Mohegan Sun tickets

My Mohegan Sun tickets have arrived. Row A (first row haha!) Section 3 tickets for both the 2:00am and 2:00pm shows :) I had wanted Section 2 seats, which is the middle block, but was informed that they were reserved. Darn those casino highrollers :P

Mohegan Sun is running a contest to win free tickets. Grand prize is a cool 10 VIP tickets + 2 hotel room stay and buffet for 10 pax. There's also 25 consolation prize of 4 concert tickets each. Contest ends 15 March. Good luck!

DNA World Tour In Live DVD & Blu-ray!

Omigosh DNA World Tour is going to be released on DVD and blu-ray format! blu-ray!! hoo-ray! LOL At long last. I have been waiting for them to release their concert/MV disc in blu-ray format. The truth is, the quality of their DVD releases suck, so hopefully the blu-ray version will be a step forward.

Pre-order in Taiwan starts on 24 Feb and will run for a month. Price for the 2DVD + 1DVD version is NT$590 and the blu-ray +1DVD version costs NT$990, which is almost double the price of the DVD version! No matter, at least with the blu-ray I can watch it with full screen on my LCD TV :)

Ash Wednesday

Today is Ash Wednesday. Yesterday was Pancake Day. Folks in the UK traditionally eat pancake on Shrove Tuesday. It was something that I look forward to as a student in England as I love pancakes. I love all sort of pancakes and my favourite is crepe. There was a fabulous crepe place in Hampstead, London that sells incredibly yummy nutella and banana crepes - my absolute favourite!

Ash Wednesday marks the first day of Lent and Easter Sunday is 46 days away (by the way, Mayday will be having Easter Sunday concert at Mohegan Sun haha)

CNY Mayday updates

In his CNY blog post last night, Ashin revealed that he (they) are on a 20 day break and the (new) tour which will resume in late March will include stops in Beijing, Xiamen, New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Sydney, Melbourne, Gold Coast, New Zealand, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Wuhan and Hong Kong. Time to start saving up those red packet money you've collected for the upcoming tour :)

For the record, Mohegan Sun is not in New York, it is in the neighbouring state of Connecticut and San Jose is a city nearing San Francisco. LOL.

Are Mayday touring Australia for the second time in less than a year? That's good news for Aussie fans. The next tour will also include Gold Coast (Brisbane?). Kiwi fans can look out for them as New Zealand has been included as well.

Happy Tiger Year

Wishing everyone a very Happy and Properous Chinese New Year!!

新年快樂

恭喜發財

NFL Blitz episode 13

Watched NFL Blitz episode 13 this afternoon and it took hours for the barely 29 minute program to stream @.@ I've been told watching it in Tudou is faster, but I prefer to watch in on CCTV.

The episode saw the band in the homeground of Virginia Tech Hokies with Kevin Cheng, some dude from NFL (same dude who, in another video had introduced Mayday as "a rock band from China") who showed the band some of the equipment NFL players use for training.

Did anyone else notice the dude in Stay Real Kitty hoodie had blisters (or is that a wart?) and a scratch on his right hand? Is that why he's almost always in long sleeved clothing in the series LOL

this hand look like it's had too many rigorous NFL training

NFL Blitz episode 12

First up, congratulations to the New Orleans Saints for winning the Super Bowl XLIV yesterday.

Episode 12 of NFL Blitz (which by the way appears to be a continuation from episode 6) saw Mayday coaching kids in a football game. Aww how cute and enthusiastic kids can be. Papa Stone appears to be the only one who had passion for coaching and dealing with little kiddies. And possibly the only one who could communicate effectively with them haha.

showdown to see who gets to pick which team
