Friday, March 25, 2005 :::
 

Good Friday

like an assassin looking at its victim
asking for the victim's forgiveness
paying tribute
sing out loud

i was speechless.

a sudden realization that this actually happened some 2000 years ago
it's not some kind of fairy tale
it actually happened

and it's not just history

2000 years later
when you are being asked
"where were you at that time?"
"what would you have done?"

you know that this is not a distant irrelevant account of details.


a time for reflection
too much to feel sorry for
too much to ask for

He wants the minimal from us
yet we want the most from Him

He gave us everything
what did we give in return?

a thought or two -
so human in nature
"but this is reality" I say an excuse for our devils inside, from our devils inside


lost and found in the refuge
could mean found and lost in the outside world.


***

this world is a contradicting one
Avril Lavigne's gig is obviously falling on the wrong day

tickets in hand, as the ferry dock, the giant HKCEC is glowing in the dark in a very cool velvet
as we enter the lobby together with the crowd, escalator after another, that's when the excitement builds up. Pointless bantering and star-spotting in the hall. Then the lights go out 45 minutes after 8. Scream! The intro track starts. More screaming. She's on stage!
Then it's a 70 minute roller coaster ride. Super cool atmosphere, the crowd all standing up and singing and actually reacting. She belted out all the songs almost non stop. Starting off with He Wasn't was cool, then immediately followed by My Happy Ending. Probably too soon. She did some of my favorites like Nobody's Home (LOVE THAT TRACK!), Together, Take Me Away, Losing Grip, Sk8er Boi, Complicated, Unwanted, Mobile... some tracks are horrible at first listen but great when performed live. But she missed out Anything but Ordinary, My World, Fall to Pieces and Naked. Overall a great gig, she sings better than I expected, can't believe her voice's actually OK after touring for so long, and her band is OK too. She actually played drums on a blur song they covered. She also played piano on 2 numbers. Lightings were surprisingly well designed. Security guards understanding enough to let us stand. But 70 minute is simply too short, for an artist with 2 albums out.

Didn't take long to belt out all 19 songs.

Tired but wanting for more, she left and the stage guys started packing.

She didn't say a word to the audience. Weird.

Anyway. Easter Holiday.
Study weekend.

same thing.
