Lyrics

I always maintained that a good song can have good melody, but it will be only be great song if it is gifted a some good lyrics to pair along as well. And I almost miss 1 ...

When I bought the original CD of 纵贯线，i never refer to the lyrics in details and just enjoy the songs while I am driving. Anyway the wordings are too small for me to read comfortably.

And when i need to prepare the lyrics and remember the lyrics abit better, in order to get bigger fonts, i downloaded the lyrics from baidu.com for easy reading. Only then i realised how horribly wrong can the lyrics in the web can be.

The most touching 2 line of the song, in my opinion, are 孩子你呀 多些你的话 in verse 1.
and in the next verse, the lyrics changed slightly to: 孩子你呀 多谢你的话.
Many would regard it as a misprint. the lyrics in the web never reflect that. I notice that in the original CD booklet. Some would think they are same pronounciation / same meaning anyway.

I instantly recall the conversation with the mother at the wake. She wished the young could leave behind more words before departing so suddenly. Exactly the same feeling the 1st verse trying to express.

then when it come to the 2nd verse, notice the single word change...孩子你呀 多谢你的话.
Instead lamenting missing the words, the song is expressing we thank him for the words he has already spoken.

1 world, same pronounciation, so subtle the change, yet the meaning and progress of the song feeling bring us to a new level of understanding. I hope u can understand what I am to say. Not easy to put all these thoughts and feelings that go through my head n my heart when reading the lyrics ....

I am so glad I bought the original CD and went through the lyrics in details....and not believe the lyrics downloaded from the web. I could miss so much....

Dedicated to Kelvin - 一路走好

天使的眼泪-纵贯线（罗大佑）

那夜里的歌声 有天使的眼泪

在星光中苏醒 随夜幕而低垂

如婴儿那一般 甜蜜的沉睡

无缘故的飘摇 在幸福的追随

孩子你呀 多些你的话

是否有点累 是否有点醉

他仁慈善良的爱 领你我冲破狂风巨浪

就如一颗明亮的晨星 带给我无限的希望

啊夜里的梦中 有天使的眼泪

为微笑而苏醒 为呼吸而无悔

如婴儿那一般 甜蜜的沉睡

有缘分的迁移 在幸福的追随

孩子你呀 多谢你的话、

是否有点累 是否有点醉

是否有点累 是否有点醉

是否有点累 是否有点醉。。。。。。

Year End HK visit

Finally PSLE is over!!! and only now wife has the mood to discuss about where to go for our annual vacations. There is a small window where the choices of Sec school are made...and thet need a week to process the national applications and release the final choice of all PSLE school leavers.

So we have about a week of window to go for a short getaway. Really to make full use the the 7-8 days, we want to minimise the travelling and go for a places where whole family can enjoy. In the end our choice to is go to HK-ShengZhen for 8 days.

We have been there 3 times before actually...but our last visit is >12 years ago b4 my son is even born!!. so I believe things in HK has changed so much for the past decade and worth visiting for a week of shopping and fun in the Ocean park. We will be taking the new cable car too!!

And needless to say, changes in SZ will be even more drastic, and for the better, for the past years. Hope it is still a shopping and food papadise. This time, for the first time, we will be staying in SZ for 1 night to maximise our time there and less hectic daily travel. I am prepare to burn a hole in my pocket there actually....books / sports shoes / jerseys will be my main targets of shopping in SZ.

I have book the flights (Jetstar) and hotels (Intercontinental) for all 8 days. have also done my home work on where to visit for each day....so all things set...just awaiting DEc 14 to come....then we will be off for a deserved rest. :)
