療傷系歌手 - 蔡健雅 Tanya

出道大概十四年﹐發行十四張專輯﹐新加坡的驕傲蔡健雅終於要在家鄉開首場個人演唱會。對我而言﹐她算是我偶像﹐我也並非特別喜歡她演唱的每一首歌。她畢竟有自己的想法﹐自己的創作。但聽她的歌聲﹐有許多經典療傷情歌。聽她的聲音﹐總是有種難以解釋的感動。
或許是人生經驗的累積﹐她一路從默默無聞的本地歌手﹐走到現在兩度台灣金曲獎最佳國語女歌手﹐並非容易。有多少個本地歌手能像她一樣的能耐﹐把自己的才華展現在全球華語樂壇?許多她的作品也讓很多歌手唱紅﹗

‘她是一位華語樂壇不可多得的才女，專輯詞曲，制作她都能全包辦，除榮獲台灣金曲獎最佳專輯制作人獎外，她也是本地唯一一位女歌手連奪兩次台灣金曲獎最佳國語女歌手，她是新加坡的驕傲，她是蔡健雅。’

完全認同﹗超喜歡她的[紀念]，[陌生人]﹐[無底洞]﹐ [雙栖動物]等歌曲。[若你碰到他]也讓我有不一樣的感動。她的歌﹐加上歌聲﹐讓我聽歌時充滿著畫面。很期今晚在新加坡室內體育館(Singapore Indoor Stadium)能讓我再一次的感動。
健雅﹐加油﹗加油﹗加油﹗

夢想。現實 | Dreams in Reality

經過今晚的討論﹐感覺夢想真的有機會實現。與幾位兄弟(Bro1, Bro2, Bro3)討論著我從幾年前開始擁有的小小的理想。很高興﹐大家都蠻讚同我的建議﹐當然還是需要長期的計劃。不久的將來﹐我將把計劃書寫出來﹐把勢力加強﹐把能力擴充。我有信心﹐我能寫好計劃書。即使將來會有些落差﹐依然能從中修改﹐與現實掛鉤。

感謝Bro1 (Aris), 用心的給予建議﹐讓我認清現實生活的狀況。讓我慎重的檢討與策劃。真的非常感謝。

感謝Bro2 & 3 (Wen & Hao) ,二話不說的支持我。願意投資及幫忙﹐也同時提出許多建議。感激不境﹗

After the discussion tonight, i felt that my dreams may, indeed, come true. Had a small discussion with Bro1, Bro2 & Bro3 over our dinner/supper. I am so glad that everyone supports my plan and suggestions. But of course, more plannings are required. In the near future, i will come up with a proper proposal, improved my skills and standard of my food.

I am very confident that i can come up with a good proposal, a realistic one. Even if the details be incorrect when we are realising the plan, we can simply adjust the details to reflect the actual situation.

I would like to thank:

Bro1 (ARIS), for giving me suggestions and practical advice. It is really important that i have someone to pull me back from the fantasy world. Many suggestions are good and i believed that they will work! Thanks bro.

Bro2 & 3 (Wen & Hao), for supporting and agreeing to invest without second thoughts, at the same time, giving suggestions during our discussion. It is important to have money for business! =)

Once again, Thanks! Bros!

無能為力

我不想放棄 我無能為力
我只想努力 卻身不由己

我並非願意 我身不由己
我也曾努力 卻徒勞無益

海嘯來襲時 即使預測到﹐也未必能阻擋
地震發生時 即使預測到﹐又有和用處?

天災人禍﹐ 有時是避免不了。
能辦到的是減低傷害。

現在的我﹐ 心情有如面對天災人禍。
一直愛跑步的我﹐ 可能要放棄。
只想在跑道上努力﹐ 卻身不由己。
膝蓋的不知病情﹐讓我一而再﹐再而三的痛苦﹐流淚。

我﹐能繼續嗎?

談錢傷感情

這句話常常出現在我們日常生活中。

現在的我卻對‘錢’﹐這個字﹐有了另一种領悟。

今年遇到‘金融危机’，這也是我永生以來遇到的第二個‘金融危机’。這次的危機卻讓我深深體會什麼是人情﹐什麼是友誼﹐什麼是‘好人有好報’。我常聽到許多人只要一談到錢的話題﹐變想頒發逃跑﹗但我很慶幸﹐我周遭的朋友們﹐都不是這種人。也許是尊嚴﹐我很少會找朋友幫忙﹐更何況這事是如此的大。我不是一個容易攤開心窗的人。通常只會笑著戴過﹐不會說出心理的事情。

這次我讓朋友了解我的困難﹐並沒有真正向任何人提出借錢﹐除了定澤。他們都願意在能力範圍內幫我。定澤更是二話不說的替我還了第一學期的學費﹐也沒急著要我償還。令我十分感動。他也替我向幾位朋友提出我的難處﹐這些朋友便決定請我唱歌﹐吃飯。唉﹗我真的是身在福中不知福啊﹗若我有發達的一天﹐我一定不會忘了請過我﹐幫過我的你們的﹗

在此想謝謝: 定澤﹐Aris, Hao, Wen, Tony, Xinyi, Teck, BJ, RK, Ashton, Elaine, Joey, JQ

如果沒有你我在哪里 又有甚么可惜?
同時﹐我也在此推翻了"談錢傷感情"這句話。

Nirwana Bintan

After weeks of planning, on and off discussion, we finally set off to Bintan on 13th March and returned on 14th. Despite frustrating planning going on, we still managed to enjoy ourselves in the land of beautiful scenery!
My DSLR Camera's lens was spoilt when we were at the jetty. Knowing my love for photography, Rick passed me his camera and made me the official photographer! haha... Thankfully, I asked him to bring his, the night before setting off. With his camera on hand, I am still feeling bad and shy about taking control of his cam. But things changed once I stepped onto Bintan!
Mesmerised by the beautiful beach scenery in front of my eyes, I began to snap my way to our resort! Since we have almost half an hour before checking in, we took a stroll down the beach behind the Nirwana Beach Club. Man, I kept Rick’s camera working hard! But hey, the photos turned out to be amazing! I am so proud of my work and was inspired to take more great pictures! I am so happy that my friends ‘Like’ them after posting on to Facebook.
There is nothing easier to explain the beauty of the beach, other than using the photos I took.





