不安分



可能是基因
可能是性格
可能是没有为什么

3个不太安份,自以为是的人决定聚在一起
为自己的人生安排一些不规则
做一点满足自我虚荣的狂事

今天9月27号

一个新的音乐平台
邀你来交流

不需要你的伪装
也不用戴面具
要骂要弹随便你

因为这3个人
不会跟你客气

927 FRESHMUSIC 新鲜上市

Orientation Camp

过去的周末,宿营去了。
两天一夜,意犹未尽。
与你分享。


这是我的学长姐,台湾很care这种称呼。宿营由大二策划,好玩到不行。


这是我系上的朋友,就是阿新的发源地,看中哪一个,我可以帮忙。



用戏来串起整个宿营游戏,找线索,扮丑娱乐大家,玩法多少还是和新加坡不一样。



照片就放到这里。
一来没有很多,二来也不宜曝光。
太尽兴了,所以。。。
哈哈。

搞活动的,是一群比我还要小的“学长”。
能力和责任感却不容小观。
我记得自己18,19岁那年也曾经精力充沛过
像牛,蛮横地往前冲,办这个,玩那个。
那年的我,是现在的他们吗?
由不得我说。
可能凶了一点。
哈。

我们习惯了玩水,玩泥,玩面粉
多带的衣服这次派不上用场。
只需要流汗,不用被淋
我们到了离台北县的一间国小宿营。
玩什么?
赌了一下,演了一下,唱了一下。
还夜游了2个小时,让人扮鬼吓人。

虽然玩游戏,几乎跑到断气
演戏又差点露了底
但是感受却很富足。
这种填满心房的感觉,有两年不见了。

我还是要说,能读书真的很好。

这场宿营又让我上了一课。

Are you there?

Sorry to disappear for some time.

Though no one cares anyway....

Though my sitemeter reflects the other way...

Was busy with my Uni life at Taiwan. In case some of my "long lost" friends whom I didn't manage to catch up before I fly date me for tea at Singapore, I need to declare that I am already safely settled at Taiwan for 2 weeks and have 3 years more to continue. If you want tea, can try taking TIGER or JETSTAR, rather economical. I will be free just make an appointment with my secretary.

The Earth revolves around the Sun. I revolve around my studies. I could finally understand why YN LIKES to talk about his Uni life in his previous previous blog entries. Ok, maybe LIKE is the wrong word to use. LAMENT may be an apt description. As a 24 hr student, sometimes you just can't stop talking about studies and classmates because they are so closely rooted to ur life. Especially when I live in the hostel, I see my classmates everyday and face my laptop every night. Life may turn stale soon I guess, but I am trying to prolong the expiry date.

Let me tell you more about my life at Taiwan. If you are worrying whether I can cope well, I can assure you that I am living fine. Sometimes I wonder whether am I too comfort in a foreign country. Probably because most people around me are Chinese, so it doesn't pose a big problem for studying overseas. Of course there would definitely some minor cultural differences which I have to fill up the gap. Like they recognise bathing as 洗澡 instead of 冲凉 where in Spore we actually accepted both. Another one would be 幺 and 一. Only Spore and China say YAO i think. Other than this, the rest is still ok.

For the past few days, as most UNI students would face, I started selecting my modules and going for lessons. In Taiwan, the system is a bit different. Selection of our modules actually finalised at DEC. So in between, we can choose and drop modules in an assigned time. But of course, we will confirm our modules asap so that we can attend lessons on regular basis and not miss lessons.

Anything you want to know maybe can tag and see convenient to reveal or not. ha ha

There will be a camp tmr, organised by my department sort of faculty in Spore. Going camping for 2 days 1 night. Hope to bring back some photos and interesting ghost stories.

Before that, pls TAKE CARE of urself.

A letter from Mr Lan

你好。

大家都叫我烂老大。

放下你现在做的东西,给我听好!

今天,老爷我冒着生命危险,混进了“红海”区买衣服。

像个obasang一样,不顾形象地把衣服当菜来挑。选东拣西,讨价还价“有没有其它的款?”“我买这么多,便宜一点啦”

实在有损我烂老大的威严。

又像个买盗版的怕给站岗的警察抓,把衣服全收进书包里,连书包都涨得认不出自己,老大还要故作潇洒镇定,飘里现场。

像话吗?

