"Singing I~~~ Can't~~ Get~~ Enough~~~"
Sunday, 14 August 2011 21:26aka, Suede Live in Hong Kong 2011
So we went to Hong Kong for the Suede Live. It was great!
The song lineup was good. I think there were only 3 songs I didn't know of. I did manage to enjoy myself and dance/jump to the tunes. I'm surprised I enjoyed it, I usually dislike places packed with people.
The only thing I didn't like were the following:
- Standing Concerts. People are just sweaty. And they stink. Sorry, but yes, they stink. It's summer, they are sweaty, and they stink. Yet, they still lift up their arms. It's suffocating.
- People pushing up at me. This girl next to me kept pushing me. I stood my ground. I had to use a lot of willpower to stay put and not let her get my place. Not bad for a first standing concert, I'd say!
- The girls behind me used me as a tripod. I don't know them. They actually placed their elbows on my shoulders and then their camera hand on my head. I didn't want to cause a scene, so I shook a lot. You know, for short haired people, any little movement over your head is really itchy, so I just shook my head at any little sensation of a hand or a camera strap over my head.
I bought a Suede T-shirt! They also had a lot of Suede CDs selling quite cheap, with a free poster, but after a lot of thought, I skipped that. I think it was a wise decision too. If I brought the poster in with me, it would have been crumpled anyway... so... all I got was the T-shirt and I took a guitar-pick-flyer for the concert.
After the concert, we went back to Central in Hong Kong Island and dropped by at Lan Kwai Fong. I originally had a beautiful vision of chilling with a nice German beer... but we were dead tired by then, and Lan Kwai Fong was just PACKED with people (see above, my mass-people-phobia) so... we just went to a Kebab eatery, had some dinner and went back to our hotel.
We returned to the hotel (we stayed at the WiFi Boutique Hotel. Tiny place, but served its purpose). I think the room was haunted though. My friend saw a black shadow in the mirror, and the little flower attachments on the zipper of my Marc Jacobs Daisy mini make-up back just broke off when it was lying on the bed the entire time. It was lying on the bed, and when I took it, the flowers fell off, just like that. Those little flowers are chained onto the zipper, too. Anyway!
The following day was shopping day!!!
A friend of mine highly recommended this Nintendo DS game, Noora to Tokino kouhou (or something like that). Its like those Atelier games (I think, I never played any of them), and it's just too hard.... I'm lost... the game is progressing, yes, but I have no idea what is happening. The game also cost an arm an a leg, but I think it's a first pressing edition, as it came with that Premium set thingie.
I also bought a new pair of sneakers... the Sketchers Shape-ups! I was originally torn between a Reebok (I think it's this pair, it's black with a hint of silver patterns all over) and this pair of Sketchers... after trying them out, I went for the Sketchers and I changed the shoe-laces, I think it looks more striking with those shoelaces (my photo above).
I wore the Sketchers for the rest of my trip in Hong Kong, and then on Saturday as well and today as I sat in the car I felt a slight muscle cramp/burn in the tummy area and my back. I think... these shoes really work!
We were in the baking section of a supermarket and I saw bone-shaped cookie cutters! I was happy, as I was searching for these for 2 years or so already, so I bought them! Later that day, in a bookshop, I found that doggie snacks recipe book that came with a bone-shaped cookie cutter (damn it!). Whatever.
At HMV, I saw a couple of DVDs on sale. I'm not sure if I've watched From Hell already or not, but well, you can't go wrong with Johnny Depp XD I was tempted to get Libertine as well, but I think I've watched Libertine already. I also managed to score おくりびと Departures on a real original DVD (I got a bootleg version for China the other time), so now, I've done my repentance, I got the original. Don't sue me now. Tokyo Tower and My Girlfriend is an Otaku were bought on a whim.
I think, as all DVDs go, I'm just going to put them on the shelf and tell myself "Now, I've got these, I could watch them any time I want" and maybe 10 years later I haven't watched them yet. Go figure, yes that's me.
I will have some more stuff to write about the next few days, so stay tuned :D
