Lunar birthday

Today is my birthday.. again.

My actual birthday was 2 weeks back, and today is my lunar birthday. Not that there's a need for double celebration, but more birthday pressies are always welcome LOL though I’ve already got what I wanted =D

Kobron 2009 A & W collection

Mainlanders come up with the weirdest names for clothing labels. The weirdest I've heard by far is Bosideng which is a menswear brand (who would've thought..?), currently endorsed by Leehom. Mayday are endorsing Kobron, a casual trendy clothing brand.

I was browsing through Kobron's website and they had a catalogue for their latest autumn and winter collection including this hilarious looking Inspector Gadget trench coat donned by Ashin LOL!

iCash card

Almost each time after I step out of 7-11 in Taiwan, I'd end up with a pocket full of coins so I've decided to get myself an iCash card.

DT's apartment

Here's an interesting concept. An apartment themed establishment. It's been done here - by an alfresco restaurant cum bar in town named "Apartment". Dined there once, it's actually not too bad.

And now we have an apartment themed concert set-up by David Tao in his latest concert titled "DT In Space: The Rock & Talk Show". Because his new album is titled "Opus 69" and is heavily influenced by rock music of the 70's, so here we have a retro apartment themed setup on stage. Vintage furniture for a vintage man. LOL. If the venue was any bigger, I'm sure his Cadillac or Mustang would've been a prop onstage.

David hopes to bring the concert to KL *fingers crossed* Hopefully we'll get to see him in action in town soon

Got me tix

I got my row 2 五月天[創造55555人]高雄演唱會 ticket! My belated birthday pressie =]

Have sorted out my airticket and hotel, so I'm all set to go. A big thank you to bebek for sorting out the tickets!

Kaohsiung 2nd concert?

When all 55,555 tickets for the upcoming「創造55555人」concert was sold out in just 3 days, there was talk about an additional show being added.

Fans have requested that a second show NOT be added, claiming that getting the concert tickets is too exhausting an ordeal! Anyone who has gone through it would know how tiring and frustrating the process can be. Yours truly ended up staring at the computer screen for hours on end

Considering how huge the Expo is, the audience for the single concert alone outnumbers the total for the previous 4 nights at Taipei Arena (which numbered less than 50,000)

The lads meanwhile were in HK yesterday to promote the upcoming 「創造55555人」 concert.

Do you have the time to listen to me whine?

Green Day.

They are heading to Singapore for a concert on 14 January 2010 at the Singapore Indoor Stadium. First time ever in South East Asia! Tickets cost: S$128 (standing), S$88, S$128 and $148 (seated) from SISTIC Outlets plus S$3 SISTIC fee. Public sales commence on 15 October 2009

I do like some of their old songs which reminds me of my school years haha! Songs like Basket Case, When I Come Around, Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life), Minority, Wake Me Up When September Ends, Boulevard Of Broken Dreams. As much as I would like to attend, I'm tied down with travel plans in December (see previous post). Too many travel plans, not enough budget. Sigh.

Hunt for the Red October

Finally secured tickets to the much anticipated upcoming 五月天 [創造55555人] 高雄演唱, which will be my 10th D.N.A concert. 

Initially I planned to go only if I could secure good tickets (within the range of the first 5 rows) but after reading about how the Expo doesn't have a time limit (which means Ashin can sing well into the night until his birthday, which coincidentally falls on 6 December) and how this is gonna be different from the other D.N.A concerts, I was determined to go. By hook or by crook I had to attend this one ;)

I love outdoor gigs - the atmosphere is somewhat different. It's a lot more fun than indoor gigs and this is gonna be a massive grand one. As of yesterday afternoon, all 55,5555 tickets which went on sale last Friday were completely sold out, all in a span of just 3 days!

Momiji

I hear these Momiji dolls are all the rage now. To be honest, I've never heard or read about them until I got one for my birthday from Xiao Pin.

Momiji makes miniature wooden Japanese dolls and they come in different designs. It looks rather cute don't it? Could've done better paint job though...

Ashin caught for narcotics offence..??

This is a funny piece of news. According to news report today, a certain 陳信宏 was nabbed for dealing in narcotics and the website that reported the news had plastered a picture of Ashin (LMAO!!). Not to be confused with Ashin, the real culprit is actually a Taiwanese actor with the same name in Chinese.

This isn't the first time Ashin has been mixed up with other 'Ashins' LOL. I hear it's a common name in Taiwan, and let's not forget there's another band in Taiwan called "Shin", who's ex-frontman also goes by the name A-Shin
