We Are One

楊明學

楊明學（1980年－2004年1月6日），是台灣已故作詞人。原本在加拿大唸書的他，2002年因罹患罕見的泡狀軟組織腫瘤〔或稱肌肉軟組織腫瘤〕[1]返台就醫，一直到2004年1月因癌細胞侵犯到肺而過世[2]前留下了不少歌詞創作。除了作詞外，他也曾在《明日報》網站上以「卡夫卡」名義發表許多創作。

楊明學的過世讓不少音樂人震撼，2004年1月滾石唱片公司為楊乃文發行《楊乃文 第一張精選》時，當時已與滾石唱片沒有合約關係的楊乃文，對於精選集的選歌就在官方網站上表示：「楊明學的過世對心情影響極大，沒有精力參與討論。」[3]在其告別式上首度獻唱兩人合作的歌曲《不眠》的范瑋琪，則曾說過：「我們的結識短暫卻深刻，感謝他讓我了解生命的真諦，也讓我真切懂得人生要珍惜。」[4]

日本歌手Gackt與楊明學亦為好友，兩人是在2003年因擔任王力宏的演唱會嘉賓，透過經紀人邱瓈寬的介紹而認識，據說楊明學過世前，Gackt不但透過電話越洋唱歌為其打氣，楊明學過世時手上戴的佛珠也是Gackt送的。Gackt不但在楊明學過世時馬上放下手邊工作搭機抵台送好友，至今仍不定期到其長眠的《林口頂福陵園》墓園祭拜，兩人的好交情可見一斑。[5]

外型相當不錯的楊明學曾擔任王菲《旋木》一曲MV的男主角，此MV的女主角為其當時女友許維恩。2009年1月前偶像團體B.A.D成員田恩沛與許維恩結婚時，在婚宴進行到新娘拋捧花時，就為其妻演唱這首已故前男友所作的《旋木》，並對她說：「我知道這首歌對妳的意義。」讓許維恩與在場眾多賓客都不禁感動落淚。[6]

孫燕姿 - 我不難過

詞:楊明學
曲:李偲菘
歌手:孫燕姿

又站在你家的門口
我們重複沉默
這樣子單方面的守候
還能多久
終於你開口向我訴說她有多溫柔
雖然你還握著我的手
但我已不在你心中
我真的懂
你不是喜新厭舊
你不是喜新厭舊
是我沒有
陪在你身邊
當你寂寞時候
別再看著我
說著你愛過
別太傷痛
我不難過
這不算什麼
只是為什麼眼淚會流
我也不懂
就讓我走
讓我開始享受自由
回憶很多
你的影子也會充滿我生活
我並不懦弱
你比誰都懂
雖然寂寞
這會是我
最後的寬容
終於你開口向我訴說她有多溫柔
雖然你還握著我的手
但我已不在你心中
我真的懂
你不是喜新厭舊
是我沒有
陪在你身邊
當你寂寞時候
別再看著我
說著你愛過
別太傷痛
我不難過
這不算什麼
只是為什麼眼淚會流
我也不懂
就讓我走
讓我開始享受自由
回憶很多
你的影子也會充滿我生活
我並不懦弱
你比誰都懂
雖然寂寞
這會是我
最後的寬容
抱緊我
再抱緊我
這一份感動
請你讓我留在胸口
別再說是你的錯
愛到了盡頭
是非對錯
就讓它隨風
忘了所有
過得比你快活
我真的懂
你不是喜新厭舊
是我沒有
陪在你身邊
當你寂寞時候
別再看著我
說著你愛過
別太傷痛
我不難過
這不算什麼
只是為什麼眼淚會流
我也不懂
不要再說
或許這是最好的結果
現在分手
總好過你不愛我一拖再拖
鬆開你的手
離開你左右
我向前走
這會是我
真正的解脫

王菲-旋木

詞：楊明學
曲：袁惟仁
編曲：黃中嶽
主唱：王菲

擁有華麗的外表和絢爛的燈光
我是匹旋轉木馬身在這天堂
只為了滿足孩子的夢想
爬到我背上就帶你去翺翔
我忘了只能原地奔跑的那憂傷
我也忘了自己是永遠被鎖上
不管我能夠陪你有多長
至少能讓你幻想與我飛翔
奔馳的木馬讓你忘了傷
在這一個供應歡笑的天堂
看著他們的羨慕眼光
不需放我在心上
旋轉的木馬沒有翅膀
但卻能夠帶著你到處飛翔
音樂停下來你將離場
我也只能這樣

范瑋琪 - 不眠

作詞:楊明學
歌手:范玮琪
专辑:一比一

7点10分清晨时分
慵懒的气氛
睡不着醒不了
我又失了魂
我苦坐着望着日轮
却以为是黄昏
鸟鸣莺声让我回神
才发现已经过了一生
浮浮沉沉假假真真
为谁辛苦为谁认真
为何努力为何牺牲
拼了再拼忍了又忍
还是欲望这种本能
会让人忘了有多心疼
只是不知无论如何
到了最后还不是一个人
到了最后才发现不是一个人

Introducing the late Mr. Yang Ming Xue

A young and talented man who has passed on and is now in heaven.
Reading through the blogs, links, I came to realize that his songs has touched me through the years.
I thank him for the wonderful lyrics that were written and engraved in my head.

