Thank you for callin, EL

Received a long dist call on the 24th(HK time)from Honolulu. It was from EL, a long lost friend... Anyway, there's nothin to do with the facebook stuff...

Well, I'm still keepin most of the articles I wrote durin those old days somewhere hidin inside the drawers. So, EL, can you recall your helpin me out in writin a series of columns on record collectors by givin me related materials like those about your auction held in Hawii?(get hint from the picture)

EL's comment: I still have those old "Music Week" articles. Looking back now, I wish I didn't auction my collection at the time. Less than one year after I sold most of my rare memorabilia, I got a call from a guy named Yves Beauvais, who produced the Led Zeppelin box set. Atlantic Records was in the process of making a Yes box set called YesYears (www.tinyurl.com/yesyears), they were looking for pictures of the 7" single sleeve for the booklet; I used to have quite a few of those 7" singles but sold most of them. I offer to send him pictures that I took but he said it had to be taken professional. I lost the chance to be included in the box set :(

Christmas is celebrated to commemorate the birth of Jesus Christ some 2000 years ago. It is one of the most important days in the Christian world. Jesus Christ is the symbolism of Love, Sharing and Forgiveness..

Love, Sharing and Forgiveness are the three main factors of a Happy and Peaceful life not only for Christian but all throughout the humanity….

LOVE is the catalyst of sincere caring and respect…..

SHARING is what makes the world go round…..


FORGIVENESS is the key to the Peace of mind and harmonious relationships to mankind…

….and once again on this Christmas Festivity irrespective of whatsoever belief we are bound for, let us renew our Love, continuous Sharing and strengthen our Forgiveness to everyone….

艱苦的行程







我讀的是紀念版, 這書為已故舒巷城先生的作品, 描述了他在當年香港抗戰期間之逃難經歷…另一本相關題材的書叫香港淪陷記(十八日的戰爭)(唐海所著), 在參考圖書館裡給我尋得,它是寶貴之本地口述歷史.
那時侯的艱苦, 說什麼也無法跟今天的生活相比. 而該時艱苦的情境卻造就了一群”發國難財”的人.

Guro Eric says: Just Look at your back……..

Last week during the Chung Yeung Festival, I managed to have some time off and visit my family in the Philippines and spent quality time with them.

On my way home from Manila, I took the bus for a three hour ride, and from where I was seated I can hear the voice of the old man talking to a young lady who have just finished her job interview on that day, they are both sharing stories and they are seated on my back. I did not pay much attention on what they are talking because it is none of my business and I wanted to grab a nap during the whole journey.

As I started to ascend my sleep and trying to ignore the voice the old man when suddenly the words he shared to the young lady seems I heard very clear and flash a thought and awakens me…

The old man said “..and in times that you think that you are in your lowest point of your life, in times of frustrations, disappointments and failures don’t be sad and dismay, just look at your back and you will find that there are more people who are less fortunate and suffer more disappointments, more failures and frustrations than you, in that way you will be relief and you will feel that you are still luckier than the others. And from there you will start to build your confidence and courage to move on.”

Which is true and I believed on this words…

Sometimes it is worth listening to something which is none of your business…


Cooloo: That's words od wisdom.

Guro Eric says: It's not Always...

There are sayings that “Practice makes Perfect” and “Experience is the best Teacher”. It is true but not always. If you are practicing a certain thing, skills or habit in a wrong or defective way, you will be permanently wrong or defective. Practice must be focused to adjustment, learning and the willingness to accept changes. In that way it will make you perfect.

It is not necessarily true that Experience is the best teacher, we sometimes continue committing mistakes not because we do not have enough experience but because we do not pay attentions and evaluations to our experience. Experience should be directed towards improvement and development, development of skills and specialized knowledge which will contribute to our success but it should be built alongside with our character, because success without character is useless…

It says…….….
If you lost money, you lost nothing
If you lost a friend, you lost someone
If you lost your character, you lost everything……..

Guro Eric says: It Turning me Crazy



One Saturday afternoon of August, I was walking along the busy street of Sham Shui Po where you can buy almost anything you can imagine. A bunch of old used pens caught my attention on a canister can, out of my curiosity, I’ve take a look almost everyone and managed to pick a choice of two Classic type pen and pay 20hkd each. As I arrived home, I tried to polish them and restore to its original looks as much as possible and they looked nice…


On the following Monday, I tried to search in the internet for the possible website of the pen because it has a name engraved on it and out of my surprise it was a Waterman Expert II pen. From then on, I tried to find more used Classic pens on that busy street by chance not specifically a Waterman but any Classic pen.


