I saw Sandy tonight and I am so excited! Sandy Lam is my all-time favorite female singer. I always say she’s my singing mentor even though we have never met and she for sure does not know me… :p But I started listening to her music since grade 6 in primary school. I own almost each one of her earlier albums-Cantonese, Mandarin Chinese, Japanese, English–I developed the foundation of my singing techniques by imitating her style and I think I have found myself a great first singing mentor.

Her performance tonight was absolutely wonderful. Even though the venue was at most 70% full, I am sure each and every one in the audience was touched by her sincerity, her beautiful voice and her amazing stage presence. The production was also very good-the lighting, the music arrangement, the choreography and the costume design were all very well done. Can’t believe there wasn’t more promotion done for this great show!! and at the end of the show, because of the crowd’s passionate and heated response, Sandy sang 2 more songs after the usual encore session. The entire audience just migrated to the front of the room and I got to see Sandy up close! It was also a great sight to watch when each one of the audience stood up to join Sandy for the dance song medleys.

What a great way to spend a Sunday night. Tomorrow I am leaving for Tokyo to visit my buddies from Keio days… Can’t wait.
