點解咁凍

Mon, 21 Jan 2008 09:48:32 +0800

今日係好凍好凍, 我大病左兩日, 焗大被, 出左四次汗, 終於似番個人呢.
所以我地出左去食野. 嘩! 但係點解咁凍, 番黎睇下天氣啦, 得零下6度, 計埋d風, 天氣報告話似零下14度, 唔掛得我凍到硬左.

感恩節大餐

Thu, 27 Dec 2007 01:26:41 +0800

我發覺已經差唔多成兩個月冇寫野. 安妮投訢話我個博客就黎發mo. 所以要寫下.
上一回講到感恩節. 所以會煮好多野食. 不過都係得我同姆明兩個人.
不過我地過得好開心, 好relax. 等我介紹下我入廚之作.

Chicken Alfredo Mini Penne.
白汁雞肉小長通粉.
姆明話呢個餸好好味,如果佢亞媽食到的話, 會很苛驚訝我的廚藝已去到另一高峰.

我唔小心整斷左parmasan cheese, 覺得斷得好隨意, 所以影左張相, 覺得都幾有藝術的感覺.

呢個係我地o既早餐.
Buscuit and ham over gravy.
除左d ham係leftover, 其他都係自己整架, 勁好味.

Pecan Pie
我地決定整呢個甜品係因為姆明想我整, 都ok. 白色的係好好味既雲呢嗱雪糕.

自製感恩節套餐.
個花花o既野係Acorn Squash. 食落去既質感同南瓜好似.
白色的係自己做o既薯蓉, 好滑架.
仲有係蒜蓉多士. 好香.

生活味味美

姆明谷來回機票

Wed, 07 Nov 2007 22:09:20 +0800

昨日姆明話想同我一起過感恩節. 本應我唔想去, 要搵人車我去機場好煩. 最主要係一返黎就教書係7:30a.m. 不過算啦, 我都想見到佢, 而佢一直話想一起過重要o既日子...姆明真係好.
所以昨天買左機票去姆明谷. 明天會飛, 大概7點到, 星期一晚上11月12日返. 跟住11月20日再飛去, 26日返. 學校呢12月10日就完, 我跟住會飛去另一谷過聖誕, 飛呀飛, 不停咁飛.

"Translation":
I am going to Moomin Valley tomorrow, i can't be more excited.
Moomin said he wanted to spend Thanksgiving with me...aw...so cute. so i got the tickets yesterday! Thank you Moomin for being you!
Love, cakes.

[Verse 1:]

光透進來把夢刷白
guāng tòu jìn lái bǎ mèng shuā bái
Light shining into the room, brushing the dream white

捨不得妳會醒過來
shě bù dé nǐ huì xǐng guò lái
can't bear to have you woken up

不要現在昨夜走太快
bù yào xiàn zài zuó yè zǒu tài kuài
Don't want this moment, last night went away too fast.. Wo~

說不上來隱隱燙在胸口一塊
shuō bù shàng lái yǐn yǐn tǎng zài xiōng kǒu yī kuài
Don't know how to describe, feeling a vaguely warm patch on the chest

吻妳臉頰證明此刻真的存在
wén nǐ liǎn jiá zhèng míng cǐ kè zhēn de. cún zài
Kiss your cheek, to prove that this moment really exist

是妳讓我相信愛對我慷慨 Hey Ho

It is love, we are meant to be and not accidental

[Chorus:]

這是愛我們的愛
zhè shì ài wǒ men de ài
This is love, our love

還不確定卻好實在
hái bù què dìng què hǎo shí zài
not entirely certain but it truly exists

把妳貼在胸懷靜靜的代替表白
bǎ nǐ tiē zài xiōng huái jìng jìng de dài tì biǎo bái
Wrap you inside my arms, silently in exchange of confession

再不願放開
zāi bù yuàn fàng kāi
don't ever want to let you go again

這是愛給你的愛
zhè shì ài gěi nǐ de ài
This is love, the love for you

沒名字卻停不下來
méi míng zì què tíng bù xià lái
it has no names but can't be stopped

在忐忑裏期待
zài tǎn tè lǐ qī dài
anxiously anticipating

雀躍中想到未來是妳我才明白
què yuè zhōng xiǎng dào wèi lái shì nǐ wǒ cái míng bái
in my excitement I thought of you as the future, and I finally understood

這就是愛
zhè jiù shì ài
this is love

[Verse 2:]

但夢還在小心不讓妳醒過來
dàn mèng hái zài xiǎo xīn bù ràng nǐ xǐng guò lái
but the dream is still here, careful not to wake you up

也許現在就是永恆的未來
wǒ yě xǔ xiàn zài jiù shì yǒng héng de. wèi lái
may be this moment, is the future of forever

