Maydaymania - 《五月天离开地球表面》极限大碟

Mayday doing an online interview with the crowd at Bishan Junction 8, the Outdoor Plaza. This was an event for pre-ordering their 2007 JUMP World Tour concert CD or CD+DVD. They release this compilation just weeks before their sold-out 3 days flagship concerts at Taipei Arena, Taipei, Taiwan. One lucky audience who was also at this launch event got to walk away with a pair o all-expense-paid trip to see them at Taipei Arena. Lucky!!!

I got the compilation with the septia tone.

For most who do not know that little bit about me not liking Mayday initially, one may think that I am a huge/number 1/die-hard/hardcore fan of Mayday. Yes, who have guessed that I got addicted to them only in 2007! Even I find if difficult to convince myself that I am a MayDay fan now.

I must admit that I was one of those in the crowd who was so moved by their concert that I nearly cried. Strange right? Especially when their last song was a medley of their own number and one of Hong Kong's rock band Beyond's " Paradise". Strangely enough, I could sing Paradise much better than their other song in the medley - 《倔强》.

Anyway, what happened after the concert was a rapid addiction to their works as well as catching up on their latest activities and news online and on any media, be it magazines or tv or online. When I found out the so-called fan club in Singapore, I even emailed the president of the fan club to find out more about their club.

And while listening to the radio, I heard about them launching a CD compilation of their JUMP concert songs. Just a compilation of some of the songs sung at the concert! I got so excited that I went to the shop to pre-order it immediately. And when the announcement of their online video conference was released, I asked Juan if she was interested to go to Junction 8 at Bishan to attend the event. Juan is truly the Monster of our gang. She gladly accepted the invitation.

So, about one month later, Juan and I attended the launch, laughed at the clips shown, talked about their works, took some very shaky pictures of video conference, trying to look for our faces when the organiser released clips of their concert in Singapore and of course, while neither of us was lucky enough to win the all-expense paid trip to Taipei, both of us got a copy of their 《知足》 KTV compilation VCD and a mouse pad of their “Born to Love" mouse pad. Juan was very very very sweet because she gave the mouse pad to B!!!

Of course, I was very happy.

If there is one thing to make me truly happy, that will be to attend a Mayday concert with friends and fellow MayDay fans. Now, I must find a boyfriend who will be willing to either attend or support me to attend the MayDay concerts.

I am MayDay crazy!
