I am now at my workplace, nothing much to do, so I need to find things to keep myself entertain~
So I ended up reading all the blogs that were linked to my blog... Its been a LOOOOOOONG time~~ Most of them have already changed their blogskins. It's been a LOOOOOOOONG time since I see them as well~ Not in person, not even at the forum where we all got to noe each other.

Well, people progress and advance. So did them, so did I. I am not trying to complain about anything here, I just suddenly remembered the very wonderful, happy days I had at that forum. Although now I still visit there the moment I log on to internet, but I no longer felt the urge to posts. Because, there is now some sort of "ailen-ness" when I read those posts now.

I was asking Ah Tan yesterday, hmmm~ 不知道31號在機場會遇到誰~ She just said "the usual people loh~" But I know probably not... In place of those "usual people", there will be lots of "other people". Other people whom I have never met and dun feel like knowing.

突然之間,在我腦海裏的時空仿佛回到了2005年1月14號。那是我身平第一次爲了"偶像"跑到機場去。那時的我,一個人也不認識,也不被任何人認識。我並沒有希望回到那個時候,只不過想再一次感受當一個簡單的歌迷的心情,不需要去和其他人做眼神上的較勁,不需要回答任何人的疑問,只想和我珍惜的人,開開心心地做我想做的事,不需要理會其他人會怎麽想,會有什麽評語。尤其是一些孬種的人。這些人不是膽小哦~ 只不過不原忠實地面對自己。

JUMP! 離開地球表面世界巡迴演唱會 -- 5月5號 香港紅磡

woohoo~!~! Its time to record my wonderful memories from HK concert!!!

The opening VCR was really really GOOD!!! It's no longer those budget, self-shot kind :p can see that this one has got lots of budget involved! And also, the acting skills of all 5 of them improved tremendously!!! As usual, some parts are quite comical and lame.... But overall, the theme is what they have been hoping for -- World Peace.

The various themes that piece up this concert are quite obvious. And you can see the obvious reasons why the rundown of the songs is the way it is. I will only write in details the things they said. Others will just be a song list.

1) 武裝 -- The visual for this song damn power!!! lots of fireworks and those stage crackers! Very nice!! Very well coordinated with the song.

2)香水
3)風若吹
4)軋車
5)為愛而生
6)晚安,地球人 -- Dun really like the rearrangement of this... the tempo of the son is slower and less rock factor.

7)瘋狂世界 -- This is sort of like a medley together with the above. Love the way they transit from 晚安,地球人 to this song!!! A pleasant surprise and yet not too much!!

8)雌雄同体 -- Its almost like the ablum version. Just that its longer and have to jump until you can't catch any breathe! I was like... Oh man... when is the 閒奏 going to end?? I can't breathe le!! :p

9)離開地球表面 -- I seriously din know this is a brand new song... I thought it's a song by some Hong Kong singers... But yet, the lyrics of the song totally fit the theme of the concert. Keep asking people to jump n jump! It's very catchy and has this early 90s kind of style in it. Here is the only phrase from the chorus 一顆心 撲通撲通的狂跳。It's like 雌雄同体,the minute you hear the chorus, you will just jump with it.

10)透露
11)時光機 -- WOOHOO~!~! Peirong's ultimate favourite song is here!!!! Super surprise that Ashin actually sang it!! This is like the song for the other 4 to go rest and change. So its only Ashin and Xiaozhou Laoshi. This is the FIRST time I heard this song LIVE!!!!! So touching sia~~ Although I think it will be even more touching if Ashin din say what he said prior singing the song. He said something blah blah bla den 真希望時光可以停留在這個時候,就讓我們啓動時光機吧~
Similar to the new version of 知足,the other 4 came into the song towards the ending of the song, to give it a little soft rock feel.

After Ashin went to change, the 4 continued with a rather long instrumental piece. It's like an extention to 時光機.

12)天使
13)摩托車日記
14)孫悟空
15)阿姆斯壯 -- Now its all the 人物 in their songs. And this is also the FIRST time I hear this song live!!! I like this song too!! ahaha...

16)約翰藍農 -- It seems to me that Ashin got a problem with this song... I still haven't hear him start off this song with the right key! His beginning is always off!! It's been like that since ABC concert, the 1st night of HK concert and the 2nd night was even worse...

17)我 -- Prior to singing this song, there is a small conversation between Ashin and a shadow on the screen... no comment about it...

18)垃圾車 -- They appealed to the audience to make as much noise as possible with any parts of the body. They themselves held tambourines and sang this song together. After singing a few lines, the song transit into the following song.

19)寵上天 -- Got hand gesture for this song!!! So FUN!!! haha... There is also an additional video to this song, with all th 技師 inside. Its quite funny oso!!

