When news first broke out that the 2 Asia's biggest groups are holding their concert on tiny Singapore on the same day, I thought tickets sales won't be good for both.
After all, on a typical Saturday evening, only 1 concert (8000-strong) can be accommodated within the small market of Singapore, which is further divided into regional pop followers and international pop followers.
But both concerts sold very well. For the first time, S.H.E's concert (8000-plus strong) was sold out MORE than a month ago. At the same time, Mayday's concert (15000-plus strong) was 90% booked. More than 20000 people will throng Kallang area, where the 2 separate concerts are conveniently held.
1. DNA Mayday World Tour, begins at 7:30pm at National Stadium. BLUE lightsticks.
2. S.H.E is the One--World Tour, begins at 8:00pm at Indoor Stadium. RED lightsticks.

Chyork's Noob Productions has a 2nd attempt at producing a video. The video this time, was for a module. I had fun thinking of the possibilities and realising them. I never thought 自编自导自演 could be so exciting. We had fun filming too!
Really, making videos is fun and not that difficult!

I blogged about this week's The Amazing Race (Season 16) Episode in a Spoiler Entry HERE two months ago. So most 'sightings' from the global The Amazing Race 'detectives' were accurate.
If you haven't caught it yet, and do not want more spoilers below, just click on THIS LINK and close this browser.

8 years have passed since the world-renowned and award-winning series dropped by Singapore, and as what the producers said, the city has transformed so much from the last time they came, that it was 'almost like visiting a new city'.
Compared to the places they visited and the boring tasks they did the last time (back in Season 3), I'm glad it was much more exciting this time round! Kudos to the Singapore Tourism Board, which worked closely with the production team when they were here last December.
Well, let's just have a recap on Season 3:
a) Arrived at Tanjong Pagar Railway Station
b) Went to the National Orchid Garden.
c) The Detour task was either at
........i) Choa Chu Kang flats (to search for PCK) OR
........ii) Singapore Zoo (to search for Manatee).
d) Went to the Fountain of Wealth
e) Pitstop at Mount Faber, greeted by ex-Miss Singapore Universe Jaime Teo.
Here's the more exciting one in Season 16:
a) Arrived at Tanjong Pagar Railway Station
b) Went to Victoria Concert Hall
c) Teams can fight for "Fast Forward", where they were required to come out of the highest capsule on the Singapore Flyer and crawl over to the next.
d) Other teams had to complete the Detour task, either at
........i) Speaker's Corner (to perform with a lion dance troupe) OR
........ii) Rochor Road (to sell 25 Singapore-style ice-cream sandwiches)
e) Went to Istana Park
f) Went to ASL Shipyard for Roadblock task -- Count the number of links in a anchor chain
g) Went to Sentosa Megazip Adventure Park -- Zip down to the little offshore islet
h) Pitstop at Marina Barrage, greeted by a 'Singapore Girl' in SIA uniform.
It's pretty cool having the ONLY FastForward in this leg of the race in Singapore, and much cooler to have the authorities permit such a cool task at the top of Singapore Flyer. Even the producers of the show were surprised at the ease of getting it approved!
Many times in the show, the cameras were strategically placed to capture the new skyline around the city area, showing both the Marina Sands IR and Singapore Flyer, both of which were obviously not built 8 years ago. And when they entered Sentosa, the cameras just had to capture the tagline "Sentosa--Asia's Favourite Playground" a few times. I can see STB responsibly playing it's part here. The choice of Marina Barrage as the pitstop was strategic too - as the background was conveniently the city's new skyline in the Marina Bay.
I enjoyed this episode, not just for the familiar sights, but also for the realistic competition between the lesbians and the models. (Their enmity started right from Episode 1). The 'U-turn' was interesting as the models really took it against the lesbians. At the same time, the detectives were really good plotters - knowing for sure that the lesbians would definitely be U-turned and not themselves, who were strong contenders themselves.
3 more episodes to the Finale, and most of the 4 teams that are left standing had got their fair share of being 1st in the individual legs. I'm hoping to see a showdown between the cowboys and the detectives.

今天是我们的扫墓日。
起了一个大早，（其实也不是很早啦），观看了一小时的 “日本时间”（Japan Hour）后，便匆匆赶去上日语课。
之后又匆匆赶回东部，与家人会合。然后又匆匆把车开去中部，与亲戚会合。又匆匆把车驾到遥远的西部扫墓去。
匆匆来，匆匆去。就这样，折腾了大半天。咦？不对不对，绝对不能说是折腾。清明时节去扫墓，是我们华人一个优良的传统。是有必要传承下去的。毕竟，政府强制挖掘墓地，也是迟早的事。
*************************
原来，SundayEleven 节目即将停播了。4月25日，星期天，晚上10时~12时，将在UFM1003播出最后一集。
唉，真是有点小失落。这个优质的节目，从开台至今，从没间断过。一做就做了8、9年！我也默默地支持了好久，当然也从中赢得了不少CD！（似乎有6、7张。真是有点不好意思！）
陪伴了我无数个星期天晚上的SundayEleven，是个独树一帜的好节目。从节目中，我听到了多种元素的音乐：BossaNova、Jazz、Indie、Country等。当然，每当一场演唱会结束后，我也很期待DJ珂宁在节目中分享精华。她所介绍的中英文专辑 和‘冷’音乐，我也非常喜欢。
虽然不是晴天霹雳，但也真的蛮讶异的。以后的星期天夜晚，该如何呢？
-自去年起，933少了星期六晚上的DJ杰奇。周六夜晚已变了样。
-下个月起，连星期天晚上也少了DJ珂宁，也会变了样。悲！
有时，一尘不变，真的未必不好。
