杂章X2。

以前,可以偶尔向友人炫耀,自己不花一毛钱过一天。

骑电单车上班,不必花停泊费,也可以几天方才添加几块车油钱。工作的地方提供膳食,两餐都在那里解决,有时还可以另加一顿茶点。

那时真的好像比较容易过生活。工钱没有很多,可日子过得好好的。

最近,不知怎的,总觉得分分钟都在花钱。

电单车一样骑着,却开始出毛病了,一些东西换了,有些还隐隐赖着。住的地方也搬得离工作地点更远了,三两天便得添油,还是起了价的那种。也因为某种原因,每天得花个RM1.50的停泊费,让自己心安。也不知是不是自己嘴馋,也较常在外头花钱吃饭。

《钱不够用2》我还没看,自己却已严重地感同身受。想要不付费过活,比puasa一天还难...

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

几个月前,他架着墨镜,在我工作的地方步过,我实在地被吓着了。淡绿色的衣裳,显得很有朝气。然后我去了看他的签唱会,发现他的演唱功力,还有炒热气氛的技巧,真不是盖的。

过后,听说他在另一家coffeebean出现,有人想和他要签名,却被店经理阻止,说:不行不行,要有很pro的样子,不可以随便打扰客人。

呵呵,要是我被阻止向自己喜欢的人要签名合照,肯定脚跺个不停,然后赌气罢工。

几天前,他在我店内坐了好久,起身要走了方才被我认出来。然后我对友人说:他是第一个让我觉得很邋遢的明星。毕竟,你很难想象一个满脸胡楂,无袖上衣短裤休闲鞋没有包装的艺人是什么样的。

就是一个阿Beng,如果他的气质如是。

然后前天晚上,我放工回家,又遇见了他。我下escalator,他在我对面上。同样的红色无袖上衣。

有的人,歌唱得再好,戏演得再棒,张得多帅多漂亮,却仅止于此。在他们身上,看不见自己向往的素质,所以见着了不会兴奋感动,错过了也不至于遗憾。

他的《背叛》很棒,他是曹格。

我已然是太阳能,X2。

那是一场和我想象有很大出入的音乐会。没有嫩稚的互动,不会有冷场。有的,是一场音乐饷宴,还有便是心得分享。

正合我意。

SOLER唱LIVE,真的能撼动人心。不知该怎么说,反正就是会让人投入于他们的演唱,专注的随着他们的音乐飘。

一些歌手,像Eason,唱LIVE很棒, 可他的CD,却每每少了点power。而SOLER,他们是一流的。

对不起,别说我偏心。

Julio说:他不喜欢称喜欢他们的人为歌迷。迷迷声,好像被迷了一样。他选择称他们朋友,希望他的朋友知道自己在做些什么的。





















常有人说:歌手明星也只是普通人一个,我干嘛去追? 也有人说:他们有什么大不了,只是会唱歌而已。

我很喜欢这一类型的交流,听听SOLER的经历,感受他们的心路历程,会让人对他们有更深一层的了解,然后产生共鸣。从中学习感受,也没什么不好。

人生,不是都需要inspiration的吗? SOLER给的,和其他人给的,是没有不同。所以,我选择自己喜欢的,不过是活出自己。



看他们兄弟俩的互动,可见感情是很好的。工作上,私事皆是。一个是Enegizer(Duracell?)bunny,另一位是易燃的火柴,可以相处融洽,是很难得的。

Dino四年前,写了一首歌给哥哥Julio,用爱将他焕回来,拉近一家人的距离。

Julio说:写给妈妈的歌,那时Dino不在,妈妈听着听着,嘴角泛着浅浅的笑容,Julio已知道答案。然后她说了一句I like it,像是对儿子的肯定。

写给Beyond家朐的歌,纪念他的精神,感谢他的启发。

我们要的,不正是这些吗?





















所以,歌一首接一首,我像灵魂出窍,听得入神。我最喜欢的Fiona's Cafe他们没唱,却将我领入了Saving Grace。

Julio说:这首歌是几年前,他迷失方向时,忽然梦到回到澳门家里,打开家门,爸爸坐在那里。SOLER爸爸在他们很小时便已离世,所以,这梦是有点意外的。

他爸爸年纪很大,行动也不甚方便。可在梦里,他站直起身子,步向Julio,将手放在他肩上,给了他一番激励。于是,有了这首歌,也许,于是有了SOLER。

"Son you'll see ocean mountains high and low, you'll have snowflakes slowly melting on your nose..."

