下雨天

刚刚听了LARA/南拳妈妈的“下雨天”, 歌词刚好跟今天的心情相反。

下雨天了怎么办 我好想你
不敢打给你 我找不到原因
什么失眠的声音 变得好熟悉
沉默的场景 做你的代替
陪我听雨滴 期待让人越来越沉迷
谁和我一样 等不到他的谁
爱上你我总在学会 寂寞的滋味
一个人撑伞
一个人擦泪
一个人好累
怎样的雨 怎样的夜
怎样的我能让你更想念
雨要多大 天要多黑
才能够有你的体贴其实
没有我你分不清那些
彻别 接近还能多一些
别说 你会难过别说你想改变
被爱的人不用道歉


今天，下雨。
而我，没有一个人独自撑伞。。。谢谢你。
今天的我，不用一个人为自己擦去泪水。。。谢谢你。
因为有你在，尽管多累也有勇气撑下去。
Because I know you won't leave me alone.

Music recording....hmmz

Wao...i didn't know Audacity can record so well!!

This morning and earl afternoon I spent all my time recording my Guzheng music. That was so cool! now i can play the left hand and riht hand seperately....and i can do a duet too! Just record one..then record anoher part...join them together and there we go! But I still have a problem that can;t be solved...Its the timing problem...It wsa ok just recording the first time,then once it comes to recording the second part, it was always half a beat slower when i play it....Mel! can you pls tell me how to solve it?? It drove me nuts to play half beat faster in the music jut to keep up with the beat in the second part....

Then I went to my friend's house for dinner.....omg...the laksa was soooooo nice!!! I wish i had two stomachs!now i am sooo full...and so sleepy....

稻香

詞：周杰倫　曲：周杰倫
編曲：micel Lin

對這個世界如果你有太多的抱怨
跌倒了就不敢繼續往前走
為什麼人要這麼的脆弱 墮落
請你打開電視看看
多少人為生命在努力勇敢的走下去
我們是不是該知足
珍惜一切　就算沒有擁有

還記得你說家是唯一的城堡　隨著稻香河流繼續奔跑
微微笑　小時候的夢我知道
不要哭讓螢火蟲帶著你逃跑　鄉間的歌謠永遠的依靠
回家吧　回到最初的美好

不要這麼容易就想放棄　就像我說的
追不到的夢想　換個夢不就得了
為自己的人生鮮艷上色　先把愛塗上喜歡的顏色
笑一個吧　功成名就不是目的
讓自己快樂快樂這才叫做意義
童年的紙飛機　現在終於飛回我手裡

所謂的那快樂　赤腳在田裡追蜻蜓追到累了
偷摘水果被蜜蜂給叮到怕了　誰在偷笑呢
我靠著稻草人吹著風唱著歌睡著了
哦　哦　午後吉他在蟲鳴中更清脆
哦　哦　陽光灑在路上就不怕心碎
珍惜一切　就算沒有擁有

還記得你說家是唯一的城堡　隨著稻香河流繼續奔跑
微微笑　小時候的夢我知道
不要哭讓螢火蟲帶著你逃跑　鄉間的歌謠永遠的依靠
回家吧　回到最初的美好

One Step At A Time-Jordin Sparks

Hurry up and wait
So close, but so far away
Everything that you've always dreamed of
Close enough for you to taste
But you just can't touch

You wanna show the world, but no one knows your name yet
Wonder when and where and how you're gonna make it
You know you can if you get the chance
In your face and the door keeps slamming
Now you're feeling more and more frustrated
And you're getting all kind of impatient waiting
We live and we learn to take

One step at a time
There's no need to rush
It's like learning to fly
Or falling in love
It's gonna happen when it's
Supposed to happen that we
Find the reasons why
One step at a time

You believe and you doubt
You're confused, you got it all figured out
Everything that you always wished for
Could be yours, should be yours, would be yours
If they only knew

When you can't wait any longer
But there's no end in sight
When you need to find the strength
It's the faith that makes you stronger
The only way we get there
Is one step at a time

Take one step at a time
There's no need to rush
It's like learning to fly
Or falling in love
It's gonna happen when it's
Supposed to happen that we
Find the reasons why
One step at a time

P.S. : This is one of the best songs EVER I've listened to ( Yeh I know I liek all kinda music! ). Great beats and rhythm; meaningful lyric and very uplifing! Two thumbs up! Hope you guys will enjoy it!

Shall we play this song in M@P next year =P?

可惜不是你 - 梁静茹

这一刻 突然觉得好熟悉
像昨天 今天同时在放映
我这句语气 原来好像你
不就是我们爱过的证据
差一点 骗了自己骗了你
爱与被爱不一定成正比
我知道被疼是一种运气
但我无法完全交出自己

努力为你改变 却变不了 预留的伏线
以为在你身边 那也算永远
仿佛还是昨天 可是昨天 已非常遥远
但闭上我双眼 我还看得见

可惜不是你 陪我到最后
曾一起走却走失那路口
感谢那是你 牵过我的手
还能感受那温柔

那一段 我们曾心贴着心
我想我更有权力关心你
可能你 已走进别人风景
多希望 也有 星光的投影

努力为你改变 却变不了 预留的伏笔
以为在你身边 那也算永远
仿佛还是昨天 可是昨天 已非常遥远
但闭上我双眼 我还看得见

可惜不是你 陪我到最后
曾一起走却走失那路口
感谢那是你 牵过我的手
还能感受那温柔

感谢那是你 牵过我的手
还能温暖我胸口

Those nice memories...