I have now couple of Waterman, a numbers of Mont Blanc pen both made from Germany and China, Parkers, Pilots, Cross, Jaguar pens, a small DuPont pen, Pierre Cardin, Hero, a handful of unmarked classic pens and of course Western design China made classic pens.



I don’t know why that it suddenly blooms out from nowhere my interest and passion to Classic pens. It is not the material importance but it maybe because the sense of respect and values I always reserved for the past, for the past is the foundation of who we are at the present and it’s always keep along a memories to cherish for a lifetime…and those Classic pens you what….it turning me Crazy….

Some of the Quotations I like most...and I want to share it with you...



The happiest people in life don’t necessarily have the best of everything but just tried to make the best of everything…

A person of strong personality are like eagles, they fly alone and they soar very high…

Good person are like the wind, you can not see what is inside their heart but you can always feel the goodness & sincerity…

Aim high and don’t be afraid to fail, it is just like a ball if you fall high it will bounce back high too…

It is likely to believe that success, failures and everything comes when you least expect them…

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction…

It takes a minute to find special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them and an entire lifetime to forget them…

Life is not measured by the number of breaths but by the moments that take out your breath away…

The wise man always understand the fool man because he was once a fool but the fool man never understand the wise man because he was never been a wise man before…

A Day with my kids……


On 31 May 2009, I and my three kids went on Hiking at Shing Mun Country Park , it’s about 8km walk to complete the loop. We wake up a little bit late due to late night sleep and undecided weather condition. Finally we board the mini bus before 12:00 noon and just about a perfect cloudy day for hiking.



Eriz my eldest daughter was 17, Josh my eldest son was 13, and Nenel my youngest son was 9, at first I am not sure if my youngest boy can complete the loop of 8 km on partly hilly terrain. As we started the walk they were fascinated by the beauty of the scenery of the half filled Shing mun reservoir, the century old Eucalyptus trees, the cold water of the mountain streams, the reddish-brown soil of the trail and the mountain breeze in the air.



We stopped on some picnic sites along the way intermittently to enjoy the beauty of the nature, share some jokes and old stories and share a bite of chocolates, and of course share a pose for pictures for a lifetime memories. Half way along the trail, there are cows and just about near the main Dam some monkeys can be seen from the wild and it’s about 5 o’clock when we finally reach the point where we started and we concluded it a day.



From this short period of time together, I have shared with them my passion and love of nature and I can see from them that I have aroused their interest as well as to move their own inherited passion and love of nature to grow and hoping that when the right time comes they will share the same passion and love of natures to their kids as well as to protect and respect the mother nature.



Let us all protect our nature for the future generation and enjoy them………

All About SK 1 (written by Steven)
















My dream guitar –the SK 1




I believed that every guitarist has a dream, to have his own model ,so the SK1 was born

I played guitar for about 13 years, nearly everyday, it becomes a part of me. And it is important in my music

I have many many guitars and I always changing guitars and buying a new one when I found a new sounding it is hard to find a guitar that can fulfill all you want so I try to think the custom guitar but how can I really got my sound? its really a difficult question how can it fix all the situations that I want? In live, in studio and more?

One day, I found out the answer, that is ,I need to design it all! The shapes, woods pickups everything! Because after this it became a unique guitar in the world, truly 100% custom made! Although I don’t really sure about the result but I want to try...I tried to draw it, i only takes 10 mins and the shape was born, may be it lives in my brain for years, I can feel that’s it! It’s unbelievable! My first design guitar! My god!

