Surprise surprise... I used to listen and melt to their love ballads.. To be honest, I am not that familiar with each of the singers individually. I don't even know their names to start of with. I am more of a fan of their songs and their super cheesy to-the-top lyrics that we used to sing along to. Hehe :p 

Sitting through the concert as they serenaded us with their hits from all these years brought back so many good memories that took place during my younger days..

I clearly remember back in the days when me and my crazy gfs in school would belt out tunes like 'I'll Make Love to You' and 'End of the Road' and did role playing as 'guys' and girls in love.. Sigh~~ Funny and silly things we used to do in school.. LOL.. Some of us need to act out as 'guys' since I attended an all-girl school and hence the absence of the male species back in those days.. hehehe.. 

'A Song for Mama' was also aired extensively across TV channels during Mother's Day in one of the years. It was definitely the right choice of song to be served as a dedication to the special woman in our hearts. 

'On Bended Knee' reminded me as one of those favorite break up songs chose in karaoke when you need to 'sob-cry' while howling like a banshee into the microphone.. wailing lyrics like..

 "Can we go back *sob sob* to the days *sniffles* our love was stronggggggg..... *hiccup*...

Can you tell me *blow nose* how a perfect love goes wrongggggggg...."*bawling eyes out*

Yeah yeah.. #truestory but wasn't me.. just a few broken hearted friends.. *cough cough*

We even used 'One Sweet Day' as our Teacher's Day song for one of the years... hehe.. and of course we tweaked the lyrics a little so that it suits our message better.. hehehe..

"and I know you're shining down on us from up there... 
(**teachers were on the upper foyer area)

Like so many friends we gained along the way...

and I know eventually we'll be together.. On Teacher's Day..."

hahahaha... it was so farnie.. the whole school gathered at the quadrangle arena and sang it to our teachers... I'm not even sure if i remembered the distorted lyrics correctly.. but it was something along those lines.. Aaaahhhhh.. sweet memories.. (:

Anyway.. yeah.. that was some time during my junior high school years.. Boyz II Men was around my adolescent period in transition between my early teenage years and yet still around at this point of life. Looking back at their video clips on YouTube.. one can't help but laugh at how cheesy boy bands' MVs were back then.. scenes like singing in the rain.. clutching their wet shirts in sorrow and everyone wearing the same shirts but in different colors??!! hahahaha... i'm still laughing with tears in my eyes as I typed this... BUT.. I can never say that I don't love them.. I love them max!! They were freaking awesome back then and still freaking awesome now! (:

Anyway, I am gonna let the pictures do the talking of that night for me..

the 'sing-alongers' (:

the 'too- cool-to-groove-along' peeps.. Meh!

And the Boyz came out!! Woot woot!! *pheeeeeee-whitttttt*

Only the trios on stage ):

Before going for the concert, I didn't realised that they will only be 3 of them performing. Since back in the days, Boyz II Men has always been a quartet. I lost touch of their news for so long that I didn't know the fact that back in 2003, one of their members, Michael McCary left the group due to health reasons. So sad and I actually feel sorry for them. Hope he gets well soon. 

So now, there are only Nathan Morris, Wanya Morris and Shawn Stockman left in the group. Nonetheless, they still sound amazing!!

Oh Yeah!! Motown Philly's back again!!

It was SOLD-OUT concert!

Still grooving like nobody's business.. hell yeah~

another crowd favorite- 4 Seasons of Loneliness

Sweet charmers~~

Concert goers of that night!
L-R: Yosh, Lex, Moi, Tah and Coolguy

And here I'll end my post with a vain pic of me possibly being the new 4th member of the famous R & B vocal group. But then, that just means the Boyz II Men need to change their group name to something else... Fret not! I've already thought of it!! What do you guys think of the below:

• Boyz II Men and Hot Babe!
• Boyz II Woman
• PINKPheng and her Men

HAHAHahahaha... just kidding alrite.. dun bite my head off just yet!! :p

Please kindly ignore my security guard standing at the far left..
he was just protecting me from being mobbed by my fans..

    

Hahahaha... ignore my silliness.. was just being silly and random.. anyway.. I promise to write more soon once my busy period is over.. till then.. here's one of my favorites from both Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men performing 'One Sweet Day'. Enjoy!! (:
