桃花开 摇摇摆摆



近期最爱的歌,非《桃花开 摇摇摆摆》莫属。
又是一首感叹岁月的好歌。
信,写得好!

很少台语歌词可以写得那么到位。



“到底心要有外阔才装得下孤单”


p/s - 还开玩笑地跟朋友说,接下来几个月的梦中情人,是信。哈哈。

'Love Never Dies' in London Adelphi Theatre

went for Phantom of the Opera on the 4th, and Love Never Dies on the 5th.
my friends said i was crazy. lol. i wanted to go for Stomp as well, but too bad, no moolah!

if you have not known, 'Love Never Dies' is the sequel written by Andrew Llyod Webber and performed only not long ago, erm, perhaps only a year ago. :)
i was quite disappointed by the story and especially scenes before the intermission.
but the show went pretty good after the intermission.

one of my favourite piece from Love Never Dies,



Let hopes pass, let dreams pass, let them die. Without you, what are they for?
'Til' I Hear You Sing' by Ramin Karimloo.

too bad, Ramin Karimloo was on leave for the show I attended. Tam Mutu was the phantom of the night. But still, he was superb! his voice was amazing when he performed Til' I Hear You Sing. actually, i'd prefer Tam Mutu's version of it, than the youtube clip of Ramin's. :)

not gonna tell you the plot of Love Never Dies. :D i think it's a good musical that worth attending to the theatre to watch.

oh! haven't I told ya that Andrew Llyod Webber is my new idol? he is the producer for many of the musicals in London, Phantom of the Opera, Love Never Dies, Wizard of Oz, Cats and The Sound of Music, bla bla bla.
he is also the composer of most of the songs. Think of Me, All I Ask of You, Til' I Hear You Sing, Memory bla bla bla.
for me, he is a musician as great as Joe Hisaishi and John Williams. :D

p/s - aiks, Phantom of the Opera was great as well. love the scene where Raoul and Christine escape to the roof, and sang 'All I Ask of You'. sweeeet! but too bad, my friend and I felt that even La Carlotta sang better than Christine. and this current Christine is rated as the worst Christine for Her Majesty's Theatre ever. :/

share with you one more great song by Andrew Lloyd Webber,



I remember the time I knew what happiness was. Let the memory live again
Memory, from Cats



*woohooo phantom and love never dies were my 2nd and 3rd musical in London! more to come! saving mooooolah for Mama Mia and Les Miserable. mama mia, here i go again... i dreamed a dream in time gone byyyyyyy~*

music and i

i'm always glad that i was given a chance to have so so much exposures about music.
well, i used to take piano lesson, but wasn't really determined about it. :(
i was a percussionist years back during the band days, but i have only limited skills, i think. lol.
even though i'm a poor musician, but i do appreciate music. :)
string orchestra, wind orchestra, chamber music, ensemble, marching band, vocal music etc etc. i love them all.

CNV000022



p/s - just realized how unbearable a person's personality can be. aiks. however, this reminds me to appreciate my true friends more. :)

passion and memories.

attended the St Mary's School Band 1st concert last saturday.
i burst into tears during the encore pieces.
flashbacks of those days kept playing in my mind.
my seniors, juniors and bandmates of my batch,
the practices, parades and performances,
the tears, sweats and joy,
the obstacles, passion, and teamwork.
all of these kept playing in my mind during the concert.
i felt really touched when i came to realize that the band has gone this far.
the girls have made it. they have made the school and the ex-members proud.

as the saying goes,
rome wasn't built in one day.
years back, st mary's band was still a band that people would look down on.
but now, the band has got much better.
the band didn't just improve in a blink of eye. it was the passion and efforts by all the members throughout these years.
and not to forget our dedicated instructor, Mr. Sunny Hoh.
Sir, 7 years ago you came to take over the band. there were ups and downs throughout these 7 years. even i myself have thought of giving up. but u never.
u even encouraged us to carry on.
we are glad that we have you, for these 7 years, sir.
i'm here to express my appreciation to all members of the band and Mr. Sunny Hoh, thanks for bringing me such a wonder night, a walk down my memory lane.