我坐在那里,手握着相机录影,目不转睛的,不敢相信自己深深被感动,不能明白为何SOLER那一刻的唱腔那么清晰。

Saving Grace。珍惜恩赐。

我已然是太阳能。

友人摇了电话过来,说读了我的blog,觉得九九还有一百酱写很不错一下。他说:我竟然没爽死。我笑答:因为还有,一零一。

当然,又是SOLER。我是真的上瘾了。

那天在金河的签名会,我满怀期待SOLER的出现。忽然,旁边来了一位有点熟悉的脸孔,她是娱乐记者之类的,我以前见过。

她问:我是不是SOLER的fans? 我坚决答:是。然后,得到了另一份超乎想象的07年末大礼。



十二月三十一,可以出席SOLER的音乐会,我是受宠若惊的。一边担心自己的年纪不适合那种场面,一边却为难得而到处邀人陪伴。手电里头较好感情的,差不多都被我问过了。不是有工作,便是这样那样。最后,我一个人赴会,哪怕场面会让我尴尬死。

也许得到幸运之神的眷顾,我是好事一桩接一桩。

到达988办公楼,我还在为确定自己的地点忧虑,便看见Julio和Dino走了进来。吓着了,真的。可我那时的第一念头是:地点对了。

我没有冲上前打招呼要签名什么的。不是不想,而是不习惯。所以,我什么都没做,转身步入电梯里。

那位记者告诉我先上十五楼,他们会到十九楼brief一下。噢!OK。然后心里开始忐忑,SOLER不可能和我共用一架电梯吧。

她还是扭着按键,让他们一伙人进来。

Dion就站在我旁边,而我还是什么都不做不说。静静地希望十五楼早点到。

究竟,当他们看着我步出电梯,知道我是他们的fans却什么都不做时,会作何想法? 庆幸没遇着一位hardcore fans,还是会因为我的冷漠而觉得扫兴?

房间小小的,包括我十一个人,九女二男。988DJ Nicholas说:两个男的该是陪女朋友来的咯? 一个是,我不。

我是年纪身材最大的,Nicholas小我几个月,一位女的二十五,其他都一律少艾逼人。庆幸,我没有因为年纪而不被邀入,还是名单第一位叻。

SOLER还没进来,Nicholas和我们讨论该问的五个问题,女的要我问一题,说男生问男生,会和女生不一样。那时,我把机会让回给了她们,选择听就好。

可音乐会结束后,有个问题,很想问。

如果时间回流,我会问SOLER: 现今的market,开始有歌手像Penny Karen都选择不发专辑了,而Julio Dino算是刚起步,有什么看法?

这个问题,还不错吧?





















最后,来张大合照,九位女生抢位是正常的。我,还是低调点的好。

Julio抬头望了望我,说:你最高,无法啦。Dino也有一样的想法,于是,我站到他们后头,将手搁在他们的肩膀上,为很难得很难得的一刻,留了个印证。

我原本带了Starbucks2008 Diary,还有x2专辑,希望在要些签名什么的。最后,选择把Diary给了SOLER,给了Julio。

Julio,this is for you。我步过去,说。他接过,看看,wow了一声,而后用English问我,里面是否有那些小孩的描画之类的?

那时,我很紧张,以为他问说里头是否满满的剪报之类的,忙说没有。This is a brand new 1, I hope it's useful。

他看看,对我说,香港星巴克邀了很多小孩画描,然后贴得满街都是,很漂亮。我才明白,自己有点会错意了,希望他不介意。

也希望,他会喜欢。

Tuesday, January 1, 2008

第九十九。我留给他们。

终于,那一天还是来了。

打从第一天我接触SOLER的X2专辑起,便一直很期待他们的到来。他们的歌,有很强的感染力,让人听了又听。也许,我是真的情人眼里出西施吧。

那天,工作忙了一早,下午满怀欣喜地赶往他们的签名会。

签名会。报道是那样写的。所以,不希望他们唱个一两首歌是不可能的。

场面没有很热,小猫三两只,那是必然的。却意外地让我可以站得很前,就在舞台边,该是我有史以来最近的追星纪录了。

换作其他的歌手明星,对不起,我不会有那么强烈的兴奋感。

是否,因为他们正在起步,所以我有了这个bonus?





















