Meet A-Mei & the Browns [3/3]

Starry Starry Night! Got the privilege to snap as much as we like at the media room during F1 Rocks Concert! Few of us waited eagerly for the Pop Diva A-Mit Zhang Hui Mei to walk into the room. As the Diva appeared, she coolly posed before the cameras. She’s just so freaking awesome! *Screammmm!*

Still not used to calling her A-Mit. A-Mei rocks! “Pose for me!”

Her complexion is seemingly flawless! But she had red, bloodshot eyes that night.

A-Mei with Havana Brown, Australia’s top female R&B DJ.

Sexy lady = drooling man.

Oops I dunno how that look of disgust ended up in the storage card.

“Strikingly-amazed” look. Hey, can anyone tell us what’s on that face?

阿密特 A MIT – 黑吃黑 at F1 Rocks (Warning: inferior quality!) *It’s BULLSH**T!*

And I won’t want to miss a shot with Mr Brown! He’s the Blogfather of Singapore OK! No joke! Do we look like bro n sis?

So now you know the two Browns: Havana Brown and Mr Brown.

Oh ya! HAPPY CHILDREN’S DAY!

F1 Rocks Concert [2/3]

What a high octane weekend! I have been busily updating this site with the most recent F1 racecar photos and videos taken from Singapore F1 Night Race… and still have many photos of A-mei taken from the F1 Rocks Concert media room yet to be published!

OK! Here is a continuation from F1 Rocks [1/3]. Photos and videos of the F1 Rocks Concert featuring JackyCheung, A-Mei (A-Mit), Sodagreen and Da Mouth rocking the night away.

Warning: Low Quality Videos!

Guess who’s this guy with the long grey wig? It’s Jacky Cheung 张学友! He was sorry to make us wait for at least 35mins when everyone was feeling high after the popstar diva A-mei’s performance, due to technical issue.

Jacky said he was aiming to look like a rock star, and his hair should cover his face most of the time. I don’t quite like it cos I couldn’t see his face clearly! Seems to me that he just wanted to cover up his face for some reasons But it doesn’t matter cos he’s a great singer!

A video that combines two Cantonese love songs by Jacky Cheung. I was standing too near to the speaker so the sound quality isn’t good. I got “blasted” at the end of the concert and thought I was temporarily deaf in one ear.

掉了 by 阿密特 (張惠妹): She is called A-Mit now. So what about A-Mei 阿妹? Maybe she doesn’t want to be called 阿妹 (little sister) as she grows older.

阿密特(張惠妹) A-Mit . Dunno what’s the title of this song. It’s a half done video.
Warning: Low Quality!

A-mei joined Jacky Cheung for the second last song. Dunno what song is that but they were dancing affectionately and playfully.

Some special stage effects during Jacky’s performance.

This shot of sexy Aisha from Da Mouth – the Taiwanese Hip-hop band was snapped by LG GC900 Viewty Smart! I didn’t edit the quality (eg. contrast/color) of this photo. Frankly speaking, what kind of picture quality do you expect with your handphone camera if you were to take photos of dancers and singers hip-hopping around the stage that was at some distance away from you?

LG’s Viewty has done a good job with its 8 megapixel camera. The photos of the Superstars taken with Viewty are reasonably good and clear enough to get some envious looks from my friends who didn’t make it to F1 Rocks!

Da Mouth 大嘴巴 (Warning: Low quality video, half done!)

Sodagreen 苏打绿

Sodagreen 狂热 / Kuang Re Video (Warning: Low quality video, half done!)

The grand finale of the rock concert with all the pop stars at the stage singing “Heal the World” to commemorate the late King of Pop – Michael Jackson.

Next, A-Mei (aka A-Mit) up close at the media centre, and more videos!

F1 Rocks!!! [1/3]

The world’s only F1 Night Race has begun in Singapore since last night. Tonight is the qualifying rounds and tomorrow is the final race. I want to watch F1!!! Yay can only watch it ‘live’ on TV. My friend told me they could catch glimpses of the F1 race at Marina ~~Bay~~ Square last year and the sound was so deafening that she got headache. Sounds good! I think I’ll just mingle around the area tomorrow. LOL (update: I did get the ticket to watch F1 Qualifying Rounds at the last min!)

F1 Rocks™ Singapore is the first ever F1 rocks concert held during the Grand Prix week set to rock the F1 Night Race city with ‘live’ performances featuring some of the biggest stars like Beyonce and Black Eyed Peas. Thankfully, I got a pair of complimentary tickets from LG, the sponsor of F1 Rocks™, to attend the rock concert two days ago.

Getting ready for a high-octane evening with Jacky Cheung, the legendary singer from Hong Kong, together with the diva of mandarin pop – A-mei, Sodagreen and Da Mouth after walking up flights of stairs to Fort Canning hill where F1 Rocks is held. We reached around 6.45pm and our tickets allowed us through the fast track entry so there was no queue and it was hassle free with the security. I heard that some die-hard fans were already queuing up at the normal entry since 7am in the morning!

Well well since I’m a travel blogger, I won’t want to miss this cannon. You’ll come across this 9-pound cannon at Fort Canning hill. Like the name suggests, it’s meant to shoot a 9-pound cannonball. This kind of gun dates back from the early 19-century and had become obsolete before Fort Canning was built. So, you better not think that this is our line of defence. XD

Here is the F1 ROCKS Concert! It’s a rain or shine event and the day was hot and humid. Fortunately, no rain. The band on the stage was Sodagreen who were trying out the sound systems while we waited eagerly for the show to start at 7pm+.

A little history about Fort Canning hill: It was once the forbidden hill of ancient Malay royalty. Later the British colonial leaders made their residences there and the hill became a military base during WWII. Now, what is left is the reminder of Singapore’s colonial past.

How to go to Fort Canning Park? Nearest MRT stations: City Hall, Clarke Quay or Dhoby Ghaut. It is about 8-10mins walk from each station.
