My FM 11th Birthday Bash (myfm 星光11齐天外传 ) at Arena of Stars - 15 July 2009

This is the first time I've attended My Fm's Anniversary bash. In the past, I've never been bothered to join in the mad rush for the tickets but I'm making an exception this year because of FAMA. I reached Genting around 9.30 am. There was already a very long queue. Tempers flared coz some wanted to jump queue and all. Redemption is supposed to start at 12 noon. Luckily, I still managed to get tickets with seats. Those not so lucky ones ended-up with free standing tickets. Contrary to news reports and calls from My FM audience praising the show, I beg to differ. Many actually left the show half-way thru'. Jack Lim (who was in-charged of producing the show) and his team tried too hard to impress the audience. They squeezed-in too many "wow" factors into the show. They have actions(kung fu), stunts (motorcycle zooming down from the staircase),3D sound effect, very hi-tech (I think it's LED) screens, magic tricks, awareness and raising fund for the handicapped and not forgetting,"Journey to the West" storyline but too much of a good thing only serves to spoil the show,if not carefully executed. It's so out of place and just doesn't go with the flow. First of all, the make-up and costumes were downright ugly (okay, I can still stomach that) and the plot of "Journey to the West" ? The jokes were lame and storyline was downright shallow. Conclusion- it's damn BORING and the dee jays made a fool of themselves with their very "lan" gag. The saving grace of the night were of course, the singers themselves. Fama (农夫), Chin from Thailand, Tank, Claire (郭静), Victor Wong (品冠), Nicholas Teo (张栋梁), Suki (刘俗仪), Karen (龚柯允), Andrew Tan (陈势安), Hins Cheung, and Min ( Astro Star Quest 2009 champion). Everyone of them put up a great show ! Claire's songs were really pleasing to the ears and she looks even more attractive and kawai now compared to before.

FAMA 農夫大馬宣传行程 -農夫《富甲天下》簽唱會 - July 2009

My first encounter with FAMA was during Miriam's concert in March 09. A lot of my friends were suprised that I went to Miriam's concert, just to watch FAMA (the guest singer)instead of the main act. I remembered asking FAMA then whether they'll be coming to Malaysia again for album promotion and they said that chances are not high. 5 months down the road and what do you know ?! FAMA is back in Malaysia again, this time to promote "富甲天下" (the local version includes some of their hit songs from their past albums). Needless to say, I was more than estactic to see my fave rappers, C Kwan and 6 Wing, in action. These two wacky guys are not only talented but are blessed with the gift of the gap, too ! In addition,I must add, C Kwan and 6 Wing are extremely nice and humble in person. When it was my turn to get their autograph, I was taken aback when 6 Wing pointed at me and said he still remembered who I am ! Later,I bumped into them again several times at the hotel lobby, they actually greeted me by my name ! Such good memories they have ! Hats off to the organizers of FAMA's promo trip. Everything was very well organized and most important of all, they didn't set lots of restrictions during the autograph session. Fans were free to chat and take pixs with FAMA. This really helped boost the exposure level and hopefully, helped them gained more supporters. From my observation, this trip is a huge success for FAMA....great comments from the media and during their live performances, the audience around me were giving out very positive comments. Go Fama! 農夫, 我撐你地 ! 加油! Songs performed during their "富甲天下" showcase, MyFM anniversary and "So Nice Music" fest at IOI mall Red Box are :- 富甲天下 話太普通 歡天喜地 風生水起

Moonlight Resonance Promotion (Moses Chan and Susanna Kwan) 家好月圆造势活动～槟城 - 陈豪、关菊英 - Farlim, Sunshine Square - 2 August,2009

The event started real early, at about 10.30 am. The turnout was stronger that the nite before but fans were less enthusiastic. Too early perhaps. Lucky thing, Astro decided to engage Jensen (emcee) for today's functions. As usual, Ah Mo and Kuk Cheh talked about their respective roles in "Moonlight Resonance", urging everyone to catch the series when Astro airs it over at Wah Lai Toi channel. They had 2 rounds of games with the fans - the first segment is charade, followed by bursting ballons which should be scrapped coz there wasn't much interaction with the artistes. I've decided to skip the last event. I'm too dead tired to continue my stalking mission.
