Hello from Vivien Chou

Hello. I'm glad that I'm invited to join the Jay Chou blog. I would cry to myself if I'm cornered in the world of Jay Chou. And in this post, my intro post, I'm gonna rant about my love to Jay Chou.

The ever first song of Jay's Ive heard is most probably Xing Qing on the radio. I left no special impression on that song, honestly. I had a bigger fetish on Tension during that time. I paid no special attention to him until I saw Jay playing the piano on my TV screen. From that moment I started to pay a little more attention to this newcomer in the enterntaiment industry.

When he came out with the second album, Fantasy, I had no idea till one day when my cousin played his songs from her computer. Then I remember she said, "Eh, he has nice songs. I like this album. All the songs but except for the last song." And that was proven because she ripped the whole album she borrowed from her friend but not the last song which is An Jing. I asked her why and she told me it is a boring song. I doubt her and I played that song. I like it and I bought the very first album of my Jay Chou collection the next day.

And I totally love Kai Bu Liao Kou. I just wondered why most of the girls in his music videos are caucasians.



I cant remember how long later, when I was walking on the street of Bukit Bintang, a girl passed me a flyer. I took and I saw Jay on it with captions stating about his first concert in Malaysia. The Fantasy Concert. Back at that time, his concert tickets worthed only rm60-rm180. Hahaha. And I was only 14 back then. I asked my mum whether could I go with the money I was about to get during CNY. She said no. Because she did not want to go with me neither I can attend the concert alone. I wasnt fanatic enough to persuade my mum and so I failed. I did not attend his first concert in Malaysia :(



From then onwards, I told myself that I must save up money for his next albums and concerts. And knowing that I cant go to his concert, I began to go "crazy" about him. I started to cut and paste his news on magazine and newspaper to my Jay Chou fan book. Every piece of news I see I would cut and paste. And all these stopped when he became more and more famous. I was too lazy for it already. Haha. And then I joined online forums like Jay-Chou.net and many more.

With the promise I made to myself, indeed, starting from Fantasy, I bought all his original albums including Concert dvds, special version of albums, OST, movie DVDs and EPs. I also bought his first album to complete my Jay Chou collection. I even attended my very first Jay Chou concert in Singapore, The One concert with my cousin. I went all the way to Singapore just for him. I even skipped school for a day. That concert was a blast. I can still remember a few special moment from it. But most of the time I viewed Jay from the projector because I cannot afford the better seats as I had to pay for my transportation to Singapor.



Skip skip skip to the second concert I attended back on year 2005. It was the Imcomparable concert. I attended it with my BFFs and my BF. At that time, I can only afford the RM150 tickets, where we we seated in the middle of the field of Stadium Merdeka. We could hardly see anything clear on the stage. Sigh.

I was also given the title Jay-Fanatic back in high school. I was the well known Jay Chou's fan in high school. I am feeling proud because the title continued till my college stage. Hahaha. This is most probably because I love to mention about him no matter what topic or whatever the rest are talking about.



Besides attending his concerts, I also did attend his various promo tours and also the only autograph session he had in KL. I remember it was on the 23rd November 2005 when I was having my Add Math SPM paper. I was being bad, I left the exam hall once it reached the 30th minute and headed all the way to 1U. It was around 2pm when I started queuing up for a 7pm event. But well, Jay appeared only when the clock strikes 8. And being an early bird, I was one of the first 20 to go up the stage. Muahahahahahahaha. I had star stroke by the way and that explains why I was speechless when I see Jay straight in my face. He said "XIE XIE" to me and I can never forget about it. I also skipped school for a day to attend his Initial D promo. Hahaha.



Fast forwarding to his birthday early this year, I actually travelled to Singapore again because he had his birthday concert in Singapore. And also a supposed-to-be fans meeting session during his birthday. But hell, it was canceled and I failed to get the tickets for his concert :( And that's when I decided to get the best in KL. I worked like a cow to get the best ticket I could during his World Tour concert early this year. I spent rm800 just to forget about looking at the projector for Jay. And Yay! I've got the 3rd row from the stage, from Jay! It was so cool. It was worth it. I no longer need to stare at the projector but I could see Jay and snapped him just like that. And only on that 2 hours of concert, I took 300+ pictures of Jay Chou including some funny ones like below.







Watching him playing the piano can really make me melt. And I also took a picture with Jay during that concert. I'm serious!!!!!!! LOOK!



Deng deng deng! Hehehehehe. And that's me on the left.

After the concert, I went to Taiwan. Wow. For another time I felt so close to Jay Chou. Hehehehe. I did all my research about his boutique and restaurant there because I want to go there like mad and I did. I went to his Phantaci. And I missed his Mr.J Italian Restaurant :(





No. Too bad I dint bump into Jay there :( But I bought one less costy item that can be found in his shop. I bought a Phantaci cap. Hehehehe. I must go to his restaurant in Taiwan and grab the Secret's merchandise there! I must I must! And oh, I watched Secret twice on the way to and back from Taiwan on the airplane. And that sums up to 8 times of watching and crying after the movie. Muahahahahaaha.

Oh well, I think I'm ranting too much already as this is only the intro post to this lovely Jay Chou blog. I'll be back blogging about him soon! Cioaz! :) Anyway you can read my review about Jay Chou World Tour 2008 Malaysia just by clicking here, here and here!