About the shape ,it was combined by two S shape in both sides and joined with a V...And the headstock was cut off like a S shape too ,so there are 3 S shape totally and I choose a mahogany in body back and aflame maple in top because I want a warm and solid sounding , a flame maple in neck and rosewood fretboard, in my early design i Choose ebony, but it may result in hard bright sounding, so I use rosewood finally

About the pickups , I use a set of Duncan pickups , a jazz model in the neck, a little 59 in the middle ,and a duckburker after that, and a JB model in the bridge , so I got 4 pickups on my guitar, it’s interesting! I think you can’t find it in other guitars, I built a unique wiring too, I use a 3 way toggle and 2 mini swith on it , the 3 way toggle control the neck and bridge pickups and the 2 mini on/off switch control the little 59 and duckbucker in the middle, its simply a Gibson les paul style with 2 pickups in the middle for you to add on, changing the color of a les paul , the middle pickup is always off, you can add it to any moment, and the neck and bridge humbucker can change to single coil sound just by pull off the volume and tone button, so I can got 36 combinations in one guitar, amazing! But anyway thanks to my best friend Ko Young, the master builder of the guitar who made my dream comes true, I will use it a my lately recordings its nice to share it to you all thanks!

Guro Eric says (May 09)

90/10 Works for me, it will works with you too…

Few months ago, I received a Power Point presentation thru email from a friend, it’s about 90/10. Stepen Covey explained in the Power point what 90/10 means, it means that 90% of thing that happened to a person is within his own control and 10% is out of his control. There are things that are out of your control just like the rain, you can not control the rain from falling but you can control not to get wet from the rain in many different ways. Just like the financial crisis at the moment is out of our control, but the way we react, adjust and deal with it is within our own control.

I shared with you this stuff because it works for me and I have tried it for many times specially within my family life, I will share with you the same example as the author did.

You are having a breakfast with your family and your daughter knocks over a cup of coffee over your business shirt. You have no control on what had happened. What happened next will be determined by how you react. You curse, you scold your daughter for knocking the cup over. She breaks down in tears. After scolding your daughter, you turn to your wife and criticize her for placing the cup to close to the edge of the table. A short verbal battle follows.

You storm upstairs and change your shirt. Back downstairs, you find your daughter has been too busy crying to finish her breakfast and getting ready to go to school. She misses the bus. Your spouse must leave immediately for work. You rush to the car and drive your daughter to the school. Because you are late you drive over the speed limit. After 15-minutes delay and a traffic fine for speeding, you arrived at the school. Your daughter runs into the building without saying goodbye. After arriving at the office 20 minutes late, you realize you forgot your briefcase.

Your day has started terrible, as it continues, it seems to get worse and worse. You look forward to coming home. When you arrived home, you find a small wedge in your relationship with your wife and daughter just because on how you reacted in the morning.

The chain of events that happened from the example of the author was the absolute result on how did you reacted over the first event, you have no control over what happened with the coffee. How you reacted on those few seconds is what caused your bad day.

Here is how and should have happened:

Coffee splash over you, your daughter is about to cry, you gently say “Its okay kid, you just need to be more careful next time” Grabbing a towel you go upstairs and change your shirt. You grab your briefcase, and you come back down in time to look through the window and see your child getting on the bus. She turns and waves. You arrive 5 minutes early and cheerfully greet the staff.

Two different scenarios started on the same way but ended on a different ways in which the end results were based on how you reacted. I find pleasure in sharing it with other and also with my kids because it will help make life easy, remember a wrong reaction could result in losing a love one or getting stressed out……So control your emotions, think of the right things and lived at least 90 percent of a happy life …….

4/09 嘉賓書評(鄭子健)

魯賓遜飄流記---現代中國的寫照

現今, 很多人先看書評才看原著. 其實只要認真閱讀,人人都是書評家…….

魯賓遜飄流記對很多讀者來說, 可能只是一夲吸引的求生實錄, 書中有許多科學知識, 作戰策略, 但文章結構令我有一個特別反思, 主角有數次改變命運過安穩生活的機會, 但都擦身而過, 造成結構性的起承轉合. 不過有興趣的是當中人生寓意, 一個人絕對有權選擇自已道路, 國家也如是, 中國承繼積弱,靜下來, 是繼續道路, 要自力更生, 還是把美國經驗照搬, 可幸是我們國家在實現現代化之餘,摸索到自己的未來.

魯賓遜揀了難行的路, 起初都是孤單的, 是作者神來之筆, 人生夲來就是孤獨,城市如是, 荒島也一樣, 作者也示範高超寫作技巧, 作者安排了大批「朋友」陪他, 主角慢慢由想走到安於現狀, 對比中國改革開放以前, 有很相似的地方-----與外界隔絕, 而「朋友」是比動物更虛無縹緲的強國理想. 當魯賓遜知道有食人族的時侯, 原夲的世界好像被破壞, 風雨欲來, 是全書一大轉折, 寫得異常精采,給讀者一個看武俠小說的快感, 套用人的矛盾心態 ---- 怕改變, 又不能避免改變.

