Random Summer Pics..........................

We have been having a lot of fun lately and taking advantage of all the good weather we have been getting. When Keira is not inside doing one of her many Justin Bieber's routines or trying my patience with all her running around, we usually like to go out and enjoy the nice weather.

What we have been up to............

Its been really a busy couple of months, but hey, we are all very excited and looking forward to having a lot of fun this summer. Keira is really becoming a beautiful young woman, its hard to believe it was only few years ago that she was this tiny little baby in my arms.

Here is a video of Keira dancing and singing to some of Teresa Teng's songs



I have recently receive a lot of emails asking why i have not updated my blog in a while, i am sorry guys, i have just been too busy with work, family and school, i will try to update as much as i can.

Song of the Week.......

This is by far one of my favorite songs from the legendary Taiwanese singer Teresa Teng, Miss Teng's ability to connect with people when she perform was amazing, my only regret is that she did not live long enough for me to see her perform in person.

Check out this video as Teresa Teng sings her hit song (Ni zen me shuo, 你怎麼說, What Do You Have To Say ?) and interacts with people in the audience, at the queen Elizabeth stadium during her 1982 concert in Hong Kong.





Teresa Teng - Ni Zen Me Shuo - What Do You Have To Say?


Lyrics:
你怎么說 | Ni Zen Me Shuo | What do You have to Say?

＊我没忘记　你忘记我
＊Wo mei wang ji ni wang ji wo
＊I haven’t forgotten, but you’ve forgotten me.

连名子你都说错
Lian ming zi ni dou shuo chuo
You even get my name wrong

证明你一切都是在骗我
Zheng ming ni yi qie dou shi zai pian wo
Goes to show that you've been lying to me

看今天你怎麽说
Kan jin tian ni zen me shuo
Let's see what you have to say today


＃你说过两天来看我
＃Ni shuo guo liang tian lai kan wo
＃You say that you'll come look for me in a couple of days

一等就是一年多
Yi deng jiu shi yi nian duo
But I've waited for over a year

三百六十五个日子不好过
San bai liu shi wu ri zi bu hao guo
365 days is not easy to get by

你心里根本没有我
Ni xin li gen ben mei you wo
I am not in your heart at all

把我的爱情还给我
Ba wo de ai qing huan gei wo
Return my love to me

Taiwan reflection.......................

Standing with Teresa Teng in the music store.

I have gotten way too lazy to blog since i got back from Taiwan, but my vacation in Taiwan was great, not only did i spend some time with my Dad and other relatives,I also went on an allout shopping spree looking for some Hard to find Taiwanese oldies from the 70s, and 80s.I bought so many CDs and DVDs of all my favorite oldies singers from Teresa Teng 鄧麗君, to Feng Fei Fei 鳳飛飛, and many more.

Here is one of the songs i bought of Miss Teng singing one of her many Japanese Hits..
I can swear i have played this song a million time and it still sound awesome....

I stopped at this one little music shop in Taipei, and in very bad Mandarin ask for any thing they have on Yang Yang Xiao Ping 杨小萍, And the lady behind the counter started laughing, i bet she was probably thinking you are so young and a foreigner what do you know about Yang Xiao Ping?

Some of my uncles and aunts in Taiwan.......

I must however say, i was proud of myself, My Dad,uncles, and aunties were all surprise at my knowlege of Taiwanese music and singers, especially the ones they grew up listening to.
