Jay Chou & Sydney.

The ticket that costs me $268 T_T And, it's not even like super awesome seats. But SO worth it :)Lunch at Hurricane's, Darling Harbour.Full rack of ribs with fries - half pork, half lamb. Can you believe two of us finished the whole thing? O_oWhen Matthew had his late lunch/early dinner - taken at an Seafood Restaurant at Darling Harbour.Before the concert.

I took heaps of photos and videos, but can't say all were of great quality. He kept on moving and zooming in too much might blur the quality of everything. It's time for a better camera. Care to donate?
南拳媽媽 appeared as special guests during Jay's break - I don't know many songs by these two, except for a song sung by Lara herself. They sang their rendition of Jay's song - 屋頂, which I now like once again :)
千里之外
Some people don't like his 'traditional-inspired' songs. But I think I'm a weirdo, I do! I like 青花瓷 and 菊花殘 among others!
This lucky bastard must have been standing at one of the Partyzone areas. From the angle of it, he/she stood at the side of the middle of the stage (the stage was kind of shaped in the alphabet of a capital I). Great chance to shake his hand and have a very close-up look for the singer himself, but might be hard to see the entire concert performance as a whole.When he arised from underground with the piano <3
He made a great choice, playing the few favourite songs of mine on the piano :)Another lucky bitch :(
Jay's dancing instructor proposed to his girlfriend towards the end of the concert. How touching. In front of 15,000 people and have Jay sing 開不了口 for you. Awwwww... I was close to tears *touched* I can foresee my marriage proposal will be as unromantic as it can be, because I'm unlucky like that.

He changed abit of the original lyrics to fit the special occasion. And mind you, this is not my video so it wasn't me singing at the background. I didn't upload mine because they are way too big so I can't be bothered.

I must say, I wished he did more encores though. After all, it's his first concert in Aus and for one night only, he should have gone all out for the full-house stadium.

Now, I really wished I either bought my tickets much more in advance to get nearer seats to the stage, or just bloody fork out $400+ IF I could be guaranteed good spots. No point paying if you were gonna standing far back throughout the whole night, duh.

Okay, at the end of the concert, Steph & I was expecting to go for supper with Matt. I even asked EwJin to join us in the city when we get there. But.. Matthew changed his mind :( Steph & I wasn't too confident about travelling down by ourselves so supper was cancelled.

It seems like people in Sydney seem to rely heavily on public transport. EVERYONE was queing for train tickets, I think I stood in the cold for nearly an hour. And for some reason, it was friggin cold during my stay there, unlike how Sydney weather is MEANT to be :/ Just when I decided to wear a skirt without stockings too :(

Oh wells.

Next morning, we skipped breakfast and got ready to head to city in time for lunch at Seoul Ria. I managed to get Kevin, a junior of mine in highschool, to just join us and walk us around.
Spicy Fried Chicken.
Hotpot - intestines, tofu, sliced beef and veggie etc. YUM! How come we can't find this 'flavor' in Melb???
The Corner Shop - stocks Philip Lim, Marc Jacobs, Miu miu etc. I really like the presentation of the shop and the brands they stock. Real good stuff, unlike certain fobby shops we all know.. :/
Doesn't the Strand Arcade vaguely reminds you of Melbourne's Royal Arcade at Bourke Street?
We finally were done walking around, so Kevin took us to a place with pretty tea pot displays.
Unlike a typical Japanese place.
Ugh, my cheeks.
Tea and blueberry cheese cake. Yeah, abit random.
Kevin.

EwJin happened to be in the city and dropped by to say hi before he had to run off with his wifey. Would have loved to catch up with him, but still good to at least SEE him briefly after soooo long.
Dinner at Churrasco when Matthew picked us up.
Garden Salad to start with, before all the meat started rolling in.
And the servings began - lamb, chicken, scotch fillet, siu yok, sausages, cheese balls etc.
I obviously had too much - felt like I had enough meat to last me for the rest of my lifetime.
After dinner, he dropped us off at Darling Harbour. He had plans and we gals wanted to find some place to chill. Had drinks at Home Bar, only because the other happening bar looked too good and we felt too underdressed that night for it. Never mind, we'll go there the next round!

Kevin came and joined us for abit and took us for chinese dessert because I had huge cravings. Come on, it's our last night and I didn't feel like drinking. So, WHAT ELSE could we do? Obviously, my period must have been coming. I had mango with shaved ice and sago. AND iced milk tea. And even as I was finishing up, I was eyeing the octopus balls with curry/satay sauce someone was having on the next table.

I had to DRAG myself out of there to avoid ordering it, but god just had to tease me further. Guy queing up next to me bought that and HAD to open his takeaway box for me to SMELL it. Even some guys outside the shop was hungrily eating them. Whyyyyyyyy... Shit, I still want them NOW. If you're wondering why didn't I order it in the first place, it's because I didn't see it in the menu and Kevin said it might no longer be available because he didn't see it on display on the front counter like before.

You can't imagine how much weight I've gained from that short holiday :( No gym can save me now.

Anyway, it was a good trip but I'll say it could have been better. Shall organise a better trip over there next time. Jay Chou? I would definitely go again if I had the chance to (hopefully I wouldn't need to sell my backside to buy his tickets). So, what's next? Ne-Yo? Britney? Please excuse me, as I become a part-time hooker first LOL. So DARN broke right now :(

Oh, I actually fell asleep around midnight. Even dreamt about Jay Chou - yes, he knew my existence and even talked to me. Steph is going to be SO jealous haha. Yeap, that is why I suddenly decided to finish off this draft post. And, by youtube-ing more of his videos, I'm turning myself into a BIGGER fan, crap. Videos of his performances gives me the shivers of joy haha *blush*