中國人無時無刻渴望富有, 但富裕社會帶來很有社會問題, 例如治安, 真是需要像魯賓遜般強者去克服.

魯賓遜迎來星期五之後, 急不及待教他所知的, 寓意更深, 主角突然宣揚大美國主義,美國人常出兵,美其言教化,實 際是半侵略, 星期五的世界夲來是簡單, 當然作者交代星期五的結局美好, 中國崛起後, 不停支援非洲, 和美國不同是没有宣揚自已的一套, 是好, 是壞, 由諸君判斷.

夲書除了神來之筆, 還有無數的資料搜集, 求生的基本心法是自強不息, 更要有良好心理質素, 可惜魯賓遜有的只是自強不息, 没有衝破逆境. 只有安守夲份, 没有盼望明天. 人生在世, 當然也要想明天, 明天是幸運, 也是不幸. 夲書敗筆是太多幸運降臨在魯賓遜身上, 太不合理, 又太童話化, 環顧世上没有一個人, 更没有一個國家, 有那麼的鴻運, 看書除了娛樂性, 還有相當哲學性, 中國國運也點像魯賓遜, 但不是幸運, 而自強不息, 面對新世代的一切, 毫不害怕,2 008年是一個不平凡的一年, 歷史不會忘記, 2008奧運, 我們有魯賓遜的自強不息, 更有他没有的衝破逆境的堅忍, 在危難(雪災,四川大地震)裡, 軍人, 政府人員甚至平民百姓都恰如其份, 更會盼望明天.

我希望大家是先看原著, 再看書評. 書, 是用來感受.

一夲書好壞, 可能隨時代而不同, 但泛湖的波浪無遠弗界難忘的地方.

The leg sings the blues

腿子的藍調

醒來已近午夜
覆蓋於藍調底下
腿子帶呻吟地問
你知道你有多少根手指頭嗎
我仔細數一遍
十個吧
腿子再問
你又有多少條腿子呢
我反問
正在休息的右腳要不要算進去
答案是一雙
腿子說
你這樣忙
讓我為你寫首藍調吧

A Leg of Blues

Nearly midnight, I woke.
A leg covered under blues asked,
How many fingers do you have?
Counted once carefully,
Ten!
Leg asked,
How many legs do you have?
Does the resting one count?
A pair.
Leg said,
You’re often in a rush,
Let me compose a blues for you!

Cooloo: I wrote it in chinese and the english translation was by Jen Li.

DVD review from Steven(Tai Pei) (4/09)

樂評
Lindsey Buckingham live in concert

又一次抱著挖寶的精神買了此dvd 卻又有意外的收穫
Lindsey是主唱兼吉他手 曲風偏英式民謠搖滾 以出色的country style picking為歌曲帶來鮮明的色彩 更巧妙的運用delay效果 讓空間感變得更強烈 這是一般木吉他手較少用的處理 編曲簡潔 一個keyboard兼吉他手 另一吉他手 再一個鼓手 以半unplug形式演出 最奇怪的是竟然沒有bass 讓我想不透
尾段更有guess Stevie nicks的合作演出 男女和諧的和聲交織出動人的旋律 兩人默契十足

特別推介:
Big Love--帶古典色彩 一把吉他加vocal演出 充分表現吉他picking功力

Peace keeper--帶點blues rock keyboard fill in 音色模擬人聲非常特別 尾段吉他solo很有味道

Say goodbye--guess Stevie合作演出 吉他和弦編排出色 兩人默契很好

子健那句我每天讀五本書”, 給我的印像最為深刻.



我會用”書道追求者”去形容自己. 書本提供消閒性外, 還有實用生活知識…令我們對世界有更全面接觸.

大概由小六起, 我養成了閱讀習慣, 至目前為止…讀了幾千本書吧. 我有一個疑問: “返學校”就等同於”讀書”?!

