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.

Jay Chou

Blasting Jay Chou into my ears with my broken ear-phones.. hee. I still love him so much! one of those singers whose songs cause my body to move and groove to the rhythm. just feel like dancing. my interest in mr chou waned though in recent months due to his new gf. i mean she's an improvement over jolin but i still think she's a bit ah... how shall i put it, not very nice. somehow i feel she's mean. not as guai and angelic as she looks. still have a soft spot for ppl who are nice. why can't ppl be nice? i'm trying to be nice. (my new mantra - " Be nice ") haha. i mean people who know me from before know i'm quite harsh and critical and unforgiving. so nice has got be a NEW mantra for me. Next thing you know, i'll be meditating in a nunnery atop a mountain with a thousand steps cut into it. every morning i'll be climbing down those steps to fetch a pail of water... and jack and i will fall down the hill with the pail and all... yikes, ...

Shujun's Birthday!!

Seems like yesterday when the new year 2005 started.. now it's May, and we've celebrated Beek's, Lihui's and Wanping's birthdays. Time seems to be passing too fast for birthdays for i refuse to admit that i'm older [again], yet it passes too slowly when i'm sad or down. Ah well, life isn't a box a chocolates. nor a piece of cake. it's full of cakes! birthday cakes especially. in 2 days, one of my best mates will be turning 24. it's been more than a decade, us knowing each other from sec sch days. haha! I just want you to know that you'll always going to be my lap cheong. my very cute friend who can sing "one night in Beijing" in both guy and gal's voices and break the record too! my ultra loyal friend who stuck by me all these years, listening to my whining and complaints. i have a lot of respect for ppl who can stand my nonsense, cos well, i'm not an easy person to like.. ask my buddies they'll tell you. [better still, ...

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. (*_*)