可以很近,可以很清楚地专注于舞台上的演出。

他们说: 原本只打算唱一首歌,最后唱了三首。

他们签名可以签很多,没有设限,所以早前的两张SOLER专辑也有了他们的笔痕。

可以和他们合照,不像一些红头半边天的,要握个手都难,要看自己的机灵。


当然我会希望他们可以慢慢红起来,有越来越多的粉丝,有更多更好的成绩。可是,到时却变成:

我得很早到场霸位。

得和很多人挤,听个一两首歌。

签名只签新的,只签一张。

那是分别,我也明白。

过后,我一直回想,觉得自己是幸运的。幸运自己,知道自己喜欢什么。然后,追求。

SOLER,我会一直支持,替他们感到骄傲。

顺道:我竟然没爽死...

Friday, December 28, 2007

终于。这次是她们。

之前,她们的最新专辑一推出,我写了这篇部落, 预告朋友快要到手的<爱.歌姬>。

不知自己是否星追多了,多少了解一点他们的trend。当红的歌手发片,免不了来宣传一番。谷谷人气,增加几张CD销量。

来开演唱会的,会先半场签名会宣传。加推几张票,让场面热热闹闹。

当然,并非全中的。不然我不会因为Soler要来签名,而兴奋不已,笑得比一个癫子还疯。然后, F.I.R等了好久,终于还是来了。

大型签唱会,只不过,这次得上云顶。

一次比一次远,一回比一回更考验自己疯的程度。

为了履行承诺,力气我有,时间金钱勉强够,怕只怕...要不到票!! 摇了几通电话,却还不确定换票的方法地点。

如果不行的话,最后草草回马六甲Mahkota Parade要签名算了。哈哈。

Hi Tim,

Sorry for the late reply, will u be in HK on 18th? I'll send u the details before Monday. Thank you for supporting Soler!

Lisa

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
一轮的email往来之后,我上网查询前往香港的便宜机票。找来找去,如果踏乘Airasia飞往澳门,都至少要RM1000以上。想来想去,还是作罢。太多的不确定,还有皮包真的没有钱。

Lisa那里的confirmation来得很晚,我还发了mail问她是否取消了。
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
dear lisa,

i haven't get the show details from you. is there any cancellation? thanks.

warm regards,
tim
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi Tim,
Sorry for the inconvenience. We've confirmed the details just now. Pls come to TOM LEE MUSIC PERFORMANCE CENTRE @ MegaBox (http://www.megabox.com.hk/) before 7PM tomorrow. I'll wait at the entrance of Tom Lee checking/passing out the tickets. You can find me there and get your tickets. my phone number is 6919xxxx. Call me if you can not find me. See u tomorrow!

Lisa

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
我在17th Dec晚才看见她寄来的email。理论上,算是门票拿到了,却还是决定不去。有点急。

虽然很想很想,我还不至于sampat到忽然飞去香港,看一场小小的live show。毕竟,我还等着Spice Girls的worldtour。

飞去香港看concert,听起来也比较合理吧? Soler嘛...等到31st Dec金河倒数演唱会再说。到时也许他们会顺道办场,让大家的白金派上用场的签名会叻? :)

莫文蔚就是莫文蔚 :)

前些日子,很想写些Karen的什么的。却一时被两兄弟的歌声惑着,跑去写SOLER。

我的确是有点偏心的。Karen的《日场夜场》不够动听,我便转写能带来最大感动的《Fiona's Cafe》。

还以为,她这一次的专辑,会带来失望。最美妙的歌声,自《爱i》后好像慢慢无处可寻了。前几张专辑,都没有让人惊艳,可有可无。

《隐隐》则不一样了。然后便是《台》。喜欢它们的曲风节奏,更爱它们的MV。

这是Karen第一次制作,填词编曲样样来。她有较多的做主空间,也让我们看见了不一样的莫文蔚。也发现自己会那么喜欢Karen,不是没有理由的。

很多人会说她的歌不够好听,人也不特别漂亮;可我就喜欢她的style,那也就够了。不是吗?

