Blue Skies~~

Baby Girl

我知你想放低原則做乜都得

只有理想

同你過 每個浪漫晚上
而家開始

可唔可以當 個偶像
我都好想但係呢段 感情關係抽像
每次見到你 令我加倍緊張
我努力向上向上 你有你理想理想
想你努力嘗 打開呢個窗
其實我同你既關係我唔好識得分
因為我一你身邊我就囉囉亂咁
其實一直以黎我 好傻
日日當工作生捱死去行過左
如果 你肯同我 一對一見下面
其實你會發現

我既真意其實就好似你手鏈
抱住你 "cool"住你 護你

捱生捱死 都只有我同你

命運做我 () 我找出路 ()
並未遇到警號 (警號) 阻止我進一步 (進一步)
現在若你企圖 (企圖) 想跟我進一步
看天

你對我會唔會仲留有一D餘地
對你 靠近一D 近一D

你每每就會借D E避一避

當你好朋友知己
唔想你好D人一樣

對我一無所知 將心比己

我就想你 想你諗下
你有無諗過去 有無幻想過去
布吉島曬下太陽 日本話影貼紙相
我同你 呢個夢想
我發覺我會願意 你身上
紋係個身上 要俾全世界知道
發生你我身上 呢個真相
事實上 我緊張我緊張既系
你我唔系建立系 物質價值上
我相信既嘢 相信更多高尚 (高尚)


出黎行丫 做咩丫 點解唔得者
你問我點解要出黎行 um...
因為我鍾意你囉得嘛 唔得 咁唱歌俾你聽

Blue Skies Ya Ya

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Baby Girl

I know that you want to put down all your ideals and do whatever you want

I only have a dream

I only want to spend every romantic evening with you

Starting now

can you treat me like an idol

I really want to too but this relationship is too abstract

every single time I see you, it makes me more nervous

I strive to move forward, you have your dreams

I really want you to try to open this window

I don't really know how to classify our relationship

because everything I’m by your side, I'll be nervous and tense

Actually I've always been very stupid

Everyday I work and suffering

if you are willing to meet alone with me

then you will find out that my real intention is to be like your bracelet

to embrace you, to protect you

no matter through what sufferings, it's always just you and me


Will you still leave a little space for me?

Be a little closer to you, stand a little closer to you

every time you will make an excuse to avoid me

I treat you as a true friend

is so that you wouldn't be like other people

and not know a thing about me and keep a distance from me

I just want you to think

have you thought about the past? have you dream of the past?

Sunbathe in Phuket , take sticker pictures in Japan

The ideal is the dream of you and me

I found out that I am only willing to lose to you

I tattoo on my body to let the whole world know of

the truth about what happened to you and me

The fact is that I am nervous about

how you and me aren't built on material value

the things that I believe in I believe is much higher than that

Fate be my guide, Sky help me find the way out

haven't come across the alarm to prevent me from taking a step

now, if you attempt to take the step with me

can you see the color of the sky and know what to do?

Hey, come out... hm? what? Why can't you?

You asking me why you have to come out? ummm...

because I like you...ok ? no?

um then Ima sing a sing for you

Could be my baby girl (come on baby)

Could be your Baby Boy (come on baby)

Could be your good friend (Come on baby)

Could be my girl (Come on Baby)
but all I know is (all I know is)

I want you (I want you)

It's Blue Sky Blue Sky (Blue Sky)

My Baby Boy

See a No Team we are eyes

Blue Skies (Blue Skies)

Love You for

Come Have you Girl

Blue Skies Ya Ya

HOW DOES FRIENDSHIP BREAK ?

Both Friends Will Think The Other Is Busy

And Will Not Contact Thinking It May Be Disturbing

As Time Passes

Both Will Think 'Let The Other Contact Me'



After That Each Will Think 'Why I Should Contact First '?

Your Love Will Then Be Converted To Apathy

Finally Without Contact, The Memory Becomes Weak

They Forget Each Other.



So Keep In Touch With All And Pass This TO All Your Friends...
.
I Don`t Want To BeOne Of This Kind.

So Here I Am sending Mail To Every One



To Say

Dear Friend

I Am Fine Here

Please keep in touch with me

There's nothing left to say but goodbye my friends.

All Heaven Declares

All Heaven Declares
The glory of the risen lord
Who can compare with the beauty of the Lord
Forever you will be the lamb upon the throne
I gladly bow my knee
And Worship You alone!

I will proclaim the glory of the risen Lord.
Who once was slainto reconcile man to God
Forever You will be the lamb upon the throne
I gladly bow my knee
And Worship You alone

All heaven declares the glory of the risen Lord.
Who can compare
With the beauty of the Lord.
Forever You will be The lamb upon the throne
I gladly bow my knee

And worship you my Lord!

