Lux Luther

(the upside down guy is Ben Parker )


Lux Luther is Ben Parker's new band ( from Ben and Jason - one of my favorite and talented band ). Though they still haven't released any songs (and their website is still under construction too ), you can listen Lux Luther's new tunes in their myspace.

My favorite track is "And The Color Was"

And you can also listen the demo of Ben & Jason there too.

You will love Ben Parker did the cover version of Ben Fold's "The Imitation of Myself".

Hem - No Word From Tom

Hem's 3rd album "No Word From Tom" is just released.

Their songs are still amazing especially when you listen to them at a quiet room in a quiet night.

MP3 - The Golden Day Is Dying

The Perishers

The Perishers' "Let There Be Morning" is simply one of my favorite albums of '05 (though it's most likely underated).

Give them a try if you haven't heard how nice their songs are (and it's never too late to start too) :

MP3 - Sway

the song that turns a good day to me

i am not that superstitious but as far as i remember, her songs really has saved my mood many times. After i listen her new song from radio on my way to work, I know it's gonna to a SUPER GOOD DAY (at least i believe that in mind even if i never know what is the "super good thing" & if it is really going to happen or not). Having this faith really makes everything looks brighter.

<再見悲哀> - 林憶蓮
再見悲哀因我不再計較任何結果
甚麼都可以坦蕩未在乎誰是錯
我兩眼合上失去甚麼
是與非也掠過
別固執到問一切為何
再見傷感因我不易被淚流留住我
甚麼的境界都愛自自然地渡過
去到最尾就如與物忘我
回復身心最初
面對心鏡內一片平和
鳥聲瞬間閃過　(這麼最好不過)

除了心　只有心　可以解心鎖
煩惱多　因我要得多
微似砂　輕似煙　怎會有風波
有惆悵　跌入了恆河
情路太彎　過就過　當是個經過
感動的愛　當做一次砌磋
沿途上遇上甚麼　都欣賞過
投入時便快樂一起過

傻也好　痴也好
因你記得多
忘記的　比你記的多
懷念最好　我便會　繼續愛惜我
花瓣飄過　美在不顧結果
人存活在世就似沙粒飛過
誰又曾為了誰褒貶過

這麼最好不過　全是一種經過

Day 2 - pt 4

和去年春節一樣,和相同的朋友吃著同一店舖的美味自助式麻辣火窩...歡樂時光好像吃過的蛤蜊的殼一樣會被重疊起來一樣,有時候打不開的蛤蜊(歡樂時光)硬要打開的話裡面只會是爛泥...我沒喝酒,但也會想太多

just like what we did in last spring, the same group of friends went dining the same spicy hotpot buffet in the same restaurant. the happy moments somehow are duplicated together like the pile of empty clam shells on the table.

sometimes, when you force to eat the cooked but closing clam ( normally the clamshell will open when it's cooked but the rotten one won't ), all you get is ...mud ( so as when you force to find the "closing" happy time once again...all you get is just handful of mud too ).

i didn't drink any alcoholic but i still can say some drunken words...

Day 2 pt 3 - 101 top of the world

在要排隊上101觀景台時,朋友開玩笑的問"你快要登上世界第一高摩天大樓,有沒有興奮的感覺哦?還是會很害怕?"

我很沒趣的答道"沒什麼要興奮也不會害怕"
心是這樣想...只是在特定的一天安排要上高樓了,看看剎那的風光,然後便以上升時同樣的高速滑下...那有什麼特別的心情,有上有落,最好的風光也未見得只在高處才看到,同樣地,最可怕的事情也可能每天都在地面上發生,那在高樓有什麼好害怕

...我這個悶蛋恐怕是世界最悶的吧,你和這悶蛋一起也會覺得興奮還是害怕...?

In the queue to take the elevator up to the observatory floor (the 89th floor ) of 101 building, my friend asked me jokingly "You are going to be up on the highest building of the world. Do you feel excited or scared?"

However, I gave him such a boring answer "I have nothing to feel excited nor scared."

