A disappointing F1 Rocks, 24 September 2009

It was supposed to a historical moment for Singapore, for the celebrities involved, for the drivers (or should i say racers) and also for those who attended the F1 race/concert. It was Singapore's First Concert for the F1 - F1 ROCKS! Yet, most of us left with disappointment...

I attended the first performance on 24th September 2009. I left home with high level of enthusiasm and passion. One of the main reason was also because I could get to see my idol, Jacky Cheung perform again.

We arrived at Fort Canning Park about 6pm. Without proper signages (First disappointment), we found ourselves together with a whole batch of people standing at the wrong stage.

"The main stage is below", we were told by one of the ushers.

After much climbing and walking, we finally found the main stage and settled ourselves in nice front seats (seated on the grass patch). The concert didnt start till 7plus (second disappointment).


The first group to perform was "Da Mouth". I was very impressed with Ai-sha's performance - 'WONDER-FULL' Body and I am certain she made many men Drool and Bleed that night.

Second on the list was "SodaGreen". When I heard them (or rather just Wu Qing Feng) sing during their sound check, I was captivated by his voice. He has a very unique voice - very impressive! The setback encountered during their performance was a sudden power cut during a fast track (Third disappointment). I read from Cruz's blog that the management even stopped the Emcees from going on stage to pacify the audience...


Oh, talking about the emcees, despite the many disappointments (which i have yet to finish ranting), the consolation to the concert was having Cruz and JiaHui host the event. Nice!

Along came A-mei which was the greatest disappointment of all. Her microphone wasnt working well when she sang her first song (Fourth disappointment). Subsequently, the songs chosen for the concert were too new. It makes the performance more like an album promotion instead of F1 ROCKS (Fifth disappointment). I was actually eager to hear her because I have not heard her live but I must say the performance was a let down.


The sixth disappointment is the most unforgivable one; We waited for a long long time before Jacky finally came on stage. In fact, we had to wait for some time after each performance. This last one made us wait aimlessly for almost 40mins before they eventually set up the band and lightings for Jacky. During this long interim, the management did not bother to send the hosts out to entertain the crowd (Seventh disappointment). We stood there like FOOLs, feeling warm and frustrated yet we had to be patient as it was our idol who will be appearing NEXT. From Cruz's blog, Jacky was unhappy with the delay too!

Fortunately, Jacky delivered a stunting performance with his sexy moves and of course his voice. I Like! I Love!



My last notes: I hope the management of the concert can do a thorough review so that F1 Rocks 2010 will have Less/No (if possible) hiccups. Im sure they would have received lots of feedback forms about the disappointments (the tickets didnt come cheap and it is only fair that the audience deserve a satisfactory reply).

Casting the unhappy issues aside, enjoy the video below:

Days of Unemployment

Days of unemployment, this is the 27th day...

I have been spending my time at home cooking, watching HongKong Dramas, job hunting and also thinking of what i want in my life.

However, no matter how hard I think, I feel that I cant achieve the 'ideal' kind of life that I always yearned for. I dont know if it's too perfect for achievement or am I just too lazy. Or am I afraid to face the reality because there needs to be major changes in my current life? I have no answers to these terrifying thoughts.

Every night when I go to bed, I imagine that I would not wake up the next morning. I think I would suffer from some heart attack or some disease and just 'Go' like that. I fear, because there are so many things in life that i have not experienced. I feel like talking to people but everytime I meet people, I dont feel like talking.

I am now watching a drama on psychology and I wonder if I am actually suffering from some mental illness that I am not aware of.

Actually, there are lots of things that I can do during this period of time but I dont know where to start, too lazy to start and feeling hopeless to start. I hide myself at home apart from going for interviews, spend my day like an aimless person dying for my phone to ring (f0r a job opportunity).

I seem to have lost myself. I feel I am not who I used to be. Over the years, I am losing my confidence and all I gain is unwanted Fats in my body!

I need a new life, I need a new begining, I need to step out of this horrible situation that Im in now (all thanks to J!)
