《一点点》

已经半夜十二点
对你的想念仿佛多了点
只见窗外雨滴一点点
心中伤处也疼一点

不觉已到一两点
对你的思念不只多了点
只见窗外滂沱好几点
心中深处也冷一点

对你的付出每天一点点
只望我们关系好一点
可惜缘分却没半点
脚步停留在此点
最初见面地点
对你还有点
怀念一点
一点点

作词:小飞机
二零一二年六月三十日完成

歌词大纲：短短几句词叙说着一位男孩在夜里思念着某个女孩，只因某些原因无法和她在一起。虽然付出了许多，但得不到想要的结果。

感言：即词五《勇敢向前》，这是朋友系列之中的第三段词。此词献给其中一位我认识了很久的朋友。此词基于我听说的一段情。我想对方对自己的感情/好感是我们不能控制的，只要自认付出了你的全部，那过程也是无悔的，哪怕结果如何。什么阶段也好，最好的选择应该就是向前看吧！

词十的结构简略，句句终于一个“点”字，第二段落延续着第一段的情境，而最后一段的结构意在相继缩短的句子里把意境推高到最高点。灵感来自中学时常玩的一个无聊游戏，即haha金字塔：

hahahaha
hahaha
haha
ha

在此祝愿我们有更多个十七年的友谊！

放眼未来：词十已出，我只能说我将陆续筹备相映的词十一。敬请期待！哈哈！

小邓十七周年

最近刚记得上个月是小邓去世十七周年，于是上了youtube去找找相关的视频看看。。看着看着就发现有一位女歌手模仿小邓模仿得颇有味道。。 她就是来自广东的娃娃（真名为李烁）。。对于小邓模仿者，我颇有相当高的要求。。觉得娃娃她样子清秀、歌声甜美，可说是我听过的模仿者中最好的一位。。以下视频共分享： 《向鄧麗君致敬》 (从26：01开始）

Lyrics no. 9

《你和我》
原曲取之 Olivia Ong 所演唱的 You and Me

（前奏：

他们俩手牵着手
同步一起走
一二三四脸贴脸

脚步轻盈踢踏踢踏踩
让这爱情能继续的漫延
多么希望我们也如此甜蜜）

散步在熟悉的街道
事已变但情依旧
他们俩将永远在一起

虽然那些日子不在
他们的情怀却没更改
魔幻力量它在空中

享受那
春风吹来的丝丝暖意
夏天它悄悄地来临
悄悄地来

他们俩手牵着手
同步一起走
一二三四脸贴脸

脚步轻盈踢踏踢踏踩
让这爱情能继续的漫延
多么希望我们也如此甜蜜

紧握着手他带着路
散步公园里太阳下
散发着暖暖的情意

享受那
春风吹来的丝丝暖意
夏天它悄悄地来临
悄悄地来

他们俩手牵着手
同步一起走
一二三四脸贴脸

脚步轻盈踢踏踢踏踩
让这爱情能继续的漫延
多么希望我们也如此甜蜜

他们俩手牵着手
同步一起走
一二三四脸贴脸

脚步轻盈踢踏踢踏踩
让这爱情能继续的漫延
多么希望我们也如此甜蜜

希望我们也甜蜜
希望我们也甜蜜
也甜蜜也甜蜜

作词:小飞机
二零一二年三月二十八日完成

歌词大纲： 与原词相近的，此词叙述着一对年轻情侣望着眼前的一对俩老，羡慕着俩老的爱情依然如此甜蜜，但愿他们本身的爱情也能如此长久甜蜜。

感言： 偶然间在youtube看见Olivia演唱的歌曲You and Me，听到副歌时不自觉地把英语歌词翻译成中文。感觉上还蛮顺的，而且并不那么困难，于是便尝试着把其他的段落也翻译成了中文。当时蛮好奇的，还不知道是否存在着中文歌词的blues/jazz风格歌曲。有的话，听起来应该会很有意思吧。

