親愛的學生們（第一或第二批的，還有我五月開班的），與好友／網友們（對啦就是你），
我將會“失蹤“兩個星期，在我還能上這個blog的時候，說說你們的近況好嗎？
譬如白風讀書讀得怎樣，４０４到哪去了，CS曬黑了沒？Ａ-min媽媽身體怎樣？
讓我知道一下嘛

對不起！
親愛的小菊 還有GaoXin和許多對音樂有熱忱的朋友們，
非常感動，大家在這裡留言。
我本人非常喜歡，也很希望和大家討論你們的作品，還有給予評語。但對我有點了解的朋友們，應該會知道我白天有自己的事業、晚上要照顧小孩、寫歌詞、打理學院的事，周末要教課，有時要給講座，實在是有些忙不過來。
因此，我現在實在無法在這裡為你們解達所有你們的疑問，或將你們的歌詞一一地看過。很抱歉。但如果你們能等的話，在我比較有空檔時，我會給你們回信。
我有其他兩個方法：
１）來上我的填詞班，我會評估我的學生的作品（我的學生應有優先權，這點你們應該不會反對吧！），並且會從他們當中選出最好的加以提拔。如果他在其他方面也很有才華，我也會將他介紹給我們學院的其他老師。
ＦＭ Pop Music School是Funkie Monkies Productions的四個部門之一。其他的有版權公司（Publishing)、製作公司(Productions)和藝人經紀公司（Artiste Management)
學院是我們挖掘新人的其中一個途徑。
２）留意這個BLOG。隨時會有我們FM辦免費講座的消息。有空的話不妨去聽一聽。然後回家把我們教的Tips學以致用，把自己的作品來個自我評估一番，加以改進，說不定你們回從此會寫得比大師們更好？
好嗎？
對不起噢！

最偉大的愛
我不是無神論者，但我絕對相信，母愛勝於一切的愛。
小瓜已經發了五天的40度高燒。昨晚我終於說服老公給女兒吃抗生素。
我自己也知道的，如果女兒是病毒(virus)而非細菌(bacteria)感染，吃抗生素是起不了作用的。
但我是個母親。當你是母親時，什麼邏輯都丟掉了。
沒吃抗生素前，小瓜沒胃口吃飯。
我握著湯匙的手常常因為和她僵持不下而顫抖、甚至抽筋。
但吃抗生素後，小瓜有胃口吃飯，
卻因藥的副作用而把吃下去的統統吐瀉出來。我剛洗好的手又得開始洗呀、擦呀的。
在這一大堆事件當中，我自個兒的娘，也因擔心女兒累壞、還有女兒的女兒病情沒好轉而不斷來電關心。
結果每一次她的好意都換來我的惡言相對﹣嫌她煩。
然後我就會大大地後悔，為什麼剛才那麼沒禮貌。有媽媽照顧是多幸福的事呀。
我開始思念我媽那粗粗的手，在幫我紮辮子時的觸感。
也開始想起我幫某一位歌手寫的餃子廣告歌詞。我媽大概會了解我的心意吧！
《媽媽的手》副歌寫道：
我思念媽媽的手 有如暖風
暖暖地吹過我每一道傷口
她堅定卻溫柔
遞給了我自由
時間在她懷中停留
我思念媽媽的手 開門時候
見到歸來的我興奮地顫抖
她微笑著淚流
我不說的鄉愁
全都藏在她皺摺 的指頭

射手
手痒又來搗亂了... 繼續 practicing 中..
射手
改編自阿沁 [梵谷的左耳]
作詞：阿沁 作曲：阿沁 編曲：Martin Ting
改編詞: 你可曾
金黃色弓箭 黑暗中閃耀
天真的以為 丘比特忘了他的誓言
含糊的語言 沒人听得見
接受与推卸 一日之中 翻覆地演變
誰拿起武裝配備 誰拉起他的弓箭
誰又躲在角落邊 靜靜的等著 好戲上演
我像瞎了眼的射手 誤闖你的戰斗
拼命想要逃走 引來矛頭
這是糊涂虫的結局 踏進亂箭射區
刺穿我的心里 應聲倒地
你是准确的神射手 輕易被你射中
壓著我的傷口 不知所措
仿佛忘了時間溜走 走不出這陰謀
雙手還在顫抖 左閃右躲
我像瞎了眼的射手 誤闖你的戰斗
准确的神射手 非你莫屬

ATTENTION ALL ASPIRED LYRICISTS
After the media launch, I have received quite a number of emails and enquiries regarding my lyrics course. I was really really touched, actually, to know that there are still so many friends interested in writing lyrics.. especially when there is a common mispreception of Singaporeans having very bad language skills.
I have looked through most of the lyrics sent to me, and read through carefully what your concerns are. Here are some hints to you. (And for those who have learnt from me, here's a reminder to you too!)
1) You can scribble all you want and hope that one day someone will write a melody to your lyrics.
But this industry does not work in this direction. Melody comes first. Therefore you will have to learn how to Tian Ci (fill in the words) to a melody.
Thats why lyrics writing can be taught.
2) Lyrics with exotic scenery descriptions and cheem words is not equals to good lyrics. Feelings are more important. (this applies to some of my dear students who still think that writing like Vincent Fang will definitely make you a good lyricist)
Sometimes,usage of simple words which can convey the message more accurately is more effective.
3) Lyrics are like diaries, something for you to express and document a relationship or a past. BUt it is NOT a complaint letter. Self pity and whinniness puts your audience off.
4) Attitude is very important. You can have very good language skills, but it doesnt mean you will make a good lyricist. A good lyricist comes from Practice! Practice! Practice! and should be able to take lots of criticism.
So Aspired lyricist! Take note!

別忘了
原創曲: 飄着
唱: 孫燕姿
改編: 燕
天累了 幫夜熄了燈 世界是末日了 我看不見天空
感覺到 我的心是痛着 你卻走得無聲 只隔着一道門
別忘了 將快樂沒收 別奢望 能夢寐以求
別留下 愛過的行蹤 讓我以為 會有個理由 讓一切還能 重頭
你不懂 淚在眼里多重 對抗地心執着 最後都得掉落
別忘了 將快樂帶走 別奢求 夢能再拼湊
只剩下 回憶在消瘦 漸漸才懂 有一些感動 失去後不能 回頭
累 已不想再托 在感情落幕時候 該忘了 我該和冷漠溝通 不哭喊着
別忘了離開後 將快樂沒收 別奢望過去的 能夢寐以求
別刻意去留下 愛過的行蹤 讓我以為 會有個理由 讓一切還能 再重頭
你輕易松開手 像沒掙扎過 愛或許是這樣 放了就解脫
堅持不會好過 一樣沒結果 成全自由 是唯一能做 就算放棄所有 我能夠
