This blog is birthed as a result of my new-found passion: photography.
Rock photography to be precise.
I came across this booklet with a Rolling-Stones-worthy cover, it caught my eye and i started reading it, to realise there is such a thing as rock photography.
I live for music. I love music. And i love it even more when it's live. I made it a personal achievement as well as a hobby to attend live concerts.
The first concert I ever been to was when i was in Primary 3? so that was 9 years old. Bought the cheapest tickets where I could see nothing - but I was too young to know what's going on anyway. it's an all-star concert with people like aaron kwok + i can't remember.
Primary 4, my family won a pair of tickets to the Jacky Cheung concert.
He postponed his concert and I remember vividly, I had tuition on that day. So my tuition teacher + my family didn't allow me to go since the rescheduled date falls on the week before my streaming exams.
!@#$%^&*()@#$%^&*(!@#$%^&*(!@#$%^&
If only i grew up sooner.
Missing ANY concerts for tuition class is pathetic.
Not to say, futile. that 1.5 hours at the class isn't gonna make you top the class if you weren't able to top it anyway.
Anyway.. that's over. Then followed by Faye Wong. I think I went to her concert in '98? It was on a V-Day and I went with my mom. Fantastic concert but i couldn't remember much.
And I've been to see Wu Bai - which i remember vividly. 3 encores mannnn. Also seen Wu Bai live for free at one outdoor concert to celebrate national day - that was when i was 17. to date, I've seen wu bai live at least 4 times. And i'm thrilled and excited each and everytime.
Then subsequently i've been to a few... the cranberries+no doubt double-bill... the robbie williams concert.. the rolling stones (cos i won the tickets from the now-defunct channel i).
I really kicked it up a notch when i was in brisbane, australia. i went on a concert spreeeeeeeee. =D
I've seen Billy Corgan (the closest I'll get to Smashing Pumpkins), Coldplay (TWICE!), The Strokes, Jason Mraz, John Mayer, Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Well John Mayer and RHCP was a long story which i will tell slowly, but surely. right here on this blog.
From now on, i'll blog about my concert experience - not really reviewing them - but how i see and hear them from my eyes + ears.
And pictures galore. I bought myself a Canon S5-IS, and it's fabulous. The pictures quality are excellent. Video qualities are great, beyond great actually.
See the music alive, through my eyes.
