A Fruitful Week, With Hokkien Songs!

"lang zi" or not, i was certainly a very happy person last week, with nice things/activities happening everyday, making it a fruitful week. hmm... let me recount the week from the weekend right back to the beginning of the week. i attended two good friends' wedding ceremony, celebrated birthday of another good friend, visited the marvelous newly opened marina barrage, played table tennis with my colleagues, attended company DnD, and attended a non-sports event at Singapore Indoor Stadium for the first time in my life!

last monday's visit to SIS was certainly not my first time there, but previous trips there were all to catch sporting action, namely table tennis and badminton. on 27oct2008, i made my debut there for a non-sports event finally! it was a concert...

its Judy Ongg's concert. so happy to hear her sing 《海鸥》live in person, and hokkien songs as well. i suppose it may be unlike someone whos before his thirties to like hokkien songs, but somehow i just get a very relaxed and laid-back feeling whenever i listen to them, even if they are those sung by pop singers like 五月天. and i find the lyrics of most hokkien songs very meaningful. i memorised the lyrics and learned my first hokkien song 《爱拼才会赢》when i was 16. to this day, i will often still sing this motivational song to myself.