是妳讓我相信愛對我慷慨 Yeah Ho

It is love, we are meant to be and not accidental

[Repeat chorus]
[Bridge:]

第一個我們的清晨 Yeah~
dì yī gè wǒ mén de. qīng chén yeah
the first of our mornings

比任何默契更私密的
bǐ rèn hé mò qì gèng sī mì de
even more private than any tacit understandings

無限可能
wú xiàn kě néng
those infinite possibilities

言語都顯得太膚淺 ho~ o~
yán yǔ dōu xiǎn dé tài fú qiǎn
even words seemed too shallow
[Repeat chorus]

Inspiration from leehom

Wed, 31 Oct 2007 09:24:11 +0800

A lot of my friends who are behind the scenes in the music business always say they envy me. The grass is always greener on the other side. Come to think of it, I'm already a very lucky person.

I try not to discuss my relationships or personal life because I respect the other person. I don't want her to become the headline of some gossip news. I'm not the kind of artist who uses his personal life to promote himself. If some people think they can survive in the industry by utilizing these tactics, that's their decision. If it's the only thing they've got, they won't be able to last long in the business.

The fact that I like music is completely out of sync with my family background. My dad is a doctor. My older brother is a doctor. They hoped I would become a doctor too. But why do I like music? I guess there is no real “why,” no particular reason. I like it because I like it.

What is my expectation? I think it's freedom. Creative freedom. I understand that it's difficult for music that's too idealistic to find an audience. But on the other hand, I don't want my songs to be solely played in karaoke. There should be a balance. I'm not a just a singer. I'm a musician who composes and produces, for myself and others. I have introduced many different elements to my music that is not found in standard pop music. I don't want to sing a song when someone tells me to sing it. What I want to sing – is my own song.

After September 11, my attitude towards things started to change. I started seeing things farther into the future. I'm not sure why, but at the time I thought a lot about the environment, animals, and anti-war issues. So when I was invited by National Geographic last year to see the white dolphins, it felt especially meaningful.

Q: Ideally what do you consider the most enjoyable time to spend with your lover? “No pretence. I can be myself and be loved.”

Q: After becoming a public figure, there must be some unpleasantness behind all the glory. What is the most you have gained and lost after entering the industry? “The most I gained is that there are lots of ears listening to my songs, my music. This is the most important to me because I make music to share with others. What I lost is time. There is a high demand of time for this job. So I'm always traveling, so there is less time for myself or to see my family and friends.”

To me, music is like when a bee sees honey – there is a remarkable attraction. My parents supported me to learn instruments as a child. Lots of my relatives and friends also love music. For them, music can be a lifelong hobby. However that is not all I want. I want to specialize in music instead of medicine.

For Chinese in the American society, there is not always fair treatment. We need to be twice as strong as they are to be competitive. With the traditional value in mind, many young Chinese-Americans knew what they wanted to do, yet were afraid of letting their parents down. In the end they may not end up with a career of their choice.

I'm glad that I made the right choice. People must have dreams. Even if it's not close within reach, do not give up or settle with reality.

People have become more and more appreciative of my music. That's right, I shouldn't call you all fans anymore; it should be friends. And I remember the mainland China fan club is called
"Our Home.” It feels great. Although I don't care how many people appreciate my music, if my music can provide everyone a home, it makes me feel really happy.

Before my high school graduation, I faced such a struggle. My older brother studied medicine, and my grades were good enough to apply for medicine as well. “Why not?” My mom asked. She told me studying music is so unrealistic. I gave in and chose to major in medicine, while still electing courses in jazz piano.

My grades were ok in my freshmen year, but I felt forced. This is not what I wanted to do. I know if I put my mind to it, I can definitely finish these studies. But in the process I would have lost my happiness.

That year I had the chance to release an album in Taiwan . My parents were not against it. They looked at it as a part-time job and told me “not to have high expectations.” But my desire for music grew stronger and stronger. For my second album, I wrote 8 songs and participated in the arrangement. I felt excited like a fish back in the water.

In my sophomore year while confirming a major, I built the courage and told my parents I wanted to study music. I told them even if I cannot find a job and have no money in the future, I will accept it because I will be happy. Of course my parents did not immediately agree to such an important decision. They consulted uncle Lee Chen-Fu in detail. Uncle Lee said a lot. In particular he mentioned that “unlike the US , there is no big drug problem among the Taiwan music industry.” My parents felt less concerned and finally agreed.

After receiving my college degree, one day mom said to me, “I can finally stop worrying about you.” She saw that I had found what I wanted, and had some success. I felt relieved since she had done so much for me.