and thanks, for bringing back my passion.
life is so wonderful if we are living with passion. :)

congratulations St Mary's School Band!
one peak conquered! let's achieve another higher peak.
us ex-members will always be with u.
anyway, ex-members, something is cooking, please join THIS.
please leave your emails and contact numbers in the discussion board so i can send out my proposal to u ASAP.
a tough challenge is awaiting, but i have faith and passion.
and i hope u too. :)

CNV000013

a walk down my memory lane.



p/s - when i received the sms from sir on saturday midnight, i almost burst into tears again. thanks mr. sunny. thanks. salute! :)

Echoes of the Rainbow*岁月神偷

之前在Facebook看见很多朋友给了这电影很高的评价,
不过那时因为准备考试,电影下档了都没有机会去看。
最后,在朋友再度介绍之下,买了DVD 来看。

昨晚一个人把这电影给看完了。
这部大概2小时长的电影,让我哭足1小时。
看完后眼泪还是无法停止。

《岁月神偷》是一部很简单的电影。
没有高科技的点缀,也不是什么庞大制作。
不过,导演的拍摄方式非常细腻,
有好几幕,看到画面,我就直接流泪了。

如果你问我,对这部电影有何感想,
我觉得我回答不到。
这部电影带来了巨大的内心波动,百感交集,
说真的,我到现在都还没能用言语形容,那时什么感觉。

“在幻变的生命里,岁月,原是最大的小偷......”
仔细想一想,我们在那不曾停止的岁月里,得到了什么?
而它,又从我们身上偷走了什么?

不告诉你们故事大纲,如果有兴趣,你们自己看。
这真的是一部好电影。
一个人看,一个人沉思。
再和家人一起看。

在此送上电影主题曲和片段。 :)



不回想 不回答
不回憶 不回眸
反正也不回頭
-李治廷《岁月轻狂》




p/s - im sorry for all my readers who don't read chinese. basically this is a post regarding the movie, "Echoes of the Rainbow" that i've watched yesterday. I truly recommend this movie. It's a simple movie, but will lead you to think in a great depth. As said in the movie, 'in this unpredictable life, time, no doubt is the biggest thief...'. =)

life has an absolute*生命有一种绝对

CNV000034


想要征服的世界始终都没有改变
那地上无声蒸发我的泪
黑暗中期待光线生命有一种绝对
等待我请等待我
直到约定融化成笑颜
-五月天《生命有一种绝对》




life's pretty good recently. because slacking is the only thing i do. :P

oh well, did a lil research on digital cameras. Olympus PEN E-PL1 is really awesome! will try to get one before going UK. but since it's really expensive, i don't put much hopes on it. if i couldn't get one, im still happy to stick with my lomo cameras. kakaka.

for lomography, my latest desires are the Diana Mini and Olympus mjμ-II. an used Olympus mjμ-II (with remote control) only costs RM199 in lowyat forum. aaaa. the deal is really tempting. well well, if im a super rich woman, i would love to get the Fuji Instax Mini 25 too. lighter in weight and better in focus compared to my current 7S.
oh well, i won't be buying any cameras these few months. :( im broke. and if i have money, it would be fund for the E-PL1.

oh well. did i tell u that mayday's concert was really awesome? ahmuk, sim, yin and i really enjoyed ourselves. :)
between, u should try listening to Yen-J (严爵). a talented young singer.

p/s - lisa ono is awesome too! aaaaaa. what's more perfect than listening to lisa ono alone,with a glass of wine? eh no. i don't drink at home. :P

突然好想你

刚刚从[2010五月天變形DNA[無限放大版]世界巡回大馬演唱會]回来。
震撼的舞台,一流的音乐,高昂的气氛。这场演唱会,真的几乎完美。
曲目也是很棒。
整场演唱会里,让我最有感触的歌曲,竟然是《突然好想你》

突然好想一个人的感觉,相信大家都有过吧。

"最怕空氣突然安靜 最怕朋友突然的關心
最怕回憶 突然翻滾絞痛著 不平息
最怕突然 聽到你的消息
最怕此生 已經決心自己過 沒有你 卻又突然 聽到你的消息",阿信唱。


