Concert: Do As Infinity Singapore 23 Sept 2017, Capitol Theatre


After 18 years, Do As Infinity finally makes their mark overseas with a tour outside of Japan.  This year, we see them travelling from Mexico City, Argentina, Brazil, Chile before crossing over to Indonesia and Singapore. 

With hits like , "Yesterday and Today", "Shinjitsu no Uta", 

They first started out in 1999 with members Ryo Owatari(guitar), Dai Nagao and Tomiko Van (vocals), disbanded in 2005 and returned as a duo with Ryo and Tomiko on 2008.

The venue
Approximately 95 people attended for VIP ( there were 97 pictures for the meet and greet, with 2 of it from the sponsors), the rest are for the general admission.


The concert 
The organizers didn't utilize the side speaker. Only the front speakers were working. The organizers didn't fully utilize the 2 screens, and they only serve as props. So basically, if you're at the far back, you can't see much of their faces. 
I realized that Tomiko Van's voice is unusually different from what I've heard on CDs and live. ( I guess, quality of voice does have an effect when you age). 

Things you should not do in a concert. Bring your own chair and not tidying up after. 

During the concert, at least have the decency to put the chair back so that other patrons will be able to use the space. We all paid the same money, what entitles you for some extra space for the chair. It's too rude! ( General Admission Section B Free Standing, rightmost corner of the venue). Obviously, turned off by this people who does not know etiquette and who does think that they are entitled to it. I don't see you carrying any cane or pregnant. You're one able bodied guy who doesn't have the stomach to stand for a 2 hour concert.

Guide to Terminating NTUC Membership (SG)

Image
Yes, we all fall for that trick of cash rebates and promotions that once you signed up, you kind of forget about why we signed up for it in the first place. It doesn't add value and it all adds up to the monthly expense.  I am writing because the website in no way explained when/where you can terminate the membership even though I've read all the terms and condition on the website. As a warning as long as the card remain active, you still owe them some money for the membership. Non-payment or termination of GIRO does not constitute termination of the membership. You have to personally write them an email or call their hotline. Why am I terminating? Because I am not using it anymore and it's not really beneficial for me. I only go to the grocery store but not go to NTUC member affiliated shops to shop, attend class. I don't fully utilize benefits . The cash rebates will only count on the following year. The link points redemption (and can only be redeemed in

How To Apply Canadian Tourist Visa in Singapore

Image
As I was rummaging through my files, I've noticed that I've forgotten to write about visa application to Canada as a tourist. Being a passport holder from a third-world country, I have to present documents to show that I am indeed going to go to that country just for the holidays. I also need to show them that I have the intention of going back to our home country after the holidays. People can thank their lucky stars for being born in a first world country. The number of countries to travel are infinite, provided that you have the financial means to do so.                             So, what are the requirements to apply for a tourist visa in Canada ( for people living in Singapore): 1. Accomplished form Details relating to your family as well as start of employment, salary, are asked. This is a very detailed form. 2. Supporting document ( Family information ) 3. Documents to upload/print: Plane ticket ( reservation) Hotel booking   Photocopy of Cu

How to Apply for a Schengen Visa (in Singapore)

Image
So you've decided to go to Europe. Congratulations! But because you are a citizen of a third world country, you need to apply for a visa.  But fret not! I will teach you the ways and means of applying for a Schengen Visa ( Although I am not a pro, but this is based on my experience on how I applied for one. )  First things first, when do you want to go? What countries do you want to go? Point 1:  Selecting the Visa Center It is important to take note of the countries to go because it would decide where you will apply.  The rule is that: You will apply the visa at the embassy of the member country where you will be staying the longest. If dates are the same, you will need to apply the visa at the embassy of the member country at point of entry.  For my case, I've decided that I would be going around Central Europe ( Netherlands, Switzerland, Italy, Germany ) and I chose to do my visa application at Vfsglobal - The Netherlands.
