Check out this group called Da Mouth 大嘴巴.......

Da mouth 大嘴巴

I am not normally into punk rock music, so it was quite normal to judge these guys when i first saw their group Photo..... but i tell you it is never good to judge a book by its cover...they called themselves Da mouth 大嘴巴 i don't know what the heck kind of name is that, or why would anyone name their group like that, but i tell you they are really good.they are from Taiwan, but but their members come from all over the place. The DJ is called Chung Hua 板本宗華 he is actually half Japanese and half Chinese, the only female of the group is called Aisha 千田愛紗, also a Japanese name. She’s actually Japanese. rounding up the group are MC40 薛仕凌, and Harry 張懷秋 who is half Chinese and half Korean.

I just discovered Da Mouth recently and have been playing their videos nonstop. I'm really impressed by their vocals and rapping skills....as well as their dance moves.

here you can check them out yourself, you will be blown away too....

A Classic song by Feng Fei Fei 鳳飛飛..................

Old picture of us in Liberia, Africa in 1982, my dad is the first on the right, i am the kid with the red or orange shirt and short black pants, with my uncle holding me, my brother is behind the bike, and my cousin mei mei is infront the bike.

As more of you can tell by now, i am really into classic and traditional Chinese music.. i grew up listening to these songs, and it really brings back a lot of happy memories growing up as a kid in the 80s in an interracial home....
My father would come from work and would played these beautiful songs while he and his friends drink and play Mahjong 麻将. My brother and i would run and played with the other Chinese kids who will come to visit us, it really was quite a time.

Here is one of those classic song by the the one and only Feng Fei Fei 鳳飛飛.....

What a true Diva..........

Happy mother's Day Mom ....................

Dad....

Mom..

Today is mother's day and i want to just take this time to thank both my parents for doing such a good job with us. we were not rich but we kids always had enough to eat, we always had a roof over our head.
Mom always was there when we needed her, there is noway we can ever repay her or daddy for everything they did for us, but it is my resolve that my own kids know that no matter what, we will always be there for them. we had good parents,we were blessed, and it is important that we passed it on to our own kids.

I would like to dedicate this song by Teresa Teng called 娘 心 Mother's Heart to all mothers around the world for they are truly one of a kind.
I really mean it when i say 天下的妈妈都系1样的. they are really special.

娘 心 Mother's Heart....



The lyrics goes something like this........

迎著風霜腳步淒涼浪子在異鄉
Braving the wind and snow and cold, and, being the prodigal son in the foreign land
受盡創傷　歷盡滄桑　想起我的娘
Having suffer, as a result of adversities.. i remember my mother
娘心如綿　體貼我身　帶給我溫暖
Whose heart is soft, caring, and warm.
我要回到你身旁
I would like so much to return to your side.

不再放蕩　不再流浪　我要回家鄉
No longer will I procrastinate or wander about, I have to return home,
重新做人　重新做事　安慰我的娘
To start all over again, to re-do things, and to comfort my mother
娘心如月　照亮我身　使我不徬徨
Whose heart is bright like the Moon that lights up my entire being, and gives me strength so that i should never worry ,
也會使我更堅強
And makes me stronger.

Miss Teng, not only enjoy huge success in Taiwan where she was born, but all over Asia.