Congratulation 周杰倫 - I support your ninth original masterpiece. [Cherry Lane's First Buyer]







周董新專輯預購破9萬 刷新樂壇預購記錄! 音樂無國界 周董用音樂和魔術征服歌迷

■ 為準備更豐富的內容物給支持正版的歌迷朋友,「魔杰座」專輯10/14可正式領取專輯,延遲幾天尚請歌迷見諒!10/14領取專輯,並同時可獲得「魔杰撲克牌」。





周杰倫「魔杰座」預購簽唱會今天在台北舉行,來自各地還有海外的歌迷擠爆西門町,就為一年一度可以和周董近距離接觸的機會!現場主持人宣佈預購新專輯「魔杰座」已經突破9萬張!也突破了過去他在「七里香」專輯預購時締造的6萬多張預購紀錄周董到了現場看到人山人海的歌迷相當感動,他說:「每年推出一張專輯,作音樂作得很辛苦,終於『魔杰座』誕生了,想趕快和大家分享。」簽唱過程中就播放起新專輯的11首新歌,讓歌迷提前欣賞。





新專輯「魔杰座」面臨非最終成品在網路外流還有盜版問題,卻依然開出紅盤!他說:「不用怕盜版!我的歌迷都很屌!」正版以加料贈品回饋歌迷,甚至首次辦預購簽唱會的周董是第一次簽海報,他表示:「希望下一張、第10張專輯時可以作些更不一樣的。」周董一到現場就演唱新歌「稻香」,不少歌迷手上拿著稻穗擺動相輝映,他還邀約一位歌迷上台演唱,遇到歌詞中「喔喔」的演唱部份還即興將麥克風朝向歌迷,現場大合唱的氣勢驚人,顯見新歌「稻香」已具驚人的傳唱度。





前周董為新歌「蛇舞」拍攝MV,他透露邀約南拳媽媽的Lara入鏡,把她變成熟了!主持人好奇他腦子是否隨時都在想事情?他表示:「經常都在想奇怪的東西,應該說沒有時間是不想的。」過去杰倫曾默默關懷一位因車禍而重度昏迷的歌迷劉雁琳,車禍後他只有聽到周董的歌才會稍有反應,而她已日漸好轉,今天在媽媽的陪同下還到台北簽唱現場來,杰倫看她可以自己行走並清楚表達想法,這樣的奇蹟讓他很既驚喜又開心。





海外歌迷也特地飛來參與周董簽唱會,一群波蘭女歌迷還高舉「杰倫 希望你來波蘭」的大字報邀請周董到波蘭,他笑說:「這讓我想到了蕭邦。」周董的音樂無國界,儘管有語言的隔閡依然成功征服海外歌迷,他強調:「除了透過音樂和各地歌迷交流之外,現在還多了魔術!」簽唱會過程中,不少歌迷上台唱周董歌曲的卡拉ok,一位西方男子上台演唱「七里香」,贏得滿堂采!



「魔杰座」封面首度曝光!這款封面是來自周杰倫的想法,呼應了專輯的第一首歌「龍戰騎士」,畫面的意境是描寫未來是充滿了奇獸與機械怪物爭奪的世界,他獨自一人衝鋒陷陣,堅決衝破浩劫!周杰倫將腦海中的想法落實封面,經由插畫師的精心描繪,花了一個月的時間才完成。



Capricorn (traditional Chinese: 魔杰座; pinyin: Mó Jié Zuò) is Taiwanese R&B and Rap artist (and composer) mega star, Jay Chou's 9th studio album, which will be released on October 14, 2008. The album is based on his zodiac sign Capricorn and his current interest in sorcery.
This album, like
Jay Chou's previous album On The Run (我很忙), was leaked early on the internet prior to the official release scheduled for October 14.



The second single is to be Where's Our Promised Happiness (說好的幸福呢). The music video will star Jay Chou and actress Chen Kuang Yi (陳匡怡) and is directed by Jay.



The album has broken Jay Chou's previous record of pre-order sales, with more than 90,000 copies ordered. To thank fans for the support,

JVR Music has decided to include Capricorn Poker Cards as album gifts. This inclusion was cited to be the reason for the album release date to be delayed until October 14, 2008.

Father, I thank You

Father, I thank You for all that You've done.
You gave Your Son freely for me.
And I praise You for calling me, drawing me near.
Out of blindness You caused me to see.

Spirit of life, You are God's holy fire.
You've kindled my heart with Your blaze.
And I know You're refining me, changing my life.
And by faith You're revealing Your ways.

Jesus, I need You as Lord of my life.
I give all I have unto You. Lord, I want to come under
Your heavenly had, And to praise You in all that I do.

Calm Envy

I seem to sink into the sound of the falling rain.
This promise is whose dream, who is this dream for?

I want to see all of you. I want to love all of you. It's this way, isn't it?
When our hands are clutched together,

There is this unknown scent coming from the opposite one.
Although I can breathe normally,

I seem to crumble eventually.


If you could love me deeper than just those words
I could believe only you standing before me.


In the suddenly showing past, the times we would touch,
Could not fill the fragile emptiness, floating on those tears.


Although I find comfort in this peace,
You, who are beside me, are breaking from my inside.


The answer is drowning in a smile.

You don't love the everyday shadow, when it was lost.
We carry those bounds that I can't let disappear.



Even though I threw those words at you,
if you could love meI could believe only you, standing before me.


The suddenly shown past, hurts every time you touch me
I want to love you to my inner emptiness.


Because I won't let you notice how I wipe my tears



There is nothing else to laugh about in front of me.
It's not the two of us, concealing this means the...


How I wish it to be us together crying at this...
More than thinking back about it, I would like you to forget



And put me in this empty space.

Don't chase those long passed days.
Don't leave anything more than what's already left.


