<<1, 2, 3 到你>> concert featuring chet lam, the pancakes, & ketchup was awesome!!  my illness didn’t prevent me from enjoying this great  show:  clapped hard despite my seemingly-incurable left wrist pain and yelled loud in spite of my sore throat.  :P  chet lam’s live performance, like usual, could only be described with one word:  “captivating”.  when he sang <<細水長留>> in espanol, i realized i wasn’t captured by anything but his voice.  little have i been so attentive to a performance have i little knowledge of the lyrics.  but this time it’s different.  i said to myself, “how can i not love this guy??”   and with his harmonica and flute, i can’t but admit that i’m a fan. (long since i’ve admitted that i’m a fan, since the time of the beatles and alan tam.)  can’t believe he sang all (but ALL) of my fav songs (by him).  haven’t even warmed my seat when he sang <<離開, 是為了回來>> (a jazzy, light version, which, coincidentally suit my recent mood) and <<the best is yet to come>>.


 

ken from ketchup is worth listening to too.  he has such a 黃子華feel:  both his style, his words, and his voice.  (yup, my dearest lily, you’ll like him for sure.)  his low profile is kinda 討好too.  i like his singing, and enjoyed his songs, but when it’s chet’s turn to sing, he just got overshone.  nonetheless, i wanna buy his albums, which are quite rare, after the concert, but they were sold out.  will look for them later on.  hopefully he didn’t keep them all to himself.

 

an all-round enjoyable nite.

still high from da music,

p.s.  i thought i was enjoying the 911 show so much partly because of the person i saw it with, but it turned out that it’s the music I’m truly enjoying.  i was so high tonite, stood for most of the show, (despite the relunctance of my oh-not-so-young sis by my side).  even though the words and lyrics still reminded me of my suppressed emotions, (and still wet my eyes), i was removed from my usual sentimental self, truly immersed into the music.  realized it was the magic of da music afterall…

have seen lotza movies lately.  have lotza thoughts while in the theatre, and many quotes that i’d like to recall.  but can never remember them exactly once i’m outta there.

dunno why i can so easily relate words to my own experiences.  聯想力與感情都太豐富罷?

got an inspiring thought during sunday’s mass though.  (i am thankful for the thorough explanation from my dearest mom.)  the sermon was about jesus fighting against satan’s temptation during the 40 days of lent.  as a human being, jesus quoted words from the bible in response and proved his faith.  we all face these temptations in our every day lives, especially during times of weaknesses.  instead of surrounding myself with (often self-pitying) thoughts from songs and movies, why couldn’t i turn to the bible for inspiration and guidance through life?  with this thought in mind, i hope i can get through life’s hard time.

ready to spread my wings,

p.s. there might be a bit too much personal thoughts involved in the moview and lyrics pages.  most of them are experiences in the past year.  when asked if 2003 is of any particular significance, i answered that it was by far the most unforgettable in my entire life.  you guys’ll probably be too bored to read those long writings. (joe won’t even try reading them, as he’ll be sound asleep by now.)  but if you do care to take a look, you’ll notice that they are organized in chronological order, and you might be able to grasp what’s going on in my life and the motives behind them.  or better yet, read them as a story, told my your dear friend from afar.

got complains from grace saying my page has too little stuff in it.  aiya, what do you expect man?!  i've full time (often overtime) work, have to tutor part-time, volunteer (at spca, in case you're wondering.  yeah, i’m missing my dogs so much that i’ve to go play with other dogs.), taking one exam every month (see news), and still have to maintain a webpage!!!!  geez, no wonder i’m having quadruple eye bags.

oh and just in case you haven’t noticed, there’s a menu on the side which include some more links.  and my selected quote, updated now and then.  do have a look.

bored in office,

didn’t know why i started this page.  didn’t know why i named it “...odds & ends”.  didn’t know what to put in here as a first launch.  realized that i didn’t know nothing afterall.

got too many interests in my life.  so many topics / pages i wanna start  but know for sure i won’t have time to finish up.  just like my homepage and my dogs’ homepage.  有頭無尾, that’s me.

special thanx to dav for giving me the link to the open source web design.  saved me a lot of time.  i know, i’m not or 聽話 and should have studied for linux and CRE instead~~  but this is way more interesting man.

by the way, you’ll have to bear with my “no capitalization” style of writing.  have fun.  and merry christmas.

cheers,
…vivi @ hk

 p.s.  was rushing to launch the page on christmas day, so some links are not available yet.  many apologies.  still remember last year’s christmas day.   was talking to a good friend on icq about everything, anything.  how happy life would be if i were to return to the past...
