// some form of respite //

It's finally recess week.

Ok, so I've rather slack the week before, cuz my lab meeting presentation was finally over on 4 Mar!

Then my cousin and cousin-in-law came over to stay at my house as they wanted to tour Sg over the weekend.

Anyway, becuz of the concert I was due to go, I didn't really bring them around.

In spite of this, they had no problem finding their way in Sg with the directions I gave them.

Anyway, my cousin-in-law even bought a coach handbag from ion and my parents were passing some remarks about being materialistic.

To the working class, it seems like owning something branded is a must, no?

But to the older generation it just seems like frittering away hard-earned money.

Anyway, I dun tink we are in a position to comment.

After all, one spends his/her money on whatever he/she deems fit, which others might not agree on..but it's none of their business anyway.

Back to the concert, even though I was the one who wanted to go for JJ's concert, I think my sis is more excited than me. She listened to his songs non-stop a few days before the concert haha.

My mum thought I would have insomnia after the concert.

Fat hope, I was extremely exhausted from tutoring and also preparing for my presentation a few days earlier.

Waiting in anticipation!

The show!

It was a 3hr show and according to some sources he sang 35 songs.

Well, i think it was quite a mad rush, yet he didn't sing some of the songs I hoped he would.

Most of the songs were upbeat numbers where he had to dance and sing simultaneously like a energy bunny.

Though his vocals were somewhat compromised due to the multi-tasking, it was still very good, without missing a note or beat.

The only thing was that the fast and loud music kind of overpowered his voice.

And he got super duper high when Jam Hsiao appeared and they sang Michael Jackson's Black or White.

Of course neither could be compared to the great MJ but it showed the rocker side of him.

The ballads, on the other hand, were flawless and touching.

In my opinion, his piano performance was rather short but it was a highlight as he sang 'Home' and the screen flickered to Kit Chan, who stood up and applauded him.

Cool and sleek during dance numbers, warm and relaxed on the piano, funny and hyper with Jam Hsiao, emotional and touching during ballads.

Different faces of JJ, bright lights, fireworks, coupled with outrageous costumes typical that of Chinese musicians and heartfelt words of thanks towards his family, mentors, colleagues and fans.

It was definitely worth watching.

P.S It was quite surprising to see, with the exception of a few rows, most of the people sitting near us were actually some older people who looks to be in their mid to late 30s.

Also, Ang Junyang and Candyce were just a row away from us.
