Ambrose oh Ambrose oh Ambrose
I am back from my little adventure to see Ambrose Hsu Shao Yang and Joelle Lu Ming Jun with Laura (new partner in crime). Not overly having giddy and bubbly feeling. But let me just tell you about my story.
Got there around 4.30, and already there's a short line forming in front of the ballroom,not very crowded, met someone I know there. Around 445 they started to let people in. My camera couldn't get in. Darn those people from some FC they really checked my bag very thorough!HIkz...so I left both my cameras with Laura (she waited outside for a chance to get inside later on). So went inside, trying to get a good seating on the floor. The MC were 2 radio personalities from Cakrawala (local mandarin station): Rudy Xiao Wei and this woman I have no idea. They both pretty good, not cheesy and all (compared to last night's Sang Bintang hosts). Around 5.10 they started the show by showing some previews for the upcoming new taiwan series. They were Mi Jia Le Zhi Weu (Energy), Legend of Speed (LEE WEI OH LEE WEI OH SHUAI SHUAI GE!!!!) and Mars (Zaizai and Da S). Oh maybe just maybe Lee Wei can come to Indo to promote his latest drama ^_^!...But the meet and greet was started by Ting TIng singing then finally the rest of the cast came out. There were Q&A session between the stars and fans. Then we could take pictures with them (since there weren't many people that came, probably around 100).
During waiting for my turn to take picture with them, suddenly laura showe up from nowhere hahahaha..YES SHE BROKE IN !!!! HAHAHA and harlo I finally got my cameras from her and she took my picture when it was my group's turn to take picture with Ambrose etc. heheheh after that they did little drawing for dinner with the cast (heard it was somewhere in MK or PM?) then near the end, Ambrose talked to the fans in english, saying that he love to come to Indonesia often, and wanted the fans to like him always hehehehe ^_^....and end of story!
a short review huh? well there was nothing excited there..the typical meet and greet I assume? Here are some pictures taken with my digicam, it was pretty dark (I hate the lighting, so dimmed!)...enjoy...If I have more pictures I will post them later next week >_<
Ambrose oh Ambrose.....
and here I am back to write a short blog perhaps?...well I decided to go to pick up Ambrose at the airport. This time toro was going totally alone. Getting there with the only information I got from "someone" that Ambrose was flying in from Shanghai (seperated from Joelle and Kuo Ting Ting etc), I got there around 3, finally found out that Ambrose was flyin' in with Garuda straight from Shanghai. Saw a bunch of girls (the usual people I've met), hanging around Terminal D (they probably waited for Joelle etc earlier). So around 310pm, the plane finally landed and suddenly Terminal D was empty of those girls, and toro went to panick mode. Well, the only one left was this camera guy that was tailed by these 2 high school girls. Minute was ticking..and toro was literally panicking! was ambrose going out by another door? but all international flights are coming in thru Terminal D. Suddenly that camera guy started to walk to Terminal E..and YES PEOPLE, TORO FOLLOWED HIM..AND GUESS WHA I SAW! those bunch of girl were already crowding (around 10-20 maks) the exit!!..around 10 minutes waiting..there he went! Ambrose walking out straight..and those girls started screaming and toro was ready with her beloved and loyal DV cam, followed him to the car.....the girls were crowding him, but the bodyguard were shielding him. But ambrose was friendly he waved around, he was wearing sleeveless flannel shirt and sun glasses. hair do is the same like in Liang Nu Lang. here are some 2 decent pictures! (since I was using my DV, so no good pictures) Perhaps tommorow if i can take som piccies during the M&G

Xin Jia Bo 5566 Dragon Yan CHang Hui 2004
Many thanks to: Pinji (for helping me to get the tix);Syl,Keith,She (for being sucha good hosts!)!!
disclaimer: this is TOTORO's story, u need to ask my permission first to post the story and pictures used in this report!