Sharing some of his works with all those who's interested in music.

Photoblog

I am running out of words and I thick I should try starting a photo-blog instead.

It will just be a showcase and own keepsake of places I've been to.

It can also enrich me and let me enjoy whenever I feel bored.

p/s: gosh! it's not new.. So i've deleted it.
nothing comes free these days anyway.
I'm glad blogspot is still free.

Sharks Fin please....

Can someone please pass me another bowl of sharks fin?
The type that is just as what I had in chinatown bangkok?

How I miss the food. How I miss my bowl of birds' nest.
Opps, I know that I am killing, but well....

Wonder when the next trip will be.

I wait....

Grand Palace (Thailand)

2 times in the year, I've been to BKK for some R&R.

It's amazing how the photos are always different and more amazing shots are taken even though it's the same place.

Feeling moody, I don't know what I am writing.
Just feel like leaving a note for remembrance.

I hope to visit not just BKK during my next trip. I want to visit other places too. Ayutthaya is on my goal and also to some rural places to seek my inner most feelings and thoughts.

I am not stressed. I am just sick and not in the right frame of mind, I believe & insist.

Pain Pain

Just a knock on th e leg and it's swelling like a pig now.
Hope that it's nothing awefully wrong.
Will visit the doctor later and then the sinseh.

Pandemic H1N1

It's not as dangerous as SARS, but it's really spreading fast.

Whenever someone is down with a flu,""H1N1? You've been to any of the affected countries? Please go and confirm."

Getting sick is a scary thing nowadays. Who's not worried? Having to be quarantined, being scared when it's the occasional flu that you're getting but people look at you with the "H1N1" stare.

Being socially responsible can be tough at times. Having paid and not able to postpone cause you got it dirt cheap for the trip. It's classified under the affected country. Sigh.. I bet I'll still end up going because I'm not rich to throw away the whole package.

Getting things cheap means that you'll have to pay a high price should you need to postpone the dates. Hotel bookings might not be able to change too.

Let me leave it to fate since Singapore should be considered an affected country too.

THE ANSWER IS....11 July 2009

Ah soh is finally back in action, with a long fighting sword!
And the answer is? Or it will be? I'll be there to find out!

OMG, your tickets are getting more and more expensive, but I will still be there.

I am so excited, so happy, so lost for words.

Dan just asked if I'll be attending the concert in Taiwan. But I can't since it's too expensive as I'm not a high-flyer, I can't possibly fly here and there, indulging myself now that recession is scary.

So I am definitely excited to hear about the ticket sales only this morning at 8:50am.
"Ticket sales for The Answer is will be open via Sistic website at 9am. Sistic counters are only opened from 10am onwards." I was already on the transport and can't be back in tme for 9am.

By 9:33am, I am already in Sistic website, trying to get a best seat. I am quite happy with what I managed to get and I can't wait for that day...

Party Time - 18 Apr 2009

Finally I'm going for a concert "party".

It's been years since I've been to a concert party, where more than 1/grp of artists perform.

Not to mention the Yes933 awards since I do attend those too.

I remember attending an English party concert, I can't even remember what's the name/theme of that party where me and my school friends really enjoyed.

I hope and wish for a success comes this Saturday.

13jie, we'll meet again.

