childhood fantasy

Few months back, i blogged about getting tickets to Distant Worlds: music from Final Fantasy.
it was reported in the papers back then that the 2 shows were fully sold out and had to open an additional matinee show for the Singapore Arts Festival. Not surprising as this is the asian premiere. there were many foreigners who flew to singapore just to catch the performance. lucky me, i manage to get 2 tickets for the matinee show before it was sold out the next day.

xx and i, about to enter the concert all, lots of young ppl haha but hey i am young too!

this was how the orchestra setup looks like, couldn't take any photos inside, they were very strict with photography, esp when i was sitting by the side, the usher was just beside me... the symphony orchestra at the front, choir behind and the screen showing clips from the games. with clips from older ff1 all the way to the newer ff11, one can really see the development of the video gaming industry. from pixelated boxy characters to beautifully rendered 3d heroes, technology has come a long way

the conductor was arnie roth, grammy award winner. when the first piece started, i was like wow, suddenly feel emo, its like the memories started flooding through my mind. NO game series has ever been so powerful like this one, especially final fantasy 7.

I started playing FF7 in sec 1. unlike games such as mario, sonic (instead of just jumping on mushrooms, rushing around collecting rings) final fantasy is just so epic. There is so much plot within the game. Colourful characters, intense storyline, huge world to explore, it really puts u in an adventure u will never find in the real world. being only 13 yrs old, didn't really understand what guy girl love was about. the game did reveal some to me then. especially the scene where the female lead actually died (shouldn't games have happy endings for the couples? not this one), together with the music composed by Nobuo Uematsu, it really made me shed a tear or 2 back then

listening to aerith's(the female lead) theme yesterday did made me feel abit emo, i could still remember vividly the scene haiz so sad

During the intermission, we went out to buy the cd. initially the guy said sold out! but he was not fast enough as i saw him covering up the cds. he explained that he has to keep some to sell for the night performance but in the end, he sold it asking me not to tell anyone haha

mine mine mine!! hehe

they played songs from the final fantasy series 1 to 11, but mostly from 7 and 8, including the popular song "eyes on me"as sang by faye wong but it was the instrumental version, captivating nonetheless. surprise surprise, Nobuo Uematsu, the guy who composed ALL the songs from ALL the final fantasy series came for the concert as well, what a talented genius. dressed in some traditional jap outfit and socks + slippers, he cheekily went to join the choir for the ultimate encore piece "one winged angel".

this is truly one symphony orchestra performance i really love and the ticket price of $40 is really a steal, i wouldn't mind spending $100 next time if the show returns again.

a dose of tiffanys

more irritating news, stupid hdb staff rejected my appeal... arghh and i can't believe how how how how spoonfed singaporeans are. today, a fon demanded to see a senior today to complain... and u won't believe how stupid the complain is. somehow the appointment slot for next year is not open yet, so ppl who are given appts next year will have to wait till a later date, call in to book their own appt. this guy not happy, ask why is the system sucks? what if i forget to call, then my appt delayed? wtf? its your own teeth dude, not the government's. u have a phone, whats the organiser for? and he insisted on us making a note of his appt and book for him when the appt slots are open... wht a f**ker...
