HM treated me to 《東京事變 Live Tour 2012 Domestique Bon Voyage》戲院直播 yesterday. The experience was different, can't say I've seen a concert broadcasted before, but I enjoyed the date, a lot. It was perfect, in my eyes.
We met up at Tai Wo station, (I have spent the afternoon with V and her mum at Kadoorie Farm & Botanical Gardens), took the train to Tsuen Wan West. Along the way we had some funny conversations, not intelligent, by any means, but I had a good laugh till my cheeks hurt. Along the short walk to the cinema we passed by a bus station, where there was a bus he could take back to TP, but he said he'll take the train so he can accompany me (I practically melted?!). It wasn't long till we ended up at the mall we need to be at, and we had a meal at a cute cozy cafe, I ended up getting a vegetarian noodle soup, and bubble tea. I got quite a sweet deal - dinner was on me and HM got the tix...
It wasn't particularly crowded at the cinema, the seats were comfy, and I was well fed (maybe too well fed...). The feeling of it being streamed live from Tokyo, people actually watching this while we were watching it just felt funny for some reason. I shouldn't really be surprised, because Skype existed for YEARS?!!
The concert was great! To be honest I only know maybe 10-15 songs by Tokyo Jihen, and I'm sure the level of appreciation HM has is far greater than mine. I must admit the first half hour or so I was REALLY sleepy. Prolly coz of the food? The sleepiness dampened and I was really enjoying the concert, the performance was great. I like Shiina Ringo, but I never saw her perform, she was totally into it and a great performer! There was such glamour! The guitarist was awesome, with the MANY guitars he changed in between songs (I swear there was at least TEN). The drummer was very cute, he took his camera out on several occasions to document his band members, and the audience. I also liked his make up! He had stars/glitter on his eyelid and below his eyebrows! The bassist seems to be the most mature of the 5, he was 陶醉 in his own music too. Couldn't help but notice how his wrists were wrapped up for support, hope he doesn't get arthritis too soon. The keyboardist was awesome! He also played the guitar. I swear a keyboard makes a band complete, just doesn't sound nearly as nice when they don't have it (then again, I still like Zodiac's music though they don't have a keyboard).
I really enjoyed the live broadcast, although I must say I would prolly have more of a "high" if we were actually in the concert, definitely felt idle and not participating enough! However, I am by NO means complaining. It was a wonderful evening.
其二:
究竟誰陪誰...?
Ma took the day off, and we spent the day together. Went to SKM/SSP for food - had snake soup (!) and glutinous rice, fishball/fishcake noodle soup and vege, kaya french toast, then had hazelnut coffee. Before the coffee we visited a stationary shop and my mum bought me arts supplies <3. We also managed to visit a new design school in Hong Kong (SCAD). We had the coffee at Jockey Club Creative Arts Centre. Next went to Jordan for her haircut. I just waited with her while she got her haircut (thank goodness for iPhone games!). It was at a small flat in a building close to Kowloon Park. The hairdresser was this older man (retired) and only taking few appointments. The convo included how good it is for me to accompany my mum, but in all honesty I think she's accompanying me? If she didn't take the day off I'll be just at home, prolly moping. After that we went in a clothing shop, and she bought me a jacket, the style looks like the black jacket I'm wearing at the moment, only more stylish, better quality, and posher! SPOILT. 曬命-ing. We then went towards PCC and walking through Kowloon Park. The flowers 風信子 were beautiful... We went to the wet market and bought some vege, then I came home while she went to PCC.

So many more things to brag about but I think I should call it a night for now.