即中学时改编了刘德华/吴宗宪/柯受良的歌曲《笨小孩》的歌词后，这是我再次尝试改编现有歌曲里的歌词。改编后觉得以上的歌词陪着原曲唱起来时还ok，应该不会太怪吧。

另注：在改编的过程中，听到我妹唱着Olivia演唱的英语歌词版的《隐形的翅膀》，即Invisible Wings。听起来也是另一番滋味。

放眼未来： 若碰到适合的歌曲/歌词， 不排除再次接下类似的歌词改编挑战。

《一见钟情》

我
望着陌生的美丽 心中不禁惊喜
手中握着的笔记 停止传递
在脑海里赞叹你的细腻
不可思议的 喜欢上你

你
享受开学的气息 心中充满欢喜
沉醉于欢乐之际 晨运完毕
在教室里同学们再聚集
清晰的空气 陪伴着你

她
猜中了我的心意 脸蛋几许讶异
从我那儿探取消息 左眼关闭
在那刻里帮我保守秘密
一眼瞬间里 我爱上你

别怀疑 笑容很甜蜜 没人能代替
我对你着迷 因你的亮丽
多愿意 希望在这里 时间能慢移
让我沉迷于 一见钟情的你

作词:小飞机
二零一二年一月二十四日完成

歌词大纲：正如词名《一见钟情》， 此词叙述着一见钟情那微妙的情境和那想把片刻化成永恒的渴望。

感言：继《苦冷咸咖啡》之后，近两年半没什么进展，直到今天顺利地把此词写完。回顾词七的感言时，我不是很确定我在最后一段提起的重要歌词是否是此词八。总而言之，这词八的写作工作早已有一段相当长的时间，而想要写这词八的念头更是好些年前的事了。

自从《毕业典礼》得到不错的反馈后，我便着手研究写一个格式相同的词的可能性。几经思考后，我觉得写《毕业典礼》的上集将会是一个不错的选择。其中的考量与因素包括：

- 我一直以来都希望在每一个新的词中尝试新的东西，并且对于写一系列有关的歌词（即有上下词段，犹如书籍）颇感兴趣。

- 记得TTY之前常问我有关一见钟情此事和他是如何的不相信这现象。我想这词八多少能明确地形容一见钟情那微妙的情境吧。

- 也记得TTY说过他蛮喜欢一些作词者是如何能在不同词段中更改少量的词汇但表达出截然不同的意思与意境。所以我便想在应用《毕业典礼》的词构段落的同时，也尽量保持《毕业典礼》中的词句。

在确定歌词大纲与写作方向后，我考虑了是否能够将此词写完。毕竟，《毕业典礼》的灵感来至我个人的经历，而《毕业典礼》的词有大概九成诚实地描写了当时的情况。在上述局限下，完成词八呈现了一定的挑战。

与《毕业典礼》相同，“我”和“你”所指的现实人物是一样的。而“她”、“他”与副歌的段落则令我相当的头疼-

“她”：到底应该以哪一个真实人物与事件作为题材呢？显然的，《毕业典礼》的“她”肯定和词八的“她”是不同的人物。

“他”：想了又想，最终决定把“他”的段落给省略掉了。毕竟“他”在那一刻并还没介入故事的情节里。

副歌：最后因难以仿效《毕业典礼》的效果，结果只是借用了它的词句结构。

放眼未来：暂时有一些确切的想法与构思，希望能在不久的未来实现。可是那将是自创作以来最大的工程，也可以说是一个我蛮想完成的作品。

觉得欧阳菲菲和小邓在这视频里都唱得很棒，特别是小邓在诠释《恋人よ》这首歌时完全唱出了一个女子渴求她恋人留下的那番滋味。。 在网上找不到相关的歌词，可能因为这原本是日语歌，而小邓这版本是唯一的中文版本。。 所以我便干脆自行把歌词打了出来：

恋人よ

在我的心里只有一个你
可是你却对我说你要离我远去
为何你这样忍心不再爱我？
为何你这样忍心来把我抛弃？

我的爱人哟！ 不要离开我！
世界上没有人来把你代替
我不能失去你！ 我不能不爱你！
不能没有你 在我的生命里

Bloons all over again!!! Total madness/lagginess.. died at stage 84 for 1st track..

hmmm.. not sure if i posted this before.. i think i did.. but anyway, seng keat's photo gallery..

