Sex Bomb! Sex Bomb!

Ok, so I'm not that old ok. But when I got a chance to see the famous Tom Jones perform, I couldn't refuse the offer. I never knew who he was until I got hold of one of his CDs. The one where he had duets with many younger singers. I thought for an old dude he seemed really active and he still had a strong voice! Plus his songs were nice to listen to and dance to. I told mum that I was going to go see Tom Jones and she laughed. Didn't think that I knew who Tom Jones even was! Hah!

Well anyhoo, there I was with a few other friends - one who knew who Tom Jones is and the other was there coz well, it was a free concert - why not check out who this guy is. We got to the venue and it was raining cats and dogs. We were worried that we would be soaking wet coz the seats we had were actually in the open air section - no roof!! Luckily with some sweet talking we were allowed to sit in the area that was covered.

The opening act was by Etta James. I'm not sure who she is. I know she's famous but the only song I recognized was At Lastt. Love that song so much I used it for one of the clips we put together and presented at one of the wedding reception. But we used the version sung by Celine Dion.

Anyway, the three of us had fun watching the kind of people that were there at the concert. All the makcik-makcik (older ladies) looked so excited. There were a few young people our age too. One guy sounded like he was from England and was sitting behind us. He kept telling his friends that they'd be tapping their foot to the songs later on. Guess the others didn't know who Tom Jones was either. haha. Once the concert started we danced and sang our hearts out. Ok, it was a bit icky watching this old guy move his hips and pulling up his shirt to show his chest but the makcik-makcik loved it! Panties were being thrown onto the stage from different angles. Women in their 50s and above were shaking their tush to the songs. Even the men were grabbing their wives for a dance. Watching the audience was as entertaining as watching the performer on stage!

We left with high spirits and laughed our way back home. I was glad to have friends to enjoy the outing with. Being away from my home country, I sometimes wish I could have the strong friendship I have with my friends back in KL. Those friendships have lasted all through secondary school and into our late 20s. It's harder to do that here coz most of the locals here have their own sets of friends (just like I would have my own set of friends in KL). The international students at the university are a good bunch to hang out with but most of them leave to work elsewhere. So you're close for a few months and then you don't see them again. I'll have to see how it goes for me once I finish school. We're probably staying on coz hubby is setting up that business here. So ideally I'd like to build a friendship with someone who will be staying on here too.
