David Tao's Love Can World Tour 2005

met up with Ken, Clarence and Shaun for dinner before heading to the Singapore Indoor Stadium (SIS) for David's concert... only Ken and i are watching David; Clarence and Shaun were watching Rent...

while waiting for the rest at Kallang Theatre, bumped into Jeff (who was there for the afternoon matinee of Rent)...

we had dinner at some porridge place... not too bad food... saw Andy (from Chilling Out) and his friends... waved at him to acknowledge each other...

the concert didn't start until around 8:45pm... 45 minutes late... amazing... reminds me of Chinese wedding dinners... sigh...

SIS was nearly full house... would assume it's 80% to 90% filled...

to be frank, i was not a David Tao fan... i've heard a few of his songs before though not very familiar with them... nevertheless, i was able to enjoy the concert tremendously... a few things worth mention:
1. the band / the backup singers / the mini orchestra had Singaporeans in them... cool eh?
2. the music director for the concert is a Singaporean too...
3. the backup singers can play musical instruments (e.g. guitar, er hu and some other Chinese instruments)...
4. the backup singers had great powers in their voices, to the extent that they outshone David in some occassions...
5. there was a segment of a medley of English rock songs from the 80s... very memorable indeed...
6. there was a cartoon between a tree and a boy... discussing about the environment... thought-provoking...

the family sitting next to me (dad, mum and 2 kids not more than 6 years old) was singing along so harmoniously throughout the concert...

oh... and i nearly cried when he sang "Ai Wo Hai Shi Ta" (Love Me Or Him)... reminded me of someone yet again...

before the concert, there were advertisements on Ah Du and Stefanie Sun's upcoming concerts... Ken was asking if i'm going for any of them... my reply was a definite "No"... hehe...
