yesterday night went all the way to singapore exhibition hall max pavilion to watch the concert of dong1 fang1 bi3 li4, not that i am a fan of his but it just happens that my parents laid their hands on 4 complementary tickets of the concert and that my older brother went to camp so i went to watch. also because one of the guests is zhang1 feng1 qi3 so i guess the concert will be worthwhile ba. had been listening to the advertisements about the concert on radio and was wondering how many people will actually go and support him. i was really amazed at the turnout rate, i can say that there are at least 3000 people who went to watch. got tcs actors anf actress and DJs also. i rather enjoyed myself when billy sang old songs that i like but other times i feel rather sian la, to be serious. but i have to admit that i am encouraged by his fight against leukemia and all the charitable acts he has done all this while, he has indeed earned my admiration. there were videos showing him last year in hospital battling against the disease and all the news about how he kept vomitted blood after the operation.. the billy in the video looked so terrible, bloated and sick.. i am motivated by his strong will to survive.. life is really not about studying, so what if you score well for a-levels? so what if you dont? life goes on right? even if things dont go smoothly or successfully, so long as you have given in your very best, the outcome should not affect you too much. like for the a-levels, so long as you have studied all you could, given in your best shot when attempting the questions, whatever happens next year march is no longer within your control so dont think about them anymore ya? =)BUT, i have to say i was quite put off by the concert in the sense that there is a strong religion colour over the whole concert.. jesus bless you.. god allow me to pull through.. thank god etc.. i dont want people to think that i am intolerant against christianity, i have lots of christian friends and i dont discriminate them. the fact is i really hate it when they preach to people of other religions about how good christianity is etc. then they will try to ask you to change your religion to christianity when things are going wrong etc. i mean, come on, do you see other religions doing such things? i just feel that everyone should be given the right to choose the knid of religion he/she wants without anyone else reinforcing how great a particular religion is ya? i have listened to christians who come house to house to tell people about what they think of happenings around the world and singapore now patiently for 1/2 an hour. they tell you about how the bible has predicted all these happenings and how christianity can help. i do understand their intention of helping others and sharing their care&concern around. but i am just put off by the fact that they will keep bringing their religion into the discussion. i believe there are many people of other religions, or those that are free-thinkers, whom will agree with me. if i have offended anyone, i am sorry but i just have to say it out. pardon my insolence.