我至今还不清楚《LIVE IS...KAREN MOK》的封面,更不知道这张专辑究竟发了没。只知道,我会不停地播放她的这两首歌,SOLER...是时候让让了。

太阳兄弟!!

严格说起来,自己鲜少;近乎零地不听广东歌。不为什么,就是让我觉得闷,没什么特别可取之处。

这对来自澳门的缅甸籍兄弟,却是个意外的例外。

第一回接触他们的音乐,是通过知道我以貌取歌的朋友介绍。他是个怪胎,什么歌都听,懂很多。他告诉我说SOLER的歌不错。于是,买了他们的第一个专辑《双声道》。

里头的歌,有着浓厚典型港市摇滚的味道,Beyond的味道,以为自己会不喜欢,听了一次,两次后再来几次,啊!! 他们竟那么简单地俘虏了我的听觉,忽然我变得比怪胎还喜欢他们。

喜欢他们不拘的摇滚,加上几种语言的曲风,还有...帅气的脸孔也为他们加了很多很多分。我真的是看人听歌的...

所以过后Donnie Yen主演的《龙虎门》EP《生死阵》,我也很快买了。

之后,他们沉寂了好一阵子。和经纪人决裂,一段时间没有任何消息。

终于,他们回来了。带来了X2,全新全心诚意之作。很快的,我到唱片行去了。惊觉,这是一张双CD作品。一白一黑,一中一西。很class。

大早七点多到达工作的地方,将黑的那片放入CD player,后按下了Play键。当音乐散播开来的那一下,自己知道,我更喜欢他们了。

一些歌曲,会让人一遍一遍听了又听,就是那么地对味。X2,我想,一段时间里面,是不会放手的了。

知晓今年末的Sungei Wang倒数演唱会,会有他们的演出。不用多说,读到这里的人,都知道我又要干嘛了吧?!

如果他们办场签唱会的话,给我拿到签名...会爽死。:)

I Won't Be Dissapointed With This!!

The 1st leg of their huge comeback was over. Which was in Vancouver on 2nd Dec.

Till now haven't get any news of a SYNCED gig. What a relief...


From the dress rehearsal before the performance:

Latin Hearthrobe RICKY!



Never thought my 1st ever blog regarding my no.1 idol will be this 1.

Accidently...& I'm glad I did. Found his video on Youtube. "y todo queda en nada". Taken from his Spanish album released in year 2003. It's been 4 years but I never knew about this. Never knew there's a video to this song. Guess I'm not hardcore enough...

"Still Ricky Martin?" That's the response I get from a fren when he realised I bought his CD.

Ya. It's been almost 10 years since "The Cup Of Life". & I'm still into his music. Or anything that he does maybe.

My frens would've mindset him as the Bon-Bon Shaker. But does anyone of them really listen to his ballads? I don't think so.

We all changed. Don't we? But it's wonderful though to be passionate on something & somebody 4 10 years. See them improved, & make us LOVE them even more.

I just LOVE him.

Return Of My Favs! Not Spice Girls This Time.

Wow! It's an amazing coming year's end. Somethings ending & more creating another HUGE chapter.

Which is good. So good.

There's definitely lots of topics worth a space here. Of course. They're all of my undeniable favourites. & now I'm having difficulties to arrange the pieces. Which should be 1st & which deserves a follow-up.

It's hard. Really.

Let's start with this 1. Years ago when I still served myself in a certain musicafe over my hometown, & having wonders of how lives in KL would be like, she released her Greatest Hits album. Which made me so overwhelmed & the CD became my fav. Even till now.

Then she's been quiet. Disappeared from the limelight 4 a couple of years. Got breast cancer & she fought with so much courage.

Now she's back. With her 10Th album called 'X'.

"2 Hearts",is the 1st single from the album. Which I found not much surprising & was a bit disappointed. Then I realized her other songs leaked onto the net, & checked them out without any 2ND thought. & I was impressed.

She's just brilliant. & the songs are so KYLIE. If Spice Girls are my number 1 4 this coming Christmas, then she's definitely square off.



When the world out there is cold, & we've got lost with no directions. A return of those once touched our hearts are always welcomed. No?!

Hope y'all reading this enjoy the songs.

Sunday, November 18, 2007

'nuff said.

Do I still have much to say?! I don't think so.

