I went for my first ever concert this year in 2009 and now there is another first. Went to mediacorp for the first time and watched a tv show recording for the first time. It's 我要唱下去, a.k.a. 百万大歌星.

we were unlucky (or lucky) to have gotten the first row seats. me and bk were in the audience seats in front of the stage while jon, lionel and by were so lucky to be seated in those seats behind the mini stage, which means they will be seen more often on tv. we then had to act as enthusiastic audience who will cheer and scream, wave hands while singing etc etc.... me and bk were sitting in the chen wei lian fan club area, so it seems like we are his fans. the other 3 of them become joi chua's fan.

it took like almost 2 hrs to record a 1 hr show, with lots of pauses in between. they even have to test the key of the music before each of them sang. well, at least i got to see what's going on behind the scene. and i want to watch 百万大歌星 recording in taiwan!!


and now it is exactly 2 weeks to departure. everything is more or less settled. visa done. air tickets bought. modules approved by sch. just waiting for my accommodation to come and to see if i can get the modules i want in cuhk. looking forward to 4 months plus of fun and travelling! gotta watch the budget though....

and there is a special moment today (or rather yesterday)
At 12.34pm, 56 sec on 7th august 2009, it is actually 12:34:56 7/8/09!