I hold onto this good bye, as I fall asleep


And the faint heat vanishes like tobacco.
The days that won't return, the person I loved

I Will Walk Together

Repeatedly as always, I only caused you grief as always
I must have even hurt you too.
I remain unable to move
-
Why does your pain touch me so?
Surely it's because I was afraid of repeating history and losing you
We have unforgettable days together
You held my hand without any questions
-
Even if your feelings grow distant tomorrow
Surely my love will remain unchanged
Even I pass from your heart tomorrow
Surely my love will remain unchanged
-
I will walk together with you, the future not promised
It keeps walking together, to future in which you are...
Along with the painful things - almost to the point of forgetting -
I'm thinking of you
-
The more I count the nights on which we don't meet,
Anxiety grows in my chest
Collecting different types of loneliness; please don't cry alone
-
No matter how far apart we are, let's go on believing in each other
I want to remain smiling like this somehow
Without hurting you
-
Even if your feelings grow distant tomorrow
Surely my love will remain unchanged
Even I pass from your heart tomorrow
Surely my love will remain unchanged
-
Please have eyes only for me
-
Please don't let go of my hand
-
I will walk together with you, the future not promised
But it keeps walking together, to future in which you are...
-
-
= - Yang - =

Beloved One

Beloved one...Don't cry, show me your smile
If I wanted to see your tears, I wouldn't have said 'I like you', would I?

Beloved one... It's okay, you're not alone
Because when you're feeling lonely, I'll feel lonely too

Beloved one...Don't open your closed eyes
That way... that way... you can't sleep.

Beloved one...Not 'For you I would die' but 'For you I live'
Of course, we'll be together
Before this, before that...

If you love yourself more, can I have a part of that excess love?
Beloved, beloved one...Even if we are reincarnated

I will still be 'this' me and you will still be 'that' you
And then, I will say the same words again

Always, always..

Beloved one...Please open your eyes slowly
Isn't it the same as always?

It's fine just like this.

Road To Revolution will be packaged in recyclable eco-friendly materials and contain hidden bonus tracks as well as a multi-page booklet that includes exclusive, live photos.

只要为你活一天

只要为你活一天
这是我心愿
只要为你活一天
这是我心愿
别再让我心伤感
明知割不断
为什么让此恨绵绵


只要为你活一天
这是我心愿
只要为你活一天
这是我心愿
有多少爱的怀念
藏在我心坎
如果要忘了你千难万难


只要为你活一天

I'm grateful, Lord.

马太福音第五章1-12节 ; Matthew 5 : 1-12

1. 耶稣看见这许多的人,就上了山,既已坐下,门徒到他跟前来,
Seeing the crowds, he went up on the mountain, and when he sat down, his disciples came to him.

2. 他就开口教训他们,说:
And he opened his mouth and taught them, saying:


3. 虚心的人有福了!因为天国是他们的。 [ 虛心的人得天國 ]
“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

4. 哀恸的人有福了!因为他们必得安慰。 [ 哀慟的人得安慰 ]
“Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.

5. 温柔的人有福了!因为他们必承受地土。 [ 温柔的人承受土地 ]
“Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.

6. 饥渴慕义的人有福了!因为他们必得饱足。 [ 飢渴幕義的表現 ]
“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.

7. 怜恤人的人有福了!因为他们必蒙怜恤。 [ 憐恤人的蒙憐恤 ]
“Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.

8. 清心的人有福了!因为他们必得见 神。 [ 清心的人得見神 ]
“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.

9. 使人和睦的人有福了!因为他们必称为 神的儿子。[ 使人和睦為神的兒子 ]
“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.

10. 为义受逼迫的人有福了!因为天国是他们的。 [ 為義受逼迫的人得天國 ]
“Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

11. 人若因我辱骂你们,逼迫你们,捏造各样坏话毁谤你们,你们就有福了!
“Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account.

12. 应当欢喜快乐!因为你们在天上的赏赐是大的;在你们以前的先知,人也是这样逼迫他们。
Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.



1. 虚心的人:灵里贫穷,愿意顺服,甘受神的引领。

2. 哀恸的人:为罪忧伤痛悔,乐意向神悔改。

3. 温柔的人:并非软弱,而是任凭神的手做工,隐藏自己。

4. 饥渴慕义的人:渴慕神,寻求神国建立的人。

5. 怜恤人的人:以神的怜恤对待人。

6. 清心的人:全心全意仰望神,心无旁骛。

7. 使人和睦的人:使人与神和好,人与人和睦的人。前四个品格是较为被动的,后三个品格是较主动的,其顺序不可颠倒,因为有渐进性。

8. 为义受逼迫,这是以上诸多品格具备的人,必然面对的一个过程。因为人的国不接纳神的国度,这一切的福与世人的论调,正好相反,这也是他们失掉福分的原因。



箴言二十四章29节 ; Proverb [Book of Wisdom] 24 : 29

" 不可說:人怎樣待我,我也怎樣待他;我必照他所行的報復他。"
Do not say, “I will do to him as he has done to me;I will pay the man back for what he has done.”


箴言四章14-15节 ; Proverb [Book of Wisdom] 4 : 14 - 15

"不可行惡人的路;不要走壞人的道。 要躲避,不可經過;要轉身而去。"
" Cast in your lot among us; let us all have one purse: My son, walk not you in the way with them; refrain your foot from their path: "


箴言四章18节 ; Proverb [Book of Wisdom] 4 : 18

"但義人的路好像黎明的光,越照越明,直到日午。"
"But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shines more and more to the perfect day."



箴言 第六章16-23节 ; Proverbs [Book of Wisdom] 6:16-23

16. 耶和華所恨惡的有六樣,連他心所憎惡的共有七樣:
These six things does the LORD hate: yes, seven are an abomination to him:

17. 就是高傲的眼,撒謊的舌,流無辜人血的手,
A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,

18. 圖謀惡計的心,飛跑行惡的腳,
An heart that devises wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,

19. 吐謊言的假見證,並弟兄中布散紛爭的人。
A false witness that speaks lies, and he that sows discord among brothers.

20. 我兒,要謹守你父親的誡命;不可離棄你母親的法則(或譯:指教),
My son, keep your father's commandment, and forsake not the law of your mother:

21. 要常繫在你心上,掛在你項上。
Bind them continually on your heart, and tie them about your neck.

22. 你行走,他必引導你;你躺臥,他必保守你;你睡醒,他必與你談論。

When you go, it shall lead you; when you sleep, it shall keep you; and when you wake, it shall talk with you.

23. 因為誡命是燈,法則(或譯:指教)是光,訓誨的責備是生命的道,

For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:



馬太福音 第五章13-16节 ; Matthew 5 : 13-16

你們是世上的鹽。鹽若失了味,怎能叫他再鹹呢﹖以後無用,不過丟在外面,被人踐踏了。
“You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people's feet.


你們是世上的光。城造在山上是不能隱藏的。
“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.


人點燈,不放在斗底下,是放在燈臺上,就照亮一家的人。
Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house.


你們的光也當這樣照在人前,叫他們看見你們的好行為,便將榮耀歸給你們在天上的父。
In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.



阿們 . Amen

Imagine

"Imagine" is a song by John Lennon.
was "an anti-religious, anti-nationalistic, anti-conventional, anti-capitalistic song, but because it's sugar-coated, it's accepted."
Third greatest song of all time.
------
Imagine there's no Heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today
.
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace
.
You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
.
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world
You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one I hope someday you'll join us
.
And the world will live as one

說好的幸福呢?

「說好的幸福呢」
曲:周杰倫
詞:方文山

你的繪畫淩亂著
在這個時刻
我想起噴泉旁的白鴿
甜蜜散落了


情緒莫名的拉扯
我還愛你呢
而你斷斷續續唱著歌
假裝沒事了
時間過了 走了
愛情面臨選擇
你冷了 倦了 我哭了
離開時的不快樂 你用卡片手寫著
有些愛只給到這 真的痛了


怎麼了 你累了 說好的 幸福呢
我懂了 不說了 愛淡了 夢遠了
開心與不開心 一一细数着 你在不舍
那些愛過的感覺都太深刻 我都還記得
你不等了 說好的 幸福呢
我錯了 淚幹了 放手了 後悔了
只是回憶的音樂盒還旋轉著 要怎麼停呢


你的繪畫淩亂著
在這個時刻
我想起噴泉旁的白鴿
甜蜜散落了


情緒莫名的拉扯
我還愛你呢
而你斷斷續續唱著歌
假裝沒事了

時間過了 走了
愛情面臨選擇
你冷了 倦了 我哭了

離開時的不快樂 你用卡片手寫著
有些愛只給到這 真的痛了

怎麼了 你累了 說好的 幸福呢
我懂了 不說了 愛淡了 夢遠了
開心與不開心 一一細數著 你在不舍
那些愛過的感覺都太深刻 我都還記得

你不等了 說好的 幸福呢
我錯了 淚幹了 放手了 後悔了

只是回憶的音樂盒還旋轉著 要怎麼停呢

怎麼了 你累了 說好的 幸福呢
我懂了 不說了 愛淡了 夢遠了
我都還記得
你不等了 說好的 幸福呢
我錯了 淚幹了 放手了 後悔了

只是回憶的音樂盒還旋轉著 要怎麼停呢

Natural VS Unnatural

This is an open letter which was copied from Binno (Ultrasound) blogspot. I'm doing my part to spread the news for the sake of Sandakan. Thank you.
  • If you're living in Sandakan - Nature City, you might know what is happening - hot topic dujour. Below is the content of the letter. Read it, because the destiny of Sandakan is in your hands!
    From KL to Sandakan on Air-Asia is a fast 2 plus hours and one is ready to enjoy friendly hospitality, fresh-seafood and the embrace of mother nature. On our MAS, Malaysia's National Carrier it takes a bit longer - 2 hops and almost a day. Besides seafood, Sandakan is also well known to Westerners as the sanctuary for Oran Utan, Proboscis monkeys and endangered Turtles (on Turtle Island).

  • To Australians, Sandakan is known for her War Memorial dedicated to our Aussie heroes marched to their death in WW2. To be fair, Sandakan was also captured in a less known Japanese "B" movie of the same name. She is also home to the famous American writer Agnes Keith who once lived here with her family and was inspired to write of her experiences about the Land under the wind. Her house now stands as a tourist attraction show-casing how the whites lived in paradise as it was then (after the Government spend millions fixing the old home at the hill top). Even books were written about the non-white inhabitants - The Towkays of Sabah - better known for clan rivalry to exploiting timber trade. Setting aside its historical moments, Sandakan always stood as a refuge for us who have made it our home since grandpa's time, all stood proud when she was crowned with the Title - Nature City, a first in Malaysia.In early 2008, Sandakan woke up to the prospect of hosting a 300 MW Coal powered plant at her door-steps, courtesy of the Government and the Sabah Electricity S/B (subsidiary of Tenaga Bhd).This Coal powered plant was earlier rejected by Lahad Datu (a nearby town) because it might endanger or damage Meliau Basin and its prehistoric flora/fauna. If the Government have their way with Sabah Electricity, they will put a 300 MW Coal powered plant in Sandakan and more specifically (though unconfirmed) in the Palm Oil Industrial Cluster (POIC) which is situated a stone throw from two housing estates (towards north) and to the forest reserves for Oran Utan (towards west).