20)知足 -- Its the soft rock version!! Heard it before in 為愛而生 concert. I totally LOVE this version!!! Ashin sang some parts differently, SO NICE!!! :p

21)一千個世紀 -- Ashin managed to hit the 2nd highest key using 真音!!!

22)擁抱 -- Ashin, Stone and Monster performed this song while sitting at one side of the stage. Before beginning this song, Ashin said:
今天特別有感覺,因爲現場都是很熟悉的朋友。有些認識一年,有些比較久,認識了八年。
今天尤其有一位朋友~
大家知道我最近跨刀拍了MV。獻出了一個~~ 呵呵~ 可是我最想吻的人不是她。(At this point of time, I seriously thought Selina was here :p) 今天一位我想吻的人到場了。奶茶你在嗎?呵呵~
如果是你,我就很願意~ 呵呵~~~

Den after saying this, Ashin began singing~ loving you~ is easy cos you're beautiful~
blah blah~ Den everybody was like Woohoo~~~ haha... den 劉若英 was super paiseh, keep covering her mouth with her hand~ I was waiting to see if Ashin dares to sing the "making love with you, is only thing I wanna do~" :PPP Cos he sang that on the 1st night. As expected~ He didn't! He just covered that part with dadada~

23)追 -- Masa's piano solo time.

其實心中有很多的話哦~ 不知道怎麽講。那去年其實 er... 回去之後啊~ 在紅磡辦完演唱會,好像回去就變了一個人喔~ 然後就是那種平常不理我的那個親戚哦,也打電話來:欸!其實台灣的一個樂隊來到紅磡香港辦演唱會是從小到大沒有聼過的事,沒有做過的夢。但是有你們,我們做到了!他們問我說呢~ 腳踩在紅磡體育館的感覺是什麽。我說~ 我不知道。因爲我去年太緊張了。今年呢,要好好的感覺一下。( By this time, Ashin started taking off his shoes.)到底踩在紅磡體育館是什麽感覺。( By now, he was taking off his socks. And Masa gave a disgusted look on his face :p Den everybody started shouting 脫掉!脫掉!

After Ashin took off his shoes n socks, he shouted: 感覺就是~
But before he can finish that sentence, Monster followed suit and Masa followed as well. Stone was super 遲鈍。He only starts taking off his shoes when Monster and Masa left only with their socks. So Ashin got to wait till everyone was done. Den everybody shouted for Guan You. But Ashin say: 他脫鞋,腳很臭的。=xxx 沒有~ 因爲他要打鼓~ 現在不想聼感想嗎? 要講嗎?猜一猜感想是什麽!兩個字啊~ 好爽啊~~~~ 現在一起來唱下面這首歌 -- 溫柔。

OK~ the OS still no change... But Ashin's live version of this song has definitely improved alot!!! Its more like the album version, with more power and more gusto! ;DDD The song that follows was 憨人。After the 1st verse just before the chorus, Ashin said this: 雖然聼過很多次,我還是很驚訝。爲什麽香港人會唱台語歌?After this was 人生海海。So, this wrapped up the concert before encore.

The 2 songs for encore was Paradise by Beyond, Chinese version and 倔強。
Nothing much on these two~ But was definitely surprise that not many sang along Paradise~ hmm.... I thought Beyond was like the ultimate idol in HK rock scene? Maybe because it's not in Cantonese.. But the "Oh~ Para Paradise" part should be universal isn't it?

Anyway~ After the encore, audience was supposed to sing the song 相信。 This was proposed by My-Mayday forum... A similar forum to our mdmd.net lah~ It din succeed until like 10min where everybody kept shouting Encore! 五月天! etc... it's very difficult to coordinate a crowd of 10,000 without microphone u know? In the end, only the 啦啦啦 part was heard :p
But I must say!! Hong Kong audience was FANTASTIC!!!! yup! actually, there were alot more Hong Kongers at the concert this year! Compared to last yr... which was full of PRCs... 難怪香港有一個所有華人歌手都想要征服的紅磡體育館!They are what I call, REAL concert-goers! Usually, after the encore, most people would have left the venue... But for this concert, 95% of the audience just STOOD (not sit ah!) at their seats and joining in with all the screams, shouts, wave, boo-ing of the announcement etc~ It's really touching to see almost 99% of the audience were actually standing!!! I don't know about last year cos my position was too blinded to look at the whole stadium. But I do know that on 5月4號,the seats were only 3/4 filled and audience wasn't that spontaneous.

Overall, Hong Kong Concerts were GREAT GREAT GREAT!!! FANTASTIC!!! MARVELOUS!!! SO MUCH better than last year! It's pretty obvious that they were not in good terms with each other last year. But this year, they were the same old Mayday we used to know! ;DDD I only have one regret.... I wasn't with the people I wish to be with most! It will be the BEST concert in my life for a long long time if it's with them...
