Where were you when "心有独钟" by 陈晓东(Daniel Chan) was playing everyday on 933?


心有独钟

作词:洪尧斌
作曲:洪尧斌
编曲:屠颖

这种感觉从来不曾有 左右每天思绪
每一次呼吸 心被占据
却苦无医 是你让我著了迷

给了甜蜜又保持距离 而你潇洒来去
玩爱情游戏 我一天天失去勇气
偏偏难了难忘记

单单为你心有独钟 因为爱过才知情多浓
浓得发痛在心中 痛全是感动
我是真的真的与众不同
真正为你心有独钟 因为有你世界变不同
笑我太傻太懵懂 或爱得太重
只为相信我自己 能永远对你的心独钟


Do you know this song?  I realized last Saturday that I can remember the lyrics by heart!  Funny that I wasn't even a fan of Daniel's by any standard but then again, this song was probably playing on 933 every day, that's probably why.  

Hao-e and I were at the Polygram concert last Saturday.  The median age of the audience was probably around 40 since Polygram was instrumental in the 80's - 90's canto-pop industry.  We were there mainly because of Linda Wong...  Hao-e's teenage idol crush. Ha!  Although she looked a little matronly, she was friendly, chatty and she sounded very good.  She has never impressed me with her vocals, every time I hear her songs on Hao-e's PC I always think, yeah, she was an idol singer i.e. more looks than talent, and you really can't take a singer very seriously when she's waving/flinging her hands at the wrist every time the chorus comes on right?  But she must have grown some lungs whilst in retirement or maybe she underwent some serious vocal training or perhaps running after kids and shouting for them have strengthened her vocal chords, i don't know... but she sounded good.   She was quick to add that she's happily married (usually singers come out of retirement because they've gotten divorced or have run out of cash).   

Priscilla Chan not only sounded great, she must have traded notes with Vivian Chow and sold her soul to the devil.  That woman doesn't look 49! Omg I wanna look like her when I'm 49. Daniel Chan still has his winning smile although his eyes are suspiciously larger than before.  Is there a non-surgical procedure to enlarge eyes?  On the flip side, Shirley Kwan looked really chwee and she was moody, reticent and not very willing to socialize with her fans.  All of them sang well after all these years though.  There were no frills, no exceptional lighting or impressive sound band, no back-up dancers to distract you, just plain ol' vocals.  It was nice to see them all, almost like attending your high school 20-year reunion party.  So many shared memories, so nice to see them still active, so nostalgic.

Happy Easter!

Busy Easter weekend! Got my screening report from the doctors on Thursday, I have to cut down on sugars, oily food and carbs.... uhoh, nothing about the lumps so i'm grateful. Marc Jacobs bag arrived in the evening, woohoo!   Good Friday was spent in Church and shopping at Sim Lim Square for Hao-e's new PC. Pilates on Saturday morning after a week's break, super out of shape.  think i should probably start doing some exercises at home and maybe go for swim downstairs when i get a chance. Chewy had a good scrubbing session at noon then off to watch Le Noir at Sands Theatre on Saturday afternoon, fun! Cousin-in-law's wedding dinner at Conrad on Saturday evening, no shark's fin which was a bummer. Easter mass on Sunday morning followed by Qingming thingamie at Mt Vernon. Sunday brunch at York Hotel's Penang Hawker Buffet, yum! Watched 1.5 movies too - GI Joe (meh) and SVFV (vulgar).  SVFV was the movie that  was banned and made the h...

dinner at swizzle inn

last night we had a most scrumptious bbq dinner at the original swizzle inn . much much much better than the dinner we had some days back with O and K at the branch in warwick. woo.... i had the char-grilled prime rib and the much famed rum swizzle, while hao-e had the margarita shrimp and strawberry daiquiri. blogging about it brings back nice memories. heh. Oh! C and i found some fresh watercress at the marketplace yesterday. so today's lunch we had watercress soup. i've been yearning for some light clear vegetable soup for some time... especially after a discussion with HL about the lack of vege variety here, and how she spotted kailan on the island! KAILAN !!! how did they manage to get their hands on kailan ?! i was joking with HL that one of the chefs must have secretly brought over some seeds and planted some in his back garden. or else why doesn't kailan appear in the vege aisle of the marketplace as well?! oh, and i bought some canned longan, jackfrui...

Amazon Prime Now - Experience So Far

I use Amazon on a regular basis to bring in my thermacare belts for my lower back.  As an avid online shopper, I buy a lot stuff online amazon, qoo10, etc.  Imagine my excitement when Amazon decided to open a distribution centre locally?  No more shipping to a PO box in US!  No more worrying about buying over US$125 to get free shipping to Singapore! Wow! And holy smokes, 2-hour deliveries! I just had to try it out. So I downloaded the app, (yes, you heard right, you can't order using the regular amazon website on your pc/laptop.  You have to use the prime now app, not even the regular amazon app...) and browsed through the range.  Hmm... that's sort of disappointing... I mean it's nice to have groceries delivered in 2 hours, especially if you decide on the spur of the moment to have a party at home or something, but the products available were certainly limited. I have since ordered from amazon prime now 3 times in the last week. Their deliveries come ...
