歌頌

最近我聽到這首歌

一唱第一句 我就喜歡上了

Hins 的《披星戴月》

*

絕對有資格成為《富士山下》

的延續

還超好的歌詞

*

原來《富士山下》的延續

是Kay的《鍾無艷》

我不知道哦

*

《祝英台》和《鍾無艷》

誰打誰 我亂了

*

原來, 林夕在訪問中說過:

“其實,你喜歡一個人,就像喜歡富士山。

你可以看到它,但是不能搬走它。

你有什麼方法可以移動一座富士山,

回答是,你自己走過去。

愛情也如此,逛過就已經足夠。”

(新周刊 vol.228, Thu, 08 Jun, 2006)

*

我覺得這個 post 有點 random

只要是好歌

還要在意寫的東西沒有 point 嗎

這樣不是很好嗎

愛到死去活來的情歌之余

我們需要一道光線

林夕簡直是太神了

崇拜他到五體投地

*

還有一首覺得不錯的《可歌可泣》

還有一首鄭融的和周柏豪的

《一事無成》

是 Wymen 的

*

還有還有

我才聽過一次的《So I Say》

蠻好聽的 很輕鬆的 tempo

過後我才發現這首歌是方大同作詞的

誰敢講這首歌不好聽

*

聽了這些歌

有沒有想抱抱的感覺

最後來首古巨基的《以你為榮》

*

Mel, My Dream Boy

two days ago

i went for evening walk

with Ah B and dad

*

Coming out of Carrefour

I saw Melvin, coming to my way

It’s him.. it’s him

I have not seen him for so so long

*

He is not in tie and long sleeved shirt

first time see him in shorts and tee

*

he passed by me

going into Carrefour

I guess

*

if i am not with dad

maybe i will turn back and follow him

haha…

*

The first time i saw Melvin

is the 1st day i went to work in the mall…

*

He was smoking at the backlane

you see, the feeling is different

if a Ah beng is smoking there

compared with a guy in smart tie

and long-sleeve smoking

he looked so cool

*

i told myself

i must find out where is this guy working

The answer is easily available

he was working at the optical shop

opposite the stall i was working

I can see him everyday

*

it’s so exciting

when i met him on

my way to the wash room

*

walking past his shop

i will try not to hunch

if he was standing outside

*

if carrying something

will pretend it’s very heavy

hoping he will notice

and come help me

*

when he went for lunch

wondering what he was eating

*

then i noticed how sophisticated

he closed the door

and felt so proud when

i told my colleagues about it

(i m not the only 38 working there)

*

you know those automated door

so after he turned on the switch

he had to slide out really quick

or get stuck inside

imagine you are watching MI or Bond

i am sure his plump colleagues can’t do this

*

and he is the one holding the key

oh.. cool

he must be the manager

or the supervisor

*

then one day we were thinking

what kind of bag was he carrying ya?

don’t tell me he was carrying

a Nike shoulder bag

*

to my relief…

it’s  a black leather carrier

then later i change to carry a black bag too

i don’t know…

*

he did not wear those black leather shoes

with pointed head

his shoes were perfectly normal

*

i found out his name ……

one day he was on his way to lunch

i took our sample cookies

and asked him to try

he didn’t

but his smile was so sweet

*

and i was so near that i got

to read the tiny name tag on his chest..

he got quite well-built chest too

“Melvin”

*

we called him Mel..

as if we had known him for ages

*

we found out he got a car

cause he walked up from underground car park

everyday

*

one day we will pretend that

contact lenses got stuck

and ask him for help

then i found out more about him

from his ex-classmate working nearby

*

but i wouldn’t want to

fool around with this guy

just because i want to get to know Mel

*

it really lightened up my day

to see him again

*

forget about those good for nothing guys

who fong me fei kay….

