Mayday

when i was 17 or 18.. i worked part-time in a CD shop. it was the time when mayday released their first album and my colleague was playing the CD after we received it in the shop. the same year, i had a chance to watch them live at indoor stadium.

lo and behold! that was the beginning of the i-love-mayday spiral.

1st rows during autograph sessions, mini concerts.. most expensive tickets to every concert.. recording every tv appearances, even if it was just for 30 seconds.. going to the airport and hotel.. going to their supper places... anything you name, the fan-girl did. :)

their record company staff even regarded us as "第一排霸主"!
(but we are too old now to protect our fort, so 霸主 no more :( )

it is the spirit of the songs, encouraging us to carry on dreaming and loving, the wonderful lyrics and melodies, the extensive musical arrangements, the enormous talent, the hardwork they put into each & every song and performance and the very real personalities that i love so much about them.

throughout these years, i have always wanted to attend their concerts overseas (yes, singapore no-enough!). money and timing were always not on my side. however, this time, i had a short break from work which coincided with their hong kong concert. so there's no holding me back this time.

i went, conquered and loved every single minute of it. :)

and here's to more mayday-ified 10 years for me, the proud mayday fan-girl :)

after talking to woman 5.0 today, i got tempted to change the blog skin too hehe.

death by internet?

was talking to a friend just now on the msn; ranting to her about the wedding preparation.

how much reviews and homework we have to read/do online whenever we are trying to make new decisions such as deciding on the hotel, bridal studio, photographer, videographer, bed, lighting, wardrobe, this and that, etc etc..

yes, these reviews help.
very much, in fact.

but these information can get so overwhelming that it frightens people.

in the past, there were no internet around to help.
people rely on word-of-mouth, advertisement, or just by pretty shop decor.
like my sister for example.. during her time of wedding prep, there were no internet information available, but i can still remember her wedding being so perfect.

nowadays.. we even rely on reviews for food. whenever we decide to try some new restaurant, internet is the 1st place we check for bad comments. even so, after all the splendid comments that we read, the restaurant might still not end up to our liking.

so are we wasting too much time on the internet trying to get reviews for everything we do?

well, i'm not taking chances. though i'm absolutely tired of information overload.

now excuse me, while i go read up on which brand of mattresses are the "best"..

blue..

haven't been feeling really happy recently..
not that things are bad..

just blue.
