Sammi Cheng - Show Mi Concert

Thanks to Bunny's colleague, we managed to get free tickets to Sammi Cheng's comeback concert - Show Mi.

We saw quite a number of "People Like Us" there and here's Sheren and MH seated amongst the audience:

Stage set-up

The concert didn't start till much later, so we snapped some pictures while queuing up to use the toilet:




Here's Sammi's first costume get-up:

She started the concert with her ex-beau's song "唯独你是不可取代", tore of the blindfold and wig and disappeared off-stage, which drove the fans crazy:



And reappeared with a red wig:

...which we didn't really like at all.

Her next costume comprised a black doll wig and leggings:

After singing a few fast tracks, she went for a costume change again and re-emerged in a black outfit with a long wig, which kind of suited her, but not very "Sammi-like":



Note: If you watch the video long enough, you'll be able to view a close-up shot of her

My favourite shot

During this section of the concert, she started telling us about her 2 year break and how her family has a habit of writing letters to each other. She told us that there was a point in time when she felt confused about her life, and her dad wrote back to her, advising her to take a break, which she did. During this break, she rested at home, and started drawing and painting (which she showed a few on the big screens). It was pretty moving and I guess she touched the hearts of her fans.

Stefanie Sun was the guest appearance for her Singapore concert. Zzzz. Bunny said, "THAT could have been Denise Ho." Ya. If we were watching the concert in Hong Kong, not Singapore. *snores*

I've got a close-up video of them talking and singing but I can't be bothered to post it up.

We were so bored during this segment that we started taking pictures of ourselves, again:




Sammi disappeared while Stefanie Sun was singing and reappeared with her hip-hop outfit, getting ready to pump up the heat with a medley of fast tracks:




During the ENTIRE concert, Bunny's eyes were fixed on this dancer. Hahahaha. She was busy following her with the binoculars, NOT Sammi.


Sammi's a bit of a dork when it comes to dancing, but I guess this is what makes her so adorable and appealing to everyone. Even artistes aren't perfect, huh?



After the Canto-pop medley, she went to change into her last outfit - a flattering white pants suit, which I believe many people thought she looked the best in:

My favourite song (thank goodness she sang it) stolen from YouTube. Some people are simply rich enough to get front row seats.

She invited two girls from the audience to sing with her and she would then reward them with limited edition t-shirts. I think those two girls would not be able to sleep for the next few weeks or so:


There's a close-up video of the above segment on YouTube, but the person who took it didn't manage to capture the funny bits, so please bear with this pixelated and noisy video of mine. This segment was the funniest and Sammi was cracking us up by teasing the girls, calling them "肥妹", making jokes and simply being how she is - very straightforward and a bit tactless at times.

What's disappointing was that she didn't reappear for the encore. The audience waited for another 15 minutes or so and once they switched on the stadium lights, we realised that there wouldn't be any encore at all. My colleague, who sat at the front few rows, told me that the security guards were chasing them away while they were waiting for the encore. Tsk.

The concert was good because Sammi's a great performer, but other than that, the stage set-up and costumes weren't fantastic. Such a pity that they don't bring the full Hong Kong version and props over to other countries.

After the concert, we met up with Sheren and headed to Geylang for supper:

I need a haircut, again.


This fat cat was happily snoozing next to us






Still fixing the hair. "Where's my beef hor-funnnn???"

We moved to the store next to us for desserts - the famous 24 hour dao-huey at Geylang:

Having satisfied our eardrums and stomachs, we headed home, raving about the concert along the way.

We attended yet another performance this year! I've never been to so many performances or concerts in a year. It's great fun indeed! Thanks to Bunny's colleague, whoever he is.
