Fairy Tale

Haha. I'm no more a kid. But sometimes, I still like fairy tales.

This, is about Michael Wong's fairy tale. Hmm... or not?

Anyway, it was a wonderful time at his concert. There were two performances, one last night, and one tonight. I guess tonight's show will be even more exciting and high!

The venue wasn't as jammed as the time during Sam Hui's concert. Maybe coz this was at the indoor stadium. And as I have guessed, the VIP tickets that we got wasn't really in front of stage. In fact, there were even VVIP, and SVVIP seats!! Wow... why let those who won't groove to the music sit so close?? geesh...
Somehow, some (or many) people seem to be there because they got complementary tics. (There was a grandma sitting next to us, who seemed to take it as a lullaby..!) Like us.

But we did enjoy it. So did the cute little girls of cousin Boon. Haha... They were another entertainment besides Michael Wong. YZ and I were as usual, the most excited one of our group. Screaming and shouting so much!

Well, I admit that I'm not such a huge fan of his, and that was why I couldn't sing along more than half the songs. Many are familiar though. Super nice ones. Most popular ones. The well-known ones. They were all so wonderful...

The concert started off with a song with a little magic and mysterious performance. 2 persons came on stage, one in white and one in black. they were both hooded, and sang the song [Tian Shi] (Angel) *Such a great melody!* Initially the one in white appeared to be Michael. After the song ended, the black one stood behind the White, and a huge "BOOM!" was heard with fireworks on stage! The lights went off, and when the stage was lighted again, the black one was standing there alone. And wala! That was Michael! Again! haha...

A good try for a great show. But their trick was caught by me. somehow, not like many people, my attention wasn't distracted by the bang and fireworks. I saw the 'black guy' 'tore' the White jacket off the 'white guy', and jumped into a hole near by. That left the white guy WEARING the same black suit! So, it was the same person, Michael!

But then, maybe it was less fun catching the trick. So guys, next time you watch magic shows, don't observe too much!

About the stage. It was a huge one, very large for the size of the audience. But that was much better, it offered more interaction between him and the audience. He agreed with that, when he stood on the extended stage in the middle.

And his suit. They were basically in white, especially his trousers. He wore strap for 2 or 3 suits, which... looks funny. Balck shirts, shiny neck-ties, and in the end, a red-colored jacket. These were it. Not very glamourious, but he looked stunning.

It was until the song [Di Yi Ci] (First Time) that I really get to sing. There was a part of the show when he appeared with a beautiful piano. I love piano performances, in fact, any musical instruments' performances. And of course, he played well. He even danced during a more groovy song. Lots of room for improvement, hehe...

When he sang [Wo Ni De Shou] (Hold Your Hand), he came down the stage to have hand shakes with the fans. However, while he was still in front, the back here was starting to get uncontrolled. This ended up with Michael not able to come shake hands with us. Oh...too bad, so unfortunate. Cousin Heck (again) managed to shake hands with him though, as he change to the front seats!

I thought he would be singing [Tong Hua] (Fairy Tale) as encore, butI was wrong. It was the so-called 'final' song. For encore, he presented a new song of his, [I Am Who I Am]. Still the same old style of his, but nice.

The concert last for about 3 hours, ending at 11.10pm. Quite satisfied, and enjoyed a lot. It may not be as exciting as JJ's concert, but it was equally good. Later on, we went for supper. By the time we reach home, it was few minutes past one.

It was a pity Jin wasn't able to go, as she will be sitting for PMR this week, starting tomorrow. Wishing her all the best. I hope she makes it through, and I know she will. Good luck, Jin!
Nevermind, she surely will attend David tao's concert!! Can't wait!
