Jay Chou The Era World Tour 2010
This is probably the most anticipated concert of the year. I mean, after all, it had set a national record of being the fastest selling concert in history. Internet jammed just 30 minutes after the opening sales. Within 2 hours, all 10000 tickets are snapped up. This is including people queuing at Sistic outlets as well, which one told me after 5 hours of queuing still didn’t manage to get any ticket. This happened for all 3 sessions of his concert. Illegally, ticket prices soared to a record high of SGD$2500 per ticket on online sites.
That is Asia’s Prince Of Pop I’m talking about.

I think he rightfully deserve the accolades after watching the concert. And I can dare say that because I too have watched his Shanghai’s concert. I can see he really puts in effort to do his best and making sure he shuffles his song list, adding different songs in different concert to cater to the local fans. During his concert, he puts in 100% despite having toured around China before his Singapore stop where he did 3 nights of concert in a row. I have only one word for my idol: RESPECT.
Jay’s concert this time was complete different from the previous few. For one he emphasised a lot on visual effects this time round. Not only, he is the first Asian artiste I see that uses such technology. His piano was also custom made for this concert. Throughout the concert he managed to make the crowd high, stopping in between to interact and crack a joke or two with the fans.
The surprise of the concert was his guest artiste who was not his guest artiste. Stefanie Sun was at the concert and during his song 想你就写信，the camera man suddenly zooms into Stefanie and soon after he mixed his song into Stefanie’s 眼泪成诗，sending the crowd into a frenzy.
The only disappointing part of the concert is the special guest artistes which are all the same through the entire tour, except the one in Taiwan where pop diva Jolin starred. Lara, who was present also didn’t sing the famous 珊瑚海 which the crowd had been expecting.
Overall it’s a great concert. It’s definitely worth watching. And I’m saying this as someone who went to watch after 48 hours of no sleep. Lol.

After a hectic week of work, the song is finally done! Production for the song and MV was quite hard. I got my first experience of producing a song all alone. Personally I feel quite satisfied with the end product, though there are still room for improvements. I will try harder and hopefully my next works will be better.
Anyway I hope everyone likes the song and MV as we all burnt many nights just to produce it. I hope everyone can help spread the love around by helping promote it. This is also my first personal MV.
I would like to thank the following people for making this production a huge success!
Boss, for planning the whole idea.
Edwin Da Ge, for being there through the entire production, encouraging and giving ideas!
The Team: Jessica, Llyod, Ryan, Benson and Yvonne for burning so many nights to produce such a lovely MV. You guys rocks!
RIG artistes and talents for supporting this MV.
Teffy for giving life to the song with his wonderful arrangement and mixing skills.
Lawrence for helping me do the recording and vocal production.
And many others whom I left out (my apologies).
Thank you all!
This song is a tribute to the nation where I grew up and I like how 黑夜老师 wrote the lyrics, filled with hope and encouragement, it’s really a song dedicated to the Gen-Y to work hard and pursue your dreams. Including 10 other NDP song titles (this song inclusive) in the lyrics was also another thing which I like about the song.
Hope you all like it too. (”,)

Have been sick for the past few days. And to make matters worse, a lot of problems come rushing in all of a sudden. Why do bad luck like to ride on high speed whenever we are down? I wish someone or something can help solve all the impending problems.
I feel so stuck. Feel so useless. Feel so.. Sad..
Been pretty moodless these days. I dont know how to carry on anymore.
Hope tomorrow’s show can be successful at least. Hope my illness doesnt weigh me down. Pray. Haiz.

Bioskin Episode 3 & 4
Went to film the short clips for Bioskin’s Episode 3 and 4 today! Will be aired on TV in 2 weeks time. So do stay tuned!
The bus missed us and went ahead to the venue at first because Veron 姐 couldnt recognise us. Lol. She said I had slimmed alot and Eve had changed her hairstyle also. So we ended up waiting for 45 minutes outside the radio gate.
Something interesting happened while waiting. We saw one of my favourite actress Lee Ying Zhu! She got off her car to drop off some stuffs to the Mediacorp staffs but while doing so her thigh got into a terrible cramp and she sat in her car with her doors opened for pretty long. Eve and I didnt know whether to approach her but we did in the end and she spoke to us abit. She’s so motherly! After 15 minutes, she got better and she thanked us and left. Lol.
Me and my “wife” Eve. Lol.
Ok, now for part two of my Shanghai trip!
Ice cream for dessert!
That’s all for now. More to come! (”,)

Here are some pictures from yesterday’s welcoming gathering!
Overall I think everyone did their best in the competition but still in every competition, there’s bound to be a winner and heartbreakers and I’m glad Natri won. She totally deserves it for her wonderful performance today. Joy and Max did well also, just that maybe luck wasnt on their side. But nevertheless, two thumbs up to everyone!
Alright, more photos can be found on my Facebook. Will upload my Shanghai pictures soon. I promise! But for now, it’s a long tiring day. Gonna rest. Nights!
