JAY CHOU MANIA- 10 years and counting

My first encounter with Jay Chou 周杰倫 happened in Toronto, in a small karaoke room 9 (10?) years ago. I was with a group of people singing our hearts out. Suddenly, the ever-so-catchy "Tornado" 龍捲風 song came on. I didn't know who Jay Chou was at that time, but after listening to that song, I soon knew all his songs and sang them at karaoke (or got one of the guys to )!

And finally, I got to see him in concert last night in Hong Kong. It was his last show (he had like 7 to 8 shows this time? Craziness!). Sure, his voice was crackin' a bit at times, but his performance was suberb nonetheless. A-Mei 張惠妹 was the concert guest! WHAT A TREAT!!!  I was catapulted into a storm of memories as they sang popular songs from the 2000s...  One of my favourites from him is 可愛女人 (Cute Gal) but he didn't sing it.  Sooo, I'm gonna post the MTV here :

My HK$900 ticket got me sitting 2 rows behind Janice Man, a colleague of the hot and talented Aarif Lee 李治廷.  Didn't see Aarif though (he's in Malaysia right now attending some awards function. )We also saw Joyce Tang 滕麗名 (my friend bumped into her in the washroom too ). Joyce Tang walked right past us as she was exiting... She is very slim and tall (and beautiful, of course!). Didn't take many photos (was too busy enjoying the show) but here are a few from my crappy camera phone:

I wouldn't mind going to see Jay Chou in concert again!