平时都是小弟在窝囊,几时沦到我?

脸皮厚的都还在台上,我当然不可以下台!

看不懂,没关系。

以上都不是重点。

重点来了。

如果你不在3天之内将那笔钱汇进我的黑市户头,

你就准备

收到断指一只,附加猪头一枚吧。


好人警

可以不要唱了吗?

昨天, 疯了一晚。

没club也没pub.

到了好乐迪 和系上的朋友一起

high至凌晨4点钟。

差点就虚脱了。

却还在那里死撑。

声音都哑了

还在那里拼命地唱

想证明什么?

老腔不败,还是我能广high?


平时仗着自己样貌年轻,有恃无恐
见人就说老
现在
报应来了

跟一群年龄相差3岁的系友出去
不怕没话题

担心
没精力一起high。

还好
撑过
再多一首可能就不行了。

台湾人唱歌的品味超不一样。
或也许只是我的这一群比较特别的朋友。
Range 很广
也很冷
一般的新加坡人应该不会选这些歌吧

陈绮贞的歌唱了5首
张悬的3首
这么多duet不要选,给我唱了阿杜和江蕙的合唱
张韶函都是非主打
动静乐团,樱桃帮的歌也不再稀奇
疤瘌闽南语歌也来了4首,很像七月歌台,够台。

就是喜欢这一种体验,让我更加确定当初的决定是对的。

Some girls in the class decided to give me a NICKNAME.
It's a trend here I think.
But I dun really like it.
Bo bian, the girls like.

Why?
Because I am from 新加坡

。。。。

School starts tml....
好兴奋!

School Boy

I almost forgot today was 911.
Until I saw the date on the screen when taking the train back hotel.
Seems like everyone has forgotten what happened 5 years ago.
No news, no solemn faces, no sudden appearance of SECURITY POLICE.

Perhaps because I was totally immersed in the school's orientation.
Nearly lose track of time.
Everywhere in the school was smiling faces.
Newbies like me filled with aniticipation.
Seniors probably can't wait for sch re-open.

My seniors are very nice people.
FRIENDLY, ENERGETIC & HIGH.
NATURAL HIGH to be exact.
They cheer like they have never done before.
They rattle like they have never talk before.

Back in spore, is usually me doing it.
But in Taiwan, u dun need to worry 冷场。
Everyone fight to cover up 冷场。
Until sometimes I think a bit OVER.
There was a few moment I really cannot "tahan" them.
Cos I could not hear wat is going on in front of the class.
Instead I could clearly hear 那一个男人在追那个女人的小八卦。

Different culture.
So different.
Sporeans very "geng".
I also.
Our self intro always so sian.
It is a very nice thing to hear people speaking Mandarin fluently when introducing themselves. Haven hear that for a long time.
还可以开冷笑话,装幽默
你会反击
“是他们的母语”
I agree.
But is just a feeling lah, to be in such an environment.
In such a family.

It has been a long time since I received gifts from seniors.
It has been a long time since I stand up for self intro.

读书真好。

我的室友是明星

又忙了一天。
雨也下了整整一天。

今天回校参加消防演习。

小时侯
我们期待消防演习
因为是旷课的好机会
也是发挥抢戏本领的时机
“救命啊,着火了!快跑!”
脚步却依旧慢条斯理
边散步边继续和同学聊八卦
连带吐嘈
”so stupid!weather so hot!"
偶而看到老师
假装一下
拜托
老师也在慢条斯理。

台湾的演习比较有心
过关斩将
教你用水喉灭火,怎么安全送自己下高楼,还要套塑胶袋在头上模拟在烟房自救
光是看道具和成本就赢我们一个马鼻。
但是
人嘛
毕竟不见棺材不掉泪
没有火
哪里有人听?

写到这里你一定会在想
这个跟今天的title有什么关系?
稍安怒燥
现在切入正点。

终于看到我的寝室,俗称hostel

鬼!

很小
4个人的房
大小如933播音室或一个普通单人房
加上床和桌
能活动的空间
应该
能够让我们一转身就kiss到彼此
有必要那么亲热吗?
虽然冬天要来了

可是没办法
这个地方将成为接下来6个月的家
我安慰自己
“Not bad lah, very cosy很温暖!”
可是
心里还是会忍不住os
"要酱多温暖干嘛?多穿衣服不就行了?“

算了
还是把希望放在我的室友身上

要红就在今朝
因为
我的室友是明星
隆重介绍
张栋梁

One Thousand

Nearly quarrelled with my friend over NT1000=S$50 today.