  • Sandakan town sits a close 14 km to the east.A group of businessmen (from Chinese Chambers of Commerce) have been tirelessly opposing this and have gathered over 30,000 signatures from the locals. To be fair, they have even toured other Coal powered plants in Malaysia and they are firm on rejecting the Coal powered plant which speaks volume considering their street smart dealings in spotting opportunities and characters. However more importantly, the health reason is well known due to its inherent danger of micro-particles which are trappable in the lungs of the vulnerable young and old.Interestingly this throws up TWO questions which are why COAL and WHY in Sandakan? What did Sandakan do or did not do to deserve this ? No responses from the relevant authorities to date to answer the call for Coal or Sandakan or both. In fact the only response from them (Sabah Electricity S/B) is a rhetorical reply asking the public to present other viable alternatives to their liking if this Coal powered plant is to be questioned. Great, this already tells volume of the EIA report which by the way is not even ready. For the uninitiated, Coal powered plants are well studied and well known to be the least favorable option of all the alternatives even with the soaring costs of other alternatives. For example SierrraClub provides a link to show how bad it is http://www.sierraclub.org/coal/ and that is only the surface. With information at our finger tips, our leaders must think we are slow or unassuming and we so easily cowed by their irresponsiveness, as a sign of their strength or ignorance ?Be that as it may, Sabah (the State) in fact has voluminous off shore gas (if they had not already pre-sold to the Japanese by Petronas- since no one is saying) and this should be considered the better alternative requires little mental effort. In fact, a combination of gas, biodiesel, solar (being in the tropics) and biomass should be considered given Sandakan is the uncrown palm oil capital of Malaysia.

  • Anyone with some common sense could see Coal is not the answer to problematic electricity problem. In fact, this was the first excuse the Sabah Electricity S/B gave to pacify the population. It is no secret that the main issue with blackouts in Sandakan has to do with maintenance and the lack of it, as stated by a former Minister who was also a former employee. It is often that after a heavy downpour the electricity goes out because some trees fell and tripped the lines. There are unconfirmed rumors that equipment used in the current power plant are reconditioned from other states which may partially explain its dire state. After all, Sandakan is still the record holder with the most blackouts in Malaysia but we don't really mind given the alternative. Dinner by candle lights ? Blackouts give more quality time with family watching fireflies instead of TV or playing computer games. Some tourists that I know were delighted because they had not experienced a blackout before. Fancy that.Why Sandakan ? Most cities in Sabah are connected by a national power grid which means one can have the Coal powered plant plugged anywhere on the grid. Logically, this could be at a site of most opportune (read cheap) and logistically convenient.

  • I assume the Coal powered plant will be located at the POIC but to be fair no official announcement on this has been made to date. The POIC is a 1000 acs development to enhance the Palm Oil Industry.

  • The proponent has a website here http://www.sawitpoic.com/ and is offering RM 12 (US 3.64) per square feet. A typical Coal powered plant will take up at least 300 acs of land with a further 100 acs for its waste (ash). But who are the real proponents of the POIC ? In fact, the entire POIC was acquired through the infamous Land Acquisitions Ordinance of Sabah and some of the former owners are already complaining in Court. So who else have so much power in this State besides the Chief Minister ? Well, that will be the Yang Di-Pertua Negeri or Governor but the Constitution of Sabahonly allows him to act on advice (but whose advice?). With a stroke of a pen he declared over 100 landowners' land to be acquired for POIC under "public purposes". Those with financial backing will contest else will have to accept whatever compensation by the State (however distasteful) which may come only at the State's convenience (read - years from now).Finally, the Local Council (in Malaysia local councilors are unelected and positioned by their political masters) is trying to rezone the entire area designated for POIC from preservation of hilltop to special industrial (an unknown term), a process which actually requires public participation-feedback from the displaced landowners under the Town and Country Planning Ordinance. So far no notice was published in the newspaper or gazetted for this rezoning.

I was informed that this was not required as its rezoning is by an 'amendment' to a previous Sandakan Draft Plan 2003. Sounds a bit controversial to me. For some understanding of Sabah law goto http://www.sabahlaw.com/.So at the end of the day or night wherever you may be, I hope you will put in a word or two for us in opposing this monstrosity and be disgusted in the manner how this was forced upon us, not forgetting how this will definitely and positively add more carbon dioxide to the environment, affecting our climate (yes yours too) and probably causing us to be homeless due to rising sea-levels. Yes, we will miss our seafood or blackouts but we do not have any choices as mere citizenry.

Do give a thought for our environment.
It is yours too (when you come visit).

The Greatest Man in History

J E S U S
had no servants, yet they called Him Master.
Had no degree, yet they called Him Teacher.
Had no medicines, yet they called Him Healer.
He had no army, yet Kings Feared Him.

He won no military battles, yet He Conquered the World.
He committed no crime, yet they crucified Him.
He was buried in a tomb, yet He lives today.

I feel honored to serve such a Leader who loves us!

AND HE IS COMING AGAIN!!!!

If you believe in God and in Jesus Christ His Son... pass this to all on your buddy.
If you ignore it, just remember that Jesus said .
'If you deny me before man, I will deny you before my Father in Heaven.'