刚才在看钻石夜总会的时候看到了一个小女生的表演，觉得她的歌声不错，便上了YouTube去查看她的视频。。原来她便是当时我在百货商场电视里看到的小歌手。。歌唱技巧成熟、号称小江惠的薛珮潔和她搭档的小男歌手張政雄合唱了许多好听的福建歌：

張政雄＆薛珮潔-男人情女人心

wow.. so this blog has been around for 7 years.. talk about long.. watched quite a number of movies lately.. iron man 2 was lousy, red cliff 2 was a little incomprehensible at times (because of the chinese phrases), a beautiful mind was not bad, vanilla sky was ok, inception was interesting, toy story 3 was a typical pixar movie with a more than a tinge of human touch to it, despicable me was a cute/just-for-laughs kinda movie, pride and prejudice was excellent.. did i miss out anything? hmmm..

loved the way pride and prejudice was directed and filmed.. from the lighting to the plot to the acting to the intricate scenes.. everything was just nicely done.. i also like the old english that they speak.. the scene at the end of the movie, where elizabeth was walking on the moor at dawn and turned around to see darcy approaching from across the moor.. that scene was just classic.. definitely a movie worth watching, alongside the movies life is beautiful and be with me..

out of the movies above, i wanna talk a bit more about vanilla sky and inception, both of which touched upon the concept of lucid dreaming.. the directing for both films were good.. i thought that for vanilla sky, the director kinda left much of the explanation for the happenings in the film towards the end.. which kind of leave the viewer in a limbo of ??? for a large part of the movie..

for inception, i guess there are a couple of reasons why people are so fascinated about it.. primarily, i believe, would be because the idea was original and refreshing.. focusing on something that happens every night to everybody, but is just so taken for granted.. dreams.. when i went to watch this movie, it was more of trying to see what ideas i could take away from the movie and use in my dreams instead of just being in the cinema and watching it like any other movies..

i thought i would like to touch on a few concepts/points mentioned in inception.. as someone who can control his dreams, i thought the idea of an architect, forger and chemist was interesting.. although i wonder how practical the different roles are.. for one, the role of the chemist is perhaps similar to that of a sleeping pill.. or a lucid dream-inducing device.. something which isn't really necessary unless you're looking beyond level 1 of dreaming.. as for the forger, i'm not quite sure what his role is.. because as a practitioner (of sorts), i would think that the lucid dreamer is in essence the architect, but perhaps one with greater powers.. for one part, it would seem kind of illogical that if the architect can freely modify the dreamscape of another person, he should be equally able to fend off the dream constucts (or projections of one's subconsciousness, as the film puts it) by simply creating some kind of immovable, unapproachable barrier around himself.. well if you ask me, i'll probably just blast those dream constructs away or in a less violent manner, hypnotise everyone to sleep..

talk about dreaming big.. the scene where eames uttered "don't be afraid to dream a little bigger" and drew out a slightly bigger gun to shoot at the cylinders and make them explode.. i thought that was a little disappointing.. after all if you can flip a whole city on itself, the absurdity of the slightly bigger gun just didn't seem to be there.. eames could probably just point his finger at the cylinders and using his psychic powers, say "blast" and send them bursting into nothingness.. that will be more effecient.. haha..

the movie also mentioned about how fast/slow time passes in the dream.. and if i never remember wrongly, there was a research done which showed that dream time approximate real time ie. the clocks in your dreams tick as fast as the clocks in reality..

well, not trying to shoot down the movie, but just trying to give my own two cents on some things.. after all a movie is not meant to be perfectly logical/factually correct, except maybe if it's a autobiographical or documentary kind of movie..

after talking so much, i think it's kinda weird not to say something.. especially when it's aug 9.. haha.. happy birthday singapore!!! yay!!!

met up with my financial planner yesterday (wei chang, yes the one from 16/02..) to go through the proposals that he came up with after the annual review of the policies.. dawned on me that insurance policies are quite essentially like a wager (albeit one which has quite unusual terms, particularly if you're looking at a life policy).. the following might not be something new, but nevertheless looks kind of ridiculous on first sight..

so i was thinking.. if a life policy is a wager, then what's the bet on? quite simply.. that would have to be the policy holder's life.. and the parties to this wager would be the insurance company/financial institution and the policy holder..

so who's betting on what? looking from the viewpoint of the insurance compnay, they would be betting that the policy holder won't die before the end of the life policy.. what then would be their bounty if they are correct? this would have to be the annual premiums that the policy holder pays..

so then someone must be betting otherwise ie. the policy holder would die before the end of the life policy.. and who can this be but the policy holder?! sounds kind of crazy if you ask me.. the policy holder betting against his own life.. and what would be the bounty if he indeed die before the end of the life policy? this would have to be the sum insured.. another interesting thing about this wager is that the policy holder don't actually win the wager.. because even if he is correct in saying that he would kick the bucket before the policy ends, he won't be one who would get to enjoy the spills! the bounty, or the sum insured, is divided equally between the policy holder's parents (if he is not married), solely his spouse (if he is married), half to his spouse and the remaining divided equally among his childen (if he is married with kids)..

