港乐-张国荣的《奔向未来日子》(1988)/HK Pop-Leslie Cheung's "Running Towards Future Days" (1988)




意于感情,想到了这首歌。以后的恋情,不问往事。奔向未来日子。

Fell out of love, thou remember this song. Will not think of the past as I am running towards the future. 


奔向未來日子

無謂問我今天的事
無謂去知不要問意義
有意義 沒意義 怎麼定判
不想 不記 不知

無謂問我一生的事
誰願意講失落往事
有情 無情 不要問我

不理會 不追悔 不解釋意思
無淚無語 心中傾出鮮血不願你知
一心一意奔向那末來日子
我以後陪你尋覓好故事

無謂問我傷心事
無謂去想不再是往事
也會時 有陣時 不得已
中間經過不會知 不會知

無謂問我一生的事
誰願意講失落往事
有情 無情 不要問我
不理會 不追悔 不解釋意思

無淚無語 心中傾出鮮血不願你知
一心一意奔向那末來日子
我以後陪你尋覓好故事
無謂問我傷心事
無謂去想不再是往事
也會時 有陣時 不得已
中間經過不會知 不會知

Hong Kong Pop-Deanie Ip "Super Star" (1981)


When comes to this time of the year, I am being reminded of Deanie Ip's Super Star

Recorded in 1981 and released under the album title Star Dust, the song tells the sad tale how many people will remember Superstars when they faded to dust. 

It is an original normal song but turned out to be a song to remember the departed stars. 

Humans are just emotional.

港人•港事-明星/Hong Kong People-Hong Kong Stars

又一个十年……你最挂念谁?

张国荣(1956至2003年)、梅艳芳(1963至2003年)、陈百强(1958至1993年)和黄家驹(1962至1993年),他们曾经陪伴了很多歌迷无数欢乐的时光,他们的离开令人惋惜。

十年,二十年过去了,香港的明星确实剩下不多了。慢慢,慢慢地,我们会记得那些明星,曾经为我们喜怒哀乐?

下一个十年,你最挂念谁?

A decade has passed. Who did you miss? 

Leslie Cheung (1956-2003)? Anita Mui ( 1963-2003)? Danny Chan (1958-1993)? Wong Ka Kui (1962-1993)? 

They had entertained us, they made us laugh and cry, mesmerize us with their songs and what they did. 

Actually, Hong Kong do not have much superstars left. When age passes on, whom shall we miss? 

The next decade, whom shall you miss?

HK Event-Earth Hour Hong Kong 2013


I am going to share with all the photograph above taken by Hong Kong media, Apple Daily. The top shows the lights off Hong Kong on both Kowloon Peninsula and Hong Kong Island. Below shows the night view when lights are on. 

Which part of Hong Kong do you prefer? 

As international media reports that Hong Kong have one of the worst light pollution in the world......

The photo above shows the other side of the city which can leads to better living conditions of its people. 

And lastly before I sign off, share with all this cute video advertisement by World Wildlife Foundation Hong Kong to promote Earth Hour 2013.

HK Pop- A Better Tomorrow 2 Main Theme (1987) X Korean Pops Orchestra (2009)

One of my wish is to organize a music concert where Orchestra will play tunes of Hong Kong films from the 1970s to 1990s when the films footage is shown at the same time. 

Korean Pops Orchestra have a video clip which they played to the tune of A Better Tomorrow 2. I was watching it and it feels magical to me. Seeing Leslie Cheung and Chow Yuen Fatt fighting for their lives on screen, whereas the strings section played the sad parts of the song detail heroes lives. 

Seeing Hong Kong legacy films played by orchestras even as the city has lived out of her prime, this is what humanity can do for this disappearing culture. 

I hope to do it in near future. Start right here from Singapore.

From now till 1 April, Hong Kong is having events to commemorate the late superstar. 

Hong Kong Tourism Board has collaborated a list of events for overseas as well as local fans to join in the special occasion. From Orchestra concerts to exhibitions, it is a showcase to the world that Leslie Cheung is larger than life. He, in fact, had not left Hong Kong and his fans. 

The list of events can be found in this link:

HK People-Leslie Cheung Kwok Wing Toy (張國榮/ 1956-2003)

Leslie Cheung Toy By Hot Toys Hong Kong. Photo Credit: Hot Toys Facebook Page
To commemorate Leslie Cheung's 10th Death Anniversary this year, Hong Kong Hot Toys is releasing a 1/4th Scale collectible figure. 

One of Hong Kong superstars and icon, Leslie Cheung fell to his death on 01 April 2003 at the Mandarin Oriental Hong Kong. The real cause to his death is still unknown at this age. 

If he still survives, he would be 56 years old this year. 

I am curious if his fans will buy this figure. 


Kai Tak Airport (1954-1998)

2 days ago, I mentioned about approaching in Kai Tak Airport on my maiden trip to Hong Kong in 1992. 

During those days, Kai Tak Airport proved to be one of the challenging airports for the pilots. A missed approach will send the aircraft onto the residential area or sea. 

As of now, there are plans to build a cruise terminal based on the old structure. Before we see her transformation, please watch the video I find to be interesting.

香港著名老演员江毅于昨天(2013年3月13日)因肺癌辞世,享年77岁。

满怀念他在无线电视的演出,看来要找他在《窃听风云2》的演出,回味一下。

江毅叔叔,一路好走。

以下是他的生前的精彩演出。

怀念香港/I Miss Hong Kong


张照片是我最近在整理的时候,找出来修饰一番然后刊登。

1992年,我第一次搭飞机,虽然不是国泰航空的飞机,却是相同的波音747-400型客机去香港。记得,那时机场在启德地区,距离市中心很近。

二十一年后,我的最后旅行会选择在香港结束。希望,这回的香港之行会是美好的。

This photo was published in recent times as I took this Cathay Pacific Boeing 747-400 ER in last October. 

1992, my maiden airplane journey was to Hong Kong in this similar aircraft. I do remember the airport was the Kai Tak Airport, not the present one in Chap Lap Kok area. 

21 years later, I have chosen Hong Kong as my final travel destination as I have other priorities in life. 

Hopefully, my journey is as fruitful with the previous ones.

Hong Kong Pop-Joseph Koo Masters Classics Live Concert (2012) CD


Just bought this group of 4CDs live recording album. I have not hear the entire set yet but feel this is a worth while investment.

If you want to know more about Hong Kong Pop in her heydays (from 1974 to 1997), this is the one for you.

Presenting the selection from the live recording video.



港•乐-顾嘉辉大师经典演唱会现场CD


刚买了这组CD,还没有听完全部的曲目。记录了香港乐坛粤语歌曲全盛时期的经典,是一部不能多得的现场录音专辑。

在没有买到DVD前,送上精装版录影。