Though they LIP SYNCED their 1st ever on stage performance in almost 10 years, the Spice Girls did look marvellous.

To be honest, it's curious why would they lip synced their songs?! It's not 1, but 2.

Convinced myself by thinking they might wanna keep the BEST surprise on their coming 1st reunion concert in Vancouver. Which makes me feel better.

Then, why they performed on Victoria's Secret show?! Or any other show before the grand worldtour? A promo tactic, but lip synced? & it made me mind jammed again.














Anyway, it's just a show. Put aside the Yes or Not, they're coming. Better than ever. Like them or not, everyone's gonna get spiced soon.

舞娘后,特务来了。

原以为,被我看最多次,有最多签名的明星偶像,非飞儿乐团莫属。"意外"地,被蔡依林抢先了一步。

要说自己特别喜欢她,并没有。只觉得,他的歌不错,舞也跳得很好。也特别欣赏她很努力求变的精神,红得不是没有道理的。用心,别人总看不见,以为偶像会红只因为样貌好。

几年前,赴了她在云顶的签唱会,《爱情三十六计》的那一次。

去年? 她在Sungei Wang宣传《唯舞独尊2007》演唱会。最后一分钟买了演唱会票,再买了同名的专辑,排队上台两次给她签名。

那时,真的觉得她很美,不施浓妆的甜美。

演唱会我自己一个人看得很爽,座位蛮前且正中,最后还和大伙人冲到台前,以最近的距离感受现场气氛的热。

他真的很用心表演,不是三脚猫功夫混日子的。

现在,只为了再睹她的风采,我再度很白痴地,要了半晚的假,和友人去了Sunway。只为了,赴特务J的签名会。

老实说,这已不是我第一次这么无聊不认真工作。但一些时候,白痴一下何妨?

伙在一堆少男妙女当中,有点远地看不清Jolin。

"哎哟! 晚上不用睡了咯" "看到她就想起我的特务J啊啊啊啊..." 旁边的少男不停乱叫。我则一贯静静地,转注地看。偶尔向友人吐一句:很美噢!!

以为自己这一次,不会上台了。不打算买她的新专辑,也没有再看演唱会的想法,要存点钱留给"万一"的Spice Girls。

最后还是买了进口版的《特务J》,上台要签名。定力不够的下场。

很机警地握了她的小手道谢,该是第一回吧,有点兴奋。看的时候不觉得,上台下台会感觉心跳得很快很快。

回家的路上,听着周杰伦的《我很忙》,很喜欢《阳光宅男》这首歌。看着很美的夕阳,偶尔和朋友玩笑将手嗅一下,庆幸自己不变态,还有洗手的打算。

顺道:很喜欢专辑里的《日不落》,先前还以为是杨丞琳唱的。

SPICE starter!!

Noticed the song?!

Yes. It's leaked. Been waiting long 4 their new materials & here it is. 1 of the 2 new songs to be included in their Greatest Hits album. "Voodoo" is going next, which sounds mysterious, hoping it's gonna be some uplifting offer.

"Headlines". It's not a very HUGE comeback to be honest, but it's still a very good song. I've always love their songs, as a group & going solos, but the latter of course much more Girl Power in it.

With the almost-daily increasing number of their concert, now with a total of 40, the Shanghai & Hong Kong legs had been postponed. Perhaps in March 2008 or so. Which is good. Giving me wider period to prepare the budget. Hope they are not gonna cancelled them anyway.

&...ermm...of course the Video. The 5 "mamas" back together again. Hope it's gonna leaked as well soon.

Expecting their Tesco ad & a range of furniture under their past iconic individual in the Spice Girls.

Still. Mel B "Lady Spice?" & her partner Maksim in Dancing With The Stars. In week 4 they were the shocking bottom 2. & this week they scored highest in the nite & was their Best again. Pretty impressive. Imagine her rehearsing new songs, concerts, shooting video & practicing dance steps all together, I would've died exhausted at the 1st place.





The clock is ticking to their ultimate reunion. & I'm having pleasures waiting.

Thursday, October 11, 2007

Jive. Headlines & More On Spice!!

1st it was Cha Cha. Then followed with Quick Step. Melanie B continues to impressed the judges, & shocked me with her 3rd performance in "Dancing With The Star", Jive.

& I must say: It's her BEST by far. Still unbelievable she can actually dance!! Brilliant.



