華娃 - 芸娘 1974


曲 : 顧嘉輝 / 詞 : 葉紹德

良緣世上難求 生生世世並頭
漫漫歲月相廝守 與君共享春日秀

情詞唱和樓頭 詩中愛意綢繆
墨磨滿硯詩數首 愛深義厚紙上透

鑄就百世恩 白頭共君守
望天庇佑賜福綿綿 願我家親老壽千秋

良緣世上難求 生生世世無愁
任憑地闊天高 載不住恩義厚
任憑地闊天高 載不住恩義厚

爱情天梯 Ladder of Love Part 2 of 3

爱情天梯 Ladder of Love Part 1 of 3




愛情天梯 : 50多年前的高滩村(现长乐村),迎来了一位美丽的姑娘,她叫徐朝清,那时才16岁,而刘国江仅仅只有6岁。一次意外磕断了刘国江的门牙。按照山里习俗,掉了门牙的孩子只­要被新娘子在嘴里摸一下新牙就会长出来。于是,在长辈的带领下,来到新娘子面前,纤巧丰润的小手轻轻地放到刘国江的嘴里,顿时感到滋润而羞涩,刘国江久久地深情地凝视着新­娘子。从此,徐朝清的模样就印在了刘国江的心中。 天有不测风云。10年后,徐朝清的丈夫患急性脑膜炎去世,她成了寡妇,独自带着4个孩子,最大的9岁,最小的才1岁,艰难地生活着。 寡妇面前是非多啊。刘国江出于善良和助人的心里,帮助徐朝清,担水劈柴,照顾小孩,什么都做,渐渐地双方感情的心火陡然升起。然而,在一个封闭且封建的深山小村中,社会和­世俗的压力对他们俩的打击是可想而知的。 承受着各种压力和打击,在艰难的生活中又度过3年多,双方都在接触中加深着感情。终于有一天,刘国江悄悄地走进徐朝清的家里,明确地告诉她:我要娶你!这使得徐朝清慌乱无­措。看着眼前这个比自己小10岁的小伙子,再望望自己4个孩子和四壁涂炭的茅舍,噙满泪水,深情地摇头婉拒。可刘国江的执着和勇气同时也感动了徐朝清,当晚俩人就带着孩子­私奔上山,在黑夜中摸索着前进,来到深山老林中的一个岩洞住下。后来才找到一个低矮的茅草房,一住就是50多年。 } 从此,刘国江和徐朝清以及四个孩子从村中消失,开始了孤苦而情深的生活。 寡妇、姐弟恋、私奔,逃离世俗的尘埃,为了那份纯真的爱情,双双辛勤耕耘着。

陳艾玲 悲秋 -- 秋天的故事
曲:黃國倫 詞:黃國倫 主唱:陳艾玲 獨白:黃國倫
《悲秋》

主唱:陳艾玲 由/詞:黃國倫 獨白:黃國倫

男白:我不知道,你是怎樣離去? 是悲傷無奈還是哭泣? 終於,我真的失去了你。 唉,該來的還是躲不及。

女白:你說分離,不需要原因。 一如相愛,沒有道理。 哼,我說你真的天真的可以呀! 我們相愛,何需要分離?

女唱:我在過去中尋找你,我在未來中等待你。 但是現在你在那裡,你在那裡? 我在記憶中尋找你,我在盼望中等待你。 告訴我你不會變心,不會離去。

男白:突然一切,都變得清晰。 迷夢一場,終於驚醒。 現在我才真正的知道。 唉,我是多麼愛妳!

合唱:我們的命運,早已註定。 你我都沒法抗拒。 就像美麗的故事,都是悲劇。 花好總須凋零。

女唱:我在過去中尋找你,我在未來中等待你。 但是現在你在那裡,你在那裡? 我在記憶中尋找你,我在盼望中等待你。 告訴我你不會變心,不會離去。

天梯 The Ladder of Love



四十年代重慶真人真事六歲的時候他認識了比他大十歲的她。 縱使受盡白眼和閒言閒語,在十六歲那一年他跟她說:「讓我照顧你一生一世好嗎?」 為了避開俗世,他們遠離塵世到深山定居,過著艱苦但快樂的生活。 上山下山步步艱難,為了怕妻子受傷,他決定用雙手開墾石級。 結果用了五十多年的時間,鑿了一條六千多級的石梯。 終於在02 年一隊登山隊發現了這條偉大的天梯和這個驚世的愛情故事。 故事主人翁劉國江先生在07 年與世長辭,她的妻子決定留在深山,終生與天梯廝守。 謹把此曲獻給建造這偉大的愛情天梯的劉國江先生。


