I love capturing photos of plants, food and non-living things because I always believe, although they are not human, but they do have their own expression and emotion yet to be read and appreciated.

《当我们同在一起》

我们

词曲:梁文福

一条街有多长 年少就多长 我们常都回到 昨天去徜徉 那外面有多大 用笑声去丈量 你背影有多长 思念就多长 我们总是这样 借彼此肩膀 我们总是错过 幸福那一站 *拥有了全世界 可是你却看不见 我宁愿从回到那一年 牵着你去看明天 失去了全世界 还有你在我身边 能不能重回到那一年 你的梦我的歌蓝的天 叫永远

================================================================================================================

这是新加坡电视 - 新传媒8频道2009年年度台庆剧《当我们同在一起》的主题曲,一首轻易就能够让人感动的词曲,无他,词曲创作人是梁文福嘛。

《当我们同在一起》这部剧,故事背景是动乱的60年­代,新加坡建国的初期,讲述的是六个年轻人之间的事业和爱情故事。当这部剧在电视首播的时候,我刚巧出差到新山。当我忙碌了一整天回到酒店打开电视正想要踏入浴室泡个热水澡的时候,电视传来口琴演奏熟悉的儿歌《当我们同在一起》的过门,接着一把非常有磁性、咬字非常清晰的歌声唱着 - 一条有多长, 年少就有多长。。。就这样我放下手上的衣服、浴巾,坐在电视前看了这部剧的首播。这部剧当然好看(年度台庆剧嘛,一定不能马虎),但个人认为主题曲也居功不少。当时真的有点觉得可惜,因为这并不是本地电视剧,而我也没有办法一直留在新加坡或新山。

然后有一天工作回家,正要踏入家门就听到熟悉的旋律,噢,本地电视 – NTV7正播放着这部剧呢!现在啊,我都尽量赶在这部剧播放的时间回家收看。每回听到陈伟联(一位视障的新加坡歌唱选秀冠军歌手)唱到“你的梦我的歌蓝的天叫永远”的时候,我的心总会揪一下。

Shoes-mania 3

Presentation1

Shoes, Shoes, Shoes, shoes time again… Girls never had enough of shoes, I guess, although most of the time when I looked at my shoes rack, I was telling myself, yeah, I should stop buying any, but every time when I wanted to pick a pair of shoes which can match my outfit, I will find myself wearing the same pair again and again, then I will have an excuse, yes, it’s time to buy shoes. Smile with tongue out

Ballerina is my all time favourite, I need to walk a lot in work, so, I am giving myself permit to buy a few, it’s not healthy to walk in high heels… yea yea yea, I know this reason is quite lame… I especially like the one in camel colour, they are very comfy, the bases have thin cushions. I bought them together with the black, both pairs cost me less than RM80. The grey and white pairs were bought from Taiwan, I like the grey, the white is cute too but I still couldn’t know how to match them with my outfits.

2011 CNY Deco in Shopping Malls

I wish everyday were Chinese New Year, although CNY is not as happening as those time when I was young, but it’s still the most happening season throughout the year! Everybody is going out for shopping, busy for preparation, flowers everywhere, malls will dump in a lot of money to decorate… it’s a season full of hope! Ya, of course these apply to Christmas too… but as a Chinese, my vote to “Most Happening Season” will still goes to CNY.

This year, I shop the most (just window shopping, didn’t spent much because my pockets already being burnt a big hole when I was travelling to Taiwan and Melbourne last year), although I’ve already had enough new clothes and shoes (bought during my trips) for CNY. Below The most beautiful deco in the malls (KL shj, because I didn’t travel outstation, this statement is merely my own opinion).

Pavilion

 P1070062P1070066P1070067P1070068P1070058P1070073

They have 2 big fat rabbits & cherry blossom arches before entering the main entrance, followed by lions with 4 big drums. The drums labelled good health, good wealth, prosperity and peace… you can beat them as a symbol of bringing them with you throughout the year. Huat a! yeah, I beat all 4. hehehe  But I also pity those staffs working in the mall, because every now and then they will heard loud drum noises (because ppl gia su ma, feel like the harder you beat, the more you bring home).

KLCC

P1070090P1070088

KLCC always has the most elegant deco, simple yet elegant. Don’t you think so?

Mid Valley

P1070101P1070104P1070105P1070114P1070108P1070113P1070116P1070103P1070115P1070097

Champion goes to…  MID VALLEY!!!  The turned the centre court to a small Chinese village, you can see ppl making lion, drawing Chinese calligraphy, selling traditional CNY desserts… made you feel like going back to your parents’ or grandparents time, experience the simple yet warm living.

