I arrived Hongkong at midnight cause the train delayed for an hour (my aunt said it has never happened before).Everyone in the house already slept except my uncle,staying super late to wait for me.So sorry ya...
Then I got this urgent call that made me think and think for about an hour.But it's not that I blame you for that.I'm really glad you called,man. =)
20th
I opened my eyes at 9.40,then called my aunt lo.A while later my cousin Tian Yang cc called her mom and whining about how pitiful she was for about 10minutes.I wonder why.haha.So she passed the phone to me and my aunt told me that she should be in Italy right now.HA?????
My uncle didn't allow her to go and cancelled the ticket (8000HK$ /______\) cause he was afraid that her company will have some problem since there was a lot of US companies have gone bankrupt over last week.My cc worked in a US finance company.
If I were her,I would be whining for a week or so.haha.Italy gitu loh~~~~~haha
So,instead of Rome,she and her dad and I went to the Ocean Park.We arrived there about 11,and we went straight to the Skyfair and queue for the aerophile.We queue for bout an hour before we could get on it.It was ok la,although there were lots of sudden bumps caused by the wind.haha
Then we went to see the panda.We were unlucky cause all the 4 pandas were sleeping.Aiyo..
So we ride the cable car to go to the other mountain.After that we had this very expensive lunch.70HK$ for a spaghetti! =.="
Rested for a while,and we headed to see the jellyfish,sturgeon,and the aquarium.It's in 3 different complex.The jellyfish were awesome!They just glow and had this elegant moves (or so I thought.haha)
We wanted to ride the roller coaster,but we gave up after we saw the extra long queue.Not far,was the Turbo Drop with such a short queue.Usually I'm very fond of this kind of scary rides.But,I suddenly became scared and I didn't went for it.haha.So,we just ride the Eagle，which rotated and gettin up higher and higher until finally came down.
We continued by going to the Ocean Theatre and watched the dolphin and sealion show.For the last stop,we went to see the panda again,this time,they were all woken up.hoho.Getting all tired and thirsty,we headed home.
After dinner,I ain't tired no more and went shopping for a while.Bought some shirts for me and my bro,a closed type earphone (been wanting this for so long),and some earrings.
21th
Went out for shopping at about 10.
I found this amazing stationary store in Mongkok.They sell everything!Stuff for painting (pencils,colours pencils,crayons,watercolors,paint,canvases,etc.),hundreds kinds of papers,origamis (japan original),ribbons,cards,pens,pencils,books,and so much more.haha.
I had lunch in a Japanese restaurant,I ordered the pork cartilage (tulang lunak) ramen.I ordered the same for my two previous visits.hoho.Yummy!
Went back home after lunch,rested and had a bath.I set out for the Asia Expo at 16.45.It's very early since the show will start at 8p.m.I never thought that it would only took me 45minutes to get there,cause the venue was further than the airport!
I went to the souvenir booth..Bought the Ayu Complete All singles (3cds+1dvd) for only 140HK$ and i got a poster.It was just 6p.m.Considering I got nothing to do,so I queued for the free tattoo drawing.Ca e lah,I waited for one and a half hour and got the person who's not skillful to draw mine!WUiyoohhh...After that,I went to the concierge to put my bag along with the camera and other useless things.
I entered the arena at 19.55 and found my seat which was in the corner of my block.It's at the right side of the arena.Clocks ticking past 20.00 and no sign of Ayu.Some people managed to bring in camera altough the security have checked every single bag in the entrance.But,as soon as they started to take photos,the security would ran towards them and forced them to take the camera outside.Phone camera was not allowed either.
Bored after the long wait and no one to talk to.haha.The lights suddenly turned off at 20.45 and the audience started screaming and stand up.3 guys in front of me was so tall that I could only see half of the stage!So I stepped to the stairs and got a better view.
reBiRTH and The Judgement Day
combined with video of Ayu's ship.
At the end of the video,Ayu suddenly appeared in the middle of the stage and the audience went frantic!
talkin' 2 myself
As soon as she started singing I got all emotional and cried for the whole song.haha.
What's on my mind that time was,'She's real and she's there!'.
In the middle there was a fire explosion and it was an extremely good to lighten people up,you know.haha.The music was so loud and I thought I'm goin deaf for a second.
A Song for XX
She didn't change the costume
Depend on You
At first I thought she would sing Step You cause she counted 1,2,3,4 in the video.She was in this pink and white high school uniform which was really cute and girly!There were big pink and white dices too.
But,she sang it in this high-pitch-acting-cute kind of voice which I didn't like very much.