Romp's Love Opinion?

What is LOVE?

It can’t be touched,

It can’t be tasted,

It can’t be smelled,

It can’t be heard,

It can’t be saw.

Yet, human beings are able to sense it.
O~ Love, Why thou livin’ in a world of nonsense!?

周杰倫2008年最新傑作「魔杰座」主打 (稻香)


周杰倫2008年最新魔幻傑作「魔杰座」

周杰倫2008年最新魔幻傑作「魔杰座」魔術師與小丑的頂尖對決 周杰倫粉墨登場秀時尚版「煙燻小丑妝」9/24預購起跑 12款「魔杰桌曆」迎2009 「魔杰方塊」等歌迷挑戰
近來不斷深入鑽研魔術的周杰倫,已經預言了自己的新專輯將與魔術有關,即將在10月9日推出個人第九張專輯「魔杰座」!本是摩羯座的周杰倫,以音符和創意,變出星空中的新星座「魔杰座」,這個令星座專家摸不透的神祕星座,形狀有時是撲克牌上的騎士,有時又變成鬼牌上的小丑,變換不同的形體和曲風,在新專輯的預購海報設計上就以撲克牌的設計概念,呈現出魔術師與小丑的頂尖對決! 這款以黑桃J撲克牌設計的海報一曝光就令人覺得相當有趣,象徵周杰倫的音樂蘊含無限變化的可能,有時像魔術師一樣,對自己的音樂精益求精,給人神秘莫測的印象,有時創作又很天馬行空,如小丑般逗趣詼諧,而以「撲克牌」作為設計的主題正是周杰倫最近最自豪擅長的撲克牌魔術,對於魔術師與小丑的設計,他表示:「電影裡都是魔術師與魔術師的對決,這次海報的主題是魔術師和小丑的對決,很cool!」

事實上新專輯裡會有一首專寫「魔術」的歌曲,也有一首專寫「小丑」的歌曲,甚至兩首歌詞還透露魔術師與小丑的精彩互嗆,在預購海報上就已表現出針峰對決的意涵。

歌迷引頸期盼周杰倫一年一張專輯的推出,不景氣中唱片行各通路依然對周杰倫新專輯充滿信心,摩拳擦掌迎接周董新專輯9月24日開始的預購活動,在預購禮上面唱片公司精心推出了魔術方塊與2009年桌曆兩種禮物,各大唱片行通路贈送「魔杰方塊」;7-11便利商店贈送的是「魔杰桌曆」。六個面的「魔杰方塊」上有4面是周杰倫的照片,2面是圖騰設計,有趣的是原本要做整面是由周杰倫一張臉的照片拼出的9宮格,但因為擔心大家玩魔術方塊的技術不好而讓周杰倫的臉散落各面,於是每一面的9宮格就用9張他同樣的照片來製作。

近來魔術方塊在學生族群當中頗為熱門,很多學生會在捷運公車上玩魔術方塊,吸引大家的目光,可見魔術方塊有風行的趨勢,而周董近來魔術功力雖然大增,不過玩起魔術方塊卻還有進步的空間,他把玩「魔杰方塊」時說:「這可以訓練大家的智商和反應,你覺得它很快就可以轉到同一邊…」講著講著發現自己轉不回同一面時,緊接著說:「結果是不可能,這時候只好趕快再換一個。」連忙再請工作人員拿來新的魔術方塊。他說:「『魔杰方塊』有4個面是我,說不定接下來還可以辦場『魔杰方塊』轉轉大賽,這應該很有趣!」

在另一個贈品「魔杰桌曆」上可以看到這次周董為了預購設計所拍攝的12款照片,整體呈現出華麗又復古的氛圍!化身成魔術師和小丑的他玩心大起!在魔術師的部份就動用了多樣魔術道具,諸如鋼圈、鴿子、魔法棒、錢幣…甚至大型的人體木箱都派上用場,周董宛如魔術大師一般,所有的物件在他靈巧的雙手把玩下,一切的變化都是易如反掌!而為了化身小丑,周董可說是粉墨登場,化了個時尚版的「煙燻小丑妝」,一旁的周媽媽看得有趣,拍攝空檔還忍不住上前和化身小丑的兒子合照,周董調皮的露出駭人的猙獰表情,媽媽還很配合的裝做一副花容失色的模樣,樂在驚恐中。


最新專輯名稱「魔杰座」,代表的是音樂與魔術的星座,「魔杰座」有多個層面的意義,除了周杰倫原本就屬於魔羯座之外,他變魔術讓音樂變幻無窮,除了有一首專以「魔術」為主題的歌曲,其他音樂內容更是相當豐富,多樣曲風令人目眩神迷!而超乎感動的全新「杰作」,每一首都是他的精彩「傑作」!也讓喜愛周杰倫音樂的人重新歸類自己的星座。即將在10月9日推出的「魔杰座」在包裝上將推出兩種版本,分別有「鐵盒酷炫版」與「紙盒珍藏版」,「鐵盒酷炫版」加贈騎士卡貼紙(悠遊卡size等卡片可使用),讓歌迷有不同的收藏選擇。

■周杰倫2008最新專輯「魔杰座」預購說明

◆預購時間:2008年9月24日(星期三)開始
◆7-11預購贈送『魔杰桌曆』
◆各大唱片行預購贈送『魔杰方塊』



周杰倫《稻香》MV 120秒 ; Jay Chou's "Fragrance of Rice"