My thinking was that...we are just destined to go up to the highest building in a particular time. get a view down on earth and buildings below us. then we all will "drop" down again with the same speed as we have raised. Why should i have special feeling for the UP and Down? I don't think that it is only when we are on top of the world, then we can have the best scenery. Meanwhile, there are thousands of terrible events happening everywhere on earth everyday. I think it's more scary on earth than in 101 highest floor.

...I guess i am the most boring egg in this world...may I know "do you feel excited ? or scared to be with me...the most boring egg in this world"

Day 2 - pt 2 Chitaka

除了一定要到美術館走走外,自己也帶點野蠻的嚷著要吃好吃的日式炸豬排飯...雖然我不知在何處可以找到那樣的餐館

苦了朋友認真的查過資料,也累得朋友要在門外等了差不多一個小時...終於可以如願以嘗, 其實除了吃到還不差的(也不特別好的)Tonkatsu和出名的柔滑布丁外,也嘗到溫厚的人情味, 感謝:)

只是不要嚇怕朋友叫我以後不要找他們便好了 *笑*

Besides that I insisted to go Fine Arts Museum, I was not considerate at all to "force" my friends to find me a good restaurant for Japanese tonkatsu...though I have no idea where they can find it or not.

They have tried really so hard to search through internet and made some calls for that. They even helped to wait outside the restaurant for almost an hour ( that they normally would go away if they are asked to join the long queue like that for a meal ) to get the seat. Finally, my "dream" came true. I have not only tasted the quite yummy ( but not that yummy as expected ) tonkatsu and the creamy soft pudding, but ALSO the warm & sincere hearts from these nice friends.

I hope I didn't scare them off so that they would stop me from visiting them again next time. :P

Day 2 - pt 1 Taipei Fine Arts Museum

決定要到台北市立美術館這想法,是在第一天乘機場巴士經過圓山捷運站看到在館舍路旁的雕像時想起來的

自問其實對藝術的認識本來就是不深,只是抱著看看美麗的作品便會帶來愉快心情的走走看看,朋友在看展覽的時候都在問"你明白這幅畫嗎?我就是看不懂..."

我這樣想,藝術作品就是藝術家以他學過的,也有與生俱來的技巧和手法去表達他很個人的想法,你會很明白你周遭身邊的人的想法麼?...有時候恐怕要花上一生也不會徹底的明白你認為很親密很熟悉的人的腦袋,這時候我們都會用自己的經驗,想法去猜去了解,雖然後來和真相也許會相差十萬八千里,那有什麼重要,重要的是你享受用心的去讀解,欣賞的過程,從而使自己在過程中由別人的作品產生一種自己的感受,我是這樣的心態去嘗試"看懂"不會看透的藝術,也是這樣嘗試理解不會看透的人生

(it's somehow a bit hard for me to translate my chinese writing precisely ... well, i am trying my best with my poor english anyway )

When I was on the airport express bus and passed through the YUANSHAN Metro Station, I noticed some interesting statues and I found out that it was Taipei Fine Arts Museum, so I told friends that I decide to have a visit there.

Honestly, I know nothing about Arts at all. Hmm...I was just thinking that by seeing some beautiful paintings or artistic works, it would bring us a beautiful day with beautiful mood...that thinking is really in my mind everytime when I go museum. My friend asked me inside exhibition hall "Do you understand this painting? I have no clue to understand at all..."

Regaring this normal question, I think this way. "Artist would use his trained or talented skill to express his THINKING through his artistic work. Well, let me ask you a question. Do you understand the behaviour of your close friends or family member ? ...I guess somehow, you couldn't really understand what is in their brain even you have spent your whole life with them. In this case, we always use our own thinking & experience to "guess" & "explain". Somehow your "answer" maybe 10,000 miles from their real intention. Is that so important? Personally, I think it's more important that you have USE your "heart" and TRY to understand & appreciate them. Through the processes, the beautiful paintings becomes our personally enjoyable feeling. I always try to "understand" the "complicated arts" this way...so the same as I always try to "understand" the much more complicated human life.