開始時, 我喜愛讀一些工具書, 如成語典故辭海等. 最近我常隨身擕帶的是”作家的吶喊”, 它吸引我的是那份”激情的浪漫”. 我也讀林本利公共架構…

各種類別的書我都會拿來看, 而小說及多層面工具書均是我的至愛. 讀小說的入門心得是一開始便挑名家寫的, 原因是多人看, 跟其它人討論交流的機會相對較多.

版面當然會影響閱讀的節奏甚或趣味, 我個人較喜歡讀實在的書本遠勝於透過電腦去閱讀.

醫生用手術刀為病人作手術, 而寫作的人則靠感人的情節和讀者交流.

Guro Eric says,"Everything Goes up…must Go down…. "

These sayings can be heard from everywhere and I would like to share a joke about this. A young boy asked the leader of the church congregation on how he got his salary out of the church collection or donation, and the Priest or the Pastor replied this way, once I collected them all I toss it upward towards the sky and everything that will not fall down belongs to the God and everything falls down belong to me….this is just a joke.

This saying is scientifically true when applies to the law of gravity and it is similar to the engineering principles’ law of equilibrium saying that for “Every action there is an equal and opposite reaction”. These principles are the exact human behavior under normal circumstances, we will notice that if someone smiles at you, your reaction is to smile back. If someone gives something to you, your intension is to give back something in return. This may be one reason why we say thank you every time someone do good thing or favor to you and the more you do good things to others the more good things happened to you.

I am quite confident that we are living in the world of equilibrium or equality. And if sometime along the way that you experience difficulties or struggles and you are in the lowest point of your life, just move on, it is not permanent, the sun will rise again, a new hope is waiting and everything must be balance, if you contribute good thing to the welfare of someone, humanity or nature, you will benefit out of if without notice, maybe not now but later, maybe not to you but to your descendants but for sure you will reap the fruits of your hardship and kindness.. .Be good always…….

雖然市面上有很多記憶力課程, 早在十多年前我已經完成有關訓練. 當年學費昂貴, 現在也一樣, haha...

回想起來, 那時候蠻辛苦, 因為, 我報讀了只上幾個FULL DAY的密集式課程.

我相信這些課程的核心都來自MAJOR SYSTEM. 不過, 未上課之前我已懂得數目掛釘字, 且運用了它一段時日.

, 我喜歡去記東西. 至少, 它會迫使我們鬆鬆腦筋!

我個人的一些應用例子有: 記憶整副紙牌; 廿四節氣; 塔羅牌; 美國五十二洲; 易經六十四卦.....等等.

我最期望跟曾接受過訓練的人仕作比試交流, 通過測試, 方瞭解自己的水平嘛.

Cooloo's book review (3 / 09)


100 killer licks & chops for blues guitar

This is sure to be a special one coz we have too many “101…”books!

It's beautifully spiral bound and in an easy to read format. Also, is full of bits and facts about the music. The chapters are divided according to artists' style as well as harmony background.

The licks chosen are very typical and at least not technically demanding so will provide much help especially to beginners.

Even more better if there's play along track, and, info about the writer, Phil Capone.

Guro Eric says

It’s All About Basic…………

I have been teaching Modern Arnis in Hong Kong for almost two years. It is a form of Martial Arts originated from the Philippines . A form of martial arts that uses two pieces of a stick of about 28 inches long. The techniques and the movements with the stick are practically adaptable with the bare hands or with Bolo and knife, they are both applicable.


For our fellow Filipinos and other national who have the passion to learn the Arts, we started the lesson by introducing the 12 Basic strikes on the vital points of the body of the opponent followed by the Basic Blockings and then the Basic Disarming. Once the basics have been familiarized and learned, they are ready to adopt different variations of strikes, blocking applications and disarming techniques. As they go on and equipped with the basic knowledge, they are ready to face the next level of learning the advance applications and technique of the Art. Along the way without notice and direct instructions, they also start learning and developing Respect, Discipline, Courage, Self control, Sportsmanship and Loyalty to the Art. And as they go on further with their creativity they can develop another style and another technique based on their imagination.


Learning Filipino martial arts is just like learning other skills, it is all begin with the basics, just like in life, it exactly begin with the Basic. When we were kids we go to primary schools to learn basic education, then to secondary school to enrich our basic knowledge from primary school learnings, and from that knowledge we starting to shape up our dreams, identify and develop our skills and pursue further learning, but along the way without also noticing that we are also learning a lot of things outside our teacher’s teachings. We learn to Love which develop from companionship, we learn friendship thru sharing, we learn justice from being fair to everyone and we are learning a lot of things from our mistakes and everything started with the basics…..So, it’s all about basic!



