Dream
As i type this, few hundreds like me sit patiently and subduedly excited, eagerly anticipating the curtains to be drawn up for the ultimate musical experience,雪.狼.湖. Snow. Wolf. Lake. that is. The ticket costs me 230 bucks but even without watching a minute of the show, I felt it was already my money's worth. To see Jacky Cheung 张学友 perform live has always been and will always be my priority.
The first time I hear him sing live was at a packed West Mall where I waited near 4 hours to get his autograph. 讲你知 blew me away that day and no words can really express my admiration for his precocious vocal talent. To meet the man himself and shake his hand was just amazing.
Fast forward a year later and I'm here, seated in the Singapore Indoor Stadium with this laptop. God knows why I bring my laptop into the musical. I peered through the crowd and I know I'm in good company, no youngsters or fuckers that worship motherfucker idols. It was a good, mature crowd that pay good money to support good music and good performance.
I felt uncomfortable with the songs done in chinese as they were originally pure cantonese songs. 许慧欣 and 陈忪伶 impressed me with really decent performances and the group dance segments were all pleasing to the eye. I am inspired. I truly am. To do a musical, to sing and dance and have fun on the big stage.
When 爱是永恒 played, tears welled up my eyes like how those motherfuckers cry when they hear Jay Chou or 5566 fuckers do their concerts. I was just so proud to be there at the concert to watch the performance, I would be proud to be once of the dancers or to just work with him.
A grand standing ovation was reserved for Jacky in the end, I was cheering and shouting like an idiot and clapping as hard as I could. Because he inspired me. Because I feel the emotions, the glory, the appreciation of the audience with sincerity and adoration at its maximum. He made me felt that you can make so many people happy and yourself happy at the same time. I still feel like crying. I shouted '加油，学友！'deep in my heart.

You may say that the role of 胡狼 is a stupid one (and true, as written, it's a stupid character - but tough to perform), but I think given the chance, you'd kill to play that part, wouldn't you?
i failed to mention to you that i teared too when he sang 爱是永恒 (both times). it's such a lovely song...
if u enjoyed the cheering at the end, you definitely must go watch his future solo concerts. now, that's when u will feel most exhilarated and inspired!
and please do not say i am not a true fan k. i will feel insulted.
and to those who dunno this: 学友 can really dance!
i went for the concert as well.. the sat one.. it ws great.. and like what u said.. money worth spend.. though i din get the most ex tics.. i was equally touched as well when he sang 爱是永恒.
