After the concert things have definitely picked up.
I've decided to train with dad in his kung-fu routines. Its total madness, but a great way to keep in shape. I almost died the first day and had to get revived. hahahah.
I'm back to workin' on a project that requires me to review thousands of vidoes. I guess you could think of it like a youtube site, but the videos have to go through a group which includes me. It sounds fun, but its wayyyyy too time consuming. The max for me is like 70 videos a day which includes timing the load screen and logging it all into a report. Hours go by like minutes.
Besides that, I had the honor to direct Ryan's next music video...not one but two!!
However, this time around I decided to bring a very small team to help, thanks to AnD or else I'd be on my own:
We're in the middle of pre-production and gearin' up to film back to back. Don't worry, I'm whipping someones ass if one of them screws up.
Imagine you took a blender, stuck Ryan Hui , me, Rob, Vince, Derrick and Simon inside. Then Patrick Cheung a.k.a Mr.ass comes along and swtiches us on.
Can you guys guess what will come out???
What color would we come out as?
Well, my mind kinda feels and sounds like this right now just trying to catch up on all emails, ideas and details:
The shows are finally over. The feedback has been incredible. Some are saying the show was by far the best in my dads career. He sang songs straight through starting at 830 p.m and ending close to 1130.
Several more shows have been announced, but its secret for now. The only complaint was Ryan and my part was too short! Well, it is dads show, so we just support him as much as we can. At the age of 61 he can still pull in a full house with an attendance of nearly 16,000 each night. That's amazing.
I've gathered a bunch of pics from fans/friends/family. I'll upload a huge amount tomorrow in the album, so for now enjoy these pics.
Thanks to all the family and friends that came to support. Thanks to my singing teacher for opening a part of my throat and stomach I never knew existed. Thanks to Justin/patty chow for all the backstage nastiness. Thanks for Mr.Ass and creepkin for the hardwork. Thanks to Ida for taking care of me.
Since our part was small, I did my best to pull off as much energy as I could. I almost killed myself a few times, but in the end just ended up with bruised knees and swollen ankle thats still healing.
Great article from East Weekly. They mentioned when we are all together on stage, we are one family with one heart and not even having the biggest guest can compare to our lethal combination..ok the last 2 words are exaggerated.
The newspapers everday had some very nice write up. Dad was always in good shape and never was ill or going to die like they reported before.
Dad dedicated a song for Mom which he wrote way back in the day "carnation for Rebu".
Ida got mentioned quite a lot in the papers as my dad explained to the crowd this was her favorite song:
We also got harassed alot about our upcoming wedding. Seems everybody knows, but we're married already...or our we?...mua hahahhaa.
While the whole show was a success it was unfortunate that one person passed away just before the show started. A middle aged woman was taken to the hospital after not feeling well sitting in her seat and passed away. Treasure and cherish one another folks....
Enjoy these pics for now, don't forget, tomorrow, many, many more:
The trio.
Lettin my voice be heard.
Ryan and I were told to use these lollipops on stage....umm yea.
Ok, I have the story on my guitar. Yes, I did use the guitar from guitar hero. Our part was a combination of singing 2 songs together. I really had nothing else to do, so I figured I can play along with the family. Thanks Xbox...do I get a new free one now after smashing it on stage??
Sometimes I do this pose at home when Justin is screwing up on a zombie level in Call of Duty the videogame.
UPDATE: Thanks to Chung for sendin me this article from The Standard:
If you can't read it: Hong Kong took to Samuel Hui when he first broke into showbiz with his winning smile and good looks. Forty years on that flame burns birght. The 'God of Song' thrilled packed houses at Hong Kong Coliseum over four nights last week. He maybe 61, but then isn't youth and age like Half Catty and Eight Taels, the title of his immortal song.
01. Fans reach out as Hui dishes out towels with his signature leopard print; 02 The King is dead, long live the king, Hong Kong's Elvis; 03 Hui and Song Ryan play backup as younger son Scott belts out a number; 04 Model Coco shows who her hero is witha a sexy outift.
Hey man - funny running into you at Zuma! (i was the other guy dressed up as Russell) A couple AnD guys dropped me a note and said you did the same costume so I thought i'd drop you a note to say whatsup. I guess great minds think alike? Hope you had a good one.
but i heard the japanese release of bayonetta for xbox360 is region coded so i can't play it regardless. that's why i'm gonna have to wait it out for the american release. and i've heard the mass criticism over the ps3 version so definitely won't be picking that out. i've played the demo, tho!
heheh...finally picked up 'tekken 6' on ps3.
to be honest, i haven't bought any ps3 games since street fighter 4. been well over 8 months since i made any purchases for ps3. now that is wack!!! i'm pretty sure i'll be checking out the god of war collection, uncharted and the eventual god of war 3. but other than that, i think i am more of a xbox kinda guy.
and despite hearing that english vocals and text being in the jap. version coming this week, i ain't gonna get the japanese ps3 release of bayonetta. heard the xbox version is better by a long margin..
just remembered i did a video game style mv , posted in 2007!!

oh man you got me thinking now, ryan hui mv in the style of left 4 dead, featuring patrick chow as a Boomer, simon yin as Zoe, Michael wong as the Tank!! its a win, win Idea!!
oh yeah...the reason i also asked about compatibility over the guitar hero and rock band controllers is because i heard they weren't back when "guitar hero: world tour" came out.
Then I think I will just get the guitar-only package of "The Beatles: Rock Band". My room would only get over-crowded if I paid for the full package (drum set and all). On the other hand, I don't really wanna get rid of the PS3 version of Guitar Hero 3....i downloaded so many free DLC's for that game.
I've been seriously trying to look for a good deal on Rock Band equipment for the Xbox360. Ya think the Guitar Hero controller is gonna work for Rock Band? Cuz if it is, I might just get The Beatles: Rock Band for PS3 instead since I got Guitar Hero 3 for PS3 (and I had it brand new for about $49.99 Canadian!)
Cheers Scottie, glad you liked the vid! you appear a few times in it, you have a Scottie video game mag on the mag stand, a pacman font sign, and somewhere in the city scene you actually have your own arcade!!
Ha yeah sure i'd do you a mv, but a collab' between us, would mean a 3 min mv of nothing but video game and mario references, which actually would be pretty damn sweet!!
dearest scottie
yeah(: see u soon too
hope we can see each other in macua
do SAM's concert will hold in macua?
I really miss the concert very much!!!
crystal :D