click the thumbnails for bigger size pictures
The report that you all have been waiting for (not all of you probably), but for every adventure I went, always tried to write up a nice report for memories's sake I assume. It will be divided to 2 parts: the concert and toro's review on the concert as a whole (and in parts maybe)
Part One: The Concert
Toro and nenek was already at the Indoor stadium from about 6.30 to meet PJ's friend to get our tickets, so we met her, then waited for a lot while, we were seating on PB Section Row 10 Seat 4 and Seat 5!We sat down near the premiere entrance wathing a lot of girls walking around, the number was growing at the hour..until around 7.30ish..the door is opened..but we need to queue up in front of the entrance ( along queue indeed, but quite fast), they checked bags and tickets (toro of course can smuggle one little camera, my wonderful pink bag has a secret unseen pouch inside).As we are entering the venue, the first thing that we saw was the quite big stage in front of our eyes and the 5566's songs blaring from the sound system also they were showing One More Try MV on the screen, toro and nenek at that point already had the "kebat kebit" feeling (jittery feeling)..so we went to find our seats,great seatings indeed among the Starlanders. After a while, I was in doubt that the tickets were actually SOLD OUT (sistic web said the first 2 class was SOLD OUT)..but then around 8.15 or so...more people still coming in from outside....and voila..the light went out..and everyone screamed!!! and the PA said the show is about to start and stated the rules bla bla etc. ah before I forgot, I saw Kym Ng in the front seats..around 9 rows in front of me,since manya local medias were taking pictures of her, and saw her standing and talking to the press too..(FYI: Kym Ng played TOny SUn's mother in Westside Story, she is a local Singapore actress!a funky woman...the image of her with so many Hello Kittys always printed on my mind hahahah). so nearing 8.30ish..the show started with K-One, they showed up on the stage using the hydrollic lift, they were all wearing white and Jr was wearing this bandana, they sang We're K-One and another 2 songs!One of the songs was the theme of their upcomong Ou Xiang Ju, written by TORO and sang with Shao Wei (they refered to him as Shao Wei Ge, this drama is supposedly somewhat similar to Mi Jia Le Zhi Wu).Most of the audience was seated during K-One's performance, not a lot of people standing up cheering them, only a few rows in front of...even I and nenek were seating down (saving some energy for the real show later on), but their dance was so so and ok lah...don't think they can replace Energy in the future >_< (good news for Energy fans rite)..

WALLACE HUO, PENNY LIN AND QIAO EN
yup they are here in town to promote their new ou xiang ju called 100% Senorita or Twins!....just arrived this afternoon directly from Taipei!...around 2pm Wallace, Penny and Qiao En finally came out through the exit...WH was wearing a sports jersey and sunglasses..very friendly and very shuai (just like in his dramas lah)....no difference..at one point whe he was still inside the railings...he stopped for a second and waving to the fans (who were at that time very hysterical...the number of fans who came not much..probably 30 people max)...but I do have to admit he's friendly and so is Penny Lin...they kept waving and shaking hand with the fans......fans were pretty crazy at one point.......so they all rushed to this Big Bird bus that's waiting outside the curb!.......when they were inside the bus and sat down....they still waved to the fans..hahah so funny...not much to tell..I was thinking to go to Mariott at first..but then Dabs and Nenek and NEre were like hum no long lasting feeling neh....so I am hungry where should we go eat? ..then we all went to Izzi and gossiped like crazy..from learning the new bahasa gaul..to everything.......a fun day indeed..but I must say this is the first time I went to the airport to see some taiwanese artistes and resulting in no aftershock feeling!!! hahaha..funny lah...so here are some pics...rather small..since I didn't put too much effort in running around this time

Lawrence=Laulens=Takki Abal
yes, I will blog about this infamous takki abal..per request of course, after so lazy blogging for these couple of days ^^...so who is lawrence? Lawrence is Lee Wei's Biao Di (cousin, right ne?)...well who noticed him first? well it's Dabsky hahahaha you girl always notice someone cute from the entourage yes!....last time during Energy's visit...she's eyeing Chocolate from TBC( last minute though..hahahahah since she passed a note to EG via chocolate)...and the aftermath was kyaa kyaa chocolate......now during Lee Wei's visit! it's his cousin that dabs started to notice..
well it happened during a press confrence.. there was this guy standing on the side looking..wearing a blus black striped shirt...and dabs starting to poke toro saying, who is that guy? is that lee wei's assistant? kinda cute?....of course toro always the last one to notice since all my eyes were directed to ultimate bumper !!! It was then..back in the lobby while we were waiting for lee wei to come back....dabs were saying oke that lee wei's cute assistant is cute.....and sley like really bla bla...then when he came back i guess we all started to notice this guy wearing the blue black stripped shirt! hahahah and yes..after that little jogging I had with lee wei and lawrence of course..