A real story in the 40s in China - a 6 years old boy met his signature half who was 10 years older than him. Although there were so many rejecting voices and unfriendly looks, the boy told his girl friend when he was 16, "Let me take care of you for the rest of your life. Would you give me your hands?" She was just become a widow at that time. They went to the mountain and built up their own home there. Climbing up and down the mountain was pretty hard. To avoid his wife having accident, the man started to build a stone ladder with his bare hands. A ladder with more than 6000 steps was completed in 50 years. This ladder was discovered by a group of mountain climbers in 2002 and their story was then known. The man died in 2007 and his wife decided to stay in the mountain where their home was and where the old man was buried. This man was named Kwok-Kwong Lau and his wife was Chiu-Ching Chui. This song was written based on this great love story.

Brahmin Summer 2011 collection preview 4 - Haze Melbourne Anywhere Tote

Men wonder why women need so many handbags. To men, a bag is a device to hold the stuff that he has to bring elsewhere. To women, a bag represents her characters, her style, her mood, her emotion, her passion...a long list to place. When I was young, I tended to bring a small purse which only contains keys, change, money, lipsticks, commute pass. I enjoyed the freedom to with my 2 hands freed. But, when I grow older, my handbags "grow" bigger and bigger. Now, my current handbag that I bring to work weight almost 10 lbs. What's inside? Many many useful stuff and many more unnecessary stuff. I also tend to look for tote which seems to be decent for many occasions but still causal.

Brahmin Summer 2011 collection preview 3 - Allie Rose Orange Saffiano bag

The Allie Rose Orange Saffiano bag is particularly cute because of its small handy size and the bright rose orange color. I would highly recommend for young girls and those who are young at hearts. I would definitely take it to a dating night. It will go well with a little black dress or a flower print pastel color sundress.

Brahmin Summer 2011 collection preview 2 - Selia Rose Bronze Saffiano bag

When I was working as an Associate Director and need to meet clients or vendors all the time, I always carry a handbag which is executive style but feminine. This Selia Rose Bronze Saffiano bag of Brahmin Summer 2011 Collection meets my needs/requirements - decent but feminine. It is good for matching with suits. I particularly like the bronze color which is not too flashy but not as dull as black or navy.

Brahmin Summer 2011 collection preview 1 - Suri Wallets

Have you ever trying to find something that you really need but cannot find a suitable one after a long search? I do. The last time that I bought a wallet was 2000 in Milan. I really love my Ferragamo wallet. It is the classic one with a golden clutch on one side with a thick ribbon. I like its low profile and classic characters. Also, it is so practical to hold a lot of stuff. A few years ago, it started to rip and I have been looking for a new one. However, I cannot find one that I like the style and big enough to hold everything that my current one is "swallowing".

When I see these Suri Wallets of Brahmin Summer 2011 collection from Vogue, I think that I can give it a try. Firstly, they are stylish although I consider them a bit mature. Secondly, they seem to be big. I definitely would take a look of the real product and try if they fit my requirements.

Don't be so surprise if you see me using one of these one day. If there's a purple one, I can tell you that you would see me using one tomorrow.

New spring head-to-toes looks

There are 7 head-to-toes looks featured in this Vogue TV Style Radar video. It tells you what'd be the new spring essentials.

I really like the part of accessories, maybe because I like all kinds of earrings, necklaces, bracelets and purses. In my jewelry boxes (actually I have more than one and several drawers of accessories), I keep many earrings of various styles and necklaces that I bought from many places such as Japan, China, Thailand, Italian, Switzerland, Belgium and France, etc. How many earrings, rings, necklaces or accessories I have? Good question! I have never counted but must be hundreds.

Just like a typical woman, I love purses, handbags and shoes too. However, my current is too small to keep a big stock. After I have given birth to 2 children, the efforts and money have been invested on them partially. I think that I own about 40 pairs of shoes, over 20 handbags and purses at one time. Even now, I believe that I still have 2/3 now, maybe more.

