Smoke on the Water

Deep Purple is coming to perform at the Genting Arena of Stars on May 16. It is part of the legendary band’s Asia/Australia tour 2010. I haven’t heard of them for ages. I used to be be crazy over their music and played their songs right out loud. Until one day a lady called Ah Phong or was it Ah Imm who came over to my house and told me I was supposed to enjoy the music and not to entertain the whole neighbourhood.

Long Piau Piau – Fu Xin De Ren

I read that in conjunction with the Penang International Line Dance Carnival, renowned Taiwan artist Long Piao Piao will host a concert from 8pm to 9.30pm on the 21st of November. How many of you can forget her trademark voice?

How I wish I could attend that concert! If some Penang bloggers attend her concert, I hope they will post videos of her concert- A Grateful Heart concert. I would be ever so grateful.

My favorite is Fu Xin De Ren Fu Xin De Ren or loosely translated as changed heart or heart traitor is a song about hopeless unrequited love. How extreme love is soon followed by feelings of hatred and regret for waiting and hoping for too long.

Another Long Piao Piao song : about a man she loved, she lost and she cannot get him back.

Chinese Yueju Opera- Dream of Red Chamber

I hurt myself in a fall. No excuses really, I saw what wasn’t there due to my new bifocals. They are now scratched but not broken. Still usable, thank goodness. It wasn’t too bad at first. Nothing that some painkillers couldn’t heal. But after a nap, I couldn’t get out of bed. Mrs BB had to be hauled in to lift me up like a sack of potatoes. The back is often taken for granted. I am alright now of course unless I lie down. Once I lie down, I have a problem in getting up again.

A bit of background. A friendly man. He is very gentle when handling his cat. He is a fisherman and upon his return, the cat is always there waiting for bounty from his fishing trips. The man is also skillful with a knife to make fish fillet etc etc etc.

Green Acres : do you still remember it? TV as it was 43 years ago complete with commercials. Compare commercials of the sixties with present day commercials. TV was white and black then, didn’t you know? :)

How many of you still remember Green Acres, Eddie Albert and Eva Gabor. Great clean entertainment of another generation for most of you younger bloggers :) Btw, did you enjoy the short comedy clip?

Wedding dinners are wonderful occasions. We have to dress in our best clothing and put on a front. Look. We are a beautiful family. Everybody sits around a round table and enjoys a wonderful dinner. What can go wrong?

Nothing, right? Watch these videos of Phu Chua Kang and family at a wedding dinner. Enjoy :P

Joe Jonas dances to Single Ladies and the top 20 album sellers of the 2000s

Saw this cute video where Joe Jonas lost some kind of bet here, or he’s just never one to pass up a dare from the brotherly trio’s fans. Either that, or this famously purity-ring-wearing pop star has taken Beyonce’s “Put A Ring On It” line way too much to heart.

Mrs BB brought this clip to my attention so I decided to add it to this post of the top 20 album sellers of the 2000s. Mrs BB gushed, ” He is so awesome that it becomes cute. Justin Timberlake pales in comparison :D .” What do you ladies think? Anyway whatever his motivation , it is entertainment. :)

Talking about entertainment, seven of the top 20 album-selling acts so far in the 2000s are country, six are rock, four are pop and three are rap.