sley: hum.....that lee wei's assistant is cute...looks like a nihonjin
toro: truueeee he looks like a nihongo
sley: *pletak toro* nihonjin toro! nihongo is the language
toro: oiye lupe...gomenasai!!!!!!!!
wenny: hum...benar benar
hahahah during the concert wenny stood with her friends....well luckily..she stood near where Lawrence stood and talked to him hahaha during the break between sessions (me think during that medan's ayumi hamasaki performance)..wenny approached us and said that "assistant" turned out to be lee wei's cousin (younger)..and said lee wei might come to jakarta end of this year or next year (this fact is not important at all btw)..syalala and during the 2nd session of LW's concert,lawrence sat right behind us hahaha...lucky lucky us...and we stole glances (well probably sley and dabs..since toro was too engrossed looking at Lee Wei of course)..and well during that lawrence sitting behind us..that we started to say, " LAWRENCE LOOKS LIKE TAKKI THEREFORE HE IS A TAKKI ABAL"...hahah sley was so excited about this hihihihi... .. towards the end of the concert there were some crazy Medan fans....had no manners at all started to notice how cute Lawrence is...and they started to approach him...and hugged him just to take a picture with him ( and not asking him first!!!!! how rude!!!)...well to our greatest satisfaction..Lawrence threw a disgusted look while those crazy girls touching him all over!!!! (way to go Lawrence!.....)....wait wait!..toro is blabbering about Lawrence being the takki abal....you all must be curious about this rite? hahahah sorry...here is his pic!...so does he look like Hideaki Takizawa
All About Lee Wei Part 2
listening to: Fei Gu Niang De Xie (but of course another Lee Wei's song)
btw this above song is written by Lee Wei himself! (yes you can look at the inside booklet kok lyrics by Lee Wei)...ngak gitu suka ama ini lagu pas dia nyanyi-in live tapi tiba2 koktoro jadi suka (mungkin gara2 dabs yg tiap hari karaoke abis liat lee wei hahaha)
okay round 2 for the concert review of course...hahahah maap tadi siang a bit in a hurry tulisnya karena ada lunch meeting..jadi baru bisa part one...part one aja kok panjang banget yoh! toro emang demen OTE hahah mau mulai tulis review ini aja udah ngomong 3-4 paragraph yg ngak penting *gomenasai*....
aniwei before kita move one ke some serious review about the concert..mari toro ceritakan sebuah adventure lucu dan tolol tapi juga fun and tiring seorang chincila yg "jogging" bersama ultimate bumper di dunia ini
where were we before? ah yes...after the press conf...kita semua makan siang di Funland itu ada semacam jap food yg mayan lah utk isi perut kita...and it's around 12pm noon..terus balik ke depan di Lobby depan sambil foto2 sono sini..utk mengabadikan pertemuan seorang chincila dan busley.......terus akhirnya kita duduk di lobby..di saat itulah kayaknya somehow kita notice kalau kamar lee wei itu ada di balkon atas kita dimana pintu kamarnya keliatan banget hahah (mudah dilacak karena ada beberapa fans dan ada polisi yg jagain)..yep his room was visible to everyone to see and stare.istilahnya kalau dia keluar masuk kita pasti tau..suddenly out of nowhere benar dia turun sektar jam 1230an deh.udah mau jam 1..dan dia turun lewat tangga dikawal cuman ama 1-2 polisi lah..ada lee wei, managernya dan hairdresser dia dan of course Takki Abal alias Laulens tercinta (another story about this cousin of lee wei)...terus masuk mobil kijang..pas masuk mobil Lee Wei
duduk di depan..dan itu mobil ngak langsung berangkat sih.....jadi toro bisa pas berdiri di samping mobil sambil malu2 hahahah
liatin bumper dia dah voila....dia liat toro dan toro dadahin (malu2 juga tentunya) dan dia smile dan toro
..terus dia pergi...dan kita semua nongkrong di lobby lah karena dia pasti pulang lewat pintu yg sama bukan?........