阿桑 - RIP

唱紅葉子的阿桑 乳癌病逝
[聯合報╱記者袁世珮／台北報導]
歌手阿桑昨天上午病逝。

因「葉子」一曲成名的歌手阿桑，昨天上午因乳癌病逝於新店慈濟醫院，年僅34歲，徒留歌迷仍在PTT版上「等待阿桑，期待飛翔」，昔日同門S.H.E與動力火車都表示十分震驚、難過。
阿桑本名黃嬿璘，2003年底因演唱高收視率的「薔薇之戀」片尾曲「葉子」一曲成名，被公司定位為「許美靜之後的都會聲音」，之後發行「受了點傷」專輯，但在2005年第二張專輯「寂寞在唱歌」後，卻是歌紅、專輯不賣，遭到解約，這幾年零星接兩岸的商演，收入不豐，外傳今年原本要結婚。
阿桑出道時已經28歲，沒想到燦爛的明星生涯一如她的芳華早滅，去年10月在大陸覺得身體不適，回台檢查，才發現是乳癌末期，且癌細胞已轉移到肝肺。阿桑的驟逝，令舊同事頗為錯愕，因為即使大家見面或msn聊天，她都不曾透露，依舊開朗。
阿桑在去年底部落格中，曾寫道：「我好了、清醒了、出現了、快樂了、能見人了，但是，要再等我幾天。」到12月，經紀人汪一平代為在網上留言，要歌迷給阿桑更多空間、鼓勵和祝福。
阿桑的藝名來自於歌聲的特色，她的出道過程也確實「滄桑」，高中選讀影劇科系，畢業後到藝工隊工作5年，好不容易有發片機會，不料大水淹沒demo帶，機會跟著沖走，只好繼續等待，等到「葉子」才終於出頭.

Got to know you through "Qiang wei zhi lian", your voice is so sad that it makes the show even better. Rest in peace and may you be the most beautiful angel.

Bday BBQ (27 Mar 2009) Part II

A fun filled day with enough food and conversations.
The yam cake was delicious and yummy.

The design was definitely a surprise to me.

Thanks to the 2 organizers and thank you me for a well pitched tent.

There'll be more tent pitching for sure.

Sunrise at East Coast, 28 Mar 2009 (Lunar Bday)

So in March, I managed to see both sun rise and sun set. I must admit that I prefer the sun set view. Definitely so as I woke up so early to watch the rise, and anxiety turns into xian-ness and the lost of it. Just as I was about to give up, there, I see the big egg yolk rising above the horizons.

A Big Thank You

This year I had a bbq over the weekend, held by my cousin and my god-sis.

Thaks Xiaoling and Apple for the special arrangement.

Then tent pitching, sunrise and the bbq food was nice.
Had a great time and a good memory to keep me going.

I wish all my friends with the smses, facebook greetings and everything.

I thank my mum for being there for me whenever she can.
I wish all the best of everything in this year to come and next and many many more.

Wish to have my joy spread to everyone.

Happy Birthday to me.

Sunset in Bintan, Mayang Sari Beach Resort

Celebrated Apple's (Lai) Birthday with a short getaway in Bintan.

19 Mar to 20 Mar was fun.

Booked a sea-view resort at Mayang Sari Beach Resort for 2D1N.

Though the ferry tickets are not cheap (S$49/pax), the beach resort isn't cheap too.

It costs S$174/nite with a sea-view, able to listen to the sound of waves.

It's the best I've ever been to, so far.

The Kelong Restaurant serves good, fresh food with the right servings.

Price-wise, it's definitely on an averge as compared to Singapore as it's in SGD.

But food wise, it's simply delicious and fresh. Live crabs serve in black pepper, really awesome.

Had the chance to view the sunset before the dinner, it's nice.

Seeing the sun descend and the "yolk" disappearing into the sea, it's a nice view.

Glaring as the sun is, it's also a little discomforting to my eyes during the start.

But I must confess that it's been quite some time since I got myself tanned, with the skin peeling, with the need to use some cooling gel.

Looking forward to East Coast tomorrow - for more sun, sand and sea.

And, eyeing for a trip to Koh Samui....

S$283 for a 3D2N Bangkok Trip in JUNE 2009!

Super Deal for a June Holiday, flying by Jetstar.

Since there's already a plan to visit the Land of Smiles and having been asked to lead a "SH tour" with my god-family, what's better than now.

Though it'll be only a 3D2N trip, I believe as an opener to a 9-yr old kid and family plus my god-mother who's all first timers to Thailand will be fun enough.

An early flight out a late night flight back to SG only cost S$163/pax, inclusive of all taxes.
With the hotel, half-day tour and airport transfer at only S$120/pax, it's no wonder most Singaporeans are still travelling.

I wish and hope that this promotion continues and maybe I can grab a good deal for my long awaited Korea Skiing trip comes next year. (Provided that I am still earning and everything is doing well at work.)

"The early bird catches the worm?"

I must be mad! During this 3days of my off days, I have suddenly been a good girl.
Waking up at ~7am and sleeping at ~10pm. I am shocked ay myself and I feel funny.

Am I sick? I ask my inner self.
Are you OK? I responded with a thumbs up.

Can't figure out what's happening to my body's clock, I just make use of the morning, checking my emails, catching up on my friends' blogs and enjoy the morning time reading the papers.

Since I am on night shift tonight, I shall enjoy and catch a nap later to ensure that I will be awake at work.
