O Battery, Where Art Thou

I always feel that the battery to my gadgets die at the most inappropriate times. For example, my first time at the Great Wall, my camera decided it was time to take a break. I, on the other hand, did not think so and resorted to using my bottom to warm up the battery pack. The result was a photo of the camel that resides at the top of the Wall that apparently "keeps away the rabbits".

Another moment when my battery died was at the Beyonce concert and Katie Holmes, accompanied by the adorable Suri Cruise was only several meters away! So with the ailing Nikon, I captured this...

Where's Katie?

(White beret, striped dress, black jacket)

Don't even ask where Suri is. I was not happy my little pocket camera did not live up to it's duties.

So then came Britney and I made sure that the battery was fully charged and here is what I got... 

Gone are the days when an 8 megapixel camera was "Oh so cool". Unless you have a fat fat machine hanging off your neck, it's hard to photograph anything amazing. The SLRs make the little ones look like camera phones now *sigh*.

Crazy In Love...

I am crazily in love with Beyonce! 24 hours earlier, she was in the U.S attending the MTV awards where Kanye stole Taylor Swift's moment claiming the award belonged to Beyonce. The rather diplomatic bombshell later returned Taylor her moment by inviting her on stage when she won an award to allow her to finish what she had started. Twitter was immediately filled with Kanye/Taylor related tweets.

24 hours later Beyonce was shaking her booty at Rod Laver. She was hot hot hot! Need I say more?

Her opening acts (Jess Mabuoy and Flo-Rider) were the best opening acts I'd seen here in Australia.

Just moments before the stunner strutted out on stage, we spotted Kate and Suri Cruise entering the VIP section behind the mixing desk. Suri, as expected, was super adorable and Kate was a friendly, laid-back celebrity waving and takin

g photos with fans. 

I have moments where I wonder how Beyonce does it. I know she is a celebrity with lots of money and lots of helpers but to have the natural talent she does and run around on stage with high high heels then jet of to another city for the next show amazes me. I get tired sitting in the office for a day.

I blogged about a dance competition Beyonce held for her hit single "Single Ladies" and last night prior to doing the crazy dance routine, she featured some of the entrants to this competition and they included clips from Justin Timberlake and even Obama.

She closed with an emotional tribute to Michael Jackson with "Halo" and fans were screaming and applauding. She showed a home video of when she was a little girl saying she wanted to grow up to be like Michael Jackson. Beyonce embodies "the perfect woman" according to Big Bear and I am sure many young girls are wanting to grow up to be like her.