心酸。
真的很酸。
曾经何时,我们都很想念那个人。
虽然已经走出伤悲,不过阿信依然令我脑海里那一段回忆泛起了一阵涟漪。
那心酸,我相信我们都忘记不了。


CNV000031

突然好想你,你会在哪里?

p/s - 叮当的唱功真的不是普通的利害,她和阿信合唱《拥抱》竟然让我起鸡皮疙瘩。另外,《倔强》也让我想起了中学时期为了铜乐队而坚持的那一段过去。《憨人》,《志明与春娇》让我发现,五月天的歌,陪我渡过了很多岁月。谢谢你们,五月天。还有,五月天那3位和音老师也真的很厉害!

p/s again - 认真的男人,真的很帅。阿信,真的很有魅力。啊~~~~怎么可以那么帅?哈哈哈。其实其他团员也不赖。

p/s again and again - 我真的从《突然好想你》的那一段走出来了。现在,还是《天使》比较适合我?哈哈哈哈。阿信真的是名副其实的摇滚诗人。

p/s again and again and again (haha) - 最近有几位朋友都因为感情问题而陷入低潮,朋友们啊,
"你值得真正的快乐 你应该脱下你穿的保护色
为什麼失去了 还要被惩罚呢
能不能就让 悲伤全部 结束在此刻 重新开始活著"
期待你们重新开始活着的那一天!加油!

阿信,就真的那么近。哈哈哈哈。

再见五月天!下次演唱会再见!

mama.

Mama thank you for who I am
Thank you for all the things I'm not
Forgive me for the words unsaid
For the times
I forgot

Mama remember all my life
You showed me love,You sacrificed
Think of those young and early days
How I've changed
along the way

And I know you believed
And I know you had dreams
And I'm sorry it took all this time to see
That I am where I am because of your truth
I miss you, I miss you

Mama forgive the times you cried
Forgive me for not making right
All of the storms I may have caused
And I've been wrong
Dry your eyes

Mama I hope this makes you smile
I hope you're happy with my life
At peace with every choice I made
How I've changed
Along the way
And I know you believed in all of my dreams
And I owe it all to you, Mama

Eason Moving On - Stage 26

“难离难舍想抱紧些 茫茫人生好象荒野
如孩儿能伏于爸爸的肩膊 谁要下车
难离难舍总有一些 常情如此不可推卸
任世间怨我坏 可知我只得你
承受我的狂或野”
-陈奕迅 《单车》


“一世庆祝整个地球上
亿个背影但和你碰上
想说你知整个地球上
无人可使我更想奔向”
-陈奕迅 《天下无双》


“除非你是我 才可与我常在
一个人 从镜内发展恩爱
除非你是我 才可昼夜同在
恋不来 从厌倦里面偷取恨爱”
-陈奕迅 《与我常在》


“我絕不罕有 往街裡繞過一周
我便化烏有”
-陈奕迅 《富士山下》


“文明能压碎 情怀不衰
无论枯乾山水 旧时年月投入垃圾里
你我一起同居 仍然能送你 儿时玩具
老地方 抱著一起安睡 七百年
潮流里 建筑统统破碎”
-陈奕迅 《七百年后》



整场演唱会,我只能用美妙来形容。美妙的出场,美妙的曲目,美妙的舞者,美妙的乐手,当然,也有美妙的结束。
简单的服装;不简单的表演。
很棒,真的很棒!
本来以为他不会唱《天下无双》的了,谁知道encore时段,他唱了。如常的,我被感动到。
可惜的是他没唱《Shall We Talk》。
不过还是很high。
可是很奇怪,马来西亚人,站在摇滚区,竟然有过半的观众全程很冷静地看演唱会。

说真的,很喜欢演唱会的结尾。只能说,很美丽,很完美。
那灿烂的烟花伴着演唱会的落幕。 美!

最后当然要分享整场演唱会来,我最爱的歌词。

“在有生的瞬间能遇到你
竟花光所有运气
到这日才发现
曾呼吸过空气“
-陈奕迅《明年今日》






p/s-很可惜的是,没有拍到照。因为我忙着垫脚尖看陈奕迅。还有,当时我很累很累,要不然可以更HIGH!=D