He claimed to pass me the $, I insisted I returned him. Another long story dun wan to say anymore.

Since history, $ has been a complicated issue. People die, families say bye bye.

Just want to remind people out there, though I know you all have always been conscious, to treat $ carefully.Even when dealing with your friends.

Go KTV remember to pay, go eat supper remember to 自动一点。

Money can sour relationships.

sour WEAK relationships.

STRONG ones maybe.

剪不断,理还乱。

Dun blame me for being "kiam siam" when you see me next time. ha ha

I dun wan you to

give in like me in the end.

乱相

乱相 1

昨天到学校报到,听讲座办登记。
和朋友两人搭捷运到木栅。
路上的景观让我颇有感受。
坐捷运看到台湾人井然有序地排队等候,搭escalator全部统一靠右的文化习惯,不经感到羞愧。
怎么不像他们的政治?
没有关系
我们的文化习惯也不像我们的政治。

乱相 2

到学校,听讲座。
不要以为台湾人不谙英语
罗志祥是个坏典范。
现在的学生都在努力讲几句,哪怕不对也要勇敢尝试。
给我们讲说的student leaders就蛮努力的
虽然
我偶而会情不自禁地偷笑。
但至少他们母语讲的好
英语也不赖

我们呢?
母语是什么?

乱相 3

讲座很闷,我知道。
谁没有在lectures睡过觉?
但是
坐在第一排大剌剌地睡觉,未免也太不雅观了吧。
时而仰头,时而伏案
姿势很多
一睡便是2个小时。

可能是习俗。

是习惯
不知道
不能说他的国籍,因为那里的中年男人都很爱打人,特别爱打女人。

睡得没天没
就不把那些讲说的学生放在眼里。

huh?
他哪国人?
Not very nice to say leh....

颤抖

那一步,跨得很

像跨进如幻如影的梦境里,一跨便将安逸的世界抛在后面。

几秒前,我还在拥抱。
拥出了笑容。
拥出了祝福。
拥出了眼泪。

强忍的眼泪,勉强地收在铺满线条的双眼后面
人类最拿手的戏码就是掩饰
闷骚的人类最会用笑容来包装不舍。
刚好家中就有两个,不。。。是三个。


梦境里
静的刺耳
从前的热闹离境,嬉笑兴奋不复存在。
从前的人多势众,浩浩荡荡已成回忆。
现在
自己
一个
走。

哇,怎么那么冷?
冷气费有这样便宜吗?
爱看微笑的大老板们怕流汗?
还是
人太少
所以
冷?

于是,开始打冷战
开始颤抖
开始快步推走行李车

熟悉的脸孔渐渐遥远
渐渐模糊
渐渐变小。

而我只能往前走
快步地走
一个人地走

我深深地吸了一口气
再大大地吁了一口气
脚步不由自主地加快

我知道
这个旅程
只有
我。

这口气
我代了多少人吸
多少人又与我同吸这一口气?

我加快
希望脚步能更矫捷,更轻松。
空气越来越冷
身体越来越抖
我拿出外套

怎么
还是那么

First Day @ Taiwan

First day.

So must write something before I sleep.

The weather here very dry.
My lips and face cracking....
Think is time to activate PLAN B.

来人,bring me my lip gloss and mask!

First Day at taiwan something exciting happened.

Was approached by this still quite ok-looking "obasang", actually she stopped my friend first, who look I think more "toot" than me.

For a moment I thought she trying to sell products or maybe even herself, cos she got that fishy look on her, like nothing good up in her sleeve.

Then she told us...she wanna us to take a look at“沐浴露的目录”.
My friend was totally stunned and I interfered. See what this "auntie" up to.

She carried on to persuade us into her shop. Not those sleezy massage parlour, just a normal boutique u see at Orchard. So I went in to see what she had for us.

She led us to her storeroom, asked us to go in....

I was holding on firmly to my money pouch:

“不用了。谢谢!”
“没关系进来,你怕?”