Music had alasy been a part of me... and looking at my poor GuZheng which is lying behind me, I sorta felt sorry for him...coz I havent; touched it since...I dunno when -.-"

I fell in love with this traditional instrument when I was young; and after using my crying-n-begging-tactic, I finally started my first lesson after Primary 6 in mainland china during my holidays. It was harder than I thought and I would admit I actually wanted to give up after not reaching my teacher's requirment for one piece....my rhythm was wrong, i couldn;t remember the music, and most importantly i had blisters all over my fingers. I didnt; have my lessons constantly coz I had to head back to Macau for school. In Form 1 my teacher asked me to go back and sit for an exam...so i was like "wth....I've only learnt for a few months all in total...and grade 3 exams now? how about grade one? i should start from there!" ...I am not someone who liek to play to pass exams...I hate to practise that few music just to play for exam.But I sat for it and i passed...and thats the end of muic exam in my life...I am not going to do it again.

After I came ot Australia, I picked up GuZheng again from another teacher...not starting from zero but its hard for me since all teachers have their own feel to music and own ways of playing certain music. I joined her ensemble even tho I stopped the lessons with her eventally. Ihad a lot of fun in the ensemble, its great to have a bunch of friend who share the same interest and passion...We are from different background, different age, but we bonded well...

2005 Crown Casino-Chinese New Year

*1st time being MC...totally freaked out...coz I lost my bloody cheat sheet..

2006 Crown Casino- Chinese New Year

-We had 3 performances at Riverside/Crown.

2007 Crown Casino- Chinese New Year

As for my high school, I am really glad I found someone who are interested in the combination of Chinese/western music... We had so much fun together rehearsing, making our own part and contribute to the piece of art. They are all talented musician and singers, and most importantly, they are those dearest friends who always stand by me.

2005 Multicultural Dinner

- 2 Guzhengs, 1 Erhu - we played 3 pieces of chinese music

2006 Mulcultural Dinner

- Combination of Cello, Piano and Guzheng + singer

-Jay Chow "发如雪"

-2 Guzhengs - "Jasmine"- Chinese folk music

-It was one of the memorable performance coz i was wearing the chinese top that I made for myself lol...

2007 Multicultural Dinner

- We play a piece that was being composed by our very talented friend, who was also the pianist of the performnce. We had drums, cello, piano and Guzheng. Oh!! C'on , guys ...we should make our own band again!!!

P.S: Being the MC od the night as well as the performaner gave me absolutely pain...coz there wasn't enough time to get change and most importantly... it was my first time wearing high heels and carried my Guzheng around....walkin up stairs...but it was the last performance in high school...was very memorable =]

Even thought we don't play music together anymore now; the memories are always there and they can always make me smile... and I will always cherish them...I miss you all!

Last Day of UNI !!!..for me=P

I can't believe it is the last day of sem 2 for me already...End of year 1 pharmacy course, with exams ahead in 3 weeks' time. Today i finish at 3ish and so I decided to go MC and bumped around. Vallygirl is always my regular 'point of interest'...I've picked a top and a dress randomly and here're some snapshots =]



But since my pharmacy paid me AUD200 less this week (and last week...We got paid fortnightly)...I decided to save some $$ and not do any shopping today...and since I have too many dress and tops...I really should leave my wardrobe a breathing spot.

It had been a cheerful day today...and I realised the cherry blossom outside my house finally got little fruits! Look!

I still remember how beautiful the flowers look, but sadly their lives are always so short; only last for a few days... The fruit...from my memory last year, was sour. I always had to fight with the birds to get a perfect little cherry =S Even thought the fruit of cherry blossom might not taste as nice as other fruits that are being sold from the supermarket; it is natural, a gift from nature. Its the beauty of nature...the smell of lives and the taste of growth. I just love it. I never really notice the skinny-weird-looking-tree outside my house that I walk pass everyday would be so beautiful.

There are a lot of things or people that you might come across from time to time; they might be something or someone you see everyday,,,so often that they might seem so insignificant and ordinary; but if you do pay attention to these little things around you, and appreciate their existance,you would realise there are more to your lives and the things around you. Everything is unique; and everyone, everything here are doing their very best to make a difference in yours, and their own lives...

Can't wait for the cherries this year!

Oh by the way, I visited my friend's blog just now and foudn one of my favourite song.."I'm already there"...I used to listen to the Westlife version, but this video really touched me...I would like to share with all of you here. And of course, thx for squeeishhie's blog! Enjoy!
