安全地带演唱会一级棒！

上个星期日和同事去看了安全地带演唱会。没听过吧这个组合的名字。这是一个日本团体，第一次来本地演唱。五个成员都已是年过半百的人了，不过实力依然没话说。 坦白说，起初我和同事都很心不甘，情不愿的去看。 不过一开始开唱，整个气氛就high了起来。主唱其实只有一个，从八点半开始就唱到十点多，就连换衣服也没下台过，只换了另一件外套便继续再唱，中气实在足够，连休息片刻都没有。他令我肃然起敬，对他的专业程度我很敬佩。

他唱的日文歌，我那零零落落学的日语只听得懂一点点，不过他的声音却能感染到我，唱慢歌时会不经意被带进他的世界里，听到眼眶都会泛起泪光。他很厉害吧。相信不只是我这么觉得，亦或是我泪腺太过发达，一定很多人都是那么认为的。 

我们和他们语言不通，他们也只会讲一点点英语，所以绝大部分时间都是在呈现歌艺和耍他们悦耳动听的乐器。

他们真的很棒，如Fan Premium上面写的 “安全地带一级棒”，真是名副其实。

感谢有机会目睹了一场那么棒的演唱会。

杨丞琳的演唱会 － 16 Oct 2010

昨天去看了杨丞琳的演唱会。 我认为她是一位很认真的艺人，无论在主持，演戏或是唱歌方面她都很尽全力地去呈现最完美的一面。也许是和她的成长和生活环境有关吧，造就了她比同龄女孩还更要成熟的个性（我觉得啦）。有个在娱乐界工作的朋友告诉我说，艺人都是戏子，人前人后两种样子，所以她总会和他们保持着专业的关系，除此之外不会有往来。不知拥有真实性情的艺人存在吗？

不管如何，任何行业都会有它的利与弊，尤其在混杂的娱乐圈里，是非诱惑多，要懂得洁身自爱还真得费好大的功夫才行。也许适当的伪装才可以保护自己吧。

还好她的演唱会有很多首歌曲我都有听过，再加上有看她的偶像连续剧，所以歌曲熟悉度还挺高的。例如，‘暧昧’，‘庆祝’，‘带我走’，‘过敏’ 还有 ‘缺氧’ 等等，都是耳熟能响的歌。 她也有载歌载舞的时侯，还挺entertaining的。她也有和我们分享她的所谓爱情故事和心情，借由喜欢的艺人的歌曲来表达，例如 王菲的 ‘棋子’，陈奕迅和张惠妹的歌曲等。

没想到她的Encore歌曲只有一首，颇觉得不够，起码得唱个三首嘛，才会让人意犹未尽。也许只经历过Encore后她出来唱完一首歌就散场了的我而言，内心还觉得挺abrupt的。

不过整体而言，对这位首度来我国开唱的杨丞琳来讲，我认为她是挺优秀的。

'Eat Pray Love' Movie

Yesterday went to watch 'Eat, Pray, Love' movie starred by Juliet Robert. This 140min movie was about her embarking on an one-year self-discovery journey. Altogether, she went to 3 countries: Italy on an eating spree, India on meditating to cleanse mind and soul; & lastly Bali where she met the love of her life. It all began when she, as a writer, felt soul-less in her life at New York and her marriage of 8 years. In the end, she divorced her husband and went on this 1 year adventurous journey to seek 'happiness'.

Had she not be the lead actress, this might be a plain story plot. However she really acted out the character, and brought me into the story with her.

I actually wondered: How many of us here in Singapore are able to quit a job and leave everything behind? I guess it's not that simple in real life after all, where there's so many commitments holding you back. Or maybe it's the lack of courage to move forward, into the unknown. Not many people would want to venture into the unknown and leave a comfortable life. How many people actually become happier when abroad, in different places every now and then?

But one thing is for sure: you get to meet different types of people, and experience little surprises along the way every day.
Would life be more interesting this way?