是,我怕。
谁知道你想带我进房做什么?
我知道
我这种货色应该auntie都不要,
我的朋友更不用讲

所以
我又怎会掉入完全没有camo的陷阱呢?

And I left the shop with my friend immediately.

Leaving her behind and her accomplice, guessing whether we are students? Or tourist?

Of course I didn't tell her, we are students acting like tourist.

摇滚态度


这是我在近期最后一次免费观看演唱会。

没想到最后一次竟然交给了很摇滚的伍佰张震岳

我很少摇滚
也很少听他们的歌
不过,
算他们行
昨晚
全程我又摇又滚

要先谢谢yn
才有更好的位子
这是他要我说的。
哈哈

看伍佰和阿岳的演唱会,每个人心中期盼都不同
有些人可能是想看阿岳比中指,玩自摸,骂粗口。
可惜,他只做了最后一样。
其余的时间,专心唱歌。
唱一些不熟悉的歌曲
全场大合唱没有几首,还好有
像《爱我别走》,《爱的初体验》
没有华丽浮夸的造型
摇滚的精神
胜在态度
一顶倒反的鸭舌帽,t-shirt和berms就够了
况且
他的样子也很hack care!
心情不好

前半部分虽然是阿岳主唱,但我坦言热狗台客以嘉宾身份亮相时的确喧宾夺主
阿岳没做的
大家在期待的
他都做了
自摸,王八蛋,f***
跟观众交流,闹场
虽然我觉得阿岳不介意
但作为观众还是有点不知所措
到底是来看阿岳唱歌
还是听热狗尽情乱吠
不过
乱吠有乱吠的好
场面是越来越high
《母老虎》还有那首可以让全场站起高喊的 《我爱台妹》
就像热狗讲的
连李总理在办公室也会随歌热舞
我们又怎会无动于衷呢?

但是
f字也未免骂得太多了吧?
骂得越多,就越态度?
还是会失效呢?

HIGH过之后
演唱会进入下半部分
换伍佰出场
以为又需要时间来暖场
不过
是我小看了伍佰老师
黑暗的换场
没有音乐
却被一阵阵的脚踏声充塞
随后是一波波的人潮摇着荧光棒站起
口中
只有两个字
伍佰

这种场面我还是头一次看过
连什么数字天团什么偶像王子都要靠边站
现在我知道为什么演唱会饱满了

一如往昔
伍佰还是很酷很老爹很台
如果周杰伦是流行乐坛“酷”的指标

伍佰就是老周杰伦
而且
是风尘味十足的那种
放一架大型风扇在面前,让风吹走汗渍
却形成了老派MTV的惯用拍摄手法
超台
但是
在场的人都喜欢
台上说什么
台下就答什么
伍佰的酷还是很吃香
《泪桥》,《浪人情歌》,《挪威的森林》一首接一首
即使是新加坡不太熟悉的闽南语歌
我们还是硬着头皮唱
乱唱
大声地全场大合唱

一场成功的演唱会不用花俏
这样不是很好吗?

Leh...dio celebrate 1 yr


I need to summarise my 1 year at radio.
I need this memory to stay black and white.
I need to reminisce about it everytime I cry in my blanket.

It all started about 1 year ago.
I can't remember the exact date, also because there wasn't a specific date for me to remember.


I came in first and had chance to host with Peifen, where many of my army friends envied. They always asked me the same few questions.

"Peifen pretty or not?"
"Give me her number leh!"

Of course there were some more questions but I need to CENSOR them here.

We partnered for 5 days during 《弦歌寄意》and luckily the response was quite good.

Then I went on to host a sat afternoon show with Jia Hui from 11am to 2pm 《周末快乐song》。I dun need to do anything but talk.

Later I was given the chance to 跟班, to learn all the technical stuff a DJ need to master like controlling the computer and many others. Thanks to my 2 mentors, Cruz and Mary, who gave me training in theory and practical each for 2 sessions.

I recalled my first session with Mary.

M : “你懂电脑那些怎样用了对吗?”

Me : “嗯,志勇教了。”
M : “有没有问题?”
Me : “应该没有。”
M : “ok,今天你控盘,接热线送票。”
Me : “huh?这样快?我还没有准备好!”

If isn't her, I will not learn the rope so fast. Though my debut was filled with errors, background music too loud, voice too uncontrolled etc.....

