MayDaymania - 《恋爱 - ING》 Part II

B and I attended the MayDay's 7th album promotional showcase concert at Stadium Green @ Singapore Indoor Stadium

A couple of months ago, I asked my buddy - B, how she got addicted to MayDay because I swore it was her who got me hook onto MayDay. She revealed that it was her younger sister who introduced her to MayDay as her younger sister is a big fan of MayDay.

And then, one day, while watching TV with her family, B saw MayDay singing 《恋爱 - ING》 and was immediately attracted to that song. I think B told me that she sort of vowed that she was going to sing this song if she ever got a chance to go to karaoke. And then, she waited and waited... ....

8th January 2007, B and I were at the karaoke for the very first time. It was also the first time for B to attend a karaoke session, to hold the mike, to select a song and to sing. She happily selected 《恋爱 - ING》 by MayDay and was happily singing it - it was like a dream came true for her. And that was when someone shove the mike to me and made me sing the song too... ...

This is the beginning of our MayDaymania - 《恋爱 - ING》!

MayDaymania - 恋爱-ING

Who would have thought that I will ever be addicted to MayDay? Let alone attend their concert. But the reality is, I am a MayDay fan now. I do not know what have made me to be so insanely obsessed with them, but, I suppose, as the blogs follow, I will be able to find the answer.

MayDay, a Taiwanses band formed in 1999, consists of Monster (怪兽） - band leader and guitarist, Ashin （阿信） - lead vocalist cum lyricist cum composer, Stone （石头） - guitarist, Masa （玛莎） - Bassist and Ming (冠佑） - drummer. I can remembered very vividly that when I first went to attend their concert in 2007, I could not tell put the name to the correct face, with the exception of Ashin and Monster. I can also remember that in 2007, I liked Monster best and disliked Ashin most!!!

Funny, right?

So, how did this infatuation with MayDay begin? It all began with a song 《恋爱 - ING》... ...

Date: 8th January 2007
Venue: Tanjong Pagar Community Centre KTV

This was the first time I stepped in to a karaoke lounge. I have always felt that karaoke is an unhealthy and indecent activity. Do not ask me why I felt the way I felt, but I just "look down" on karaoke, despite the fact that my parents attend karaoke sessions quite often. In addition, I also felt that karaoke was for people who cannot sing!!!

Nevertheless, and reluctantly enough, I went to the karaoke session with a bunch of colleagues. They made me felt comfortable and soon, I was humming to whatever they were singing. I did not want to hold the microphone and most importantly, I did not want to sing!!! I know, I know, silly right? I felt kind of disgusted. Strangely disgusted... ... I felt tainted and unhealthy and immoral. Till now, I could not understand why I felt that way.

It was close to closing time but I was still reluctant to sing. Someone, I think my Buddy, had already selected and sang 《恋爱 - ING》 by Mayday. By some magical power, the song made everyone quite happy. And then, I found myself singing along to the song when it was being played again although I could not remember who sang it the second time.

Then, my friends shoved the microphone to me and "made" me sing 《恋爱 - ING》 by MayDay as I had not sang a single song by any particular artist the whole evening I was there. Not that I mind, but it seemed to the only song I could sing quite comfortably and managed with ease. And then, we were all singing this song on "repeat" mode at the karaoke.

After that night, I was thinking to myself, it would be fun to attend their concert. That song was so cute!!! A few days or maybe weeks later, my Buddy told me that MayDay was coming to Singapore to do a mini showcase in order to promote their latest album as well as their upcoming "Jump" World Tour and asked if we were interested to attend their concert as her sister was a big fan of MayDay and Monster. Strangely, Ah Juan, PY, S also decided to attend their concert, which was to be held at Expo.

And then, from the day B queued up for the mini showcase and the tickets, life with MayDay is not the same anymore... ...

Updates on MayDay DNA Concert, Singapore

Well, looks like the local papers do not have anything to comment about Mayday's two concerts here in Singapore. All I can say is, both the concerts were fantastically overwhelming.

Althought I have been to their concerts a few times, I cannot help but feel very excited each time I know they are coming and knowing that I will be attending. I am simply addicted to them.

Will update again soon.

Hope you Monday has been good, so far... ..

Where Have I Been???

Sorry, I am very sorry that I have not been able to update for so long. The reasons are as follow, in NO order of merit:

1. I have been obsessed with Facebook, once again!
2. I have been busy being angry with some idiots that I have forgotten that I should be blogging instead of being angry with people.
3. Busy trying to fine tune my thesis.
4. Busy trying to scrapbook.
5. Busy trying to get a decent life.
6. Busy attending concerts.
7. Busy reading other bloggers's blog.
8. Busy "scooping" Big Sweet Land aka BSL at the local arcades. Yes, I am terribly addicted to BSL and confessed to my friends that I have a "BSL demon" in me. It was so bad at one point that I went without my friends!!! I told my friends that I was going home but alas, I went to the arcade at my place to satisfy my craving!!! I was hopeless!!! I think it will take me a while to get to BSL now that EPL has started and I have many more things at hand.
9. I was using this silly mobile broadband plan, which was sort of "in conflict" with my laptop program, so, it was either taking a long time to load a page or I cannot open multiple pages. Annoying. I have a better mobile broadband now but it is still in some kind of "conflict" as it is not as fast as it should be. This problem will be solved once my thesis has been approved.

I will post more stuff from tomorrow or 1st September onwards. Yes, must update about my scrapbooking experiences, concerts experience and football experiences. These are my true loves!!! Not those morons who are always making me angry!!!

Have a good week ahead.

An Organized Mess Part 1

Well, I have been trying to tidy up my room, but it is just not going on well. The weather is too hot and humid and before I can continue for another five minutes, I am drenched in my own sweat.

Now, I just sit and just try not to do much.

These days are just too hot and humid to do anything... ... Will try to update some stuff soon.

Critical???

I just cannot understand why there are people who cannot stop complaining about other people? Are they happier exposing fellow colleagues' weaknesses/faults? Why do they stoop so low as to complain excessively about one's weakness and even report it to the Supervisor? What do they stand to gain out of all these discouraging acts of selfishness?

Complaints, complaints, complaints... ...

I sure hope that these people who derive joy out of complaining/demeaning others will realise that they are often the ones with the biggest problems.

Give others a chance to improve themselves. Advise them, guide them along patiently and I am sure, respect will be earned.

Respect is to be earned, not demanded. Just because one staff is more seasoned than the other, it does not give the so-called "seniors" to demean others. Good teamwork is not only about working together with like-minded people but also helping one another to improve. A senior staff who only criticizes and amplifies a new staff's faults will eventually be the most unpopular person at any workplace and they have only themselves to blame when other staffs begin to distant themselves from them.

Be generous with encouragements and the returns will be more than one can ask for.

Love Him??? Love Him Not???

I have been asking myself lately if I really, truly, tremendously, extremely in love/crush with Teddy Bear. I know this sounds really dumb because on one of my previous entry, I had declared that I am no longer "in crush"/secretly in love with this other guy. However, how far have I let it go? Is Teddy just a spare? Why am not I that interested in Teddy anymore?

What is wrong with me???

Maybe I have been attracted to Wii. Hah! Good excuse!

Will think about it when I am less tired. Gonna wake up at 530am later!!! Yawn.

Having a slight ear infection. Sigh. First, conjunctivitis, then cough, then sore throat, then lose my voice, then sore throat and now, ear infection!!! Gee, something is terrible wrong with my personal hygiene!!!