they are nothing compared to ah mel

*

It’s such a fun to pretend

you are a secret admirer

*

Trip Alone to Jasin

yesterday morning i so excited

took a bus to Jasin

passed by Tehel

have a couple of friends staying here

*

The bus was so empty

1 pak cik

1 ah pek

1 gadis

1 me

*

then later 2 Indians came up at Kg Tehel

then another 3 foreign workers

at Jasin Industry Park

well representative of 3 major races in Malaysia

plus foreign workers

*

what i like about bus services in Malaysia is

the driver is more human-like

they talk to the passengers, joke around

*

somewhere at Bemban

the bus driver

can even called a kedai runcit uncle out

and paid him some money

*

it has been awhile since i last went Jasin

Changes observed along the way

    - a new roundabout near Ayer Molek High School

      - new road signs near Kampung Tehel

      - Taman Asia Selatan has came into life    

      - the fruit stall destroyed in fire has been replaced

      - new signboard for Jasin Industrial Park 

      *

      when riding a bus

      can see further and clearer

      the view is great

      *

      when we go by car

      we are either too busy talking

      or listening to songs

      *

      a couple of times on bus

      i have fallen in love with this feeling

      spend a couple of minutes

      listening to the voices of nature

      going further away from the hustle and bustle

      *

      it’s very much like

      MCdull going to Maldives

      飄下 飄下 飄下

      *

      重複犯錯

      《Human 我生》 專輯

      一首很好聽的歌

      但是沒有什麼 plug 到

      從今天起

      我不要再這麼 down了

      我喜歡陳永仁

      但是那只是電影

      祝你好運

      就忘了我好嗎

      *

      可能一開始

      這就是一個錯誤

      是我自己喜歡玩火

      最后燒傷

      能怪你嗎

      但是我答應自己

      永遠不重複犯錯

      *

      突然之間很喜歡你恨我

      我從未愛到 要生生死死那麼多

      結束感情最悲壯結果

      原來似 以掌心撲火

      The Old Pizza Hut is Gone

      How could they closed down

      the 1st Pizza Hut in Melaka

      somewhere near The Renaissance Hotel

      and shifted to this empty Digital Mall

      *

      I believe this is where some Malaccans

      taken their 1st bites of Pizza ever

      Some even believe that the Pizzas

      served here are better than other branches

      Now it’s gone

      Nice!!

      *

      And we could compare the business

      between the Pizza Hut

      and the Famosa Chicken Rice right opposite

      to see which one is preferred by the tourists

      There are times where both had

      really bad business

      *

      Since the Pizza Hut was located

      at a busy junction

      the waiters would always lead the customers

      to take seats by the window panes

      *

      While cars were waiting for

      the light to turn green

      those people in the car

      can see people enjoying Pizza inside

      A great window display by the pizza eaters

      *

      Especially when you are stuck in a heavy jam

      on a hot afternoon…

      The pizza temptation can be irresistible

      *

      Some of the memorable trips to

      that particular Pizza Hut

      *

      with my grandpa and an auntie

      after a tired day at school

      during primary 4 I think

      *

      with my dad

      while mom and sis having discussion

      with my bro-in-law family

      (relating to their wedding)

      at a Chinese restaurant

      *

      with my Buddhist Society buddies

      after a day long seminar

      at the hotel next door

      *

      with my colleagues

      when i was working part-time

      at a pharmacy nearby

      *

      The day before my niece was born

      that’s our dinner before we

      met her in the morning

      *

      have to go now

      My niece wants to play ball

      Otherwise she will right away turn my pc off

      *

      update on 27/08/10

      the shop lot is still abandoned after that long

      and i will never go to the new location

      no matter what

      *

      dedicate this song to the good old Pizza Hut

      When You’re Gone / Avril Lavigne

      I MISS YOU!!

      *

      Touring Melaka with RM10

      Today’s Saturday…

      Morning I though of going for a jog at the

      recreational park at Bukit Serindit

      6.30 am i told my mom…

      No way, it’s dark n far

      *

      Ok, So I decided to go St. Paul Hill

      Me and Ah B

      She didn’t want to proceed further

      aft we stopped by the chicken barn

      *

      Fine…

      Morning Jog turned out to be

      barn sight-seeing

      *

      After breakfast at 10am

      I decided that

      i wanna go somewhere

      Ah B has been watching too much of TV

      eating too much food all day long

      *

      We went to the bus stop

      The bus was here very soon

      I paid for my fare…

      and mom was going to hand Ah B to me.

      She protested and didn’t want to go up

      *

      So i end up on the bus all alone

      I had totally no idea where was i heading to.

      Anyway, the bus trip was a pleasant one

      *

      It’s not the usual bus

      It was a Panorama Bus

      All pretty new

      The routes are around tourist spots in Melaka

      *

      It’s something like SBS bus in Sg

      Well air-conditioned

      clean seats and even computerized tix

      *

      It’s written on the tix

      the tix is valid for the whole day trip

      Wow, not bad ya…

      RM 1 for a whole-day tix

      *

      Passed by the State library… 

      Have had spent some times here

      studying with my buddies during my

      secondary school days

      *

      The new wing is finally done

      But i haven’t been in there before

      I haven’t been here for ages

      Next time maybe

      Since the bus service is so convenient now

      *

      I ended up at the Bus terminal, Sentral

      I decided to walk across the Gerbang Sentral

      the flyover linking Tesco.

