CNY Reunion Dinner With Adam Cheng
Thursday, February 10, 2005
After spending a few days away from home, I began to miss home. We were supposed to be home after lunch today, but decided to drop by and my grandparents'. We ended up spending almost the entire afternoon there - which was great (*$-$*, you know what I'm talking about!). My lil cousins were there - they're the most adorable toddlers I've ever seen! The elder one is in kindergarten already - she is smart, very bright, very cute, is not afraid of other people, quiet when she's supposed to, but speaks all the right things when someone asks (sometimes I think she has quite a matured mentality!). Grrr *geram*.
I was having a dinner in Genting, with performances by Adam Cheng (Cheng Siu Chow - é„少秋), the guy who acted in numerous TVB series for decades. He sang, danced, played the piano, and joked pretty well - very, very entertaining, if you ask me. Despite the old songs, watching him sang live was really something different - I enjoyed his performance thoroughly! Mom said that the show would be incomplete without him singing the song from one of his most popular drama series, Chor Lau Heong. I managed to take some photos - Pardon me for the poor photography. ;p
This was the view from our table - The only obvious image of him in the picture is on the backdrop ;p He hadn't walked up stage yet!
There, two giant screens at both sides of the stage. A young woman walked up to the stage and gave him some prezzie :D Throughout the show, quite a number of fans had actually gone up stage to give him presents and flowers - Most of them requested for a photoshoot.
Tried to zoom in on him - Check out the white suit! Sweeet!
This pic was taken when he walked off stage and shook hands with the audience - while belting out a song. If you've watched HK concerts before, you should be familiar with such a practice.
Adam was talking to his audience during one of the intervals. This guy, I tell ya, he was an all-rounder lah. I've watched some of his dramas before - many many years back when I was younger. Little did I know that he could also sing and dance.

During one of his songs, he invited a decent, good lookin' young lady up on stage to accompany him. It was Unchained Melody, the English love theme from "Ghost" - and boy his rendition was AWESOME! The tune... the lyric... the invitee (*ahem*)... the feel... It was just great lah.
I managed to record about 10MB of Adam singing Chor Lau Heong (the last, most anticipated song of the night) - the video is available for 7 days (or expires after 25 downloads) on yousendit.com servers. Here's the file - for those who're interested! :)
Happy Chinese New Year, everyone!
