liverpool is going through now....I'll carry on the spirit shared by the famous rock band, Beyond which is never to give up!

Talking about that, 2 of the members are in town this weekend to promote their concert on 8 Nov 08 and they'll be guests at the Superband final tomorrow which OF COURSE I'll be attending. Seeing them is secondary for tomorrow as I'll definitely be going to the concert, the primary role for me is to support 'San Yue'....I have no doubts they will emerge winner, I'm just being there tomorrow to witness it... Jia You~!

Love & Peace
