Guinness Live Finale Concert Featuring Power Station and Liu Li Yang

Happy St. Patrick’s Day everyone, hope you guys are having a great time.

Did you guys read my previous post on The Friendliest Day of The Year Concert‏?

Today at St. James Dragonfly, Guinness is holding the finale concert of Guinness Live together with special guests - Power Station and Liu Li Yang.

Lets come together for a night of great music.

Together with a group of friends, we made our way down to Dragonfly for the grand finale of Guinness Live concert. It marked the end of the 4 months long PK competition. Come to think of it, I really missed those times where we will head down to Guinness Live to support our friends and cheer for them.

Let us all reunite in this special day and reminisce all the good time.

Here are the photos that I took:

With GF. See what she is wearing?

All of them are given the pint hat.

Happy St. Patrick's Day.

A group shot of us.

A photographer who took a picture of the 4 of us asked if we are the contestants. She made us so happy, thanks for praising that we have got the contestant look. We will consider joining next year. ♥

With Linda who is first time attending Guinness Live.

With Valentine whom I have not met for quite some times.

Finally a picture with Jason. Mentor for team Dragonfly and the host for the concert. He is very humourous, never failed to make the audience laughed. This is why I loved going to Dragonfly.

Do you think that our attire today is matching?

Celebrating St. Patrick’s Day with the perfect combination of oysters quartet and Guinness Stout.

With Steven. Thanks for all the stout and daught (:

With our little brother, Terence.

With HP. Wooh, seriously everyone is in black today.

Still not full just having oysters, we ordered some finger foods to share.

The power-packed concert kickstart with the individual performance by the 12 Guinness Live artistes.

Team Dragonfly:

Our friend, Yong Wei, is the first to go.

Next up, is

Team Shanghai Dolly:

Last but not least, the winning team

Team Firefly:

Heard so many familiar songs that night. Actually I have seen before all the performance of the 12 contestants, each and everyone of them is awesome!

Not forgetting Queen Band, who is also playing a part in Guinness Live during this 4 months.

Next up is Eric Ng, Music Director of Guinness Live and Producer & Founder, Funkie Monkies Productions, who gives us a speech:

All the Guinness Live participants have come a long way.

Liu Li Yang got her big break after a very similar experience of winning a competition and Power Station has risen to fame as a top notch live act since their beginnings in Taiwan's tough pub scene.

He hopes that with the participation of Power Station and Liu Li Yang in Guinness Live's finale concert, it will boost participants' morale, proving to all the 12 aspiring artistes that with their continued hard work and dedication, one day they can be international superstars themselves.

And the winning team, team Firefly, perform their brand new, yet-to-be-released single with Eric Ng. A great start to enter the competitive Chinese live performing industry.

All right, now is the time where everybody is waiting for:

The international superstar's performance

Liu Li Yang

She brought us 2 of her latest songs - 天后and 旅途.

I love the song , it's so nice!! Go listen when you are free okay?

我嫉妒你的爱　气势如虹

像个人气高居不下的天后

Her singing is great, 很有味道 and her dressing is cool - very 帅气.

A group of Liu Li Yang's fans came down just to support her.

Her charismatic character and soulful vocal had won the heart of many audience out there.

At last, is 动力火车 performance.

This part was funny. Jason was about to introduce the next performance, he said:

我不是动力火车, 我是动力buay tiao.

Lol. Omg, Jason is really humourous.

Power Station 动力火车

Finally, we have them back in Singapore. The Taiwanese rock band is here to rock Dragonfly with their electrifying rock songs.

The duo pair was already popular backs in the 1990's. They were well-known for their very long hair. Surpisingly, Zhi Lin still maintain it well.

I have a deep impression of them. They have won Best Theme Song Award (Chu Lu) from Singapore’s Mediacorp Star Awards. That's my favourite song of them. But sadly, they didn't sing it tonight.

Team Firefly also get the opportunity to perform on stage with 动力火车.

Alfred and Si Ling, together with Power Station presenting: 忠孝东路走九遍

 哦~ 忠孝东路走九遍

脚底下踏著曾经你我的点点

我从日走到夜 心从灰跳到黑

我多想跳上车子离开伤心的台北

I like this particular song by them, the song is very pleasant. If one day I visit Taipei, I must go down to visit 忠孝东路.

Catch up with Meiting, nice seeing her again ♥

Went in to the crowds to find my friends.