Then came my first solo one man show----《弦歌寄意》。
Reading out dedications for 2 hours on sat night.
As usual, 我很不安份, kept squeezing in songs that I like and even started to conceptualise a prog of my own, hoping to make my XGJY slightly different from others.
That was how 《音乐新发现》was conceived.

After a few weeks of 磨练, I was given a fixed shift of my own. But it was a damm early, sat morning shift :《懒虫大公开》. And I shared this shift with another part timer DJ Kitty. I was trying to get use to the timing, have not been waking up before 11am since JC life. That time, I had to pull myself out bed at 5am. Report at 6am. So when u are listening to morning shifts next time, pls learn to appreciate the DJs.

One of my few morning shifts was ard Mid Autumn Festival. Went back Hwa Chong during MAF to collect soundbites, asking people how they felt for the MOON. Ha ha, this year's MAF is round the corner.... so fast.

My friends told me they cannot support my show because they are still sleeping at that time. Maybe only able to catch my closing at 950am when they just wake up. And that time I was still trying to balance between my army days and duties....trying to siam whenever I can ha ha.

Luckily it wasn't too long for 大风吹。I was blown to the evening shift 《烂人馆》, finally able to say bye bye to the morning birds and the heavy eye bags.

And I stayed at 《烂人馆》till the last day of my 广播生涯。《Nokia Live 点唱机》: we invited 民歌餐厅singer on air to sing live and the response was good. I have to say some singers were really good and the most unforgettable one was Alfred's rendition of 《老鼠爱大米》;《call me》started due to the breakdown of our sms system, asking listeners to dedicate songs related to a theme. Then was a continuation of 《音乐新发现》from the morning shift, besides me introducing Indie pop, there is also a special day where YY, YN and me will talk about different albums according to a theme. However few weeks before I left, the special for 《音乐新发现》had to cease. 还是很不安份的我decided to come up with another prog 《烂人大逼供》which only has a lifetime of 2 weeks. Thank Jason from Superstar and Cuifang & Zhen Tao from Superhost for the interview.


Another thing. I also 毛遂自荐, asked boss for permission to host 《烂人馆》with another partimer Da Xiong. cos it is usually very unlikely to hear 2 people hosting together in the wkns. Hopefully there is a difference to the prog with 2 hosts once a month. My last show ended with our co-host, enjoyed playing the 新加坡电视连续剧主题曲。

There were a few unforgettable nights at 933. No I didn't see anything "special". Instead, I camped overnight there. That night was 金曲奖,I replaced PF for the night shift till 2am. Didn't go home because the next morning, its my shift again. So I ended up sleeping at ard 3am and woke up at 6am. Gosh

Another one was staying at the production room till 3am, trying to figure out the "kee siao" computer. 不是因为时间紧迫,我才不会留到这样迟!


I need to thank a lot of people for the joyous life at 933.
Bear with me...
I dun have the chance to stand on 金麦奖的舞台夸张流泪致谢
so allow me for few seconds

  1. 一定要谢老板
  2. 谢全台的全职兼职dj的容忍,尤其在用production room的时候
  3. 谢3个宣传,christ, nix 和 cclia,时时忍受我追讨免费演唱会门票
  4. 谢听众,you know who u r though dun have chance to see this cos I didn't publicly announce my blog add.
  5. 谢all the emails and feedbacks, 让我获益良多。
  6. 谢爸爸,妈妈,姐姐,弟弟,自己。。。。辛苦了。。。
给我几秒。。。。

我要

Tissue paper leh?

Friday, September 01, 2006

赶路的途中,
在焦黑的泊油路上
遇到一只被碾过的灰色耗子

是凶兆。

白色的空间,
浓郁的药水味
会吸人血
会让人不停流泪。

花白如丝的头发
是疲惫
苍白如纸的脸
是懊悔

我们又能做什么呢?

还能做什么?

昨天,我们不约而同地穿上了黑色。
又是预兆吗?

一张张苍白脸色的背后
是沉沉的黑幕
紧紧将我们笼罩


已经过去。
伤心
也要拂去。

我们要在黑暗的天幕寻找白色的光芒
只要一点就可以了
就一点
就能坚强

是一个动词
而他更需要
行动
