Peachey did a great blog: Year 2008 in review.
After reading her blog, I went to look through my blog entries of 2008 and I guess 2008 wasn't such a bad year.
I can only hope that the excitement will keep coming this year, 2009.

Remembering Anita Mui
Thursday, Jan 1, 2009 2:39AM / Members only
December 30, 2008: It has been five years since Anita Mui's death. I still remember the day when I heard this news. Actually it was a friend who found out first and sent me a message. Then I turned on the radio and they were already on air remembering Anita Mui's career. December 30, 2003 rained all day, as I remembered. That night on the Chinese headline news reported on Anita's death. This news still came to me with shock even though I knew she was battling cancer.
Yesterday, I spent the day remembering Anita. I was very honored to have attended her concert in Oakland in 2002. She is an incredible performer, she really knows how to get the audience on their feet. The concert lasted for 3 hours, which is rare for an overseas concert which usually only lasts for 2 hours. There were two encores that night. Both times she had all her dancers on stage with her, including her choreographer and guest performers: Grasshopper and Samuel Pang. During the second encore, half of her dancers including Edmond So from the Grasshopper jumped down to dance with the audience. It was pretty fun and crazy!
It was too bad that back in 2002, I was still using my film camera. And film wasn't cheap, so I didn't snap a lot of pictures. And actually half way through the concert, I was stopped by security; telling me no flash photography was allowed. But luckily at the time I knew this professional photographer who was there and he developed some pictures for me to keep.
The following year, 2003, Anita announced that she was diagnosed with cancer. While battling cancer she still managed to perform her final concert for eight nights. There were still news that she would go to Las Vegas with Eason Chan in November for a concert tour. But it was later announced that the concert was postponed due to her health issues. The concert never happened.
So I am very glad that I got to see her perform in 2002. It is definitely a concert I will never forget. Anita Mui is an amazing artist.Remembering Anita Mui...