「稻 香」 詞:周杰倫 曲:周杰倫

對這個世界如果你有太多的抱怨
跌倒了就不敢繼續往前走
為什麼人要這麼的脆弱 墮落
請你打開電視看看
多少人為生命在努力勇敢的走下去
我們是不是該知足
珍惜一切 就算沒有擁有

還記得你說家是唯一的城堡 隨著稻香河流繼續奔跑
微微笑 小時候的夢我知道
不要哭讓螢火蟲帶著你逃跑 鄉間的歌謠永遠的依靠
回家吧 回到最初的美好
不要這麼容易就想放棄
就像我說的
追不到的夢想 換個夢不就得了
為自己的人生鮮艷上色 先把愛塗上喜歡的顏色
笑一個吧 功成名就不是目的
讓自己快樂快樂這才叫做意義
童年的紙飛機 現在終於飛回我手裡
所謂的那快樂 赤腳在田裡追蜻蜓追到累了
偷摘水果被蜜蜂給叮到怕了
誰在偷笑呢
我靠著稻草人吹著風唱著歌睡著了
哦 哦 午後吉它在蟲鳴中更清脆
哦 哦 陽光灑在路上就不怕心碎
珍惜一切 就算沒有擁有

還記得你說家是唯一的城堡 隨著稻香河流繼續奔跑
微微笑 小時候的夢我知道
不要哭讓螢火蟲帶著你逃跑 鄉間的歌謠永遠的依靠
回家吧 回到最初的美好

A Song For XX

Why am I crying?
Why am I lost?
Why did I stop?
Please tell me
When will I grow up?
How long can I stay a child?
Where have I come running from?
Where am I running to?

I had no place to live.
I couldn't find one.
I don't know if I could have any hope for the future.
They always said I was a strong child.
They praised me, saying "you must be strong to not cry."I didn't want those words at all.So I pretended not to understand.

Why are you laughing?
Why are you by my side?
Why are you leaving me?
Please tell me.
When did you become strong?
Since when have you felt weakness?
How long must you wait
for the day you understand to come?

The sun is rising.

I must go soon.
I can't stay in the same place forever.
You will someday be betrayed by your trust in people.
I thought it was the same as being rejected.
At the time I didn't have that kind of strength.
I definitely knew too much.
They always said I was a strong child.
They praised me, saying "you must be strong not to cry."
The more people said things like that,the more even laughing became agony.
I was born alone.

I'll go on living alone.
I thought that surely that kind of life is appropriate.



Original Lyric by Ayumi Hamasaki.
Translated by I-Don't-Know.

Pieces of a Family

It was... ...

A scream that I never heard before in my life. It is very extraordinary, indeed.
How broken into pieces of a family. Family?

Tears keep on falling down from the eye ; the eyes of a beautiful women.
How sad.. How pressurable it is.. Actually?

No idea about it. As I.. want to cry aloud too. But i just couldn't allow my tears from falling down. The tears damped the area of my eyes. Tears?

My heart.. Are you crying? Yes. It is crying indeed. Be tough.. As this always happen in life.
How sad when he walked away.. I was behind him. So far as i could see. Stop?

Please.. Don't go too far as I was left behind. Alone.
Why did you have to do so? No, please change your mind. Change?

As pessimist, extreme. Change to be more optimist as life would be more better, a little bit.
What we gonna do? I don't know. God?

This is the life. The Child's Life. The Story of a Child.
A person who grown up to be a man.

- The Broken Family of a Child -

"As God always listen to His child's prayer and rectify the needs. Amen."

Child,
Never fail to love the Family of yours.
Never abandon your family No matter how complicated the situation is.
And don't give a cold-shoulder toward your family.

Like I Do.

Love your family as Jesus said :

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, and always perseveres." - 1 Cor. 13:4-7 (NIV)

[5. "Honor your father and your mother...so that your days may be long in the land that the Lord your God is giving you." - Ten Commandments.]
[第五誡 "當孝敬父母,使你的日子在耶和華─你神所賜你的地上得以長久。"- 十誡]

That how a Family should be.

Thank you.

How to Spread God's Word and Why

How to spread God's word is a question that can be difficult sometimes if we don't have the true understanding of how we as Christians should go about it. Keep in mind what Paul said, "I will not ...speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me." Paul didn't place glory in what Christ had done for him, but in what Christ was doing through him. Now did you get the understanding of that?

Matthew 17:2-3 tells the story of the day that Jesus took his disciples to the top of the mountain where he was transfigured before them: "His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as the light. And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Him." Peter was so caught up in this spectacular event that he wanted them all to stay there. In verse 4 of the same chapter he says "Lord it is good for us to be here; if You wish, let us make here three tabernacles: one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."

As you read further into the chapter, you can see that Jesus thought it more important to continue ministering and spreading His Word. Verse 14 begins the story of the demon possessed boy who suffered severe seizures that Jesus healed. The message we can take from this story is that there are definitely rewarding experiences when following Jesus' teachings but you'll never reap those rewards if you don't put the work in and focus on the goal at hand, which is spreading the Word of God to everyone.

Now we all know, as followers of our Lord Jesus Christ that it is a great thing to have such a spectacular experience with our God and Father; but we also know that as followers of our Lord we can't stay there. We have a lot of work to do if we are going to follow in his footsteps, and we as Christians have been called to do it.

