Updated: Jacky Cheung ½ Century Tour Concert 2011 (張學友1/2世紀演唱會 – Hong Kong)

April 16, 2011 18 Comments

Jacky Cheung is more than just an cantopop idol. He remains one of the best Heavenly Kings of the 90s. Even today, Jacky is still very much everyone’s “God of Songs”! Many of us grew up listening to his songs. For me, his songs accompanied me for 2 long decades since I was 15!

Shame to admit, this is my first ever Jacky Cheung’s concert and he blew me off with his spectacular performance! Jacky fired up the stage (and yes, he literally did that) with his powerful vocal, his well-choreographed act and his magical “musical performance”! Stunning! Instead of inviting guest stars to his concert, Jacky paid special tribute to the late Lydia Sum. 

This is more like a hybrid of Broadway and pop concert! Hits after hits, Jacky sang continuously for 3 solid hours! (Tonight is the 2nd night of his 20-night concert in Hong Kong!) I can’t believe Jacky is 50 years old this year (that is why he named his concert “½ Century Tour Concert 2011“). With an unbelievable level of stamina and energy, he outclassed all the current princes + princesses of pop! Based on tonight’s performance, there is no doubt Jacky is still the best male singer in Asia.



At the end of his concert and when it was time for “encore”, Jacky gave us not 2, not 5 but over 10 classic hits! It was a great night to remember. It is no wonder why he is named the “God of Songs”. Jacky is indeed legendary. Here is a list of some of the songs he sang tonight: 花花公子, 小姐貴姓, 初吻, 你的名字，我的姓氏, 你是我今生唯一傳奇, 一滴淚, 分手總要在雨天 , 月半灣, 吻別 , 人在雨中, 如果愛, 三分拍 , 李香蘭, 我真的受傷了, 餓狼傳說, 這個冬天不太冷, 每天愛你多一些, 祝福.

(Earlier this Jan, Jacky broke ticket sales record in Singapore and the organiser extended his 2-night concert to 5 nights from 26th – 30th Aug. He will be performing in Singapore Indoor Stadium! Don’t miss it!)

Right after Felicia, Elkan and Jean, Echo was our 4th “Resident” in our new Central apartment. She was in town over the weekend (48 hours to be exact). Living under one roof with these 2 Shanghainese-Singaporean girls wasn’t easy, I was slave to them for 2 days – mentally and physically. Good thing I have Harshad to share the pain.

The Final 7s

March 27, 2011 Leave a comment

Thanks to my impulse bidding for the World’s largest Rugby Ball – I was the top 2 online bidder. Cathay Pacific rewarded me with 2 Three-Day Tickets to the Hong Kong Rugby Sevens Finals. I gave the tickets to my boss (A big tick for one of my KPIs for 2011) and Tracy & Jean. It was such a shame that I couldn’t go to watch the finals on Sunday as I was away in Vietnam for a conference. The girls had so much fun with the hot hunks at the stadium.

It was a drizzling wet day, but it hasn’t dampened the mood of thousands of Rugby Seven’s fans! Crowds were cheering and fans were singing, which made the day not as gloomy as what the sky is. The atmosphere was just bizarre, people sing, cheer and game after game adds on further tension to the finals.

While Japan and Canada was competing for the Bowl Champion, we were cheering loud for Japan. However Canada was a stronger opponent to defeat, leaving the score at 05:19. Not forgetting Japan’s quake tragedy, the commentator also requested for a min of solemnness in the stadium for the victims in Japan. The spirit of Japan remained strong and high despite the lost in the game, God bless them!

Finally, it was England vs New Zealand in the finals! Unknowingly, the section we were at, were huge England supporters. We were asked if we were England fans too, of course we said we were! And they even gave us 2 good seats, since we were standing. The crowd went crazy whenever England gets the ball.

New Zealand wasn’t that bad either, they lead most of the game making the UK supporters pretty upset, they stopped cheering and my Brit neighbors even fell asleep! I guess they were just pretty disappointed after 10min into the game. England’s score was not close enough to its opponent and New Zealand made throughout the fierce battle. Ending the game at a good 29:17.

It was still a great event after all, unlike soccer; rugby seven is a fast paced and exciting game.

Here in Hong Kong, we have just started our movement. We went out this afternoon to rally support from the man-in-the-street and even borrowed some star-power! Check out our star-studded movement. And yes, even Vivian Chow rallied 10,000 concert fans last night to support Ganbatte Nippon!