Cooloo: I like the improvisation elements in certain styles of music(jazz sure is one). During combat in real life, we can find impro in its pure form.

VICTOR WOOTEN GROOVE WORKSHOP 教學DVD


一套合共五個多小時的雙DVD, 沒有隨碟送上小冊子, PDF樂譜也欠奉, 拍攝製作簡單得可以, 因其取材自真實的工作坊紀錄之基礎上.

但, 都不影響它的可觀性! 碟中內容充實, 啟發性與娛樂性同樣濃郁. VIC 介紹了很多實用非常的練習, 皆用不著讀譜.

觀看這碟的對象不應只限於彈BASS的朋友, 還要包括其它MUSICIANS.

VIC 在工作坊裡頭以其一貫之禪師角色不断給眾人當頭棒喝, 無可否認, 在對於舊有觀念重新認知後, 我們幾乎等同於已掌握到新的工具.

這是GROOVE WORKSHOP中的一個畫面: VIC 要為大家示範彈奏一段G MINOR調子的SOLO, 於是請眾人說出G MINOR 音階裡頭有的是什麼音, 且將之記在版上. 接下來, VIC 說:”以下的SOLO, 我只會用寫在版上以外的五個音, 也就是拿著不屬於 G MINOR 調的音作即興BASS SOLO.” …完成之後, VIC 再示範另一段以實實在在的G MINOR 音階彈奏之片段讓眾人作個比較…

怎料, 大家均不約而同認定第一次的SOLO較勝一籌, 為何? 這個時侯VIC才施施然引出他要分享的課題: IS IT POSSIBLE FOR WRONG NOTES TO SOUND GREAT?

MY COLLECTION OF INTERESTING PEOPLE: Jennifer, a book lover

當年我辦讀書組活動, 當中願景跟Jennifer 的差別不了多少...


我絕對是無書不歡的…當時我在人家的書店中幹過兩年PART TIME, 之後忍不住開了自己的書店.

有很多報章傳媒跑來作訪問, 因而大大提昇了書店之會員數字! 我感到高興, 因為, 書店的經營基本上是START FROM SCRATCH.

當初經營的願景有兩個: 是 BE A MATCHMAKER FOR BOOKS 與及安排 BOOK LOVERS GATHERINGS. 都實現了!

閱讀二手書也是一種環保生活態度. 雖然, 這裡有代訂新書服務, 但只在會員提出特別要求之下才提供, 我鼓勵會員先查看 http://www.bookattic.info/ 中的 BOOKS & WISH LIST.

有關書本的收存或保養, 絕不可輕率對待, 簡單說來, 防範永遠是最佳策略. 等到書頁變黃; FOX SPOT 處處; 太遲了吧?

避免陽光直接照射書本; 潮濕天氣期間, 要多開啟空調抽濕; 書籍有虫害問題的話, 便要進行杜虫防虫的程序…現在我手上拿著的是茶包袋, 你可放乾辣椒或薰衣草入內, 便成了天然環保驅虫良方.

不經常翻看的書本尤其是那些具價值之珍藏, 便要好好包起妥善存放, 現下一邊說一邊給你示範...

看來, 我要考慮在日後安排有關藏書保養的工作坊. 嗯, 將來我還想製作以兒童為對象的AUDIO BOOKS.
Cooloo預告: 我稍後會在JEN 之書店內辦個人藏書展, 現正安排中...

