The Dragon Rider

Some people asked me why dint I blog about Jay Chou's new album last year when it was released. It is because I dont want to blog about it when I know everyone else is going to blog about the same thing! HAHAHA. So, I was waiting for a chance for me to blog about something different cause I have something DIFFERENT as well!

*let me show off a bit!* haha.



This is the imported version. I remember when I first saw the cover, I was complaining like mad. I hate the cover design to the max. Its so ugly, seriously. I thought, should not the Joker series to be on the cover. That's so much better. Someone sold the original Joker poster to me for RM5 anyways. *_*



But never mind, look what I've got inside. His autograph! Jay's autograph! Muahahaha. That also explained how come I dint blog on time, cause I waited 1 month plus to get this on hand! EHH! Wait, that doesnt mean I was listening to pirated CD before this. I bought the local version and then sold it off! HAHAHAHA.



And today, the postman came to my house calling my name, and gave me this! :D

I was so excited. I load the DVD in my Donut right away. And here, I'm going to feed your eyes with snapshots of each MV from his latest album, Capricorn.


#01 Dragon Rider

He actually spent ALOT of money to produce this MV. It took him 4 months to complete this too! It was premiered on his 30th birthday last Sunday. I think this is his favorite video of all as he can do hell lots of stunts inside. The hero who saved the beauty. HAHAHAHA.








#02 Give Me a Time of a Song

I think this is the best song of the album but his MV is way to common. But do not look down on it. He used his sports car, sang and danced in the rain, spent big bucks just to rent one of the best hotel rooms in Hong Kong just to shoot this MV.




#03 Serpent Dance

To those who think Jay Chou cant dance, watch this video! Hehe. It's really very nice. I love the art direction of this music video. Thumbs up!




#04 Ocean of Flowers

This is not directed by him, himself. This music video is starred by Baron Chen and a girl (I dont know who is she!). Just another love story but it happened in one beauty field of flowers!








#05 Mr. Magician

I like this silly song. The music video is silly too but with a little sexy scenes added. I'm pretty sure a lot of the girls outside hates that few scenes. Haha. Anyways, I cannot remember how much he spent to build the whole set up. Its beautiful, I mean the set as in the place, the stage and the backdrop.










#06 Where is Our Promised Hapiness

This is probably everyone's favorite song from this album but definitely not my favorite music video lor. It is so
sien. Jay just sat at his piano throughout the whole song and the girl was just wandering around. They had no interactions at all *_* But some good points about the video are which the piano scene is breath taking. Damn beautiful with the flowers and everything around. Another is, the girl who led in the music video is really pretty. She's actually an online blog shop's model in Taiwan a.k.a. mini Vivian Chow. I'm not related *_*






#07 Prefaced to Orchard Pavilion

The song is normal. The video is boooooooooooring. Hahaha. Sorry to Mr. Director Vincent Fang. Haha. I cant finish the music video without clicking fast forward. Sorry!






#08 Wandering Poet

I think this duet song, mixture of Chinese and Taiwan's Hokkien is great! I enjoy listening to this song. The video, shoot during his concert's rehearsals, made me burst into laughter when the guitarist of the video appeared. Apparently, he is the retarded cleaner in his movie, Secret and also played hell lots of roles in other music videos of Jay Chou. And did you know, he is actually Jay's personal make up artist! HAHA.








#09 Uncle Joker

Another silly song which shared the same set and concept from the previous music video, Mr. Magician. Haha okay, this one
tak da sexy scenes but has scenes that Jay looked erm, sissy! ;p






#10 Paddy Frangrance

This is the first song and the first video to be aired for the album. I love the scenery in the video. It is prettttttty!








The end!



But wait!!!!! Dint he had 11 songs in this album? What happened to another song of track 9, Time Machine?!?! Where is the video?! Let me check.




THEY DINT INCLUDE THE SONG IN!!! HOW CAN THIS BE?! I wanted to say that Time Machine's video is the best from this album!! The whole video is super cute! The whole thing is Doraemon and Nobita's themed! Preview it here! Yer! Cheating! :( What happened?




Hello, it's not funny okay! Dont give me this face. I want the music video!!!!

Silence

Silence by Jay Chou



As I was listening to this song the other morning at 6.30am, thoughts were flying in and out my mind. The song has never been so close to me.

