3 days to Sg Concert

David sounded really good on Yes933, vry dreamy, such a sexy voice. He will not only have the rainforest stage but helicopter as well. Thought it was an Asian rainforest but actually he had in mind the South American rainforest in Raiders of the Lost Ark. Nvr seen it but always thought it was set in a desert. Anyway it was just part of being environmentally aware as the rainforests of the world are shrinking at an alarming rate.
David also recorded 2 new VCRs just for the Spore concert. The tickets 80% sold with only $168 & $138 left. David assured that no matter where the seats, the audience will able to enjoy both sight & sound of the concert. After discussing the concert, the dj asked what r the things that annoy him & make him afraid. He said he can be afraid of roaches that fly I think cos I suddenly realised dun know what roaches sound like in chinese. But I guess its roaches cos he did mention they were coffee colored. It was funny cos when he said he dun really wanna kill them but had no choice, I suddenly remembered one can buy contraceptive for roaches in Sydney to prevent them from mutiplying. Then suppose still have to live with the existing ones till they died from old age, not a vry pleasant thought. Make me homesick for Sydney esp this time of the yr where walking past the greengrocer which had pine trees for sale, the smell of Christmas.
Sry if I dun sound too excitable as trying to avoid the pain of not being at the concert this Sat. Life can be so unfair maybe destined nvr to see him in person. But as Wislawa Szymborska wrote:
Such certainty is beautiful, but uncertainty is more beautiful still
So I will definitely be there in spirit to support David. Below really nice feature in ST Life Section, love the title, David's diary getting more & more famous as even the dj @ 933 mentioned it as well ^__^

David Tao wishes he has more time for his blog. The Hong Kong-born singer has been lagging behind in his monthly entries on his official website www.davidtao.com. The last post was dated Oct 26.
Fans would not blame him for that, as he has been travelling for his Love Can World Tour 2005.
The Singapore leg, which will be held on Saturday at the Singapore Indoor Stadium, is his third stop after Shanghai and Beijing.
About 80 per cent of the seats are taken. Tickets priced at $78 and 108 are sold out leaving only those at $138 and $168 available.
On his online journal, Tao updates his fans about his life. Most of his entries are random thoughts about his work as an entertainer, his cat Malau and his penchant for cars.
In a recent phone interview with Life!, Tao gushes about the benefits of blogging: "It is a great, personal way to communicate. I can talk about my thoughts directly to my fans."
Most importantly, Tao hopes to give his take on speculative reports by the Taiwanese paparazzi. In his Sept 21 blog post, he lashed out at the tabloids, which had run pictures of him kissing two women other than his girlfriend, known only to the media as Joanne. He compared the Taiwanese media to German propagandists during the Nazi regime.
In a more recent run-in with the paparazzi, his private conversation with his manager was recorded secretly and used out of context. Tao says he has given up trying to clear the air.
"The media scene has become one that just revolves around unsubstantiated gossips and rumours. It is really unacceptable now," he laments. "I no longer care to retaliate or answer to them."
But Tao clarifies that the pecks for the women were merely 'goodbye kisses', and his relationship with Joanne remains strong.
Asked if the state of things has made him want to hasten his dream as a movie director, he says that he hopes to be one before the age of 40. He laughs and reveals that he is already thinking about a script.
"I have started to write some things for the movie I want to do, but it won't be that soon. Maybe after my ongoing concert tour, and my new album, scheduled to be out next year."
Tao promises the show on Saturday will be a visual treat. Sets and props will transform the stage into a South American jungle, complete with a life-size replica of a helicopter. He hopes his concert will raise awareness for social and environmental issues such as pollution and conservation.
He declines, however, to say if Joanna will be attending the show in Singapore.
Still, he just might let fans know when he updates his blog.
David Tao Love Can World Tour 2005 will be held this Saturday at 8pm at the Singapore Indoor Stadium. Tickets priced at $78 and $108 have been sold out. Those at $138 and $168 are available from Sistic (tel: 6348 5555)