STEVEN(台北) 二月份樂評


我是蕭煌奇

蕭煌奇是一位創作歌手 作品充滿了豐富的台灣味以及人文氣息 多年前以一首” 你是我的眼” 讓人留下深刻印象 深層又充滿生命力的聲音打動了許多人 然而 他卻不幸地自小就失明 但這並沒有讓他感到挫折 或許因為這樣 他對事物的體會比一般人還要敏銳 他曾開自己玩笑說謝謝上帝讓他可以不用看別人眼色 單純的做自己 他把他積極的人生觀放進他的音樂裏 希望用愛去改變每個人 去年更獲得金曲獎的肯定 而這次的第五張專輯 他要用音樂與大家分享他這一年多的生活點滴

推介歌曲:
我是你的消防局--非常有趣的歌 因為國語的蕭煌奇與消防局發音類似 早期打電話常鬧笑話 讓別人以為是消防局打來 於是他便以這為主題 把自己描寫成幫人家滅火的消防員 有不開心 火氣大就找他來滅火吧! 曲風輕快 間奏吉他solo 非常有味道

春花夢露-- 帶中國風結合搖滾的一首歌 B段女聲京劇式唱腔有驚喜 間奏要吉他與二胡solo精采 可說中西合併

美麗天堂-- 北歐搖滾色彩濃厚的一首歌 充滿希望與自由奔放

木樨花在等待-- 陳昇特地量身打造的一首歌 歌曲帶著濃厚的童謠色彩 加上一群小朋友的合唱 讓歌曲多了一份純真

嘉賓->蘑菇 二月份書評

朋友見我在網誌內寫了一段疑似詩的文字,於是就送來一本叫《花園的角落,或角落的花園》的詩集給我看。

以前我總是很怕讀詩,可能是自小被灌輸一個理念,就是無論讀什麼,都要明白它的意思是什麼,或者為何作者要這樣寫。偏偏詩是眾多文體之中是最難理解,因為當中的文字是凝煉的,而且句子的格式多變,當然有些還要講求音律平仄。

這次我改變了閱讀的方法,拋下那些包袱,不再理性地找尋當中的關聯和意義,只是隨著文字去走。起初的經驗是很零碎,但走了一段路後發現好像有一點東西被接通了。

閱讀這書通常是上班乘搭地鐵的時候,故此當我閱到作者的詩中有關地鐵的種種,那種深沉、創傷的意境/ 意象,感覺尤其強烈。

我不可以說我愛上了讀詩,但至少我不再抗拒,甚至乎認為上班乘車讀詩是一種享受、一個淨化的過程。

至於這本詩集的作者是誰?
其實都不再重要了。


Cooloo : 當時我對棠哥說,"我已在BAND房內讀完這詩集, 無需再送贈給我了..." 但, 棠哥表示不要客氣...就這樣, 此書又增潻多一個讀者.

Guro Eric says

It is Easy when you Know HOW…………

I find some people doing something which are strange to me, but there are also some people which find me doing something strange to them. Strange things are something amazing, fascinating, and fantastic or things with difficulties to do. My personal judgment of difficult things to do is something which I can not do. Dancing and playing wind instrument are few of my difficulties, but cooking is easy for me.

As we equate every individual we will find amongst us that we are all have both easy things and difficult things to do. It does not mean that you have money everything would be easy. There are lots of things which could not be bought by money, you can not buy Love, Friendship, Attitude and maybe also Respect. We are born equal, equal in opportunities to explore the world, equal to choose what you would like to be but you need to work for it, we are all given equal talents of different kinds but we must to develop it and we are all equal to dream even the impossible things but we must have the determination, belief and faith to make our dreams come true….So let us all do our part, explore the world, develop our talents and keep on dreaming and believe in it……and Life would be easy……

MY COLLECTION OF INTERESTING PEOPLE: JOE LAU











差不多每次跟JOE 哥見面, 也會收到他給我的一大份摺紙製圖.

除摺紙之外, 我還喜歡鑽研種花養魚; 設計首飾; 蔬果雕花; 時裝紙樣設計; 烹飪…..等等.

既然擁有廣泛興趣, 時間管理就要做得好. 我亦常跟我家中小朋友分享這個.

對, 我每天的平均睡眠時間大概只有四小時.

開始摺紙時, 我學會摺很多其他人的作品. 我認同基本功及循序漸進的重要. 那時, 我為自己訂下了摺紙的目標: 摺出十萬件作品.

但最終還是對目標作出了調整: 作品數目改成1,000 件!

原因是當我摺了大概五萬件作品的時候, 朋友提醒了我! “為什麼我不考慮創作自己的摺紙作品呢?” 於是, 我給自己時間累積一千件個人創作.

至現時為止, 作品數量約為1,300左右, 單有成品或腦中已寄存了清晰步驟而卻未畫妥製圖的不計算.

個人的創作取向是追求直截簡單和像真度高的摺法.

