just came back from corrinne may concert at UCC!
its the first time i actually spent such a large proportion if my allowance on a concert..
that means it really meant something to me.=)

concert was great! with the very exciting company of the usual crazy fangxuan!!


yup look at her yang guang smile.=)
our seats were at the balcony on the 3rd floor,
and it felt like we were intruders,
watching the concert illegally,
but actually i liked the seats alot!
they looked like those seats on the train...




so we started our adventure,
bahaving totally uncivilised and childish,
among all the rather aged audience..
haha that means we know how to appreciate k..




i told you the seats look like those on the train,
where u can be as confortable and relaxed as you wanna be..
see, totally comfortable n relaxed, plus a little bit unglam.

its a long long journey!



then it was that woman's turn,
trying to be totally relaxed and pretended to fall from 3rd floor..
and guess what..
she play play play and her ticket committed suicide!!
it flew from the third floor,
to the second,
to the first.
it hit someone's head,
and she looked up,
arh? kind of expression.
we hid.

i think such things only happen when you are with fang fang...



trying to spot some empty seats on the first floor so we could sneak in and help them fill their seats after interval,
but of course thats rather immoral,
people watching corrinne may should be civilised.
so we obediently stayed at our seats=)




yup thats her!
she sang well,
played the piano,
without scores,
looked at the audience,
and smiled.=)

she sang many new songs from her album that stirred my heart,
expressing many heart cries of mine,
using simple lyrics
and soothing music and voice.

[shelter]
"just call my name,
let me be an answer,
cause it hurts me to see you this way.
i wanna ease your pain,
help me understand,
let me be your shelter, my friend."

i want so badly to be a good friend,
one whom people would think of when they need a listener.
but sometimes even i myself get disappointed at myself,
for how i handle friendships in my life.
well, we learn on the way.
but let me be your shelter, my friend=)

[on the side of me]
"im not the easiest person to love
...im not too proud of some things
...yet you chose to be on the side of me...
..i remembered when nobody cared,but you."

it reminded me of how my family stood by my side,
during my rebellious years,
those pasts that i disappointed them time and again.
growing up wasnt easy for me,
much worse for them.

[on my way]
"but i'm on my way
there seems to be no end in sight,
but i know i'll be alright,
dont give up on me,
i'm on my way."

many things i still dont get right,
many things i still have to learn,
and i'm glad im given the chance to grow,
bit by bit.
i do fail many many times,
but He hasnt given up on me,
i know you didnt too.
dont give up on me, cause i'm on my way.

[33]
"33, the age that you died for me,
now here i am at 33,
33,you crowned it with your life upon a tree,
the mystery of your love for me."

it is such a meaningful song!
Jesus died when He was 33,
and now shes 33 too...
its interesting how she thought about this life stage of hers this way,
so 33 shall be a special age for everyone,
cause that the age Jesus died..
and again, the forgetful me was reminded of that illogical love lavished upon me.

[my little nephew]
"see you learn to tie your shoes,
say the sky is blue
and that your best friend is Winnie The Pooh"

muahaha!! this was just a song about her newphew,
whom i dont really know,
but the song's special cause it has my name!

i guess the reason why i like her songs,
and spend money to go for her concert,
and buy her cd is because she's a voice to my heart cries,
from her own walk with God and her own life journey,
those are very real feelings that all of us have.=)

finally! queuing for her autograph, fangxuan was very sweet! she bought us her secondary school all time favourite soya bean.=)
but in the end we left before we got her autograph,
cause she was being too nice, talked to the fans one by one,
took photos one by one,
and it was getting too late.
and actually autograph dont really mean much to me..
like as if i get money when i get her signature.
but its a pity i didnt get to tell her im winnie, her nephew's best friend.=)

we were talking in the queue,
and were saying that we show different sides of us infront of different people.
sometimes it seemed unnatural,
or perhaps fake,
but i guess its the different people in our life that bring out the different side of us.
God placed each of them in our lives for unique purposes,
to help us find ourselves.

so, which side of people do i bring out?=)

[scars make us stronger, for life]