Fly High
(don't) Leave me alone
The video showed that Ayu was chased by masked women and she had a trauma by showing her wrists that were full of scar from being tied earlier.She was caught at last and they tried to tied her to a big cirlce flat stone.What I can say is the video surely draws people attention and Ayu's acting was so real.
She came up on stage,tied to the stone!At the pause,the stone started turning for a few times.Later Ayu was released by two of the dancers.
decision
my name's WOMEN
Ayu changed the costume a bit by losing the pants (if I wasn't wrong) and changed it with 6/8 stick of red feathers.She also carries a red short featherlike lasso and whipping it continuously.The audience started to scream louder as Ayu and some dancers walked towards the round center stage.The stage rose a bit and I was a bit afraid she wasn't in balance.haha
Marionette -prelude- and Marionette
The video was much the same as the mv.Ayu and the dancers rise from center stage in the same formation as in the mv.The song started and the exact carousel in the mv also rises.I was fascinated!I was hoping they are wearing the ghost-like-but-cool contact lens,but they weren't.I think it was really enchanting and it was my favorite that nite.
Hanabi
In my version,in the video Ayu was a goddess standing at the stair to heaven while waiting for prince charming which later came but fell down to the earth (the stage) before he could reach Ayu.wahaha.
The dress Ayu actually wore was a lot more bling-bling than the one in the video.
End Roll
Ayu still wore the bling dress and she sang beautifully~
The gap when Ayu was changing costume was filled up by the dancer with 2 pieces of very long white cloth and making acrobatic moves only by hanging into it.That was the first time I sat since the start of the show.I only sat for a few minutes~
surreal-evolution-surreal
Both of these songs are songs that I liked so much cause they create enthusiasm~
Mirrorcle World
The video shows the ship and there was this huge 'A' flag comin down from top of the stage and suddenly it fell and there it was,the ship!It wasn't very big though.haha.Ayu was standing at the top and the beat started,the whole performance was tremendously cool!Ayu got off the ship for a while before got up again.
She wore this captain gold shining outfit in that song.
There was about 5minutes of blank where the audience screamed here and there,plus stamping on the ground most of the times.
ENCORE
Then the 'A' appeared in the monitor and started dancing and we all clapped lo..
Ayu came out from the left side of the stage.She greet us with English and said she was going to sing two of her favorite songs.
Dearest
I cried once again.haha.I'm completely dashed.
Voyage
Ayu then chat with Yochan and I don't understand a word until the words '我要你清唱' (main point) [I want you to sing acapella] appeared in the screen.Ayu then asked us,'Do you guys want me to?',duh,'No need to ask la',I thought.haha.So Ayu discussed a while with Yoko and Peco and she started to sing (duh..dun remember the song liao) for a line and burst out laughing cause the rhythm wasn't rite and started again.Wuiyoh her voice wassssss GREAT!
Zin tought us para2
Zin tought us by using Mandarin lo..Although the tone wasn't rite but it was totally understandable n funny,he also kept joking with Ayu.haha.Zin asked us,'你们爱滨崎步吗？'[Do you love Ayumi?],of course the whole audience replied,'爱！！！！！！',so Ayu asked him what did he ask,he tought Ayu how to say it and Ayu asked us that same question without knowing what it meant and got the same reply.Then Zin told her what the question meant in Japanese with a cutie cutie sound and Ayu just,'Ooooo..' and smiled to us.So adorable~~Ayu also had this piece of paper that got all the japanese-mandarin translation in it.
Boys n Girls
Nice nice niceeeeee
MY ALL
Last song~~~yuh so sad lee...
I guess everyone was dancing what Zin had tought us earlier before except the couple who sat beside me.They didn't do a single dance~haiz.What a shame lar..
Then the ribbon popped out!My place was too far so I couldn't get any.
After the song Ayu introduced all the dancers and band as usual and thanking everyone.
Finally there's only Ayu on the stage running here and there waving goodbye,then she asked us to be all quiet.There's some screaming 'Ayu,ayu!!!' and some other in Japanese and many others,'Shh!Shhhhh!!!!!',haha.It's an absolute silence eventually and Ayu yelled,'Arigatou gozaimasu' and the audience cheered as loud as they could for the last time and Ayu dissapeared.haha
When I queued to get my bag I saw this girl with lots of the ribbons which turned out to have Ayu's writing printed in the back!So I quickly asked her,'Can I have one?' and she gave it to me.Thanks,lady!
Leo kept calling during the concert to hear Ayu live.haha.I would undoubtedly do so if I were him!I mean,this opportunity doesn't always come lo~~~haha
My first concert was simply UNFORGETTABLE!
more photos are viewable here
ps.I couldn't focus in the class the next day,AT ALL.haha
-~Live ur Life!! ^^