      *

      Can’t believe it

      i was wandering alone in Tesco

      *

      I came out with only RM 10 in my bag

      So now left with RM 9 after

      paying for my bus fare

      So my budget for this trip was only RM 8

      RM 1 for back up

      *

      I bought a can of St. Dalfour jam, RM 7.90

      cause it’s within my budget

      *

      Then i headed back to Sentral

      Took another bus home.

      It costed me another RM 1

      So i was only left with 10 cents

      *

      It’s so miserable

      I didn’t have my purse with me

      No IC, no nothing…

      *

      Like a domestic helper…

      Plus a Eeyore milk bottle

      a box of Pocky

      and a 200ml water bottle

      all belong to Ah B

      *

      Too bad I didn’t have my camera with me

      My mom said it’s not safe to

      bring alone camera on a bus trip

      *

      On my trip back

      it felt weird

      I was the only Chinese

      and I was the only one alone

      *

      The bus past by Hang Tuah Walk

      The Gloria Jeans outlet has closed down

      replaced by another local mamak stall

      And another failed project

      the Digital Mall

      The only operating shop is Pizza Hut

      which is so so small

      *

      Then next stop

      it is Mahkota Parade and Dataran Pahlwan

      *

      I wanna go shopping for all the items

      i had spotted yesterday

      considering this morning

      i was richer by RM 200

      I had RM 300 cold hot cash with me

      without the need to ask for money

      *

      80% of the bus passengers got down

      But i couldn’t

      With 10 cents in the bag

      Forget about it

      *

      I continued feasting on the Pocky

      Pocky has never tasted that great

      especially when you are hungry, penniless

      I drank from the Kiddi cup too

      *

      The driver had to informed the passengers

      about important stops,

      including The Stadhuys, Mahkota

      and Penjara (The Jail)

      *

      Is it supposed to be one of the tourist destinations?

      I am not too sure

      Maybe the smallest jail in Malaysia

      An unique site in the midth of city

      *

      Reached home

      Ah B was soundly aslept

      Such a traitor, who ffked on me

      during the very very very last moment

      *

      It’s OK

      it is better during half-way along the trip

      she suddenly says she wants to go home

      You knows how

      kid misses home quite easily

      *

      Touring around is not a bad idea…

      And i have learnt to

      appreciate the public transport

      *

      At Sg and Nilai and elsewhere,

      I learn to take public transport for survival

      But i have never taken it seriously back here

      *

      Maybe I need a good camera

      The Sony one is really great.

      Sleek, touch screen, fancy color

      *

      Despite the cultural, patriotic, melancholic me

      the shopaholic me still rules them all… 

      Where am i heading tonight?

      *

      Elmo, My Fav Muppet

      Why do i like Elmo…

      It’s not simply about being cute

      But he talks like a philos guy

      And he is polite and gentle all the time

      and he has a goldfish, Dorothy

      *

      at some point of time

      I was tempted to buy this as a birthday gift

      for my niece, AH B

      for her 1st birthday. 

      It costs something like RM 200

      *

      However lots of considerations

      came into my thought

      *

      Firstly

      maybe she will be scared by

      this flurry red thing

      who laughs so loud

      *

      Secondly

      she will no like Elmo

      and will smash it

      and my RM 200 will be gone just like this

      *

      So i decided to spend on

      a pair of jeans instead

      and bought her clothes

      that only costed me RM 50

      *

      Sorry Ah B

      I will buy you something better  

      on your 3rd birthday okay

      *

      Actually I don’t collect Elmo’s stuffs

      Except a big piece of towel

      with Sesame Gang

      playing on a beach

      *

      I am slowly introducing

      the Sesame Street gang to her

      Maybe she will end up being a Elmo fan

      and we can collect stuff together

      *

      Now whenever I play The Elmo’s Song

      she can croon the song quit well

      *

      It’s really give you

      a good feeling to watch Sesame Street

      The western kids who live in

      a friendly neighburhood

      *

      It’s like Human Geog Theory…

      Effects of Americanization

      Like McD in China

      they don’t really like the burger

      but eating in McD make them feel

      civilized, modernized and

      getting an American touch

      *

      Watching Barney, Sesame Street

      gives the same feeling

      of civilization and modernization

      *

      Those activities the kids perform

      like snowman-building, horse-riding

      are not something we can do here

      *

      And you get celebrities like Norah Jones

      singing with The Muppets on the show

      *

      分手要狠

      現在不再聽《好心分手》

      要干干脆脆

      還有突然想回味 TWINS 的歌曲

      可能以後她們都不會在一起唱歌了

      人還是要長大的

      長大了就要學會面對現實

      痛苦在痛哭過後就會過去

      *

      但是阿嬌的前途就這樣沒有了

      有點可惜

      有段時間我還很喜歡他的歌

      旅行的意義

      today i met a friend

      she is very amazing

      been travelling on her own quite a lot

      eg, ASEAN countries and China

      *

      have worked in China for 1 year

      and she planning to go JP for work n travel

      after graduation

      *

      some of the field trip mates from Europe

      before that i was wondering

      why would they choose Singapore

      as exchange destination

      ain’t their uni far better than here

      *

      then now i know, they are here

      just to travel in the region

      go all over South East Asia

      oh….

