(updated blog post)

I don't remember how many times we've performed at Atlantic City. I started performing there since the late 1980s with Elizabeth Lee, Ellen Chan and Lo Yuen Yan. This group can be considered...classic!

These few years I've been performing at TRUMP TAJ MAHAL. Maybe because this place has more dimension hence the sound equipment are better. The show on the 14th was not bad. There were some changes to the rundown, we changed some songs. Audiences' response? Usually the audience at the casino are get high slowly, they need warming up. We started the show after 1am and performed till 3am or 4am and ate some porridge after that. Before we knew it, dawn had arrived.

We will be performing at LV on the 20th, there will be a press conference later. LV fans, give us some response when we start the show!


We attended the press conference yesterday and went to LV at night. This time we stay at Mandalay Bay, my first time here!

The weather here is so good today!


“After show Photos” ? 嘻嘻，遲了一點...

這是在慶功時影的 :

“After show Photos” ? Hee, was abit late...

We took these during the celebration dinner.

還有在LV演唱會時收到的”銀紙花”，呢樣禮物歌手收到真係會好開心，面額越大越開心，哈哈！

講笑吧！

We received "money flowers" at the LV concert. Singers usually feel happy receiving such 'plants', the larger the notes, the happier, haha!

Kidding! (i think the last line means kidding..)

All of you guys must remember: exams are but just one of the hurdles in life. If the results are good, of course one would be happy. However, if you did not do well, remember that exams do not represent everything. It's not the end of the world. There lies thousands or maybe even millions of obstacles in front of you. It's more important to find out why you didn't succeed.
I scored a grade D for my Chinese in my exams, definitely not a good grade. But now, I've written lyrics for hundreds of Chinese songs. Hence, no one knows what will happen in the future. Do not give up, let us be strive together!

blog post on September 4, 2009,
hear part of the new song now!

全新派台作品 : 嫲嫲 (試聽版)
New song: Grandma (preview)

一直以來，好想有一隻歌講關於父母/長輩/老人家，但一來歌詞很難寫，寫得太深入好容易變成老套，太表面又不夠到肉，二來亦不容易找到合寫的melody，這件事，一直放在心裡。

今年年初和林夕飯局，將這個idea 和他研究，原來他也想寫，於是我們一直在等可以寫這個題材的melody出現，但收歌收到第五、六隻了還沒有，正在想可能又要等下一張碟時，Vincent Chow交來了這首，感謝夕爺在電話裡邊說很難寫，但又邊不辭勞苦地修改又修改，最後成了這首我超喜歡的...

All along, I wanted to have a song about parents/elderly. However, it's not easy to compose such lyrics. If it's too deep, the song might sound too traditional. But if it's too "on the surface", there won't be enough meaning in it. Second, it's not easy to a suitable melody. This issue has been in my heart for long.

Earlier this year, I met with Lam Chik and discussed this idea with him. I found out that he actually wanted to write such a song too. Hence, we both began waiting for a melody that will enable us to compose the lyrics. The fifth and sixth song came to us but nothing was suitable. While we were saying we might have to wait till the next album to do it, Vincent Chow presented this melody. Thank you to Lam Chik who told me over the phone how hard it is to write the lyrics and yet continued to edit them. In the end, this became a song that I like very much...

嫲嫲 曲：Vincent Chow 詞：林夕
Grandma
music: Vincent Chow
lyrics: Lam Chik

她 老來難免 遺忘甚麼是甜
She, who is growing older, starts to forget the taste of sweetness
當 炒菜落得太多鹽 看著這天
Realising that she has added too much salt into what she's cooking, she stares into the sky

她 怕人嫌棄
She is afraid of being abandoned
沉默或撒嬌 只驚再不重要 無人要 無人去引她一笑
At times she remains silent, at times she throws tantrums. All because she's afraid that she will become unimportant or nobody wants her, or nobody cares to make her smile anymore..

嫲嫲糊塗如娃娃
Grandma is muddle-headed like a child
麻煩時誰來親她 誰留神誰在慢慢變化
Who comes to her when there's trouble? Who's actually caring and who's changing?
當天將爸爸當寶貝 來到了現在盡量像寶寶關愛她
Daddy was her little treasure who now loves her like his child
兒時人人如娃娃 頑皮仍人人寵他 誰憐誰何妨掉換一下
Everyone's like a doll when they're young, playful but yet everybody adores him, if only we can turn our sympathy around for awhile
老花的雙眼像小孩 望大人講 病了別要怕 ha…
With eyes like a child staring at an adult who tells her not to be afraid when she's sick

她 有時投訴 為何沒法聽真 兒孫都細聲在談笑 未知道 連鄰舍也都聽到
At times she complains, why didn't we pay attention to her? The grandchildren are chatting among themselves, none of them knows, but the neighbours do.

(repeats 4 lines of chorus)
老花的雙眼多眨幾下 像提醒 誰來給她保駕
She blinks her eyes a few times, as if to remind who will be her escort

誰由誰全力湊大 大路上又怕走歪
Who brought the little ones up? Who led them to walk a good path?
現在沒力氣可走過馬路問哪位可帶帶
Now she has no strength to cross the road, who will take her along?
輪到她要關懷 嫲嫲乖
It's now her turn to be cared. Be good, Grandma

孩兒能成為爸媽 從前由誰扶一把 誰能逃年月在演化
Children who have now become parents, who took care of them in the past? Who can escape from the advancement of the society.
過去既製造過寵兒 捱到了現在但願讓她得到縱寵一下
She was the one to fondle everybody, after those harsh times, she looks for fond moments
從前由誰來當家 現在是誰扶穩她
Who took care of the household, and now, who will hold her steady?
如孩童無助別驚訝 看她此際亦看到你的將來
Don't be afraid if you're like a helpless child, looking at her is like seeing your future
留心點好嗎 ha......
Take more care..alright?

她蒼老了 她可愛似 娃娃
She is now old, she is as cute as a child

(not the very best of translation but it's very touching! of course, the cantonese lyrics makes more sense and is much more touching but that's roughly the meaning of the song above..any mistakes pls feel free to comment!)
