Motif No. 12/25 - Sharon's Challenge Snowflake and the Wynners 33rd Anniversary Concert

This is my attempt using the snowflake picture posted on Sharon's blog on 3 Jul 08. I'll count it as Motif No. 12 for the 25 Motif Challenge too.

I used the blue outline. I guessed most of us see the butterflies, so I tatted butterflies as close to the outline as possible. Tatted with Manuela 20 thread, it measured 9.5 cm in diameter. Tried my best, but there is inconsistencies in the tension of the dimpled rings - not easy to control when the bigger dimpled ring is 52 ds. Actually, my earlier Snowflake Meme was also designed based on a snowflake picture, I find this method easier!

19 Jul 08 (Sat) - The Wynners held their 33rd Anniversary Concert 2008 in the Singapore Indoor Stadium to near full capacity of 7500. Sitting in the centre on the 5th row from the stage, my mother and I were part of the crowd, and had good view of our idols, Alan Tham and Kenny Bee. Coincidently, my colleague, Fiona and sisters, also separately got tickets there and were some 10 seats away from me in front. And in the next seat to mine, a guy in his 40s, was cheering so loudly for Alan the whole night! A lot of flower bouquets, a lot of cheering, a lot of jokes and laughter, a lot of songs (50!) and clapping to the tunes in the 3 hours! Besides the noisy guy beside me, an old man in front of me (yes, he's really old with a full head of white hair and wrinkled hands) stood up from his seat and waved both hands feebly to the music too! All had a good time!

Kenny Bee in action!

Alan Tham singing solo, and still so dashing in white, despite apparently gaining quite a bit of weight!

Anthony Chan drumming away to 2 songs via satellite in Britain.

Took some video clips too with the digital cam, effect isn't great, but still can see and hear a little bit!

Joey's Myopia Poster and Wynners Coming to S'pore in July

My 2nd child, Joey who is in Primary 3 this year, came back from school on Friday with the assignment to do a poster on the topic of myopia. Well, she came up with the drafts and we then worked the poster using QuicKutz die cuts mainly.

The final poster, done mainly using QuicKutz die cuts, including the latest border die.


And, today is the first day of ticket sales for the Wynners 33 Anniversary World Tour 2008 to be held in the S'pore Indoor Stadium on 19 Jul. Just bought 2 Category 1 tickets - the 5th row from the stage! I'm so excited, but it's still a long wait to D-day.

A bit about the Wynners - it is a Hong Kong pop band formed in the 1970s. The five-piece is made up of Alan Tam (vocals), Kenny Bee (vocals), Bennett Pang (guitar), Danny Yip (bass guitar) and Anthony Chan (drums). In 1978, members of the group went separate ways to develop their solo careers. Alan Tam and Kenny Bee become two of the most popular stars in Hong Kong in the 1980s. Never formally disbanded, the Wynners have reunited on stage every five years to sold-out crowds. I believe the 33rd anniversary concerts are first held in Hong Kong in Feb 2007 and also in Malaysia in end-Dec 2007.