Now that we know our Lord works through us, we have become God's vessels by means of Paul's statement and it's time for us to open up our hearts and start spreading the word to others as those who approach us with God's word. Now that our lives were saved through Jesus Christ through the use of God's vessels we have become God's vessels. Now that we are God's vessels, is it not our duty to spread the word as those who approach us?

Take notice how Jesus' disciples followed him throughout his ministry and they all had a different point of view yet at the same time leading to God's message. Their story varied a little bit, but when you read all their stories, you'll discover that one story will help you to better understand the other. It is the same as when your reading passages in the Bible, one passage will help you to understand the other.

You see brothers and sisters, we are all unique individuals and we all have our own way of relating God's message. Since we are all unique in our own way, we are given a different point of view on scriptures. Now, because of our uniqueness, one individual will find passages that will lead to the understanding of another passage where another individual may be having a difficult time with that passage and that is where you come in.

The point I am trying to get across is this, we all have a knowledge of certain scriptures that can help others and at the same time others have knowledge of scriptures that can help us. Why is it like that? You will find that a lot of us have our special books in the Bible that we keep going back to over and over again and after a wile you start to specialize in that book. Because now you start focusing whenever you hear someone giving their point of view of scriptures that relate to that book. Then in turn , you go back and check it out, therefore giving you a better understanding. Therefore, by us all working together this will lead us to the true understanding of Gods knowledge and help us to grow stronger in God's word and at the same time we are showing others how to spread God's word.

Now that we are doing our part in spreading the word and giving people a better understanding of Gods knowledge, we are helping them to grow stronger. This is because they can now see all the great and true benefits as a result of following our Lord Jesus Christ. As they keep growing stronger in God's knowledge by Christ working through us (God's vessels) it won't be long before they to will start spreading God's word (and this would be a good thing in God's eyes.)
Now let us look at this to get the full understanding of what we are accomplishing by taking our part in spreading the word.

1. By us doing our part in spreading the word and opening up our hearts and allowing Jesus Christ our lord and Savoir to work through us, there are a lot of lives being saved just as we have been saved.
2. Through us spreading out our knowledge that we specialize in, you never know who will come across it and cause them to do a farther investigation and at the same time the Holy Spirit is pressing down on them.
3. Doing what we are supposed to be doing through passing along what we have learned so that others may also have this golden opportunity.
4. By us doing our part in spreading the word, we are not only doing our part, we are also showing others how to spread Gods word. Now stop and think for a moment and give this some serious thought. By us doing our part through showing others how to spread Gods word, if you use your imagination you will see how far this will branch out and it started from you.
What is imagination? Ability to visualize: the ability to form images and ideas in the mind, especially of things never seen or experienced directly. Does that sound familiar to you?
If it is in your heart to spread the word and you don't know how to spread God's word and want to reach out to many, than give the internet some serious thought by using it as your vehicle. Blogging ,writing articles, start an email newsletter, build a Christian website, these are all good ways to get the word out. And the best part about using these tools is that you can find them on the internet for free to low cost.


Thanks to Francis Hirak.

Love in Christianity

The Christian understanding is that love comes from God. The love of man and woman, eros in Greek, and the unselfish love of others, agape, are often contrasted as 'ascending' and 'descending' love, respectively, but are ultimately the same thing.

There are several Greek words for Love that are regularly referred to in Christian circles.

Agape - In the New Testament, agapē is charitable, selfless, altruistic, and unconditional. It is parental love seen as creating goodness in the world, it is the way God is seen to love humanity, and it is seen as the kind of love that Christians aspire to have for one another.

Phileo - Also used in the New Testament, Phileo is a human response to something that is found to be delightful. Also known as "brotherly love".

Two other words for love in the Greek language, Eros (sexual love) and Storge (child-to-parent love) were never used in the New Testament. Christians believe that to Love God with all your heart, mind, and strength and Love your neighbor as yourself are the two most important things in life (the greatest commandment of the Jewish Torah, according to Jesus - c.f. Gospel of Mark chapter 12, verses 28-34). Saint Augustine summarized this when he wrote "Love God, and do as thou wilt".

Paul the Apostle glorified love as the most important virtue of all. Describing love in the famous poem in 1 Corinthians he wrote, "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, and always perseveres." - 1 Cor. 13:4-7 (NIV)

John the Apostle wrote, "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son." - John 3:16-18 (NIV)

John also wrote, "Dear friends, let us love one another for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love." - 1 John 4:7-8 (NIV)

Saint Augustine says that one must be able to decipher the difference between love and lust. Lust, according to Saint Augustine, is an over indulgence, but to love and be loved is what he has sought for his entire life. He even says, “I was in love with love.” Finally, he does fall in love and is loved back, by God. Saint Augustine says the only one who can love you truly and fully is God, because love with a human only allows for flaws such as, “jealousy, suspicion, fear, anger, and contention.” According to Saint Augustine to love God is “to attain the peace which is yours.” (Saint Augustine Confessions)

Christian theologians see God as the source of love, which is mirrored in humans and their own loving relationships. Influential Christian theologian C.S. Lewis wrote a book called The Four Loves.

Benedict XVI wrote his first encyclical on God is love. He said that a human being, created in the image of God who is love, is able to practice love: to give himself to God and others (agape), by receiving and experiencing God's love in contemplation (eros). This life of love, according to him, is the life of the saints such as Teresa of Calcutta and the Blessed Virgin Mary, and is the direction Christians take when they believe that God loves them.
