MayDay concert | 11:50 PM
后青春期的诗
I enjoy good music and this latest album by mayday to me, is good music.
Usually an album will only have 1 or 2 nice songs, which happen to be those that you will hear from radio , people ringtone or "KTV-goer" like me , whom will choose these songs to sing. Unfortunately, after you have bought those albums, you will realise that the rest of the songs are not that fantastic after all. But since you paid for it, i guess you have to tell yourself it is a nice album after all.
As for 后青春期的诗, it's through the recommendation of my friend and after hearing it online, they have a number of nice and decent songs that caught my ears. Most importantly, I thought that the album was produced with much sincerity from reading their lyrics,and as if all the songs sound like their 主打歌. Afterall, it's Mayday right, they do deliver standard in their music.
And yesterday, all thanks to Peirong (My 师父back in CS) and Karen (neighbour back in CS), I was blessed with a free ticket for Mayday 新歌飘唱会. What make me feel even blessed was that I was spared from the long queue and yet get a very good spot to indulge in the performance. Judging from my photos below, you should be able to tell how "close" I am....
The audience were hyped up by the spectacular performance by the band and the atmosphere was set HIGH with a combination of their vocal, instrumental performance, cheering and gimmicks to engage the audience. Though I can't help to laugh at ah xin squeaky sound when thanking the sponsors in english, his vocal is powerful man. When everyone in the audience seems "ga-ga" over the band, i think i am one of the few people that seem rather composed in watching the performance. haha....
After that we went for supper at this place called "xin hai shan". According to peirong, mayday will be there for supper and indeed ,they went after the concert. Suddenly i feel like I am a paparazzi for a day. They are just sitting 2 tables away from our table and suddenly this experience seems so surreal. But when you are hungry, who really care about the celebrity right...haha....just makan lah!
When I took a glance over to their table, most of them from the band to the crews are indulging in beer or wine. But for ah xin, he only consumed lime juice or is it lemon honey (something yellow). According to Peirong, ahxin dont drink and smoke. So probably if you want a voice like his, abstain from alcohol and drink MORe lime-juice or lemon honey (something yellow!!!), especially after your singing session.

Mayday coming for concert in August. The price is deterring me to go. but for the sake of their superb performance, its worth being there the 2nd time.