Geri exclusively reavealed the group's new song, titled "Headlines ( Friendship Never Ends )", is finished & the single hitting the stores on 19th Nov, a week after their Greatest Hits released. It's a classic, accordingly. & anyone enjoyed their old stuffs will love this, Melanie C told. & I do hope so.

The video. Premierred on 2nd Nov. Must get me stuck on Youtube at that time.

Their new song will be featured in their Greatest Hits CD. With a total of 15 songs on it. It's actually a little dissapointment there as they never includes their B-sides in the album. Though I'm still pretty much excited on the 3 new offerings in the album.

What else? Plenty. They've been Gigantic since their concert's tickets launched.

Spice Force One. A flying "palace" 4 their tours. With all the most luxurios facitilies included.

The bonus DVD on their coming album will features all their 12 music videos. From "Wannabe" to "Let Love Lead The Way".

Now they've got 16 sold out UK shows. & they officially sent mails to their US fans regarding the chances to meet them all in person. I'm gonna scream my heart's out if I'm 1 of those...too bad I'm not even stay in US.

Friday, October 5, 2007

Pheww...

Ok. So it seemed most of you already read about this somewhere. It's reported over most of the major papers, stating things like "Sold Out In 38 seconds". Surprised?! I do. Even though I knew there'll be a huge demands on their reunion world tour, but I never wonder it's up to a level nearly MASSIVE!

I read here somewhere regarding the 38 seconds record, claiming it might be a mistake as the guy couldn't get his transaction done & by the time he succeeded it took him at least 2 minutes. Was it a mistake? It doesn't mean alot anyway.

Since they lauched their concert tickets officially on Monday, the response made them multiplied their shows instantly & up to date they got a total of 30. 19 added as it's only 11 announced at the 1st place. Thus the shows in China & some major cities were re-scheduled. Includes the show in Hong Kong, the 1 with the most possibility 4 me to catch them alive.

So.

They've got 12 UK sold out shows up to date. & much more coming 4 sure.

Greatest Hits album out in Nov. With some new materials written by U2's Bono & even George Michael as reported.



SpiceWorld. Re-released in Nov as well. Hopefully will feature some special extras in it.

A runway on their Spice Stage. Which is brilliant. The audience gonna get a better view on their perfomance on stage.




As all the Spices are trying hard to trimmed down & get back in shape, hoping to bring out their best ever, their reunification doesn't a mistake most likely. Let's wait & see.
PS:
Here's Melanie B, formerly known as Scary Spice among the 5 & "Lady Spice" by some now...in her 2nd week of "Dancing With The Stars". Nice work, still. Though the 1st week was more impressive.

Saturday, September 29, 2007

Gorgeous!

Dancing With The Stars? What kind of show is it? Never watched any of it till now. On Youtube. Simply because former Scary Spice.

Ever imagined if she really can dance? That's a question. Though I a HUGE fan of the "girls" but their dancing were always flat. Nothing much than simply tip-tapping & bootie shaking to be honest.

But this is different. She did getting back in shape. & with her trademark personality to kill, she's here to impress.

Melanie B succeeded. & leaving me with higher imagination of their coming reunification world tour.

Sakit Hati No More!!

After the sakit hati incident occurred the day before, again I returned to my position as usual. Expecting nothing else but 1 fine simple day.

Went to get some US dollar as I'm heading to the 7 wonders no more Angkor Wat this coming weekend. RM1001 & get only USD286 in return. Expensive rates perhaps. But the owner Mr. Omar already given me the best rates affordable I assumed.

Then I get back in my outlet. A staff told me: “Tu...Bernard Chandran kat sana. Cakap semalam mau jumpa dia kan?”

Mana? Mana? I asked. Looked around & no sign of Dato at all. “Mana ade? You tipu ke?” thought he's bluffin.

“Ade...tu...Hujung sana. Tengok betul-betul.” With the very much convining tune while waving his heading to the sofa side.

What? I see only 1 very fit guy donning a tight white T. With a small Batman logo on top. & the hairstyle somehow 70's mat salleh. Not to forget a pair of shiny Adidas black knickers. Come' on. He must be kiddin' me. Then he insists. & bet on RM20 with me...

