Recently, I went to Joey Yung's StarLight concert 2009 at Singapore Expo, Max Pavilion with Dao Yi and Wan Yi. It was great even though there was a 小插曲 before the start of the concert. I will go into details. As everybody knows, Max Pavilion only has one main entrance unlike Singapore Indoor Stadium which has many entrances. The organizer of the concert did not really did a good job on controlling the queue outside the concert hall. Initially when we reached, there was a queue, however after some hooha, everybody from the back rushed forward and everybody became one lump at the entrance.
Then all of a sudden, there was this lady in her mid 50s shouting at the top of her voice at the auxiliary police standing nearest to us.
Crazy lady: "Why you all never organize properly!!! Why let people jump queue!!! We waited here for so long!!! Blah blah blah..."
Every time the auxiliary police tried to open his mouth and explain, this crazy lady would raise her voice, it is quite obvious that she didn't want to listen to any explanation. However this crazy lady continued to shout until it became a nuisance to the crowd around her. Someone at the back said "泼妇骂街, what can she do by shouting non-stop". The three of us also start to feel irritated, Dao Yi and I was laughing at her disgraceful behaviour, Dao Yi was saying something like, "Go home lar, so noisy", I told him to shut up before I start to rattle off too, AHAHA... I was saying something like, "Shut up lar, so noisy, don't know for what". But our conversation was not meant to be heard by the tigress roaring at the police. We did not realise her daughter was standing just beside us. 俗语说“有其母，必有其女”, her daughter in her mid 30s suddenly shout at me, "Shut up lar! Little boy! What do you all know!?" Hello! I am not a little boy, unlike her mum and her in their mid 50s and 30s respectively still shouting like those in Woodbridge in the public. Suddenly the fire in my heart burnt like people poured kerosene, I shouted back at her.
Me: "Hey! Whats the problem with you!"
Daughter: "Whats the problem with you too!, you all jump queue!!!"
Me: "We where got jump queue, we are just following the crowd, everyone is doing the same thing!" (We REALLY never jump queue lor)
Mum at the background: " You shut up!!!, you shut up!!!..." Don't know for how many times.
Daughter: "Why you talk so much!!!"
Me: "Why!? Cannot talk now is it!? Har!? Cannot talk is it!?"
Her mum suddenly scream, I also don't know what she said: "!@#$%^&*()"
The whole crowd at this very moment "OOOOOORRRRRRHHHHHH!!!!!!" at the woodbridge personnel. This couple infront and few girls at the back said something like “Auntie，浆老了，还喊喊喊！” The guy infront said "Aiyo, shame shame shame ar~~~!!!"
At this point the crazy hag could not hold herself anymore SCREAMED: "ALL OF YOU SHUT UP!!! SHUT UPPPPPP!!!!!!".
All this while after my last sentence I was laughing nonstop with the whole crowd and eventually got into the hall with the crazy hag still screaming at the back. Maybe practicing the screaming session when the concert starts. This two english educated ladies don't know why come here to listen to a pop singer who sings Cantonese and Chinese pop songs. GO HOME LAR!
But come to think of it, this is one of the most dramatic moments of my life and first time in my life, I scold a crazy hag infront of so many people...
Let you see the crowd at the entrance.
After we entered the hall, I realized that we are only 7 rows from the stage!!! I go Sammi's concert also not so near lor. Haha... Wan Yi bought Joey's Hong Kong StarLight concert 2008 DVD right after we entered, haha...
The stage, much much downscaled compared to Hong Kong's.
Woho! Going to start soon!!!
Wah, so many people!
AHHH~~~ Come out already!!! Singing her first song “唇楼”. This 造型 is quite special, she has CDs on her hair!
Joey giving her opening speech!
握手时间!!!
This is the best shot, I have taken so far.
Joey singing "Loving U".
This portion she sang a lot of Singapore female singers' Chinese hits like Stefanie Sun's “我不难过” and Tanya Chua's "Love's Beautiful".
This part was sexy.
Joey singing "跑步机上”.
Every time I go to any concerts in Singapore, I felt like I am in a midst of people watching opera like what Dao Yi said. People here don't get high easily. Come on! You are here to watch a pop singer! Your idol? So please be more high lar!!! Throughout the whole concert, Dao Yi, Wan Yi and I are like three crazy people from woodbridge shouting, screaming and cheering for Joey at the part of the hall we were seating. I felt paiseh at moments you know, but I didn't really care. Haha... But our efforts were not paid off, at the power medley portion, when we were very high and only a few around us stood up, Joey came to the part of the stage closest to us, there she saw three crazy concert goers waving at her and you know what? SHE WAVED BACK!!! AHAHA... See? If everybody stood up and got high, she won't notice us. Haha... Come on lar, Singaporeans, next time be more spontanous can not? Throw face leh, the fans from other countries see liao hor... Haiya...
POWER MEDLEY!!!
POWER MEDLEY!!!
Joey singing “挥着翅膀的女孩”, her super famous song.
Concert's "official" last song, "全身暑假”.
It was only when she came out for encore that everyone started to become very high and started standing on their seats. 这才像演唱会嘛！！！
Everyone stood on their seats. Super high!!!
Haha... Had a high night, lets take a photo with "Joey"! Anyway, I bought the concert poster. Haha...
Conclusion
Joey Yung is probably one of the last divas in Hong Kong, I think she is the only candidate that can take over Sammi Cheng like Sammi Cheng could take over Anita Mui as diva. Her stage presence, charisma and body language is just awesome! Oh! And she dance really really well, because from what I remembered, she could not dance when she just entered the showbiz, through hardwork, she has groomed herself to be a promising dancing diva. I think the concert is worth the money, really enjoyed myself, all the way JOEY!!!