Despite good service & beautiful scenery, the prices of the food are expensive! The total tax is up to 20% or more! The beach was also been dirtied by black oil that can stick stubbornly onto your legs… It’s a great trip as I enjoy the whole 2D1N stay with the bunch of people from my work despite doing nothing much but walking down the beach! Haha.

兩個自己

我覺得自己很沒用。

討厭口說無行的人﹐但自己卻是其中之一。

常常會找千萬個理由﹐讓自己好過些。但﹐騙得了別人﹐卻騙不了自己。怨天怨地﹐其實我很少怨人。因為我深信怨人﹐不如怨己。其實我老早已經了解自己的性格﹐沒人比自己更了解自己。說白一點﹐其實在我身上﹐在我心理﹐存在著兩個自己。

唯有夜深人靜時﹐他們才會真正的見面。

唯有無人在身邊時﹐他們才一同出現。

慶幸或不幸﹐今晚﹐他們同時又再度‘開會’。

難過﹐自責﹐厭倦﹐疲憊﹐統統都涌入我懷裡。

啊﹗現在並不是討論這話題的時候。明天的測驗﹐相當棘手。若不開始‘抱佛腳’﹐明天就準備‘受刑’吧﹗

收起眼淚﹐提起精神來﹗加油﹗加油﹗加油﹗

一下就好

再忍多一下就好﹐一下就好

一切都將會結束。

不要垂頭喪氣﹐ 不要輕易放棄。

暮色里也會有七彩的長虹。

再忍多一下就好﹐一下就好

一切都是值得的。

不要心灰意冷﹐ 不要愁眉不展。

盡心盡力的你﹐一定會有回報﹗

Good Old Times

After days of sleepless nights to do Angie's Wedding Guest book, which was not used on that day, it is finally her wedding day. It doesn't matter if she did not use it. I find it a little inappropriate to use it but maybe it can serve as a gift to her lor. Anyway, I felt strange as I look forward to her wedding lunch. No, it is not that I have a thing for her. Her wedding lunch seems more like a company D&D or even a reunion lunch for me.

I believe that there are almost 70% of her guest list from AUO and former AFPD collegues. I was seated with a bunch of current and former FA members. Man, i missed this feeling! We had such a great fun joking around, eating great food. Oh yes, the food was pretty nice but service has lots of room for improvement. Back to the topic, as our table was the 'reserved' table, meaning that we were not even on the expected list of tables, according to the restaurant. We were placed right at the end of the restaurant, near to the newly weds' changing room.

It's kinda of a VIP room without VIP treatment. But heck care, we had the whole room to ourselves! Isn't it cool?! While everyone was seated like the usual wedding dinner, we are chatting, walking around, taking photos as if we are just there for a private lunch! Its great! It felt like we are back to the good old times when CELL FA was still a close-knitted family. The FA now is just a bunch of collegues. Yes, some of us are still close to each other, but on whole, it had changed.

I really miss the times we had last time. I am sure I am not the only one. We 'cleaned' up the whole plate of food everytime they served. Imagine that! Who cares if the black-faced auntie offered us desserts from other table, we just took and eat! hahahaha! Awww... when will i see them all together as one, again?!

Chingay 2011

Its tiring, its fun and yet its EXPLOSIVE!

It is tiring as I volunteered to help the helpers in logistic part of the work, despite involving in participating as one of the "God of Fortune". We stayed till 1am or so to settle all the props & costumes before leaving for home. Of course, there are other people who stayed more days than me. Hence, it is not easy to be part of the Chingay.

Its FUN. I had lots of fun participating in Chingay. I get to know more friends too. To be able to participate in two segment of the Chingay is indeed great! How many people get the chance to do that? Though some aunties & uncles are grumbling, they withstand the long standing, walking and explosives.

Chingay = EXPLOSIVE? Yes, this year, Chingay 2011 introduced firecrackers in the first segment... firecrackers with 6 god of fortunes (财神爷) on the 12th Feb (there were 20 on 11th, but removed due to dangerous act!) & the longest firecracker dragon! My float of 50 god of fortunes was supposed to walk behind the 6 god of fortunes (from People's Association). Hence, there are supposed to be a safety distance from the firecrackers. Unfortunately, the 6 firecrackers god of fortunes threw the firecrackers in all directions, including at us and under the float. Some even slowed down to light up the firecrackers... Imagine the firecrackers 'cracking' by my side and near my ears? Yes, i was deaf for a few minutes before regaining my hearing... I seriously condemn the organisers for failing to see the danger to the participants.

Despite this, i enjoyed myself in Chingay 2011 with lots of laughter.. If there is other such enjoyable events and my time permits, i will join! =)

Oh ya, for those who do not know what Chingay is all about, Chingay is an annual parade in Singapore during Lunar New Year period. It is not about gay, even though Chingay sounds gay... It is a parade with lots of music, colours from all over the world. 2011 marks the largest Chingay ever with foreign performers and foreign media to air the parade on TV in their respective countries.
