Counting Down to Taking Chances

In a few more days, I will be attending Celine Dion's Taking Chances concert. It will be my first ever concert experience since most well known artistes' concerts are not held in smaller cities like Penang and Perth! I would love to go to MJ's History Tour back in KL in 1991 (too young then), Bee Gees (with all 3 brothers prior to Maurice's, who's always with the hat, untimely passing in Jan 2003) when they toured Australia few years back (but I wasn't in Aus), The Corrs and Jacky Cheung's Snow Wolf Lake Tour.

Anyway, it's never too late to have my another first and the title Taking Chances too coincides!
Don't know much about your life.
Don't know much about your world, but
Don't want to be alone tonight,
On this planet they call earth.

You don't know about my past, and
I don't have a future figured out.
And maybe this is going too fast.
And maybe it's not meant to last,

But what do you say to taking chances,
What do you say to jumping off the edge?
Never knowing if there's solid ground below
Or hand to hold, or hell to pay,
What do you say,
What do you say?

I just want to start again,
And maybe you could show me how to try,
And maybe you could take me in,
Somewhere underneath your skin?

What do you say to taking chances,
What do you say to jumping off the edge?
[Taking Chances lyrics on http://www.metrolyrics.com]

Never knowing if there's solid ground below
Or hand to hold, or hell to pay,
What do you say,
What do you say?

And I had my heart beaten down,
But I always come back for more, yeah.
There’s nothing like love to pull you up,
When you’re laying down on the floor there.
So talk to me, talk to me,
Like lovers do.
Yeah walk with me, walk with me,
Like lovers do,
Like lovers do.

What do you say to taking chances,
What do you say to jumping off the edge?
Never knowing if there's solid ground below
Or hand to hold, or hell to pay,
What do you say,
What do you say?

Don’t know much about your life
And I don’t know much about your world.

Unfortunately, cameras and any recording tools are explicitly not allowed. Big bags need to be kept in cloak room and all bags will be required for search upon request.

On another note, I will be heading back to join my parents on a family trip to Xian! It's our 4th trip to China but obviously they have always been different parts/regions of China. The past trips were Beijing-Tianjin-Chengde, Shanghai-Wuxi-Suzhou-Hangzhou-Nanjing-Hengtian, Sichuan's Chengdu-JiuZhaiGou-HuangLong-ErMeiShan-MianYang. This trip will be Xian-Lingbao-Luoyang-Dengfeng-Kaifeng-Zhengzhou.

I can hardly wait for the concert and my 2nd trip back to Penang! The family holiday and trip back Penang would most probably be my last overseas trip til Jan 2009.