      *

      she told me

      you should go around n travel

      while you are young

      once you tie the knot

      it will be difficult to travel any more

      *

      that’s why she broke up with her bf

      they had been together for 5 years

      Maybe she is right

      *

      if we wouldn’t try out new things

      how would we know

      old phrase “new horizon”

      *

      after i took geography

      i think it’s a very interesting subject

      compared to Econs

      maybe i shall change my major next sem

      it’s fun and mind-opening

      *

      the job prospect?

      journalist perhaps

      *

      imagine travelling around

      on company expenses

      covering events, places and people.

      good idea, worth-considering

      I am a bit tired of Econs

      it is too distressing

      *

      this post is especially dedicated

      to my good friend, Min Wey

      who has travelled far and wide

      to pursue her studies

      her ambitions, her dreams..

      all the best, gurl

      I’m Fine

      Today I was napping in the library

      playing some songs on my phone

      Heard this song 一切還好 by Eason

      It's so quiet that

      I can digest the lyric

      Words by words

      *

      I would like to dedicate this song to a person

      I have not seen for quite awhile

      Who at one point of time

      I have been missing

      But this feeling has faded away

      just like this

      *  

      Now what you feel like doing is just to

      say hello, how are you doing

      See how fine am I doing without you

      And look

      life has been great for me

      And I am glad that

      I have made the right decision

      *  

      I need a change in life

      Something to enlighten my darkened life

      Does it only come

      after the 4 years entrapment here

      Can't imagine it

      *  

      6 hours later I am going home

      That my only mental and spiritual support

      The journey is long

      Yet full of anticipation

      *  

      But thinking of Sunday

      I am coming back to school again

      The journey is long…. Endless

      *

      I am in a state of

      confusion, depression, disorientation

      I need a break

      *

      Sometimes especially in my room

      I found that I have a lot of things to do

      Yet I am staring into the computer

      Don't know what am I supposed to do

      *  

      Lying on the bed

      unwilling to wake up to face the morning.

      This is something that

      has never happened to me

      In dire need of transformation

      *

      May… it will ultimately come

      When will I feel myself again

      I don't want to feel happy

      I just want to be contented

      *

      Chatting Chet Lam

      上個禮拜聽《西加航空》

      聽到林一峰的訪問

      很久沒有聽到他的新作了

      原來他很多時間都在旅行

      *

      我第一次聽到林一峰的歌

      應該也是在 903          

      香港有林海峰 林峰

      第三個認識的就是林一峰了

      *

      他的聲音很輕盈

      很特別

      有別與其他港式情歌歌手

      而且唱華語歌的

      我發現他和方大同有共同點

      而且也是唱作人

      *

      他的妹妹 at 17 的二汶

      一峰二汶

      也是很不錯以後再慢慢推薦下

      *

      有一個時期考試 period

      我是聽他的歌

      悠然自在

      《The best is yet come》

      *

      一個關於他的特別之處

      "在香港樂壇上,

      他是少數公開自己同志身分的香港歌手。

      當他剛出道已在中文媒體承認同志身分,

      多年後他接受同志網站訪問時說,

      因為不想別人問他的性傾向,

      所以一早公開了,讓媒體無可追問。

      有記者問他甚麼時候「站出櫃」來,

      他打趣說:「我從沒有出櫃,

      因為我不在櫃內。」"

      Quote from wiki

      推薦他的

      《Camping Classics Reborn》

      超好聽

      *

      我聽到他的歌又想到他配音的     

      《麥兜.菠蘿油王子》

      悠悠的風 / 麥兜

      那種飄下飄下的感覺

      很有去到世界很遠的

      一個角落遠離人群的感覺

      然後另一邊廂又想到

      一個躲在屋裡的孤獨感

      *

      他作曲的兩首

      最為人所熟悉的歌曲

      孫燕姿的《遇見》和《honey honey》

      薛凱琪 《男孩像你》

      我要睡覺了

      不是說了

      新年的新願望是要早睡早起的嗎

      快點啦