I remember the first time I heard this song was at Elaine's house. She just ripped the whole album of Jay's Fantasy. She ripped all the songs but not this song. I asked her why and she explained that the song was plain boring. I dont remember whether did I agree with her or not but I remember the next thing I did was that I bought my very first album of Jay Chou. The red album with his signature hoodie around him.

And then I began to falling love with his music. Bit by bit. But it wasnt strong enough to have my mum allowing me to go to his very first concert, Fantasy. I want very disappointed then but I told myself that I must attend the up coming ones. Since then I buy every album of his every year. As for his first album, I dint buy it. It was a give from Dewi 4 or 5 years back on my birthday. And recently, Elaine gave up her Fantasy limited EP edition for me to complete my Jay Chou collection. So sweet :)

And there was something that I dont quite remember but it was Elaine who reminded me. She said I cried during The One's concert at Singapore when he sang this particular song. I could not remember.

Back to that morning, I was revising each and every word that came to my ear from the radio. I wondered, why did they play such emo song early in the morning. It wasnt from my collections of car CDs I swear. As I was listening to what he sang, it somehow pierces through my heart, my thoughts. I held back the tears. Man, I wasnt alone and I dint want to shed early in the morning. It will spoil my day. I never come across a song that was so near to me. I thought Kai Bu Liao Kou and Hei Se You Mou would be closer but no. At least I do no feel something as strong as I was listening to this.

I have always been wondering and fantasizing about someone special would sing something to me and make it special. It never happen. And as I was listening, I put in thought that you were singing it to me. Refering every single word from the lyrics to me. Pointing it to me.

"You want me to say it, but it was awkward. I dont even want a break up..."

And that is why I said sorry yesterday. Sorry. And I dont know what else can I do. I know that feeling within you cannot be concealed by anything. And you cannot like this song by not knowing what it means. You may not relate the song to yourself but at least you should know the song to like the song. You might not bother what am I typing here. You might not even realise this. Or maybe you will think that this is nonsense but not to me.

If only one of the sentence from the song works on you...

"Dont worry too much. I'll be fine."

And this song will never be bore me. There is now a song that reminds me of you except for Qing Tian. That song. And this song now, I dedicate it to myself. All you need to is understand this. You might think that I am an idiot by doing this, plus I know how much you dislike on how much I worship Jay but this is how and what I feel right now.

Spreading Jay-ism part3

And this was what happened after Jay left the stage. Everyone was like, "HUH? No more already?" But onviously, they wanted us to shout for encore. Some of the people from the back of the VVIP corner rushed to the front. Understood. Their actions were totally understood because I might do the same thing too if I were seated behind. Not some actually, a lot of them, mostly young girls ran to the front, in front of me and shouted, "Encore! Encore! Encore!" And I joined them in shouting that, "Encore! Encore! Encore!" Suddenly, I changed my mind, I shouted, "SIT DOWN! SIT DOWN! SIT DOWN!" very very loudly and fierce in Mandarin. Omg. I cant believe I did that. Obviously they were stunned. They stared at me and I continued shouting until all of them squat down in front *_*

I'm not being bitchy but they are seriously blocking everyone. I thought they would sit or squat down after awhile but they dint. They took the place like their territory. Damn selfish right. They were frightened lar. Cindy was too.

And I think they bitched about me. And aunties and uncles behind were praising me! Hahaha because I helped them. Mind them, there were so many elderlies and even a handicap lady behind them. Right after they hide their stupid heads away from our sight, Jay came out!! Hahahahahaha. Was right on time.



#64 Jay Chou came out with a drum set at the left side of the stage. And he was playing... some random music I supposed. Hahaha.



#65 Then left the drum and came to the middle singing his latest song, Zhou Da Xia, the song for his latest movie, Kung Fu Dunk.



#66 Everyone was shouting singing "TOFU! TOFU!" at the chorus part when he offered us the mic, as if lar.

Then the girls went out of control again. Man. Cant they just go back to their seats where they were supposed to be. They should have behave. I went mad again because I could not see Jay, cant take pictures of him. All I can see his heads of people. This time, I could not shout because the music was so loud. I snatched the "bubble stick" or whatever you call it that was given by the sponsor, Munchies and tapped on their heads and shoulder, "Excuse me, can sit down or go back to your places or not? You're like freaking blocking our views." in Chinese.

