弦子- 捨不得
作詞：馬嵩惟
作曲：張正宗
編曲：楊陽
第一次你陪我坐著
我的手心是空空的
我知道那些簡訊聲你努力藏著 害怕我難過
不追問到底為什麼 是我最後的溫柔
想笑著附和說分開是好的
但我們卻怎麼 一起哭了
我捨不得 可是時間回不去了
愛你很值得 只是該停了
沒有我你要好好的
我捨不得 最後一次抱緊你了
我們錯過的 錯了就錯了
不用擔心我 我不愛你了
不追問到底為什麼 是我最後的溫柔
想笑著附和說分開是好的
但我們卻怎麼 一起哭了
我捨不得 可是時間回不去了
愛你很值得 只是該停了
沒有我你要好好的
我捨不得 最後一次抱緊你了
我們錯過的 錯了就錯了
不用擔心我 我不愛你了
至少你記憶裡的我 是微笑的
親愛的 有你牽著我的那些日子
真的好快樂
我捨不得 可是時間回不去了
愛你很值得 只是該停了
沒有我你要好好的
我捨不得 最後一次抱緊你了
我們錯過的 錯了就錯了
不用擔心我 我走了

曹格 - 單數
我很清楚 愛是雙數
我不哭 哭也沒有幫助
配合演出 心里有數
下一幕你就要退出
當你淡出 心被空出
都不算數 愛的單數
剩除不盡的孤獨
被出賣的愛 單行的未來
你說過感動不是愛
我為誰悲哀
被出賣的愛 單程回不來
沒能耐再把心剖開
活著但我不存在
我太糊涂 愛是變數
再付出 也數留不住
配合演出 心里有數
你說不再沒有假如
當你淡出 心被空出
都不算數 愛的單數
剩除不盡的孤獨
被出賣的愛 單行的未來
你說過感動不是愛
我為誰悲哀
被出賣的愛 單程回不來
沒能耐再把心剖開
活著但我不存在
被出賣的愛 單行的未來
你說過感動不是愛
我為誰悲哀
被出賣的愛 單程回不來
沒能耐再把心剖開
活著但我不存在
我明白 落單了的愛 不存在
我不哭 哭也沒有幫助
配合演出 心里有數
下一幕你就要退出
當你淡出 心被空出
都不算數 愛的單數
剩除不盡的孤獨
被出賣的愛 單行的未來
你說過感動不是愛
我為誰悲哀
被出賣的愛 單程回不來
沒能耐再把心剖開
活著但我不存在
我太糊涂 愛是變數
再付出 也數留不住
配合演出 心里有數
你說不再沒有假如
當你淡出 心被空出
都不算數 愛的單數
剩除不盡的孤獨
被出賣的愛 單行的未來
你說過感動不是愛

被出賣的愛 單行的未來
你說過感動不是愛
我為誰悲哀
被出賣的愛 單程回不來
沒能耐再把心剖開
活著但我不存在
我明白 落單了的愛 不存在
You belong to me
see the pyramids around the Nile
watch the sunrise from a tropic isle
just remember darling all the while
you belong to me
see the marketplace in old Angier
send me photographs and souvenirs
just remember when a dream appears
you belong to me
and I'll be so alone without you
maybe you'll be lonesome too
fly the ocean in a silver plane
see the jungle when it's wet with rain
just remember till you're home again
you belong to me
oh I'll be so alone without you
maybe you'll be lonesome too
fly the ocean in a silver plane
see the jungle when it's wet with rain
just remember till you're home again
you belong to me

Hold me now
Hold me now by Johnny Logan
Don't... don't close your heart to how you feel
Dream, and don't be afraid the dream's not real
Close your eyes, pretend it's just the two of us again
Make believe this moment's here to stay
Touch... touch me the way you used to do
I know tonight could be all I'll have with you
From now on, you'll be with someone else instead of me
So tonight, let's fill this memory
For the last time
Hold me now
Don't cry, don't say a word
Just hold me now
And I will know.
Though we're apart, we'll always be together
Forever in love
What do you say when words are not enough?
Time... time will be kind once we're apart
And your tears... tears will have no place in your heart
I wish I... I could say how much I'll miss you when you're gone
How my love for you will go on and on and
Hold me now
Don't cry, don't say a word
Just hold me now
And try to understand that I hope at last you've found
What you've been searchin' for
And though I won't be there anymore
I will always love you
Hold me now,
Don't cry, don't say a word Just hold me now
And I will know.
Though we're apart, we'll always be together
Forever in love
What do you say when words are not enough?
What can I say
When my words are not enough......

