連續五六首快歌使我們愈跳愈high，熱情完全沒有辦法退下來。到了<告訴你 >，全首歌基本上都是大合唱。綺貞把咪高峰遞向台下的滿足神情，讓我們更加渴望向老師展現我們的忠實，於是叫得更加大聲。當心怡很帥的撥著<我的驕傲無可救藥>的前奏，我已經不能循正常途徑用G9拍到任何acceptable的照片了。然後我乾脆放下G9，全程叫喊著歌詞，跟得得一起跳。我整個人全心全身都投入在歌曲中，瘋狂尖叫瘋狂蹦跳，腦袋完全沒有想到其他事情。This is exactly what I want for a concert.幸好向來在方氏鴨仔團訓練有素，因此無止境的呼喊、拍手，完全不成問題。而且，我發現梆梆棒只是給那種坐著看的concert。從頭到尾我都是用自己的手自己的腳自己的聲音，跟綺貞交流的，沒有倚賴過外物。
老師很喜歡放整晚最高潮在最尾的部份，之後呢，就是假encore了。誰都知道綺貞第一首encore一定是<旅行的意義>，還是戴著安全帽出來那種。三首假encore後，綺貞又再出來，說只要我們願意的話，她也願意一直唱下去。<和你在一起>的背景動畫，是一封封groupie寫給綺貞老師她的信，實在太溫暖了。看到信中有很多那種家常的內容，就是談生活的快樂和挫折。綺貞老師她每一封都有留著。最後大屏幕寫著：「a piece of cheer. a piece of
you」，連我這個年資尚淺的groupie也被感動了。什麼是「錫蕃」？這就是「錫蕃」。
唱完之後老師還是回去了，得得和我都不甘心。我知道在這種encore時段也不會聽到<女明星>了，就轉投<小步舞曲>懷抱。我們大叫賴死不走，總之不唱<小步舞曲>就在Star Hall睡吧。還是同一個策略：羊群心理；總之一定要維持著氣氛，不住起哄。最後又真的給我們騙了多兩首歌：<小步舞曲>和<每天都是一種新的練習>，老師還說其實她比我們更想繼續下去。我們三個實在high，不停隨節奏揮動著手，然後老師竟然也揮手跟我們say hi！太感動了！By the way我們竟然encore了七次，由廿二首變成三十首！
proves how right I was to decorate here almost like a campaign
site, in the beginning of the year.
There was a two-second pause
with my mouth simply open, after hearing the news from G. I was stunned. We all
witnessed the history. And like what the latest issue of Newsweek says, the
world has never watched any vote in any nation so closely – the world hopes for its first president.
Well I admit I’m just an
ordinary 15-year-old student. I admit I don’t pay much attention to the
policies or the practical solutions for the crises, at least, much less than
that I pay to his appealing speeches. Beautiful words and phrases easily move
me. Yes I guess I’m a fanatic of orators. (I always say that if I were born in
the time of Hitler, Mussolini, Lenin or Mao, I would probably be a zealot of
them)
Anyway I believe in charisma. And you can never deny it’s an enormous part
of any outstanding presidency or leadership. Obama has got so much of that - “There’s
not a liberal America, or a conservative America. It’s the United States of America. There’s not a black America, or a white America, or a Latino America, or an Asian America. It’s the
United States of America.”, said in the speech for Kerry’s campaign in 2004.
History tells us not every
president in the past got this key to win his people’s trust. Kennedy, Reagan
and Clinton are probably the very rare examples. I believe Obama will be the forth example, especially in a time which
acutely needs unity and faith.
Though I’ve always been told not to be too enthusiastic to
political leaders, I whole-heartedly believe in Obama, the one to show hope and
solutions to the world. Perhaps this is what he means “the audacity of hope”.
p.s. Obama's victory speech in Chicago
"The road ahead will be long. Our climb will be steep. We may not get
there in one year or even one term, but America - I have never been
more hopeful than I am tonight that we will get there. I promise you -
we as a people will get there."
"Tonight we proved once more that the true strength of our nation comes
not from our the might of our arms or the scale of our wealth, but from
the enduring power of our ideals: democracy, liberty, opportunity, and
unyielding hope."