曾有朋友被我的蜈蚣作品嚇暈!! 也碰到別人誤把我的蠅虎當真而將之拍扁!!!

我的昆蟲系列自然是我的至愛之一, 我亦嘗試以利是封; 茶包包裝紙; 公文袋; 六合彩表格等不同素材來創作.

要收藏摺成品, 空間是第一時間要面對的. 所以, 我會盡量把作品摺至最細小, 或許, 就練出了我的功底來.

而最近, 我較多投放時間在繩結編織與六合作彩數學方程式上.

Think positive: Kissed by a dog

I didn't really know calf(or my own calf…and, hopefully not ass) was dog's favourite plaything nor his real motive of bite. How could he know in the first place that the cliché saying of “he's my best friend” was never my motto? I was thinking to myself at that very moment,”Give me a break la, I'm jus a passer-by.”

So,….what's that lesson?

Never ever leave home without DISCLAIMER because information found in those like survival handbooks may not be helpful at all.

Steven 之樂評 (JAN)


SUGIZO COSMOSCAPE

SUGIZO--日本視覺系樂團 Luna Sea之吉他手 也是日本史上具有影響力的吉他手之一 他的吉他音色獨具個人風格 迷幻中帶著一點憂傷的感覺 他善用delay效果 有時候他的吉他不太像吉他 而是一種效果 一種音場 一種感覺 除了吉他 他也是一位小提琴手 這張專輯中的小提琴也是出自SUGIZO 之手

整張專輯以電子元素為主 加上他的吉他 有一種奇妙的REMIX效果 聽似混合卻又有點抽離 大多以幾個主題 或LICKS串成 並沒有清楚的主歌副歌之分 有些歌更加入了日本民族式吟唱 相當有味道

重點推介:
1. COSMOSCAPE--以加了DELAY的木吉他APPEGIO 貫穿整首歌 加上迷幻的電吉他SOLO 呈現出神祕的氣氛


2.TELL ME WHY--TECHNO式鼓組加 NU-METAL吉他 充滿爆發力


3.CAGE-- 以吉他RIFF貫穿整首歌 加上DRUM AND BASS的節奏 相當有速度感


4.KANAN-- SAMPLING 80年代的歌KANAN 配上全新的TRIP HOP GROOVE 吉他加上RING MODULATOR 效果 有點像留聲機的感覺


5.EUROPA-- 以CLEAN GUITAR APPEGIO出發 加上DOUBLE BASS 帶著FUSION的感覺


6.DELIVER-- 電子式BOSSA 吉他沒有太突出表現 但味道很棒 中段加入的 LO-FI DRUM LOOP 有驚喜


7.REST IN PEACE& FLY AWAY--非常PEACEFUL的歌 以木吉他為底 小提琴獨奏 旋律感人


8.SWEET-- 帶中國調的民謠曲風 是裏面唯一一首有獨唱的歌 旋律簡單好記

Guro Eric says "Now is the time."

Now is the Time……..

My Family spent their Christmas here in Hong Kong , my wife and my three kids arrived last 22nd of December and stayed here for two weeks.

During their visit, they bring a lot of stuff for me from Philippines because I have never been back home for the last eight months, they also bring their own personal effects, my wife bring along with her the perfume that I gave her last Christmas whom she seldom used because she like it very much, besides its my Christmas present to her last year.

On that night that they arrived, she opens it up and put it on the cabinet stand but she noticed that the bottle was empty. Due to unexplainable reason the perfume evaporates somewhere, maybe due to the cabin pressure of the airplane or maybe due to the altitude, no one knows and we can not imagine how it happened.

During comforting her on her disappointment, I have a word with my wife, I told her that next time I give you a perfume use it often, enjoy it and finish it up to the last bit, do not spare it for tomorrow because if you keep the perfume with you forever and never use it, I may not have the chance to exert effort to buy another one for you, tomorrow there will be another one, and along with my kids I told them, it is just like in life we must enjoy now and no need wait for the next day because we do not know what will happened tomorrow, time is very precious and you can not go back in time, when it pass its gone………

Lesson of my story.. ..Make use the best of your time, be happy now and make every moment memorable and enjoy life because life is a journey treasure every bit of it………

Cooloo: It reminds me of the chinese saying, "活在當下"(seize the moment).
