  • A TIME FOR US Epilogue
     |  )

    Monday, May 11, 2009 9:39PM / Members only

    Now that my new album has released,
    I can finally put down the big burden that’s been weighing on my chest.
    Tell you the honest truth,
    Each time when I release an album and I tell my friends that I’m really nervous,
    They don’t believe me.
    They always tell me not to say things like what a newcomer usually says.
    But I’ve always felt that
    as a singer,
    each time I release an album is like a mid-stage test.
    It doesn’t matter how many functions you attend,
    this is actually the most important moment where you can exhibit yourself.
    At different stages of my life,
    I’ve had different moods and feelings when it comes to making an album.
    No matter what the response is from the public,
    the record of growth has already been written,
    and no one can change it.
    This time while I was producing ‘a time for us’,
    it just happen that the news of the financial crisis was surfacing,
    and the whole atmosphere changed into something very strange and heavy.
    What I noticed was,
    people thought of things in a pessimistic way,
    and people had lower tolerance when faced with bad situations.
    There was less laughter,
    and exchanged in place of it was sighs if despair.
    I’m not just talking about everybody in general,
    It includes me as well.
    I, the positive ambassador, was nearly affected by this terrible evil monster.
    I don’t understand the issue enough to discuss this topic in great depth like how it’s impacted and affected society,
    and I’m definitely not going to teach everybody how to live your lives.
    I don’t understand it,
    I just want to be happy.
    Everybody was born
    with the same purpose in life,
    and that is to obtain happiness.
    Some people will have a love relationship,
    some people will work hard at their jobs,
    some people will do things not matter what it takes,
    some people live happily in peace,
    and I think,
    the most important thing is that people know how to be grateful.
    Only this way,
    people will feel at peace in their hearts.
    I can understand
    that in a bustling society such as Hong Kong,
    everybody hopes to obtain even more things,
    they hope to gain more knowledge,
    gain more power and abilities,
    gain more acceptances from others,
    and gain more praise.
    But the more they think about it, the more confused they get,
    And that is how their troublesome matters arise.

    As for the idea behind ‘a time for us’,
    I hope I can explain a bit about it here for everyone.
    Music, in our daily lives
    is something that we cannot be separated from,
    because with music,
    we can find something in common with each other,
    and you can listen to it whether you’re happy or sad.

    Because of this,
    My album didn’t have much direction when I first started,
    We just slowly thought about using this idea and then developed in that direction
    since I’ve already tried what I wanted to do with my previous two albums.
    This time I tackled it more with my heart, less thought,
    and I ultimately discovered that music naturally led us in the right direction.
    The result at the end was very effective,
    and I guess you can say that it made other people happy.
    It was something I didn’t expect to happen.

    Thanks to all my good friends who contributed their hard work and efforts, YEAH!


    The only thing that I regret is that we were short of YY’s assistance,
    I hope that we’ll have an opportunity to cooperate together in the future.

    Last by not least, I’d just like to remind everyone don’t forget to watch my self-directed MV,Mong Yau Cho (忘憂草 – Forget Worry Grass)!

    Thanks to Disneyland for giving me the rare opportunity to spend some time with my family,
    Even though our lifestyles and social circles are totally different,
    But I always feel happiest whenever I get to see them.
    I got to work and play at the same time,

    And I was so tired by the end of the day.  
      


    RODY is just over a year old and he loves Mickey Mouse.
    Mickey is only slightly taller than you now but I hope that he will be able to accompany you when you get married in the future!!!


    The East Music Awards in Shanghai;
    In the evening I met with up Yumiko who is currently studying in Shanghai and we had dinner together.
    That night she brought along a very special guest to dinner,
    Honestly I’ve never had the chance to go out and have dinner with Mandy in Hong Kong,
    But fate has given us this wonderful opportunity to sit down together and have a good chat.

    Very good, very good.
    She looks even more beautiful than when she was in Hong Kong,
    She’s about to open a café in Taiwan,
    And she’s really busy,
    But she still made an effort and took some time out to visit a good friend in Shanghai,
    Such a good girl.
    I feel so happy for her
    Knowing that she’s living a happy life,
    Keep up the awesome work,
    We’ll meet again in Taiwan.



    For two days in a row, I did photo shoots for two special magazine companies.
    One was for a magazine that I haven’t cooperated with in quite a long time called East Touch,
    The other was for City Magazine; in the ten years since I’ve been working in the industry, this was my second time working with them.
    The thing that caught my interest and the reason why I’m cooperating with them is because they both had different themes for the photo shoot.
    Each organization was very thoughtful with their ideas,
    And it’s not very often that this happens.
    Honestly speaking, I really don’t like taking photos.
    I’ve come across some magazines that just randomly select some pretty clothes from some famous brand name,
    And then without any good reason, they ask me to conjure up some poses for the camera so they can take some shots.
    Even though I tried my best to do the job well,

    I still found it hard to concentrate on the task,
    So that is why I hope I get to see the photos taken by these two very different styled magazines soon.
    I know it will be good.



    Two of me in the photo;
    Me in 2000 and me in 2009,
    I used to look like a bread bun,
    And now what do I have that’s different?
    There are just too many changes,

    But lucky me, I’ve still managed to retain many precious things.
    I had so many mixed feelings and emotions
    While holding on to this magazine,
    The most interesting thing I discovered was that the person who did my make-up back then
    Was the same make-up artist who helped do my make-up now, arris.
    Unfortunately inside the magazine,
    It mentioned how back then, she arrived late!!!!
    Reading the magazine made us very happy!

    After the photo shoot was over,
    I shared a lot of my inner thoughts and feelings with the reporters.
    There were a lot of questions where I took my time before giving a thoughtful answer.
    Sometimes,
    I honestly don’t know how to analyze myself.
    Hopefully you’ll be satisfied with my answers.

    Brother Pau’s birthday,
    Brother Pau’s wife prepared a beautiful bass guitar shaped cake for her husband.
    Romantic!!!!!!
    But I don’t know why our mouths became black after eating this cake?


    In the process of recording a song;
    This song was a lot harder to sing than I originally thought,
    I saw Shu Man working hard producing this song for me,
    So how would I dare to slack off?


    I recorded the song very quickly today.
    At 8pm I went to watch DUFFY at the arena,
    I took advantage of this relaxing period
    And observed the many different onstage performing styles.
    It was just a very simple album press release conference,
    Using the skills of bare essentials,
    But there were things to take away from it.
    I really like the way how Duffy is so calm,
    My friend watched the show with me said,
    Watching her perform on stage was just like watching a really good rehearsal,
    She had no signs of stress or pressure,
    She’s totally concentrated,
    And she doesn’t seem to care if there is an audience below the stage admiring her performance or not.
    Having total confidence in yourself when you perform
    Is the most captivating thing that every performer strives for.
    In saying that,
    There were people in the audience fully absorbing the atmosphere,
    But they started making a racket, singing and dancing in the corridors,
    Security guards had no choice but to stop them.

    Actually, watching a show is all about having fun.
    If the audience didn’t create that little bit of disturbance,
    This type of intoxicated response
    Shouldn’t be much of a problem, right?


    All in all,
    This week was a happy week.