我的FM A to Z

对,我是988的“死”粉丝,在 DJ Loke 的节目中有个环节叫 FM A to Z,(以下是拷贝自988网站的节目介绍):
每星期会分享名字是同一个英文字母开头的小故事。例如 : 这个星期有 Amy, Ada, Amelia, Alice 和 Alicia 的故事,下个星期就有 Ben, Bernard, Bunny, Bryan 和 Bob的故事, 每周男女轮流, 以此类推。

然后在每个人物故事当中,DJ都会配上3首可能跟故事有连接的歌。我也有一个FM A to Z - 想念他的时候心里会哼唱“红豆”,我们的故事像“我多么羡慕你”,我们的结局是“我们没有在一起”。你的FM A to Z又会如何?

红豆

曲:柳重言 词:林夕

还没好好的感受 雪花绽放的气候
我们一起颤抖 会更明白什么是温柔
还没跟你牵著手 走过荒芜的沙丘
可能从此以后学会珍惜 天长和地久

有时候有时候 我会相信一切有尽头
相聚离开都有时候 没有什么会永垂不朽
可是我有时候 宁愿选择留恋不放手
等到风景都看透 也许你会陪我看细水长流

还没为你把红豆 熬成缠绵的伤口
然后一起分享 会更明白相思的哀愁
还没好好的感受 醒著亲吻的温柔
可能在我左右 你才追求孤独的自由

有时候有时候 我会相信一切有尽头
相聚离开都有时候 没有什么会永垂不朽
可是我有时候 宁愿选择留恋不放手
等到风景都看透 也许你会陪我看细水长流

=======================================

我多么羡慕你
("人间四月天"主题曲)

作曲:张洪量 作词:姚谦

有时候 风太急 禁不住 挂念起你
这一刻 离我遥远飞行
有时候 夜太静 拦不住 回忆的心
于是泪 每个夜里如繁星

我多么羡慕你 总可以 转身飞 远远的
我的爱是你 沉重行李 绊住你追新梦的决心
我多么想念你 当时间 都失去 了意义
穿越思念后 等成信箱 让你需要的时候可以 投递

告诉我 沿途中 想与我 分享的心情

=======================================

我们没有在一起

作词:黄婷作曲:陈韦伶

你一直说的那个公园已经拆了
还记得荡著秋千日子就飞起来
漫漫的下午阳光都在脸上撒野
你那傻气我真是想念

那时候小小的你还没学会叹气
谁又会想到他们现在喊我女王
你哈哈笑的样子倒是一点没变
时间走了谁还在等呢

这杯咖啡忘了加糖
真不是我那么伤感
世界太复杂你说单纯很难
我当然都明白

可是呀只有你曾陪我在最初的地方
只有你才能了解我要的梦从来不大
我们没有在一起至少还像情侣一样
我痛的疯的伤的在你面前哭得最惨

我知道你也不能带我回到那个地方
你说你现在很好而且喜欢回忆很长
我们没有在一起至少还像家人一样
总是远远关心远远分享

那条路走呀走呀走呀总要回家
两只手握著晃呀晃呀舍不得放
你不知道吧后来后来我都在想
跟你走吧管它去哪呀

这杯咖啡忘了加糖
真不是我那么伤感
世界太复杂你说单纯很难
我当然都明白

可是呀只有你曾陪我在最初的地方
只有你才能了解我要的梦从来不大
我们没有在一起至少还像情侣一样
我痛的疯的伤的在你面前哭得最惨

我知道你也不能带我回到那个地方
你说你现在很好而且喜欢回忆很长
我们没有在一起至少还像家人一样
总是远远关心远远分享

可是呀只有你曾陪我在最初的地方
只有你才能了解我要的梦从来不大
我们没有在一起至少还像情侣一样
我痛的疯的伤的在你面前哭得最惨

我知道你也不能带我回到那个地方
你说你现在很好而且喜欢回忆很长
我们没有在一起至少还像家人一样
总是远远关心远远分享

我们没有在一起至少还像朋友一样
你远远的关心其实更长

New Plants @ Home

Buying new plant has become one of the SOP of pre-CNY preparation in my family. This post, I’m only going to show 2, of course we bought more than 2 but I didn’t have their photos (kept forgetting to take photos while they were in their optimum beauty, most of them, especially the flowers had withered after CNY).