Some listened and some dint bothered. Fine! Then a few security guards went to them but they were not listening either. Then finally the auntie, friend of the handicap later was so mad and she took the "bubble stick" and whacked them "HELLO. WE NO NEED TO SEE LAR LIKE THAT!" in a very auntie slang of Cantonese. Hahahaha. Then I added, "Serve you right!" I was so mean but I was allowed to be mean for a day because I was wearing the tee with print "LITTLE MISS BAD". Hahahahaha. Lame, I know.

All this happened like in a few minutes lar. They also feel paiseh after they got scolding from the auntie, they should feel paiseh. Then all of them squated down. And there was one uncle who looked at me as if he wanted to fight :(



#66 I think I'll like this picture a lot if it isnt blur. Haha.

And Jay, please stop going to the backstage and change so often. Please. Because when you left the stage again, those people rushed to the front again. This time, the amount of people was uncountable. Even Cindy wanted to stand up because we really cannot see anything at all. See lar these people. The security guards also cannot control.

Even worst when Jay came back to the stage.



#67 I cannot see anything from my spot anymore. I cannot take it anymore and I ran towards the stage. Hahahahaha. Kidding. I went towards the fence before the stage. Jay appeared in a very cool jacket, I like it lor, playing pipa. He played Fa Ru Xue but he dint sing.



#68 And here came my goosebumps. Hehe.



#69 Right infront, I had another attempt of taking a picture 'with' Jay. Obviously, I failed again. I hate taking pictures with flash that will make me ugly. Grrr.



#70 Then another one without the flash this time. We look okay but Jay wasnt focused well. He is the little white human on the stage anyway. Cindy, I think you look good here :) I like the lighting as well.



#71 Oh! He was singing Huo Yuan Jia, the song of the movie, Fearless.



#72 It was quite obvious because he was holding a fan. Hahaha. And I cant remember where he threw the fan to.



#73 He had a nice gold mic too.



#74 And the last song of the night was Shuang Jie Gun :) I cant remember where he threw the prop to, too.



#75 I dont know. Dont ask me.



#76 I really dont know why. Hahahahahaha.



#77 And the last video clip before he left :( Why did you left so quickly? Ish.



#78 We dint had enough of you lar, Jay. Sigh. Nevermind, we shall go to his future concerts again. Hehehahahahhehehaha.



#79 And a picture before we leave the stadium.



#80 Finally, the last picture. The limited Jay figure of the World Tour 2008. The Malaysia Jay doll. Beside this I also bought the landyard. I'm the landyard collecter :)

In short, I had a lot of fun, obviously. This is so because I've got good seats, really. And that Jay was so near to me although I had been nearer to him previously, I still felt that something was lacking during this concert of it. First of all, I dint like the name of the concert. Or was there a name? Hahaha. Why World Tour only one? Ew. Before this his concerts has good names like Fantasy, The One and Incomparable one leh. Why this time dont have a name? Well, if you cant think of one I can help out. Perhaps, "The Busy Concert" Hahahaha.

And also, I think there is a lack of his voice. It wasnt very smooth. Maybe he has sorethroat. Haha.

And I was expecting better guests. Not to say that NQMM isnt good enough but they were always with him in concerts. Enough already.

And I was also expecting remixed songs like he previously did to Di Tian and Ba Wo Hui Lai Le. It was damn good. Hahahaha.

And I was also also expecting him to sing Wo Bu Pei and An Hao.

And I was also also also expecting to fetch something he threw from the stage. Ahahahahaha.




And that's all for his World Tour 2008 at Malaysia :) WEEEEEEEEE!

Spreading Jay-ism part2

And continuing from the post yesterday :)



#30 He came out appearing in this very very handsome outfit. Haha. A very Chinese oriental feel. And he came out singing Qian Li Zhi Wai. I was expecting Fei Yu Qing to suddenly pop out in the stage. Hahahaha.



#31 I'm sorry Jay. I dont mean it. You look cute :)



#32 Memang ada feel.



#33 Then he continued by singing Qing Hua Qi. Damn nice.



#34 Fireworks. Fireworks. And most of them frightened me, maybe because I was near to it. And the fireworks of that night costed about RM3.3 million.



#35 And that's my hand, snapping pictures of Jay.



#36 One of my favourite picture.



