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。

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.

Gonna Watch This No Matter What.

It's nearly the end of year 2007. Perhaps the cinemas gonna get stomped with lots of blockbuster again.

The Golden Compass. Alvin & The Chipmunks. Warlords etc...

"You can catch a number of movies when you do. & none at all when you're not in the mood" My fren told me so last nite.

Hmm. It's true though. I can get 3 to 4 movies in a week sometimes. & the most important thing is I've got no problem to walk into cinemas alone.

Sometimes we are so fond of a title. Because of the stories, because of the genre, or simply because of the faces we like. Then?! Our dearest movie mates would start bubbling on the phone, giving a mouthful of nonsense that made you go: Sudahlah!

Even it's a FREE tickets, people still think much very often whether to spend their precious time...If the movie isn't their cup of tea.

Found this title days ago. Featuring some of my favourite faces like feisty Scarlett, sophisticated Natalie & hunkish Eric Bana.

The story will be some sort of cat fights between 2 sister to owned the King's heart. Very interesting seemingly. Kinda like "The Prestige". For I've always fond of topics regarding dark sides of humanity.

Anyway, this movie only hitting theaters in May 2008. Still a long long way to go, & much much more worth watching before the launch of - THE OTHER BOLEYN GIRL.



PS: If only Keira & Hugh are on it, this movie gonna be more MASSIVE.

This is for the gamers!

I don't think any1 who's into gaming, back then or now, would've never heard of Street Fighter.

It's 1 of the finest classic 2D fighting game that drew all the other titles such as KOF & those VS series.

I'm so into Street Fither during it's marvellous days. Played the games, read the mangas & watched the animes. Hardcore I must say. & I admit it.

Street Fighter III 3rd Strike. The last installment of the title, released in year 1999 was the best & my most fav of all, managed to draw my playing intentions each & every time I turned my PS2 on. It's been 2 years since I "stole" the game from my fren, & I'm addicted till now.

There's always a Street Fighter artwork on my blog's layout if any1 noticed. Sort of trying to keep some of my favourites at all time.

It's been ages since then. & I've already accepted that there's no more Street Fighter coming.

They're back. Shocked me the way Spice Girls reunited anounncement did.

Simply can't wait. For the upcoming STREET FIGHTER IV!

Headlines (Friendship Never Ends)!!


The wait is finally over. 4 the new video of Spice Girls. Kinda like it very much as the colour combination is awesome. It's sweet & very relaxing.

Of course there's the "Mamas". They managed to get back in shape. & more sophisticated than ever.

Perhaps it's Nuff' said on the Spice Girls. Now it's only days from their Greatest Hits album, which includes the 2nd new song, "Voodoo". Then it's their 1st performance, Tesco ad & so on.

Victoria' brunette again. Melanie B scored a perfect 30/30 with his partner on week 6 of "Dancing With The Stars". Emma's shared the 1st pic of baby Beau...They were HUGE. & they'll always be.


















Hmm...I wonder what happened to Melanie C's video pic?!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Not to be missed...on the BIG screen!



Ratatouille. Rat.a.too.ee! An offer from Pixar which is hitting the BIG screen this month. I've enjoyed the trailer each & every time it get shown. Kinda fancy everything about gourmet. About great food & relationship. Can't wait but it'll soon unfold the magical great taste in the theatre.

There's more.

Coming on Dec. Starring my fav Nicole Kidman, the new Bond hunk Daniel Craig & Casino Royale's Eva Green, The Golden Compass. Based upon Northern Lights,the 1st novel in Philip Pullman's trilogy: His Dark Materials.

Well. With the polar bear & all sorts of transformable creatures. The young & innocent heroine & the world in fantasy. The art effect & all the witches. It's all pretty much like Narnia & ermm...I forget the 2nd movie's title. It's just worth waiting 4. & sure not to be missed. Let's see if it'll make another trilogy: classic.

2 Marvellous Male.

1st it's Kris Philips. a.k.a 費翔. Many would describe him as an uncle with some sissy behavior. He's bought back into the mainstream years ago in Happy Sunday by Momoko, 陶晶瑩. It's was then I found his voice so powerful & sort of idolised his charm.

Still remember when I served myself in Wingsmusicafe KL in year 2005, I won a pair of tickets to his concert held in Genting. Then I offered my HK tripmate & he drove all the way up there. With his not-to-play-play BGQ 1690. Though at that time it's not tranformable. Or else it would saved us lots of energy & $. Haha.

Stunned by his performance. His voice is truly to be reckon with. Even AK impressed & support me the concert is better than SHE's. Let me clarify: AK was a huge SHE fan back then & he's never knew who 費翔 is he appeared on stage. Free things sure caught his attention. Trust me!!

& then it's Hugh Jackman. Best known 4 his savage playrole Wolverine in the wildly popular series X-Men. I like X-Men very much but his role as Wolvie might be abit too tall. But anyway he's among the only 1 or 2 acceptable character in the movie series. The rest were...erm...>_<

I like him best in The Prestige. Which I enjoyed very very much. With the hunky body & not so good acting, he's still managed to impressed. Now I was shocked. With his vids on Youtube. He's talented on stage. It's just brilliant with his killer charm & the bon-bon shaking. Anyway his voice is somehow duckie...though it's great effortlessly.

Here's 4 the sharing.







Amazed?! I do. 100%. Till the day I'm at the age of theirs now & I owned the talents like they do...Or at least the look like they do, I'm STILL amazed.
