International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta 2009

The 1st Putrajaya International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta 2009 was held from 19th till 22nd March. We went on a Sunday late afternoon. An eye opening experience because never expect the balloon can be sooooooooo BIG!

It was rather hot but the sky was clear and nice.
A lot of professional and amateur photographers were there to capture nice shot.
That made like it a camera exhibition too – long, big, small, DSLR, etc all sorts of cameras you can find.

Flying kites...

Paraflying...

Yes yes, preparing to fly the hot air balloon!

Oh, more air please~

Hooray~ it's F.L.Y.I.N.G!

More balloons...

Sun set in Putrajaya on our way back. Nice?
Made me missing the Cyberjaya sun set days~

Thank-You-Note

Thanks again to dear friends for the lovely gift! :)

为何这么神？

按 理说，像张学友这种上了神台的歌手出专辑或开个唱纯粹自己跟自己玩或者给歌坛来一次复刻回忆，可事实上《学友光年世界巡迴演唱会07》却是一张绝对可以让 后辈歌手汗顏之作，虽然还是有很多像《吻別》、《每天爱你多一些》那种被称为“烂大街”的选曲（但我要强调，这些作品永远都这么好听），甚至是为招牌鼻音 和嘶喊之作和歌舞剧也不缺，但整体溶为一体，却是那么和谐。

而不仅是唱，这一次张学友还是演唱会的製作人，原本应该是卸甲归田的年纪和身份，却又突然玩出一把革新精神，看来悠閒生活並不一定可以使所有人墮 落不醒，只是不知道像飞轮海、蔡依林这些总是以装傻卖笑、閒来耍点所谓魔鬼身材或者有事没事搞些花边新闻的角色们苦心经营的所谓创意点子是不是变得没有意 义。

这张专辑里头的作品已经成精了，整个演唱部分也做到滴水不漏，难得的是不缺少唱功的同时，感情也对位。

以“聚．別”结尾的《祝福》，让一个深情歌神的形象屹立不倒。在一张专辑里把好情人好朋友好老公好老爸一次搞定，张学友的確有点贪，的確他也有太多贪的本钱。

CD（DVD）包装得很精致，回看香港音乐市场已沈沦至此，大家好像没甚么办法，因为音乐本身变得没有价值，张学友却要证明这种观念是不对的，演唱会从音乐整体性上来讲，不算最好可却算得上是他走过这么多年来在个性和市场上皆精准的一张现场收音专辑。

张学友就像个小孩子一样，拿著自己浓厚的本钱，玩著自己喜欢的各式花样，这份松驰的心態带出了一张意图纯粹的动作，少了以往专辑中追求大卖的做作。

我只能说，张学友的首首作品，都有著比情歌更宏大的生命场景，即使没有音乐，心里还是可以轻轻吟唱。

Came across this article on my all time favourite singer - Jacky Cheung. Supposed to be posted earlier but due to Do Re Mi reasons, it wasn't. Hehe. Well, thanks to my friends for the gift and now I am posting about him, finally.

To me, his "神-ness" is just beyond words... Singing skill? Always sing into my heart (sorry, no other better words to describe). Attitude? Always humble and keep improving. Gifted talent + good attitude + determined effort = My Idol :P (no one else can beat him!!!)

Amazing - A Mei

The long awaited concert I've been longing for.
Good. Good. And very good.
She never disappoints me, as always.

How amazing.

Everybody was so high, energetic and touching.
It was not just A Mei's concert. It was everybody's concert because everybody sings!
From the beginning t ill the end.
Even those ma lat lou sitting next to us joined the crowd to dance with their rigid movement and rhythm~ Haha!
Like a huge music class. Really fantastic.

Was Gkai's birthday too.
Everybody sang birthday song, for the dancer and for all birthday boys & girls.
How touching.

Cousin #1 worried about the stadium might collapsed as everybody danced, analyzing which block would be impacted most and concluded that our block should be the safest. Ha~

Cousin #2 kept receivin g phone calls from little son who got worried about dear mommy. Been calling 423984 times to ask, "Mommy, are you back yet?" and called "Mommy, already 11.30pm, are you coming back soon?" Haha, not easy for mother who 'sneaked out' to have fun.

Can't wait for the concert DVD to be released.
Definitely worth for collection.
A-Mei, you're really the diva.
Thank you for the wonderful night :)

一场大病. 一个婚礼. 一份礼物

病了一大场
缠人的咳嗽让人彻夜难眠
带着微弱的身子返乡赴宴











笑脸盈盈的不只有久违的亲友
更有倍增亲切的爱心苦口良药

于是 从不甘示弱兼恼人的咳嗽坏蛋
终于 也抵挡不住爱心攻势宣告败退

啊~ 天晓得原来可以好好睡一觉是那么的幸福!
戒了好久的口也不管他爸的三七二十一食指大开
爽死了!

只有家 苦涩难咽的药也可以变得顺口
只有家 千篇一律的叮咛也可百听不厌

人嘛
东西要稀有方觉其珍贵
回家次数逐渐变少以后
才懂家的温馨

友情
也何尝不是呢?

昔日好姐妹 皆为前途各奔东西
聚会时间也相对减少
难得叙旧何其珍贵也!

女人一生
爱情固然重要
可友情也不容忽视
所谓姐妹淘 正是有心事可以互相诉说
有悲伤一起分担 有快乐一起分享的人

话说回来
告别了三天两夜的家乡小憩
短暂充电让身心灵焕然一新
继而踏上归途重返打拼之地
踏入家门仰入眼帘的
竟是来自远方的祝福 物轻情意重

虽说包装乃嫌抱歉
但却尽诉千言万语
在此衷心向刘大哥曾小妹致万二分谢意!











从前 现在 将后
深厚情谊依然温存
两个女人 叽哩呱啦地
常常聊个天南地北 有完没完
想必刘大哥可吓坏了吧? 哈!

好了
碎碎念完毕
是时候向周公报到了

最后
想祝福一对新人 白头携老
此次婚宴乃不虚此行
对婚礼
又有了新见解

晚安!

更上一层楼

纷纷扰扰了一段日子,
今天也总算有了定局.
是的. 今天终于上12楼了.

开心吗? 尚好.
皆因未能如愿与"他"更进一步接触. 哈!

没关系. 新居风水其实也不赖~
老板们都在我视线之内呢!~ 呵呵 :P
啊, 好有安全感!

好啦, 不多说. 咳嗽咳得真累人!
几乎烦死了整村人. 哈哈!

最后, 想跟12楼说声"Hi 你好!".
希望自此
一切如意
一帆风顺

My Birthday

What do you have for your birthday?
Gifts? Birthday Cakes?
Nah. I've more than just that.

Was "granted" MC (medical certificate) on my birthday.
It was all started on a Sunday night with high fever + bad sore throat.
Since then, it fluctuates like share price, from 39^oC to 36^oC to 38.5^oC.

It became even more merrier on my birthday, as Mr. Fever brought along all the family members (Ms. Cough, Ms. Flu and not to mention Dato' Sore Throat that causes me sleepless nights) to celebrate my birthday. What an honour.

Well if the situation persists, will need to go back to the doctor and have blood test. That is the most worried part - Chikungunya? Hope not. I would naively think it's just because not having enough rest and eating too much chocolate :P

And it's lunch time now, my Dearest Bread and Darling Porridge are waiting for me :)