#37 Then he sang Ben Cao Gang Mu. He danced :)



#38 Together with Dan Tou from NQMM.



#39 This is a precious shot because he posed the same as the cover of his World Tour 2007 concert's DVD :) The "shhhhh" pose. I wished it was a close up though.



#40 Then he played with the "che ling". I'm not sure what is it called in English. I was paying attention to him and suddenly he threw the "stick" towards my direction. OMG. I stunned and was slow to react. Cindy was fast, she put down her camera and try to fetch BUT the thing was too light and landed on the lady sitting RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME. ARGH! Heartache. I dont think she wants it as bad as I do. Lucky lady. I wanna sit second row already next time :(

After that he went backstage to change, AGAIN!



#41 Then his special guests came on stage. It was NQMM. And this is Dan Tou :) He kept looking into my camera. Yay.



#42 This is Lara Veronim. Ther very very pretty mixed girl who has a very sharp and squuueeeeky voice, whatever you call it. But she's so sweet.



#43 They sang 3 songs of theirs. Xiang Nan Hai O, What Can I Do and Xiao Zhe Liu Lei.



#44 After that, they left and the stage was empty.



#45 And here came two dancers who were doing very intimate dances. The girl exposed her panty a lot until the old women and men infront of me shook their heads non stop. Haha. Cindy, "GET A ROOM!"



#46 Once they finished their dance, Jay appeared in a new outfit plus a tongkat. He was singing Ye De Di Qi Zhang. NICE :) And why is the dancer looking into my camera not Jay?



#47 Dan Tou rapped with him in the same song. And he looked into my camera again :) This is not taken from the giant screen ah.



#48 Later, he went to the right side of the stage. Lucky he was there or not I'll die of anger BECAUSE GOT 2 SEXY BUT UGLY GIRLS KEPT TOUCHING HIM :( And the song he was singing is totally not matching with that situation. He was singing Ye Qu. I thought it was supposed to be a sad one :( But I like this picture though. Nice lighting effects.



#49 And this is what I found from the forum. YOU SEE THEY GO RABA RABA HIM!!!!



#50 Okie. He came back to me :) And was singing Mi Tie Xiang. In the Tokyo's concert, his grandma went on stage to dance while he was singing this. Why dint she show up here? :(



#51 Instead of his grandma, he had 4 hot girls dancing around him. If I were that girl, I can smile wider than her :D Hahahaha.

Then he went backstage AGAIN.



#52 And came out with a guitar, the unplugged is here! Anyway, this is not Jay. Its Zhang Jie from NQMM who I inisist, insist that Yu Yang looks like him. Really!



#53 Jay and the guitar. They were talking and talking. And Jay asked Zhang Jie to sing a re-composed song of his, Ren Zhe. Zhang Jie, "There is a song that I think you dint transmit it well....." Jay, "Beware. Later they'll throw the neon light sticks to you!" Hahahahaha. The re-composed was an OK only. Haha.



#54 Then then then then Jay sang a song by Theresa Teng, Ni Zhe Me Shuo. It made me drunk AGAIN. He said that it was a spontaneous song. Ah!



#55 A video of him singing it. Sorry for my screamings. Hahaha.



#56 At the same time, everyone on stage was sitting down except for this little poor Dan Tou. Hehe. I thought this is a nice shot though :)



#57 And I tried taking picture 'with' Jay, but it was an ugly attempt :( He was singing his cute version of Shuang Jie Gun anyway.



#58 My BFF, Cindy and I with the neon stick I bought few days before the concert ;p



#59 And this is how close I was to the stage and Jay. And that's the little girl and the lady, the mum who got the stick of the che ling :(



#60 The next song he sang was Cai Hong.



#61 And Kai Bu Liao Kou. Totally drunk.



#62 Nice kan? I dont know why the lightings' effect turned out to be so cool also.



#63 Then right, before this picture was taken, Jay asked everyone to stand up properly so that he can sing his next song, Yang Guang Zai Nan. Everyone was so high, jumping here and there and I cannot take pictures of him already. I short mar, everyone from the back went to the front and blocked my view. Hahaha. Right after the song, there was confetti like in the picture, and he left the stage lor :(



Later, something happened to the 'drunk' me. Hahaha. And I will tell you the stupid story in the next post lar :) Wait for me to come back tomorrow.
