2009 驾到!
and so a new year begins! spent the last night at my mum's friends house again, BBQ-ing and counting down at the same time. i was also watching the taiwan countdown party on tv. the standard of the countdown party is so high, it really puts singapore's countdown party to shame. the most famous performer that came down to singapore was probably... gary? haha...
on the other hand, the taiwan countdown party, despite lasting for 6 long hours (7pm - 1am), was much more entertaining, with many quality performances, that keeps the audiences high throughout. the list of performing artistes probably speaks for itself. i didnt watch the entire program (cos i was BBQ-ing halfway, and someone wanted to watch little nonya halfway), but those that i saw were ding dang, fish, SHE, da mouth, mc hotdog, ah mei and mayday! apparently there was also lu guang zhong, jam and aska. haha.
ai sha's dancing is superb on the stage! i was soo captivated at how supple her body was when dancing to "guo wang huang hou". and fish's singing is as dong4 ren2 as ever. she's undoubtedly the queen of qing ge, and i cant wait for her upcoming album, "jing ru & qing ge". ding dang's live performance was surprisingly much better than i expected too, and her voice was really sweet. haha and i liked how they put 2 of my favourite singers, ah mei and mayday as "ya zhou". ah mei sang for a good 20+ mins before midnight, and mayday took the baton after that. (with a brilliant fireworks display in between) wow. im really amazed at how exciting the taiwanese countdown was. i really wished i was part of the crowd yesterday!
fireworks from taipei 101!anyway, 2009 promises to be one of the most anticipated years in my life so far. ill be starting the year with relief teaching, which is something i have always wanted to try out. and i look forward to this experience. then, ill be finally embarking on my overseas studies this year in my dream university. i have been waiting for that moment for years! ill finally be able to return to studies, and this time, ill be studying ONLY my favourite subject! cant wait for the time to arrive! and last but not least, ill be turning 21 this year, which is supposedly a momentous moment in one's life, for it signifies the turning of a teenager into an adult. and of course, that comes with the added responsibilities of full freedom.
i hope 2009 will be a great year, and...
HAPPY NEW YEAR to everyone!
ive just listened to the top 100 countdown on 933 for a day, and now ill be listening to shi xin hui's and fei lun hai's new albums! really impressed with shi xin hui's new makeover in her new album, and her first hit, 女皇驾到 is also very nice! off to sample both albums now... the first albums im sampling for 2009!