The florist named this 长寿果 (Fruit for longevity)… but frankly speaking, although we bought it a week before CNY and till now, the fruits still stay on the tree, firmly and beautifully. Worth the money paid for the plant! hehehe

Calamansi, this year we bought the 龙胆桔(dragon heart), bigger fruit than the normal one. Each year I was trying to stop them from buying this, because one day, the fruit will fall and we can’t grow back the fruit as beautiful as those florists do. Then, what happen to the plant next? Transfer to our terrace house, and you know, now my parking space is getting smaller because of those calamansi plants that we bought years back. Of course, I agree that those plants can bring out the CNY feel, especially when you decorate the plant with red ribbons. I think I should go study gardening to grow calamansi later on, maybe can make profit from it, since I have so many of them in my house.

MIA

Sorry for MIA (missing in action) for so long… why I’m not doing any update? I was extremely busy, but if you ask me what I was busying for? No idea…, my time just being occupied with a lot of changes in my life! First of all, busy in work, my team was having a minor reshuffle, so I was busy introducing myself to new customers, analysing sales history, purchase pattern, doing sales plan and etc., busy for CNY preparation, making festive titbits, spring clean, busy refurbishing the house that I bought for tenant, busy to do a lot of “transfer of owner” stuffs… never been this busy before, and I’m glad that I manage them quite well…

Now, everything fall into place, more posts/ updates are on their way. Stay tuned!

Taiwan Women Film Festival 2010

P1060671

很难想象我有这么文艺吗?也对,常在美术科徘徊在及格与不及格边缘的我很难跟艺术占上边。。。只是有时我认为有些事情虽然我们没有办法出钱出力,但我们还是应该身体力行地去参与与支持! 我没有办法出钱去制作电影,也没有天份去制作电影,但至少我坚持支持正版。

偶然、机缘、巧合下(非常老土的开场),看到台湾女性影展在报章上的宣传,碰巧那个周末我没约,碰巧又有一部我想看很久的电影-《刺青》(因为电影题材有点敏感,所以这部电影并没有在本地电影院上映),所以就这样敲定会到场支持咯!

我并没有出席过任何影展,我想最基本的尊重应该是在出席前做一点功课吧。这影展共展出7部电影,其中有4不是纪录片。欲了解更多详情可参阅网站:http://twff2010.blogspot.com

我对纪录片不感兴趣,所以我只看了3部电影 - 《刺青》、《漂浪青春》和《阳阳》。顾名思义,女性影展当然是展示一些从女性角度为出发点或以女性为中心的电影。在影展正式开始前,大会邀请了几位名人上台说几句话,其中一位男士说(不好意思,小女子才疏学浅,有眼又不识泰山,我只知道他是著名作家永乐多斯博士的丈夫),虽然这影展标榜女性电影展,但他希望能够看到更多的男生出席,希望他们看过这些电影后能够更了解女生。事实?95%的观众是女生。。。

第一天的影展,我马拉松式地看了《刺青》和《漂浪青春》,两部电影都出于同一位女导演 - 周美玲。大会还邀请到导演和她的摄影师女友来到马来西亚分享他们的作品呢!

我本人比较喜欢《刺青》,并不是因为《刺青》有偶像明星的加持,而是电影的情节非常前卫(对我这种化石来说),所以它对我来说是一种“culture shock”(虽然事先已经知道故事的内容大纲);加上影片播放后的导演Q&A交流会,导演分享了她想藉由这部电影所要表达的讯息和意义,让我多了一个角度去回味这部电影。导演说,《刺青》想要表达的是“突破”,当我们遇到挫折或懦弱时,我们如何突破心理的障碍。竹子选择让刺青的痛来减轻心里的内疚、小绿选择逃避(逃避现实,活在网路虚拟的世界里)来证明自己的存在、竹子的弟弟则选择了遗忘来解决问题。。。但他们的问题依然存在,若他们无法突破自己,他们将无法获得真正的自由和得到真正的快乐和幸福。。。

《漂浪青春》这部片子则由3个不同的故事组成,3个故事看似不相干但主人翁在他们生命的某个阶段却有一些交集,这也是一部值得欣赏的电影,只可惜我听不懂闽南语,所以我想这削减了我对这部电影的共鸣和喜欢程度吧!

至于《阳阳》,它是第二天的压轴电影。我必须说对不起,导演和该片的摄影师,我本人应该是因为有“motion sickness”的毛病,所以我并不能很专注的看完整部电影,尤其是阳阳和她的经纪人跳舞的那一段,我只能闭上双眼。

看吧!虽然看了几部这么优秀且得奖无数的艺术电影,让我分享观后感还是说不出什么所以然。我重申,不是电影不好,只是个人造诣非常有限。