A photo with Alfred, Willis and Yong Wei. Can we form the next team for Guinness Live? Lol.

With pretty Regine. Have not catch up with her during the last round of Guinness Live.

It's really so nice seeing everyone again.

Once again, congratulations to all the 12 contestants. You guys have made it through, each and everyone is already a winner. Keep up the good work, you are just one step towards your dream.

Happy St. Patrick's Day.

I have a awesome night watching the great music performance and also the opportunity to catch the well known superstar.

Cheers!

Happening in February - Jack's Place + Guinness Live Round 49 + Singapore Dance Delight Vol. 3 Preliminaries

Wednesday 1/2/12

Meet up with clique on the first day of February for a dinner at Song Fa Bak Kut Teh located at 11 New Bridge Road. That's my second visit to the eatery.

I loved eating you tiao with Bak Kut Teh. I will dipped the fried dough into the soup.

No doubt that their soup and pork ribs are delicious, but I think they need to improve on their service and attitude.

After which, we have a chill out session at St James Beer Garden together with a glass of tiger beer:

Time for a tiger.

Warm ourselves up before heading in the Dragonfly.

Thursday 9/2/12

Old school days night with GF.

We were at Lasalle College of the Arts, sitting at the long bench which resembles those benches back in my primary school time. Missed those times. Er, don't be mistaken by that sentence. I do not miss those studying time but I missed the time that I spent with my friends in school where we had lunch together and having heart to heart talk.

Wednesday 15/2/12

Had my first visit to Breakthrough Cafe, recommended by my colleague. The cafe offers wide varieties of dim sum and local delights in a cozy setting environment which attracted many working it its vicinity at Upper Cross St.

One speciality of the cafe is that Breakthrough Cafe is run by ex-drug addicts who needed employment opportunities where they can further their skills and be better prepared in reintegrating into the society.

We tried their famous homemade Claypot Curry Chicken and dipped it with bread.

Chee Cheong Fun with Char Siew.

The look of it already make me drool, the taste of it is even shiok.

The Fried Dumplings are amazing. When they were being served, I was wondering the fried dumplings looked like frozen dumpling. It seems so hard unlike those I usually had which looked deep fried and oily on the surface.

Saturday 18/2/12

Had my high tea session together with GF at The White Rabbit, a classic European Restaurant & Bar located off the Dempsey area of Singapore.

A very quiet place to relax.

GF and I are meeting up frequently more than usual now.

I'm sorry if I neglected all my other good friends. Quick come arrange a meetup with me soon okay.

Tuesday 21/2/12

Settled down for lunch at Jack's Place.

Soup of the day.

The soup is nice and thick, I liked it.

Having Deep Fried Dory Fillet - crispy and yet soft.

Dessert and tea at long last. 

Never neglect your tummy, eat all you want and live all troubles till tomorrow.

Had my dinner with the usual at Nando's Plaza Singapura again. Seems like we are missing their famous grilled Peri-Peri chicken.

This time round we had the Peri-fect Platters and the famous grilled peri-peri chicken.

Dinner with friends is always awesome - a time where everyone can settle down to enjoy our meal and chit-chat session.

It's Guinness Live night again, so after our dinner. We make our way down to Shanghai Dolly to support Regine as today is her last match.

With the Trio.

Mentor Fatt Zhai warming up the match with his cantonese song.

That electric guitarist from Queen Band.

Today PK match: Regine from team Shanghai Dolly vs Howie from team Firefly.

I was impressed by Howie's second song - 我吃得起苦 by 动力火车

飘洋过海我吃得起苦 相信天无绝人之路

现实有咒诅梦里有祝福 有缘同舟风雨同渡

顶着烈日当空眼底有迷雾 不能再让懦弱困住

日子多坎坷命运有变数 只盼久旱逢甘露

That's a very meaningful and touching song. Howie has sang it great. It has captured the heart of many audience.

Regine brought us great songs that night too - Telephone by Lady Gaga.

Yes, I liked Lady Gaga's song. She is awesome.

As this song required a pair singing. Benita from team Shanghai Dolly team up with Regine for this song, covering her during the chorus.

Both Regine and Howie have put up a tough fight today. And after the voting, Howie has win the match with the score of 89 vs Regine's 84.

Congratulations Howie.

Don't be dishearted, Regine. You have did equally well (:
