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...

Forgive and Forget

it's been a long time since i've written anything of a serious nature. i try to keep this blog lighthearted but some things have been bugging me lately and i need to ventilate and detox myself. so please bear with me as i spurt and sputter some bad blood. one, because of man A's negligence, my start date has been delayed till further notice. was rather upset about it, not because i was looking forward to what i thought i was about to do, but because once again, my plans have been thwarted by things and people beyond my control. i should have been able to start in july had hao-e's permanent work permit been granted right after his first temporary work permit lapsed. BUT, it didn't happen that way cos hao-e had to settle for a second temporary work permit as they tried to sort out his permanent one. now, with this delay, i'm not sure when i can begin contributing to the "save stella" fund. [C was really cute today as i told her the amount that i ...
