Long Weekend Fun Part II

Well, went down to watch Jolin's Dancing Diva concert on Sat (7th April), held at the Singapore Indoor Stadium. Got the 130 tix for this concert.....initially wanted to buy tix off this chap who was selling it on MINDEF eForums, but he kept jacking up the price for no reason and it really irked me. He was selling the tix that faces the stage, but then they were only the 80 dollar one and he wanted to sell me at over 180 for a pair......must be thinking i was desperate to see jolin shake her booties......Crap, so i went ahead and bought tix from SISTIC instead....serve him rite if he was lying.. i was actually quite ready to pay him the original price or slightly more if he was trustworthy.....

Anyway, took Cao's car down to Lido area to pick up Jaamie after her yoga before setting our for dinner at Oasis (this restaurant place beside Indoor)...went for teochew/taiwan porridge there....while waiting for Cao to finish his geh seh getup rugged look in his denim jacket, we took more photos...of ourselves of course: (blurry again as usual)



was raining 猫和狗 that day man....had to leave home with my super duper Esso umbrella (the one with the tiger/leopard/cheetah whatever skin underneath)

Enuff digressing...back to the porridge, went there once before with Cao, Alan and Chuan, and their respective counterparts, but seriously, I dun remember much of it, but qm seems to remem that we got served by some old ladies, and the place was a bit darker...This time round.. the waiters/waitresses were young ppl in their 20s... and the place seemed renovated (I highly doubt that but haha whatever)....1 Thing haven't changd though....the food was STILL mediocre...they lose to 阿里山 hands down man....and 阿里山 is only 5 min walk from my house.....

Best thing that occurred before the concert was......Cao sported chanyx queueing up to enter too!! was utterly surprised by this, hope if she sees this she will explain herself... oh well....at least i did not see Marcus there...if not I will definitely think that i was having a nightmare...(joking) Chanyx seems to be watching the concert with 2 of her sisters...(i think it is la, oly recognise one as her sister....mebbe the other one is their fren......oh well :P )

Well anyway, think i shocked her with the revelation that Jolin had G cups. Her eyes went very round when i said that, then i reassured her that Taiwan ppl had a different standard of measuring bust size, compared to singapore... here C is unimaginable oredi... well i learnt how to convert from watching 我猜，我猜，我猜猜猜。吴宗宪 once said that H cups were useful as they can be rested on the table like 贡品. lol, so i guess this helps u visualise.... anyway chatted with chanyx for a while then had to enter to find my seat.....

...which happens to be at the side (really at the side.... we were really close to the stage but we were right at the edge.....had a wonderful side profile of Jolin the whole night :) and also the dancer's when they rushed on and off the stage...) think this photo of the stage where i am sitting shld give u the rough idea of how 'side' i was lol:

Decided to pay attention to the concert, so we did not take photos of jolin during the concert....only have photos of us (again) b4 concert started lol:
Well, only comment i had after the concert was that if 1 day Jolin lost her job as a singer, she can go become a contortionist... hehe she seems to enjoy stretching herself in impossible directions...OUCH.... scary sia...

She made a grand entrance at the start, rising up out of the grd with her legs in a 'split' position thru 2 hand rings (those type a gymnast use to perform the swing here swing there stunt) She was also in this nice glossy metallic blue dancing suit...skimpy as usual but not bad la....

She alternated between fast dancing songs and slow emotional songs (to rest), but i must applaud her, she was in very high heels the whole night, whether she was dancing or not... it's quite incerdible that she never twisted her ankle....bleah...i noe i noe u would sey, "her dancers also ma, what is so special?", but the fact is, some dances, the dancers were in sports shoes,to give the funky hip hop image, but poor jolin insisted on heels...(think she too short la) but hey, dancing in heels really very challenging leh, somemore her dance moves not all the dainty dainty type one somemore.

Hehe, noticed 1 thing abt the audience that night (we sat down early so got a lot of time to sit quietly and observe the crowd), realised a lot of mummies and daddies brought their kids (and i really mean pri sch kids) to watch Jolin....think this is what kids watch nowadaes....kinda weird, can u imagine bringing ur whole family to watch a concert tog when their average age is ard 10? lol...what's more is that....THEY WERE ALL HOLDING THE 170 DOLLAR TIX.....bleah, all of them went down and sat right in front......now u will really see the weirdness man, eg. man, wife plus his 3 kids = $850.....enuff to pay for a trip to batam le.....family fun nowadaes seem very diff from what i have come to expect...man...i am really getting old....haha ...it is also fun to see the small kids holding cylume sticks (i still remem the ARMY term for lightsticks!! yeah baby) and shaking them off beat to the music....really cute and therapeutic (or however u spell this word)

Anyway, i went into the concert with not much expectations so i came out quite enjoying the show, unlike chanyx, who tot 'it was alright only' haha, old woman le, last time she always full of energy. k la but i must agree with the tabloids that she was not very good at 带动气氛. She tried to make the crowd more interested but the response was all the way lukewarm at best, but then she lied with her eyes open by seying, "你们是我到过的地方最热情的观众。"..-_-!!!

Oh well, at least she never lost heart. Learnt a few technical taiwan terms which are the equivalent of our singlish terms. 人体海浪 = Kallang Wave. she made us do it over and over. haha like national day man...so patriotic...yet so farni. haha

Another thing is her ang mo really quite weird...She pronounced 'Sorry' as 'Soori', making it sound really french (even though i dun noe french...haha was thinking of soiree). and she could not pronounce this brand which no one could decipher...except QM!!! kudos to her man....she figured out that Jolin was trying to proounce.....'Salvatore Ferragamo'!!! diao.....she took like 5 seconds and she went like 'saaaa......ver.......tori........fur....阿咖摸.' sounds very mystifying to me until i was enlightened....

After the concert, we adjourned to Jaamie's house for our regular MJ.... and this time I got to play with her 85 year old granny!! professional man, and she stayed up the whole night to play with us.... and she was so much more alert than us... haha can count the tiles right after dice roll, and can shout 'pong' faster than a speeding bullet, ok faster than an old speeding bullet (joking), thoroughly enjoyed myself even though i think she really banned me that night lol. Jamie dun worry, i enjoyed her company!! Give her back the 30 dollar she paid me, when u see her again, k? don't wanna be branded as a con-artist who tricks old luvly grannies!!!

Best weekend in weeks!! Roars!!! haha
