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...

The Tudors

I just realised how good looking Jonathon Rhys Meyers is? Gosh, i just love his chiseled face and beautiful eyes. Anyway, so i chanced upon this new series loosely based on THE Henry VIII, second king of the Tudor Dynasty. You guys should watch it if you are as besotted with him and as fascinated with anything royal as i am. hehe.... So i went to find out a bit more about the rather infamous king on wiki and here's some trivia about his eventful life ( i bet, with so many women around him?!) Technically, Henry was only married twice. Four of his marriages were annulled which means they never took place. His court jester was named Will Somers . The only surviving piece of clothing worn by Henry VIII is a cap of maintenance , awarded to the Mayor of Waterford , along with a bearing sword, in 1536 . It currently resides in the Waterford Museum of Treasures . Henry VIII was the first member of the English Royal Family to wear silk stockings.
it's funny how you learn things about yourself - your likes and dislikes - every single day. here's a list of dislikes: eager beavers people who fake an accent people who talk more than they do people who claim credit when they've done nothing (oh! old debts) back-stabbers gossipers (is there such a word?) that stir up trouble like there ain't enough of that already?! inconsiderate people .... more to come, i just know it is it too much to ask to have decent people around? there's a chinese saying, that even on the same hand the fingers are of different lengths. but is it really impossible to have everyone cross a certain threshold of decency and not stick out like a sore thumb? i've often wondered why some 40 year olds act the way they do - as if they hate the whole world. i think i'm in danger of being that sort of 40 year old as the list gets longer, and i meet more obnoxious people. argh.
