I feel like a lucky girl... In one week, I got to attend two big concerts... and best of all, both for free!
On Sunday, I got to see the Jacky Cheung concert again for the second time. It was the same tour as the concert I attended back in August, which I had blogged about here. This time it was held in a large outdoor venue, and our seats were a little better. The only thing was that it was outdoors on one of the few icy-cold evenings in HK, so our little group Raffi, Stephen, Boon, Kit, Phat, Tung Tung and I were sitting out there freezing our butts off for 3 hours... but it was worth it, at least for me... His voice was amazing, and I loved listening to all his old classics from the 80's & 90's. Thanks to Raffi, who had an extra free ticket and invited me. I just couldn't pass up the opportunity to see Jacky live, again, for free!
Then last night, I got to attend the My Chemical Romance concert cuz I won a contest. (Thanks, Beats Mag!) I was pretty happy cuz I NEVER win anything, much less anything this cool! I met up with Stephen, Patrick, Duc and some other folks who also planned on going, and we got to be in the same standing section in the front. I'm pretty new to their music, but I really enjoyed the concert and actually knew about 4 songs.
I was actually in Hong Kong when Jacky Cheung held a concert in Toronto. My friend attended the concert and told me how bad the concert. He seemed to have spent most of his time to talking about his wife and kids more than actual singing.
You are a lucky girl Ivy! Didn't you see Jacky not so long ago? He's got an awesome voice. MCR is pretty good too. I was first intrigued by them when they cited The Cure as one of their influences.
Very enviable concert. I wish Jacky could come to England and hold a concert.
Not really heard much of Chemical Romance, but I like 'I don't love you', I should pay more attention to the charts.
Sweet! Sounds like a good time. I guess I cannot complain since I've been seeing a lot of cool live shows here in small venues. Sure, they may not have the following of MCR, but a show's a show!
hoho, I recorded that song~~ it was really a hard time for us, My friend and I stood in the second row and surrounded by a group of MCR groupiest. They kept pushing us all the time. T_T But I still enjoyed the show very much!!!!!!!
MCR - cool
my girl went to see them in December (she managed to talk my mother and my sister into flying her up to Auckland for the concert for her birthday/christmas present). She absolutely loved the concert. So cool that you won the ticket and that you enjoyed it =)

My passion for photography began as a hobby with my many travels around the world. I became heavily inspired while living in exciting and photogenic New York City. I'm now finding plenty of inspiration living in Hong Kong and traveling all around Asia. Currently a freelance photographer, I like using a natural, candid approach for my photography. And if you look through my photos, I'm sure you'll be able to tell that I love black & white photos!
Born in New York but grew up in California, I moved back to NYC several years ago and completely fell in love with the city again. Sadly, I had to leave after two years, but I moved out to Hong Kong in 2005 and am having a blast here.