Hope you enjoy the video and can find some inspiration about the spring trends.

Tokidoki Sodashop Tin - essential for a good eye-makeup kit

Are you a beauty junkie like me? 

I like to try every beauty and skincare product. When I was a little girl, I was always amazed by the appearance of TV actresses and movie stars. How can they look so glowing and beautiful?

Finally, I learn that it's their eyes that make these women so outstanding among the crowd. Not everybody born with a pair of charming big eyes with long slashes. But, we women can make use of cosmetics to "create" our own attractiveness.

I saw this tokidoki Sodashop Tin in Sephora site. It stocks with 12 eye shadows, a eyeliner, a nail file and tokidoki magnets. The 12 eye shadows include the most commonly used brown tone, the essential blacks for smoky eyes, the feminine purples and the basic highlight silver white. Plus the eyeliner, you basically get more than enough for a nice eye makeup.

The cute design of the tin box gives me an impression of being young and girly. It reminds me my golden old days.


One of my favorite nail polishes OPI

I have been using OPI nail polishes for a few years. Its extensive color choices always makes me so excited when I am in a Sephora store. I just cannot pick only 1 bottle and go. Most of the time, I end up buying several jars of OPI. What I like about OPI is its quality other than its color collections. With my work that requires a lot of typing and housework that requires washing, opening cans, picking stuff on the floor, the nail polish usually can end for almost a week. But most of the time, I change colors and reapply a new one after 3-4 days.

My 3-year-old girl likes me to apply nail polishes. She prefers pink and coral. I know that she will one day share my stock of OPI very soon.

A new cheek stain product

This new Hourglass Aura Sheer Cheek Stain has caught my eyeball and I am interested to see how it works with a sponge tip top. The shade that I received as an Vogue Influencer is Petal which is a light rosy pink color. The first time to apply it on the cheek is not easy and it is totally new, it takes a little bit time for the liquid to be absorbed by the sponge.

Pros:
1) It is subtle and light in color. You won't over-do.
2) The color is just so adorable.
3) Its shiny nature makes it also suitable for a night out.

Cons:
1) Since it is light and subtle, it takes quite a bit of time to get the preferred result.
2) The sponge is a bit rough on skin.

So far, I like this cheek stain and I will definitely recommend to my friends. Of course, I will use it myself.

New Sit-Com Working Class

I got a chance to see clips of a new sit-com series and I was sold. This new series is the first scripted sitcom of CMT, named Working Class. The story is about a single mom, Carli Mitchell (played by Melissa Peterman), from a rough and tumble background, trying to give her 3 kids a better life by moving them to an upscale suburb. Her transition to "the good life" is much harder than she thought. There are so many going around her: her cranky neighor, Hank (played by Ed Asner), who is also his coworker; her boss Rob (played by Patrick Fabian) who she falls for has a girlfried; her little brother Nick (played by Steve Kazee) help her out to raise the kids. Carli faces the challenges of parenting, dating and making friends in the new community.

Carli is a sweet woman who works hard and stay true to herself. People around her like her and she is a wonderful mom who does all for her kids. I feel some kind of connected to this character although she is 10 times more beautiful than me, our will to fight for the best for children is the same. Also, both Carli and I are working mom, we are both "working class".

The first episode of Working Class will be screened on January 28 at 8:00pm ET/PT. Then the all new 12 episode series will be followed at 8:30pm ET/PT. I know that I'm not going to miss it and I hope that more people would love Working Class like me. I want to see how Carli's family doing and see the kids growing up.

媽媽你老

仔仔今日突然話「媽媽你老」,當下真是有點不快。是的,媽媽真的老了,比起其他年輕媽媽,我真的明顯不青春了。我問仔仔「媽媽老了,你會照顧媽媽嗎?」仔仔就:「Yes, I will take you to see the doctor. I will tie up your belt.」心中有點不明白,我再問仔仔:「What belt?」他說:「You would sit at the back」原來他是指車上的安全帶seat belt。我再問他:「Are you going to drive me there?」他點頭說:「Yes.」當下我說他乖,心中真的有無限喜悅,這個孩子真的很窩心。