sejam kemudia bener dia muncul kembali..dimana kita assume dia pergi makan siang...hahahah dia pake baju jaket kotak2 merah hitem gitu ternyata pas balik itu jaket dibuka dan didalamnya pake singlet putih doang hahaha sayang begitu dia turun lgs dikpake lagi itu jaket..pas dia masuk ke dalam ada anak kecil di depan pintu gitu dia lgs nunduk kasih salam , terus pas masuk udah berdiri deket toro dan dabs yg bengong2..dia sempet liat kanan kiri celingah celinguk..karena entourage dia masih di belakang
..terus mereka pada jalan ke kiri lobby dimana ada resto china...dan stop di depan mikir....ternyata boo dia belom makan siang....terus dia ngak jadi makan siang di situ dan dia jalan ke luar ke arah kolamg renang..dan yap toro dan dabs lari2 ikutin rombongan lee wei..hahah mereka jalannya mayan cepet dan toro dan dabs ini dasar 2 babi yg malas alias ngak pernah olahraga jadi cepet bener2 ngos2an kayak orang bengek gitu
...oalalala ternayta lee wei jalan terus ke funland naik tanggah (another hosh hosh udak 2 babi tentunya)..terus jalan sepanjang itu banyak orang banget kan..ada yg teriak2 panggil dia..ada yg liatin ini cowo keren nyasar dari mana hehehe
........dan we were back ke tempat press conf tadi pagi yg notabene di tengah2 food court (aduh apakah lee wei tadi mencium2 bau makanan dari sini ampe dia rela jalan kaki ke sini utk makan?)..sayang saat itu tempatnya rame banget...ngak ada tempat...makanya manajernya suruh balik aja..dan syalala toro dan dabs ngintil2 lagi lari2 kayak orang keabisan napas...balik lagi ngadain 3 menit trek ke lobby depan..*hosh hosh hosh*..dan akhirnya lee wei naek tangga balik ke kamar..dan 10 menit kemudian terlihat room service masuk ke kamar dia bawa tray2 makanan hosh hosh begitulah cerita toro dan dabs yg jogging bersama lee wei selama 5-6 menit-an hahahah it was funny
so here is thre review yah konsernya:
sebelom konser mulai wenny udah kasih tau palingan Lee Wei cuman singing 3 lagu..karena dulu pas ERic Suen dan Jimmy Lin juga gitu...jadi di awal ada acara barongsai bla bli blu dan artis medan ayumi hamasaki wannabe yg udah agak tue..yaitu Vonny biasanya nyanyi dan ada fasion show..baru biasanya artisnya muncul nyanyi 3 lagu terakhir.....pas denger gitu toro dalam hati agak kuciwa seh..jauh2 dateng cuman lait dia singing 3 lagu tapi yah sud lah..daripada ngak liat sama sekali since tiket juga hanya cepeceng.........
konser mulai lah venuesnys juga ala kadar lah semacam teater indoor tapi kecil lah.....okelah....panggung jg mayan walau ngak mewah...toro berdiri/nyandar juga di depan di kelas standing..yg juga ngak rame2 banget..yg duduk malah lebih rame ...hiburan pertama adalah barongsai........lalu ada penari2 dari local dancer (mayan lah)...terus ada bagi2 kepingan uang emas maklum masih dalam suasana hari ketiga sincia kan (since imlek dirayain 2 minggu ampe cap go meh kan?)...syalala akhirnya tiba2 announcer bilang Lee Wei is next...lgs berdengung deh itu intro lagu Sa Ye Dao Di...penari2 lokalnya keluar dan ngak lama dari panggung bagian atas lee wei pun muncul.....dengan suit hitam tapi ngak pake baju dalam jadi telda gitu lah *wink wink* (telda=telanjang dada bagi yg tak tau)....syalalala toro udah slurpie....actuallyn gak bisa histeris cuman kayak joygasm2 kecil berdua-an si dabs..hahahah...oke urutan lagu di session pertama adalah....
