5566 CONCERT

so..it's been like FIVE whole days!My original post about this got accidentally deleted or something, and anyway there was an error in the publication of that post. BLEHsss. How very sad!!okay so i shall begin from 5pm, Saturday, 17 December 2005.My maid and I were rushing like mad to change, pack up, etc... I had a huge problem. hmphs I couldn't decide whether I should wear jeans or a skirt. In the end I decided on my favourite OP skirt.SIX-THIRTY pm. We eagerly eagerly suuuuper-eagerly left the house to fetch leng and her sister. EXCITEMENT. WHOOSH~ It was a concert. It was THE concert. It was THE 5566 ONE WORLD ONE DREAM CONCERT 2005. *dances around madly*Yup dad dropped us at the bus stop, which was a bit far from the MaxPavilion, so I bought my dinner at burger king before we split up and went to the concert at different times (i went with leng and her sis). When we went into the concert hall we had no choice but to DUMP our drinks into the trash can (I kept mine well-hidden in my bag though) because food and drinks were strictly NOT allowed. hmph. We each bought a pai pai, which is basically just a luminous-green double-sided clapper in the shape of a hand. We were supposed to clap them during the concert. YAY we sat on the eighth row from the stage, which was considerably near...Then we waited. By the way I was busy admiring the 5566 wristband i'd bought earlier on. And waited. while listening to madonna's songs being played in the hall. AND then...The lights DIMMED. The place DARKERNED. And FLASHING on the screen were pictures of African animals and the words "No matter who you are, no matter what language you speak, no matter what the colour of your skin is, we all have the same dreams." or something like that. WORLD PEACE, baybeh! It was super cool, and everyone was screaming away even though 5566 hadn't appeared yet. Too much excitement. I almost made the woman in front of me deaf! The concert was very nice! We went on a three-and-a-half hour journey around the world, visiting various continents- Africa, Europe, America, Oceania, Asia. (oceania isn't a continent, is it?) The first stop was Africa, and to kick off the concert with a huge BANG they started with Yi Qi Mao Xian, and some others like Zen Yang and Shen Hua, wearing what looked like leopard skin suits. Next stop- Europe and America. 5566 sang more of those songs which were largely influenced by western culture, like Crying in the Rain, Wa Sha Mi, etc. OH YESH they did this incredibly fast hat-passing feat while singing Zhui Gan Pao Tiao Peng! PRO!!In addition to the continents thingy, they acted out this funny scene which involved characters from 5566's chinese dramas meeting together and arguing... There was DJ from MVP Qing Ren, You Ya Yu from Westside Story, Wei Ying Qi from Mr Fighting and Xu Ziqian from Wang Zi Bian Qing Wa (the frog show).The four of them had different talents and were competing to see who was the best of all of them. Then DANG-OH the big cute frog appeared and sang his crazy froggy song!! 7 Flowers made their appearance too, along with Tai Ji (they were dancing with 5566)! WEI RU and TAI RONG! HALO!Back to the continents. Second-last was Oceania, the most erm, peaceful of them all. They sang those more sentimental songs like Shi Jie Zui Mei De Feng Jing (OMG MY FAVOURITE SONG!) while taking pictures of themselves with Polaroids and flinging the photos to the screaming fans. HMPH one photo actually flew over my big head. Last continent- ASIA. Big, grand Asia. They sang all the cool cool songs like Tong Yi Ge Shi Jie (the theme song, which means One World One Dream), Easy Come Easy Go and many others. There was even an ENCORE session where a video of XIAO DAO (ah our long-lost 5566 guy) egging us on to shout "ENCORE ENCORE", then 5566 appeared again and sang many of their older and more sentimental songs, most of which were from the First Album. The wonderful concert ended with Hao Jiu Bu Jian and a little birthday celebration for Shaowei (whose bdae was the next day) and i screamed so sooo loud. my screams are pretty ear-piercing. SO. THE MOST FUN PART OF THE CONCERT?--> 5566 speaking in different foreign languages! Mengzhe spoke Korean (very well), Xiezhi spoke Thai (very cutely), SHAOWEI spoke Malay (but quit halfway while drinking a glass of wine) and Renfu spoke FRENCH. FRENCH!! He kept saying "J'aime le double sinc double SIX", enunciating every word verrry clearly and it was so so humorous that all the fans were laughing. WELL DONE 5566! The concert RAWKED! It RAWKED lots! i hope i can go next year!!! until then... see ya, 5566.
