Delirium Part 1

As expected, the Mayday concert was nothing short of fantastic (and heart attack-inducing) because we were just centimetres away from them when they ran up and down the runway (more on that in another post when pictures from last night are all sorted out).

Would like to highlight a part of the concert that was unexpected and touching. It was when Stone (the guitarist) sang a song he wrote for his one-year-old son. It was just the keyboard, his guitar, his voice and a lot of heart. I don't know why but there's something about a sweet rocker dad that makes me go all soft. Listen to the song here.

《咿呀呀》
词曲:石头 (五月天)

呀 咿呀呀 咿呀呀
宝贝说的话 咿呀呀
不要担心 你很快就长大 很快你就会叫妈妈

转眼你已经一岁了
宝贝还不会弹吉他
相信有一天 你也会大声唱哥哥爸爸真伟大

你的微笑是魔法 你的眼泪是我的慌张
你会有烦恼 也会有悲伤 有我在这里别怕

呀 咿呀呀 咿呀呀
宝贝说的话 咿呀呀
我会担心 你很快就长大 很快就不会找爸爸

你会爱上你的她 你会拥有也会失去啊
未来的路很远很漫长 心痛的伤就让它去吧

你的微笑是魔法 你的眼泪是我的慌张
你会有烦恼 也会有悲伤 有我在这里别怕
未来的路很远很漫长 有我在这里别怕

On another note, it was during this song when one of the ushers came down and told us to sit down and that we could only stand if the others were standing too.

*mouth agape, utterly wtf-are-you-talking-about speechless*

It's that time of the month again...

when I feel especialy worn out and jaded. (Deadlines, not PMS.)

The silver lining on the cloud is the Mayday concert this Saturday. We've got front-row tickets, people. FRONT ROW. That means we'll be the first to grab a piece of Ashin if he jumps off the stage. Rip his shirt, ruffle his sweaty hair, beg him to marry us or -fingers crossed - pull him in for a hug and a picture! =))))))))))))))

Yep, so thinking of the concert makes this week just that little bit more bearable. Work expectations can really be crushing. It's going to be 1 year on the job on 7th May. Haven't been an A-grade performer, but neither have I dropped the ball. Yet. A friend said I should try, just for the heck of it. Haven't quite worked up the guts for it. Hur hur.