1. Sa Ye Dao Di
2. Wo Zhi Wei Ni Guai
3.Aiqing duo bi qiu
4. Su Dao San
5. Xiang Ni ye Xiang Wo (ini lagu yg kata dia ada R&Bnya)
btw urutan di atas kayaknya ada yg toro lupa deh.....lagu no. 4 ngak yakin...tapi 2 lagu pertama bener hehehe....terus bisa 5 lagu itu dia stop dan MC saruman dan translator Mr Geeky keluar utk conversation tanya2..btw MC Saruman ini ckp lucu dan entertaining lah ngak garing...ini ada beberapa pertanyaannya (thanks to dabs dan cicinya yg kita tanya2 hahahah)
sebelomnya MC sapa lee wei APA KABAR, dijawab ama lee wei APA KABAR heheh dia udah belajar tampaknya
ditanya: Lee Wei suka bagian mana sih dari tubuhnya
lee wei: susah dijawab tapi terus dia akhirnya bilang semua juga suka lah (intinya...)
MC: tanya penonton suka Lee Wei bagian manaya
audience: (harlo) BIBIRNYA YG SEKSI (of course lah)
pas lee wei dikasih tau, dia ketawa hahahaha..dan bilang makasih......
pertanyaan2 laen standard..terus akhirnay dia lanjut nyanyi lagi.....bis lagu ke lima dia masuk dan kita dihibur oleh artis lokal medan..syalalala toro recharge diri utk siap2..dan ckp hepi karena dia ngak cuman nyanyi 3 lagu, istilahnya ngak percuma lah dateng jauh2 dari Jakarta dong......dan dapat bocoran dia nyanyi 11 lagu total oh makin hepi ....
sessi kedua dimulai dengan kostum yg dipake pas press conf tuh..tank top ungu gitu....dimulai dengan lagu 666
lalu ada Wo Men, Tian Tang, Fei Gu Niang De Xie (yg dia bilang kalau ini liriknya dia yg tulis)..terus dia nyanyi dari album WEWE yaitu Ni Bu Kuai Le sambil duduk karena kecapean...di tengah session 2 ini ada acara interactive games dengan audience...dipilih beberapa audience utk lomba dance..hahah ckp lucu suruh dance along dengan lagu 666 heheh liatin si lee wei ketawa ketiwi sono dan sini hehehehe.....it was funny...session 2 kelar...ada hiburan2 lagi dari MC yg adain games tebak berapa lagu udah dinyanyin lee wei *eheks*....dan ada encore dong.....dan lagu happy day lee wei keluar dengan kostum merah yg ada tulisan WEWEnya..hahah at this point toro udah jingkrak2 tolol kayaknya hahaha..........basically that's the whole concert sederhana tapi bagus dan enak
Minus-one, lip syncs atau playback?
hum kayaknya sih LIVE kok..unless Lee Wei pinter banget aktinya karena steiap lagu keliatan lehernya narik2 gitu hahahah dan pas lagu Happy Day ketauan banget Live karena dia sibuk loncat2 dan suka suaranya ilang2 dari Mike heheheh.........dan sisa lagu cepetnya itu dia ngak seberapa dance cuman goyang3 kecil gitu.........suara dia bagus kok LIVE ,,,,well kalau punya CD lee wei taulah suara asli dan suara singing dia itu kan sama hahaha ibarat dia ngomong dan dikasih nada dan musik deh , once ketika di , kita berdua lgs histeris hahahaha
...selama pertunjukan dia very nice selalu salamin audicen yg di depan, bolak balik teasing them..senyum dan one thing y berkesan banget selama the whole day......kalau Lee Wei ketawa keliatan banget semua mukanya ketawa including his eyes....it's so sincere...the whole face laughing dan bukan hanya his mouth and lips..keliatan dari body language dia lah hehehe......very nice and friendly artist I must say..........(just like Energy and a bit more)...........oiye pas lagu Xiang Ni Ye Xiang Wo dia kan lempar2in poster yg ada ttd-nya aduh pas last poster mau dilempar dia bener2 iseng banget boo hihihi sebelom dilempar dia kiss dulu posternnya dah ketawa....ngek
toro berteriakkkkkk dan histeris (walau ngak nangkap) tapi his cute gesture bikin toro melting kayak eskrim campina (eheks what a term yoh)............
yap kayaknya that's about it deh....bener2 memuakan utk toro another adventure ..........hump long wiken ahead....plans plans...dari harus kasih barang keramat ke dianne titipan dari medan....ampe ke acara sweet 17th my cousin this sunday and of course a full day of WIP dan Jyanis day with nere dan nenek on monday ...cannot wait til monday lahhhhhhhhhh as usual hehehe
