Feature : Jeff Chang In Concert

Went for this concert just now, which Jeff 张信哲 performed with our NAFA (南洋艺术学院) orchestra at the Singapore Expo Max Pavillion. Was nearly late for the concert as my lesson ended pretty late. Fortunately Ms A waited patiently for me as I switched to a cab midway through the journey.

The concert was divided into 5 parts, showcasing the different types of love songs and ballads he sang throughout his career. He also sang 2 songs which can be found in his latest album to be released in April. I only knew today that he is label mates with JJ Lin, A Do & Jin Sha.

He managed to get us to sing with him some songs like 爱如潮水, 过火. I feel that he combined well with the orchestra and made some changes to the music arrangement of some songs. In connection with the Singapore leg of the concert, he tried to sing some of his songs written by Singapore composers,叶良俊，Roy Lui, 陈佳明 and Dick Lee.

The NAFA orchestra also entertained us with their great playing of classical music when Jeff made his costume change. Too bad, the concert was a bit short, about 2 hrs and 15 mins if you add in the encore portion of 3 songs. I was a little disappointed that he didn't sing 爱就一个字.

Overall I enjoyed the concert very much and it was really worth the ticket price for a 3.5 out of 5 concert.

Pantang- Meaning Things Not To Do In Hokkien

There are certain things which some Chinese are pretty particular with:- Happy and sad events can't clash together within 100 days to a year. If a relative or loved one were to pass away, the immediate family member can't attend a happy event, like wedding & housewarming. The Teochews treat their eldest male grandchild as their youngest son. If you are getting married & your friend who is getting married invites you to his wedding, u are not allowed to attend. The old people say happy events clash. The red packet can't be given twice for a happy event. Likewise for the condolence packet. One should not give shoes or lamp to a birthday boy or gal, as it is believed that you may bring the person to his deathbed. These are some interesting stuff to share, especially to some blog readers who are not living in a place filled with Chinese.

I started my day early today at 8.30am. I was helping my mum with the flower decoration & slept at 1am last night. Had received CNY sms messages from my ex colleague, LS, Angela, Rebecca, Darling, Caifeng, Huixuan, Huiyu, Mac, Jaslyn, Joey, Candy , Kelvin, Rich & Mike. Thanks for all your well wishes, my friends. The 1st stop was at my grandma's place, which we were lucky to get a cab almost immediately after waiting for just a short while. In the ride, my mum & I were chatting casually about some issues that happened in S'pore recently, when we actually touched on the old cobbler cheating Vietnamese gals to be his bride. The cabby told us an incident that happened to his friend. His friend, a guy aged 39 had married a Thai gal aged 23 some years ago. Soon after, they became parents to a baby boy. When the boy turned 3, the gal took away the money in the joint bank account with her husband. The savings totalled to about $100,000, which the guy had saved for years fr...
