What a horrid monday yesterday was!!
It started with the usual monday meeting and people pushing responsibilities. i really dunno how long the dept can function. there is something missing obviously and the glamour and glitz of yesteryear is no longer present.
Then meeting with another horrifying customer. Yes big customer but demanding. what to do?
lasted 2 hrs...draining....and came out having a headache.
Lunch at Ikea, ok not bad, at least i get to eat my fave SeaCoast Salad!! yay! but the price now up a dollar to $6.50!! sigh..... Ikea tampines feels lousy.....still alexandra is nice and cosy. Tampines is like the cheaper, uglier version.
Then came back office, did some emails and went out again. the meeting was alright. young people. nice people. happy people. unlike the first meeting.
then went for a breather. bought an 8 Days mag, shocking news!!! - Sun Yanzi was actually cast to act opp Aniki for TurnLeft/Right!! and gasp!!! she turned it down!!! SIOW AH!!!!! i think no confident lah, scared when kena throw eggs. haha. But in the end Gigi tree trunk is no better ....yuk...
Wanted to find a place to sit a rest and read the mag.....cant find anywhere condusive! so crowded and my fave Coffee Bean closed down! sad! what happened?
so settled unwillingly for J Co Donuts. Hate this place due to the horrible death-tifying transfat SMELL!! and never liked donuts! but the place had no smell and lots of seats and cool chill out music. ok lah, try. ordered a cuppacino - $4.20...quite an alright serving and guess what they gave a free medium donut! now that was a nice surprise^^ i didnt finish it though it was tasty but hey i really salute this BreadTalk owner for his mastery in retail!!!! his concepts and marketing is really right on the DOT!!! very sharp and precise to how to target the local crowd and thats why he is so successful! the stuff may not be the best but the concept is excellent - be it breadtalk, food republic, toast box and now this. His expansion is also quick and changes his menu and products frequently. hmmmm....maybe i should learn 1 or 2 things from a master like that.

Hard Working Eason!
Yesterday marks my 3rd Eason Chan concert!!! wow!! what a night!!!
The concert lasted 2hrs 45mins! now thats what i call value for money. at first i was apprehensive about the HIGH ticket prices.... (Hype Records sucks)......i never have to pay so much for concert tickets!! not even for Madonna in Japan!
anyway finally got the $168 ticket and got a pretty good seat the left of the stage. i am sure it will be super full house if its werent for the high prices. the top seats on the ground were like $228!!! common...
Thanks to Eason, the concert was worth every penny! He once again put in his everything and energy. i dont think its easy for any singer but eason is one person that trys hard. his singing was bit shakey at the begining and perhaps he was a bit nervous to form a rapport with the usual "laid back and reserved" spore crowd. but all was well esp at the final portion of the concert where most pple got up their ass and start moving ON to really enjoy the music. from then on, eason prob felt more at ease and ermm....sang better? well at least thats my feel.
the costumes were elaborate and interesting.....weird in someways but hey thats his trademark.
not all the costumes were the same as the HK concerts. and of course the stage more plain.
eason also spoke casually and joked around a bit. i think its tough for a market for spore as most of the fans said they wanted to hear the cantonese version of the songs, then some were prob just the general crowd and mind u lots do not understand cantonese and even know his cantonese songs well. so , in the end, i think he still chose the china format of his show to present here. safer lah.
But i really loved it when he sang in English or spoke in eng. he sand one britpop sounding song - hope you are glad or something from his new album. it was kinda good. he shld continue doing some english tracks.
I felt really happy to also sing Happy Birthday to him! its like something at least the audience can do or interact during the evening. he was touched and tickled by the band leader who used mandarin, eng and cantonese to ask the aud to sing the HB song.
I had a clear view of Eason;s wife and daughter Constance from my seat. Boy! is cons one active gal!! she was moving non stop during the whole concert, collecting the confetti on the floor and then throwing over the fence in fron of her. think the active genes came from daddy. haha
wife hilary as usual looking cool. friends like wyman, edmond leung, josie ho and husband also came to support. perhaps it was also to celebrate his Bday.
end of concert, waited for him at the backstage gate.....constance came out first, waving at us!! wow she learns fast. then eason came out and at first wanted to leave but decided to shake hands and he hugged some of his loyal fans that flew from HK. awwe...he was tired but i felt it was a nice thing to do.
well done eason!

Depressing
One of those sian qi days again....oh dear...
today is one of those days, u dont feel like getting out of bed, go office, no direction....look at high oil prices, internal pricing is so crappy....u really dunno what to do.
nothing much to feel excited about. like this how? had Long John Silvers for lunch! can u believe it? after days of eating lite....finally gave up. well its like that......you deprive yrself, after a while, your body just says "hey get a life dude!"...haha.......
feel quite irritated by the rising oil prices everyday. its giving me a headache because nowadays customers are also confused and its very hard to sell and convince. more like move along with mkt forces and pray.
doesnt help that cogen is also like a wall of paint. totally quiet and no action.
things have certainly changed in the co. this past 12 mths. culture is changing. familiar faces getting lesser.
