Concert of the Hong Kong Four Heavenly Kings

Andy Lau, one of the most active of the Four Hong Kong Heavenly Kings, arrived in Malaysia to promote its Vision Tour concert on the 10 December 2005 at Stadium Merdeka. As advertised in radio channels, this would be a biggest event ("Lung Zhung Yan Bao!") as he will never ever perform any concerts anymore. We booked the seat at RM350 for the 24th row of front seats right facing straight the stage. Only a great long time fan can get this kind of seats. Well, our principle of watching concerts is - near or never. Our position of taking pictures was perfect!

It was raining heavily in the afternoon, glad it stopped at 7 plus evening before the concert started. Otherwise, no pics for anyone. We arrived at 5 plus and parked the car 10 seconds from the entrance. kewl ya! =o) I managed to take as many pics as I could, but unfortunate event happened. Scroll on.



Look at the PEeeepLE!

Reached our wired plastic seats at 8 pm and discovered they are all wet! Surprisingly, the management gave free tissues to help ourselves with that problem.


I was thinking what was that all about? The stage was so simple!



It suddenly blackout


Damn.its actually the door! and it opened


WooOo.. open up


The spotlights....Pain in the eyes


Ting! (I just put a lil sound effect. Actually there was no sound)


There's the King of Heaven, with his favourite pose


Dancing and singing


Suddenly...............


After the smoke faded, they were squating, unable to spot Andy Lau's position


There they are again


Yeah. Bring it on Wah Chai (Lil Wah)


Tempo slowing and slowing

Poooom.. Smokey again and fuhhhh... the ultimate Andy Lau branding pose seen in the middle of mist:


Yeah!


The projection has lyrics on it. So I knew it was a Karaoke concert


Andy then told us he has got a moustache already, we can call him Leng Chai Wah (Handsome Wah), he wouldn't mind. And therefore some of the guys were screaming Leng Chai Wah! Leng Chai Wah!

In the middle of his songs....

Narnia lion came out! Nah.. its white. I wonder there's white lion in this world? I know there's white tiger

The lion then wandered around the stage, being so tame to Andy Lau. At times I noticed the lion suddenly shook its head, and shook its butt while walking..


Roar! *Shake head* *Shake head* Roar!


Cobra. Nice!


Roman theme


Andy holding on his beautiful chick. Others playing white clothes

In the middle of everything, I noticed something blinking on my camera screen. LOW BATT struck me! I tried to conserve as much power as I could for the remaining hours, so I took one pic on every change of background/theme or something special.


Background was extraordinary. Rome at dusk and dancer doing acrobatic moves on a big banana

And the camera just gave up like that. It died. I tried to pump the on button again and again. It didn't respond. I missed out the Chinese traditional opera theme and the fake horse Andy was riding on. The background was full of red lanterns and the entire stage was red as well. Unfortunately, the camera was pronounced RIP.

After some time passed, I switched on the camera, and the lights turned green but without graphics on the screen. I just shoot at the scene and voila, my very last pic of the day, without zoom and night settings:


Typical Hong Kong entertainment show

Andy was smart. He knew we would shout him out for encore, just like we did to his counterpart Leo Ku concert in Genting last couple of months ago. He expressed his happiness and glad for us supporting him for so long, and remembering him, and so he gave us fireworks as a gift to us as his fans. We all looked up and he was the first to run backstage, followed by his dancers moments later. The timing was very nice that the door closed after the fireworks finished. We shouted for encore, and we looked at the big red door sealed so tight, we lost mood to call for encore. The spirit died instantly.

So the last Andy Lau concert ended with everyone felt contented. So am I.
