Kaohsiung MRT Mayday commemorative card

To commemorate the upcoming Kaohsiung「創造55555人」演唱會, Kaohsiung MRT is issuing a limited edition 2009五月天DNA紀念卡 which will go on sale on Saturday 28/11 at all Kaohsiung MRT station. Each ticket costs 200元. Wonder if there'll be any left by the time I'm there?

Archie gets married

I've been reading Archie comics for as long as I can remember, though I eventually grew out of it as they got too expensive to buy. The comic has been around for ages. Wonder if it's still popular these days..

In issue #600 (they've come a looong way) Archie got down on his knees and proposed to Veronica. About time - the Archie-Veronica-Betty love triangle have been going on for 65 years now! Somehow I've always knew that Archie would pick Veronica over Betty. Aww poor Betty, just look at her expression on the cover of issue #601.

H1N1 strikes back

Just when you thought it's safe to go back out again.

China's Ministry of Health has on Monday, warned of a new round of H1N1 outbreak in the Mainland, as the number of infections continue to rise and the coming of winter may bring the number of infections up. Taiwan too, is bracing for a second wave of the H1N1 epidemic *yikes!*

In light of the current outbreak in China, Leehom has postponed his upcoming Quanzhou concert.

Unwell

This blog has been quiet for the past few days, and I was gonna blame it on lack of Mayday news.. but the truth is that I was sick to the bone.

There's news on Mayday's Tokyo D.N.A concert here (if you can read Japanese..). They will be heading to Singapore next to attend this Friday's Hit Awards.

Happy Halloween

HAPPY HALLOWEEN !!

Those who are attending the DNA concert in Chongqing tonight, have fun!

I ♥ my Converse

After almost 3 years of abuse, my trusty pair of chucks is starting to wear out. The sides of the edge seal is cracking in a couple of places...

I contemplated buying a new pair of chucks, but they didn't have any new design that I like, so I ended up with a new pair of Nike.

Wore them last weekend and almost ended up with blisters after walking for hours. The leather is stiff o_O They say it takes time to break in a new pair of shoes and I need to break them in by next month without having to wear them everyday! Wonder if mom would mind wearing them for her daily morning walk.. XD

I never had any problem breaking in my chucks when they were brand new and they are definitely the most comfortable footwear I've ever owned.

誰是全台「第一大帥哥」?

Yahoo Taiwan recently conducted a public opinion poll to determine who are Taiwan's 'shuai ge' [誰是全台「第一大帥哥」？]. The poll closed sooner than I expected, I only managed to cast one vote...

Takeshi Kaneshiro came out in the top spot (deservingly so). Don't know how Jerry Yan managed get to no. 2. Leehom is at no 9 and my favourite is at no. 10

1. 金城武 TAKESHI KANESHIRO 19.3%
2. 言承旭 JERRY YAN 16.6%
3. 明道 MING DAO 6.8%
4. 羅志祥 SHOW LUO 5.7%
5. 吳尊 WU ZUN 4.3%
6. 周渝民 VIC ZHOU 4.1%
7. 賀軍翔 MIKE HE 3.7%
8. 蕭敬騰 JAM HSIAO 3.4%
9. 王力宏 LEEHOM 3.4%
10.阿信 ASHIN 3.1%

Weekend enews update

What a weekend. So much enews to digest.

in Kaohsiung, Mayday paid a visit to the city to attend a press conference and rode on the MRT, which was launched in 2008 (which was still under construction during my last visit to Kaohsiung).

2 thumbs up for the new Stay Real shirt

Coldplay Viva 2010 calendar

Got my first 2010 calendar from Stephanie (thanks dear!) sometime ago but I was told not to reveal it as back then it wasn't released in the market yet. She works for the publisher who printed the Coldplay calendar - hence my free advance copy.

It's a 16-month calendar that runs from September '09 to December '10. Don't know if I am gonna use it (I suppose I shouldn't let it go to waste..) But I don't really like Coldplay much! Used to listen to them way back before their debut album was released.. when Jo Whiley used to play their first few singles a lot on BBC Radio One. These days I don't listen to them bedwetters no more.

Additional tickets for 五月天「創造55555人」演唱會

There won't be a second night for the「創造55555人」演唱會, however additional tickets will be released due to the phenomenal demand for the concert, which saw a total of 47,500 tickets being sold out in just 48 hours. Many fans who could not get tickets had to resort to alternative channel and ticket touts were re-selling $3280 tickets for up to $18000 (!!!). Some unfortunate fans fell victim to fake ticket scam.

Additional 7,000 tickets in the $980 and $1880 ticket price range with a free standing section (see picture below) will go on sale tomorrow (Friday 23/10) at 5:55PM. If you haven't got your ticket, don't miss the chance!
