Pre-order countdown

Just a friendly reminder that tomorrow (Wednesday 18 November) is the start of the pre-order for the Mayday World Tour@Taipei Arena concert CD [小巨蛋DNA LIVE!! 演唱會創紀錄音].

Counting down 17 days to the release of the CD and 18 days to the Kaohsiung 「創造55555人」演唱會

Sony Ericsson battery life

I was having a bit of a problem with my Sony Ericsson phone battery lately. The indicator never seem to show "FULLY CHARGED" despite having been charged for hours. Maybe the battery has gone wonky, though it still lasts a good few days.

Why is this happening when my current SE W595 phone is only 8 months old? My other 3 year old SE W850i phone still works fine without a glitch. I think I'm gonna have the W595 sent for a check-up when I find the time, while it's still under warranty.

So I went online and did a bit of research, stumbled on this site/blog with a review on the Sony Ericsson satio mobile phone battery life. It seems to suggest that SE phones have the best battery in the market...

小巨蛋DNA LIVE!! 演唱會創紀錄音 (預購版)

Mayday's D.N.A concert(s) held at Taipei Arena this past September will be released on CD on 4 December 2009 priced at NT$468. Whoa - that's fast!!!

Pre-order for the CD will commence on 18 November 2009. Further details on the live CD can be found here.

First 10,000 copies of the CD will come with an exclusive DVD which sadly, doesn't contain the concert footage, only the DNA and 放肆 MV, among others.

I'm still waiting for the release of the concert DVD.. wonder if they're waiting to release the Kaohsiung concert on DVD..?

Pepero Day

Today is World Pepero Day. I didn't know till Clarissa and Tika mentioned it on Twitter.

If you're wondering what's Pepero Day, well it's a Korean thing (a-ha! no wonder I didn't know about it) I've never had Pepero, but I've had similar biscuit sticks covered in chocolate and I love them! Over here we have a cheaper version from Thailand called Rocky ;)

15th Singapore HIT Awards

Congratulations to all winners of the 15th Singapore Hit Awards that was held last Friday. The biggest winner of the night is Mayday (yay! =D) who swept a total of 5 awards [for Album Of The Year, Best Band, Popular Group/Band, YES 933FM Pick of the Pops Award - Artiste with Most Chart Hits and Asia Media Award (Band)], followed by S.H.E who won 4 awards.

Leehom picked up the YES 933FM Pick of the Pops Award - Single of the Year for Heart.Beat.

Major Tao in SG

Major Tao's current "DT In Space The Rock And Talk Show" tour is heading down to Singapore on 8 Jan 2010. Previously rumoured to be held at the Expo, the venue has now changed to the Indoor Stadium. Tickets are priced at $178, $148, $128, $88 excluding the usual Sistic charge. Not sure when they will go on public sale as the various FCs are currently taking pre-oders.

And since Major Tao will be in SG to perform at a charity event on 27 Nov, an autograph session will be held on 28 Nov at Orchard Central at 3.30PM. David will be signing copies of his latest studio effort, Opus 69 and concert tickets.

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.