Colored composers
Synaesthesia - a neurologically based phenomenon in which stimulation of oneOn sensory or cognitive pathway leads to automatic, involuntary experiences in a second sensory or cognitive pathway.
One famous example is Messiaen's synaesthesia in which he said caused him to experience colours when he heard or imagined music.
Additionally, someone told me that C major is fluorescent white.
So, I think music has relation with color. Different modes, moods portray variety of color. Well, we describe our mood as 'blue', you can't really see a 'blue mood' but it's a way of illustrating. This works in music too.
As I recall, my previous post had something about color. So now you can see, I love colors! I cannot imagine life without color.
I have a short list of my relation of color to composers. haha. funny me rite? Have a good laugh after you read this :p
Bach - bright sunset orange
Mozart - powdery baby blue with tinge of violet
Tchaikovsky - sweet pink
Beethoven - dark maroon brown
Schubert - Olive green
Handel - turquoise green
Debussy - light bluish grey
Messiaen - dark magenta
Chopin - light cream yellow
I'll think of more to add in.. currently can't think of a lot of composers right now.
Well, this is just for fun :)

Ideal Love 1
What is love?
A question that no one has the answer. (Maybe we should ask professors that teach Love 101) Anyway, let's try to list down what's our criteria of love? Or should we say 'ideal' love? Then probably, we'll know what's the best love for us? Maybe writing down will help.
~ I do not know what I think until I see what I say! ~
So guys out there, here comes a long list of ...
*drum roll......
more drum roll.......
another 2 bars of drum roll........
CHIANGGGGGGG!! *
"Dummies Guide to Aik Hooi's heart" .. muahaha..!!!
Ok. Enough fooling around. Be serious to subject of love.
1) Multiple roles in a relationship
Boy - girl; teacher - student; father - daughter; mother - son; brother - sister; employee - employer; best friends; business partner, music (duet) partner; travel companion; debate opponent, etc...
Multiple roles in relationship is important. (at least for me) This can sustain and holds a relationship more firmly. A stable relationship is like an established tonality, importance of dominant - tonic function, you can proceed to other progressions but dominant - tonic function is highly integrated. (sorry, I don't even understand what am I talking here. Ignore my crap :p ) What I mean is, you can be different roles to support each other's need; and vice versa. It's very disappointing that your partner cannot be your best friend: listen and gossip; share and comfort OR your partner cannot be your teacher, teach and learn; have patience and encourage OR your partner cannot be your parent, guide and advice; nurture and care OR your partner cannot be your debate opponent, discuss and critic; argue and give opinions ...
Understand?
2) Learn from each other
No one is perfect. But, if you can find a person that knows something you don't know, and you can learn from him, or in another way, you know something that he don't, ain't it good to have someone to share knowledge? Conscious or not, there's always something that you can learn from another party. However, for me, the will power in search of knowledge is important too. Don't tell me: "I finish PhD, I'm very clever already, no need to learn anymore" or "I'm older, so I know more than you." Right. Our knowledge is shape by our education and experience. There's no two person that have the same amount of knowledge. Therefore, I hope I can constantly upgrade myself and I'll expect that from my partner oh.
3) Grow together, hand in hand
Growing old is a long process. While in the process, there's a person that walk with you, fall with you, I think growing old will be a great process. In every stage of life, I change. It's like metamorphosis. I know I change (a lot.) But if my partner cannot keep up with my change, left behind while I am already in front. Or if my partner is too far ahead, want my short legs to run and keep up is too tiresome. Both are equally unhealthy. And, from my past experience, I am highly adaptable to new environment, and I change easily. Keeping up to my path is not easy. Finding a partner that can keep the same pace as me (probably the speed of Allegretto?) is crucial to my future. (another supporting reason: you know la, my legs so short, how to keep up with guys that walk in big, fast steps?)
4) Tolerance and understanding
You cannot find an exact piece of jigsaw puzzle or literally right key to your door. I don't think such person exist, except in my own little ideal world of white horse prince. You can choose to be a piece of hard metal mold and hope that your partner can be flexible like melted gold so you can shape her; or you can choose to be a jelly to shape into her mold. Either way, I think won't work (for me.) You won't want to restructure your chemical state into another just to accommodate that person. Then, it's not the original you anymore. In my opinion, I guess being a 'plasticine' to each other is the best. You maintain the original structure, but flexible to be shaped, can mix with each other to be a better creation, or still can stand alone as an individual. That's about tolerance. Understanding to my personality, career, dream is essential. I cannot imagine going out with a guy that don't understand music, or ask me 'Why want to buy Steinway piano? All piano same only what,' or sleep in an orchestral concert" Bye bye. Musicians are people from another world. Either you understand them or you don't. (if you understand means you are from the same category of weirdos.) Tolerance and understanding is the key to a long term relationship.
There are still more to come. Write tmr. sleepy now. zzz...

勇气
To my dearest you
Have courage and faith! big hugs~
勇气
词:光良曲:瑞业
终于做了这个决定
别人怎么说我不理
只要你也一样的肯定
我愿意天涯海角都随你去
我知道一切不容易
我的心一直温习说服自己
最怕你忽然说要放弃
爱真的需要勇气
来面对流言蜚语
只要你一个眼神肯定
我的爱就有意义
我们都需要勇气
去相信会在一起
人潮拥挤我能感觉你
放在我手心里你的真心
如果我的坚强任性
会不小心伤害了你
你能不能温柔提醒
我虽然心太急更害怕错过你
Have courage and faith! big hugs~