Then I took a chance & have a good look. Apa!! Memang betul. It's Dato' Bernard. Far more smart than I assumed he would be. My fren told me he's put on weight lately. Your head, chicky boy.

& I start goyang. Wanna asked 4 his autograph but somehow kanzhiong. Without any reason. Unable to act normal as I could with Mr.Yee before. Perhaps it's his standard & level that make me paise. That's what make difference: those we really like & those just 4 so-so fun.

He's in the shop 4 quite long. Surprisingly he speaks Cantonese. Though he's a Chindian but still weird in some ways.

His frens asking 4 ice water. A golden opportunity 4 me to be pretentious I think. Served them 3 glasses of ice chilled water & of course I make sure there's no lips stain on it. Sure kena tembak if Dato Bernard get those “sexy” gift.

At last braved myself. Took a CB card & approached near Dato. He's quite surprised & asked: “4 who 1?” “4 me.” I answered.

“Your name?”

“Tim” & he started with: Dear Tim. Then scratching on the card. He drew a sketch of a lady in a gown on it, dropped his autograph & finished with his name & date politely. Shook his hand & thank him. Think I've covered my nervousness quite well.

So sincere & gentle of him I must say. It's always nice meeting up with big names & they're not hesitate on leaving down a line. Felt welcomed. It's an essence being big probably. No ego. No big head. Just fine.

Geram. Tercekik. & Sakit Hati. :)

It had been a very messy day.

Serving all sorts of customers. Fulfilling their needs from early morning till the time every normal human being heading home after their heavy workload. Nabuei! Is that word acceptable? Imagine you get loaded by problems non-stop & most of them were by some unexpected scenarios?! Hmm. Not that I'm tired of those stupid deeds but because of my silly behavior. 1 my frens understands well.

At that time I was busy dealing with my HQ IT fella. Concentrating on the PC screen with numbers like1950.10.10.20:1520. Something I'm not into & caused by unknown reason that an office PC would get some parental control. Funny? Yes. The outlet email get blocked. Perhaps some nasty staff surfing porns? But no way as only the email inaccessible...

OK. After settling down everything, it was 7 something in the evening. Khidmat Negara 4 3hours+. Then as I'm doing my last piece of paperwork browsing, I almost got heart attack. There's an Entertainment Slip signed by my Marketing Dept Manager. Reason: Bernard Chandran visiting KL Plaza...

Couldn't believe he's in the shop 4 quite sometimes & I had no idea at all. Rushed in & out the outlet at that certain time & never noticed him. Or I should actually praise myself 4 being so concentrating & attentive? Kanine.

Asked almost every staffs 4 not informing he's here. Some said: Saya ada cakap mah. Jerit jerit Dato Bernard Chandran kat depan tapi you buat macam tak tau saje...Some goes: Siapa ta you minat sangat sama dia? Then I jerit jerit like orang utan. Though I might looked more to a hyppo.

No wonder the salmon bagel ordered by the manager was left long in the kitchen at that time. He's busy sousou with Dato Chandran while I messed with numberic PC troubleshooting. I even saw his long listed bill but I never wondered who would've ordered that much?

Speechless. Like missing something huge. Like something so close & we're unable to see it.

Kinda idolised Dato Bernard Chandran. Proud of him being such a successful Malaysian?! Nah. I'm not patriotic typo. Something nasty because of his hunkish persona? That's what some of my dearest frens mindset probably. It's his achievements & his charismatic accents inspired me most. Something I wish I'll owned someday. It's a daydream worth dreaming of.

"You are as good as how you visualize yourself. So be positive."

"Once your soul is happy, you won't even be bothered by what goes on with other people."

Knew he owned a boutique in KL Plaza & I missed him once months ago. Think he's busy with his fashion industry in Europe nowadays but yet he appeared again unexpectedly. Sign.

I told my staff: Nasib baik bukan Spice Girls yang datang sini. Kalo tak, you sure kena punye. I definitely looked stupid. & I always know.

Mr.1973


Remember "You're Beautiful"?

A song wildly popular years ago. From a CD full with an array of nice songs to melt all the sorrows & pains away.

It was him. James Blunt. & now he's back with yet another new material. Of course from his very much anticipated follow up album.

Surprisingly. It's pretty much soulful & catchy. Just like all his songs would've had.

Flawlessly beautiful. Simple as that.
