Review on the 4 Divas

I took a cab with my grandmother on the 9th September 2007 to Kallang Indoor Stadium for the " 4 Divas " concert. It was quite an unusual experience because I've never went to a concert with my grandma before. haha.. it was nice though.. to spend some time with her. I also notice that there were alot of cantonese audiences.

The concert stared off with the 4 divas with a power house song... their vocals are incredible. All very strong but different. Maria (肥妈 - 玛莉亚) started off first her solo first. A funny lady... she mentioned she had 6 children and 11 grandchildren! I was shocked. Then, she mentioned her "hanging/flabby arms". Damn funny... she said when she sing "london bridge is falling down" to her grandson, she say her hanging arm really "falling" down. Haha.. and she want to "chop chop chop" it off. I laughed to tears. I was inspired by her frankness and shes really comfortable in her own skin. No wonder shes a diva. She also cried when singing a song because shes soo touched. Abit touching.

Next came, Anita Sarawak with her newly curled black tresses. Not very recognisable. She was really energetic and danced and sashayed around like a diva/mad woman. haha... The songs she sang includes :- 'Jing Tian Bu Hui Jia' and 'mambo number 5'. She dressed in a beautiful green flowing dress designed by a top designer.

The 4 Divas then started a combi and the Elisa Chan (陳潔靈), from Hong Kong started to sing her solo with a mixture of chinese and cantonese songs. Elisa had short short hair with a shining shining jacket. She came towards the audience (with her husband carrying her off the stage) when she sang a cantonese song. Her voice is nice too... smooth and melodic. Shes the "youngest" of the 4 divas.

Francis Yip joined her with a dual cantonese song. Francis Yip is a really really great singer. She has a very strong voice. Powerful. Her theme song is "ShangHai Tan" and she also sang an english song about "You don't send me flowers anymore". Lovely and Sweet 59 yeared old lady. She also mentioned she didn't eat rice for 3 weeks. Amazing.

Overall, It was enjoyable. I went for supper with mama after that at Oasis Restaurant as they're famous for their Taiwan Porriage. We ordered Sambal Kangkong, Dao Xi Fish and "Cai Por with Large intestines". Nice supper.
I went home, sleepy but glad with a song in my head.

Two Good Things... maybe

There's 2 good things happening to me in this month and in October. However, I'm still uncertain if they're really as great as they seem...

1. I'm going to a concert tomorrow with my grandmother. Its title : ''4 Asian Divas Live in Concert'' . Kindda excited now... I choose better seats with a total damage of $260 for 2 tickets!!! It'd better be good manz.

Abit more about the concert :-

(The divas, consisting of Frances Yip (葉麗儀), Anita Sarawak, Maria Cordero (肥妈 - 玛莉亚) and Elisa Chan (陳潔靈), are world class performers known for their powerhouse vocals and excellent showmanship.Having accumulated more than a century worth of experience between them, the stage truly belongs to these four Asian divas. Equally adept with both fast tracks and ballads, they will entertain with Mandarin, English and Cantonese hits, oldies and evergreens, making this a multi-racial performance. Having charmed dignitaries, fellow celebrities and fans alike in their critically acclaimed sold out shows in Hong Kong, Malaysia and Thailand, the four Asian divas finally come to Singapore for the first time ever on 9th September at the Singapore Indoor Stadium with the much anticipated "Four Asian Divas Live in Singapore".)

2. My director came to me about a week or so ago and asked if I was interested to go to Spain for my company's exibition there. My role there was to serve the guests refreshments and to make sure everyone is comfortable. Like machiam act like a vase. Crap... but I'm not gonna miss this opportunity. I agreed.

So, I'm really going to Gran Canaria (Spain) between the period of 17 Oct 07 to 26 or 27th Oct 07. Alongside with my boss, director, project director... (all big shots)! Can't believe it. I'm still not sure if its a good thing. But it seems like now. Excited. :)

Just hope I can get back to Singapore in time for my birthday. My 21st birthday. But even if its in Spain.. quite nice.
