父子- 李克勤

父子

歌手：李克勤

十歲起當我練球技似笠臣出眾
人成熟只變成現場觀眾
願你懂多努力難避免四大皆空
捧金盃會發覺理想很重

#大個仔請見諒其實我不是巨人
無能力給你們做人寶訓
若有天當你未能做個偉大醫生
也要信這世界美好吸引

當歌手當司機當警察不緊要
只需要你似個鐵人病痛少
得不到金靴獎根本我不需要
我最想你似我面上懷著笑

Repeat #

當歌手當司機當警察不緊要
只需要你碰上困難別困擾
想得到得不到少不免灰心了
我最想你似我面上懷著笑
我最驚你似我漸漸麻木了

In retrospect…

Hello

Hello…

HELLO!

A sense of guilt for not keeping my blog updated.

With much motivation, I eventually manage to do so.

Twentieth day into Year Two Thousand and Seven…

My mind says I should jot down a wee bit of my thoughts

Been pretty occupied by different things upon return from HK:

Went to Nottingham, Cambridge, Sheffield, Essex…

Failed and re-sat exams…

Upset various people but at the same time made a few happy…

Found something I have been looking for many many years…

A funny feeling in heart which I struggle to handle.

Looking ahead in Year 2007 - I expect challenges, certainties, uncertainties…

What’s my vision for 2007? I yet to find out…

(for sure, I need to get FAT!)

p.s. hope all my readers are keeping well. Hello again!

不如不見 – 陳奕迅

不如不見

作曲：陳小霞
填詞：林夕
編曲：孫偉明 / C.Y. / 陳珀
監製：Davy Chan / C.Y. / Eason Chan

頭沾濕　無可避免　倫敦總依戀雨點
乘早機　忍耐著呵欠　完全為見你一面

＊尋得到　塵封小店　回不到相戀那天
　靈氣大　概早被污染　誰為了生活不變

　越渴望見面然後發現　中間隔著那十年
　我想見的笑臉　只有懷念　不懂　怎去再聊天
　像我在往日還未抽煙　不知你怎麼變遷
　似等了一百年　忽已明白
　即使再見面　成熟地表演　不如不見＊
Repeat＊

Is it that long?

Has it been that LONG since I last updated my space?

Still lots to think about, if not more…

But for my fellow readers: I still have a pulse and I am still breathing.

p.s. thanks for all your kind words

Evita – So What Happens Now…

ycalexchan — Tue, 14 Nov 2006 22:26:11 +0000

Evita

(Eva:)
I don’t expect my love affairs to last for long
Never fool myself that my dreams will come true
Being used to trouble I anticipate it
But all the same I hate it, wouldn’t you?

Chorus:

(Eva:) So what happens now?
(Che:) Another suitcase in another hall
(Eva:) So what happens now?
(Che:) Take your picture off another wall
(Eva:) Where am I going to?
(Che:) You’ll get by, you always have before
(Eva:) Where am I going to?

Time and time again I’ve said that I don’t care
That I’m immune to gloom, that I’m hard through and through
But every time it matters all my words desert me
So anyone can hurt me, and they do

(chorus)

Call in three months time and I’ll be fine, I know
Well maybe not that fine, but I’ll survive anyhow
I won’t recall the names and places of each sad occasion
But that’s no consolation here and now.

(chorus, with Che’s lines being sung by the starlets)

(Huevo:)
Don’t ask anymore.

San Francisco – Scott McKenzie

San Francisco

If you’re going to San Francisco
Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair
If you’re going to San Francisco
You’re gonna meet some gentle people there
For those who come to San Francisco
Summertime will be a love-in there
In the streets of San Francisco
Gentle people with flowers in their hair
All across the nation,
Such a strange vibration
People in motion
There’s a whole generation,
With a new explanation
People in motion, people in motion
For those who come to San Francisco
Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair
If you come to San Francisco
Summertime will be a love-in there
If you come to San Francisco
Summertime will be a love-in there

According to Scott McKenzie, John Phillips wrote ‘San Francisco’ in twenty minutes. He wrote it to promote the upcoming non-profit Monterey Pop Festival. John Phillips co-produced and played guitar.

San Francisco – Day 3 – Napa Valley

ycalexchan — Tue, 17 Oct 2006 01:44:02 +0000

I DON’T WANT TO GO BACK YET!

An interesting day.

A group of four, we drove north today to this famous wine region. ‘Napa’ in Native American derivation could mean ‘house’, ‘grizzly bear’, ‘motherland’ or ‘fish’. Perhaps I just need a bit of my imagination.

With over 200 wineires, Napa Valley is famous for its Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Merlot and Zinfandel. It became famous in Paris Wine Tasting of 1976, which featured a Napa Valley Chardonnay & Cabernet Sauvignon besting several famous French labels in a blind tasting format!

What did we do?

We started off with a PICNIC with wine, cheese and various munchies. Merrily, we then visited various wineries. Regrettably, I only bought ONE bottle (UK customs limit = 1 L)

Photos to follow.

By the way, do you know the default wallpaper for Windows XP – Bliss, is a landscape in the Napa Valley?

NOW YOU KNOW!