nope.. this blog hasn't died out.. just in case you were wondering.. been more than half a year since any decent post appeared here.. not that i didn't try posting anything during this period.. just that the post was halfway in the making when my fingers stopped their dancing on the keyboard.. partly because the post was in chinese and i found some difficulty in getting the concise message across.. prolonged non-usage of a language, or just a component of it, such as the writing component, can really have a detrimental effect of one's proficiency levels.. but i guess the other reason was that the post was a little extreme.. quite a couple of things happened at the turn of the year and i wasn't really happy during that period..

anyway i'm currently on leave for the whole of this week, which explains why i have the time to write things here.. work has pretty much taken up my life since i started this job.. ... i think i'll leave the discussion here as it is for the moment.. i really dun quite know how to continue the post on this topic.. probably that's why some of my friends turned to locking up their blogs, just so that they can be more free to type whatever they want and be more assured that the chance of any unwanted guests stumbling upon their posts are kept at a minimum..

had lunch with the e2i team on tuesday.. like finally.. haha.. quite a couple of changes since i left.. sumei went back to MOM, meiling joined the team and the present temp is the 2nd temp after me.. anyway i was wondering during the lunch why the team decided to revert back to using a female temp.. haha.. and i thought they wanted a male temp to "somehow" balance the ying-yang in the team.. haha.. lunch was at HANS, somewhere near the office.. reminds me of the team lunches that we often had back then.. i probably mentioned this in some earlier post, but i kinda like the inclusive atmosphere and dynamics of the team.. and probably of the company too.. the team was like a small closely knit family.. probably would be some time before i meet up with the team again, with ming going on maternity leave soon and jessie joining her a couple of months later..

so what else did i do during this week? nothing really worth mentioning, but i'll just write down anyway.. just letting my fingers jump around the keyboard along with my thoughts.. played texas on fb and finally got past the cursed 500k mark.. hah! and yup.. reached the 20m mark.. only to reach the peak of 33m and go down back to 0 with a series of bad bets and reckless play towards the end.. had RT as usual on mon, wed and sat.. my right ankle's still aching from over exertion from 2 consec days of RT.. crappy.. cos i'm still not sure if it'll heal in time for the next session on sat.. went back to playing pangya.. probably like 2 years after i stopped playing it? let's see.. yup.. a check with wikipedia puts the time at around there.. still pretty much the same gameplay.. but i must say that the new players have it way much easier than when i used to play during seasons 1 and 2.. ok.. maybe not that exaggerated.. but definitely easier..

have been thinking about how i can post more often here.. haha.. or well, at least have something appear here on a more frequent basis.. and i thought the tweeter style of blogging might work.. short, simple messages.. of course not that short as to have only 1 sentence.. not that kind.. what's the mentality behind a tweet anyway? from what i've seen thus far, seems to me that tweeters seem to be attention seekers.. or at least that's the impression that i'm getting.. and from my small unrepresentive samples..

i guess the thing that i've been doing the most during my free time these days is really to listen to songs and trying to enjoy the piece from the different perspectives.. from that of the melody, the lyrics, the music arrangement, the vocal techniques, the music video.. fresh points of view do make a song that much more enjoyable and for a longer period of time..

unknowingly i've blogged past midnight and now is the last weekday left of this long 11 day leave.. time really flies.. even when you feel a little bored and are doing nothing much.. this sux.. was thinking i'll return to working on the current set of incomplete lyrics and see how it goes along.. after all, it'll surely be ages before i have the time to lay my hands again on those pieces of paper..

some nice songs to listen to.. just close your eyes and listen..

简单的歌，意境却唱得淋漓尽致：
費玉清 - 小小羊兒要回家


用心去唱的歌，别有一份感动：
陈伟联 - 大海


我个人觉得这是她唱得最好听的英文歌之一：
鄧麗君 + 林子祥 - Endless Love


on a sidenote, i discovered that teresa did covers for a substantial number of songs that were popular during her period.. on yet another sidenote, found this song from a fb newsfeed..

多首歌于一首:
古巨基 - 情歌王
