這首創作，是描寫『失去』的一首歌，細微地勾勒情感遠離的惆悵與心酸。一次一場探訪癌 症病童的活動，當時徐佳瑩和參訪者置身於小朋友、家屬和醫護人員中，氣氛熱絡溫馨，其 中一位護理長懇請她現場演唱之前比賽時表演過的「失落沙洲」，這首讓護理長聽了直落淚 的原因，是因為其中一段歌詞「我不是一定要你回來，只是當又把回憶翻開，除了你之外的 空白，還有誰能來教我愛。」深刻地唱出了那些失去孩子們的家長心聲，而這也讓徐佳瑩對 這首歌產生新的體驗。基於各種不同的感受交雜，「失落沙洲」是專輯裡演唱難度最高的一 首歌曲，「雖然初始動機是失去愛情，但在演唱時就會不斷想到那些，也許是失去親人，也 許是失去任何一些重要的東西的人，我貪心的希望它能包含更多的追憶。」
「失落沙洲」開場緩緩流動的弦樂一出，立刻領人進入一股緩慢的哀傷裡，沉靜中盡顯孤寂 ，極具渲染力。在陳建騏老師細細指引下，徐佳瑩以其圓潤清亮的聲線，完美詮釋歌曲中「 面對失去的悲傷」、與「接受失去的遺憾」的思緒轉折。
這首歌不但傳達了一個平凡女生義無反顧追 求愛情、追求夢想的勇敢與孤獨，也更像是徐佳瑩為了音樂勇往直前孤身北上的真實寫照。
我爱谁 跨不过 从来也不觉得错 自以为 抓着痛 就能往回忆里躲偏执 相信着 受诅咒的水晶球 阻挡可能心动的理由
而你却 靠近了 逼我们视线交错 原地不动 或向前走 突然在意这分钟 眼前 沙弥漫了等候 耳边传来孱弱的呼救 追赶要我 爱的不保留
我身骑白马 走三关 我改换素衣 回中原 放下西凉 无人管 我一心只想 王宝钏
而你却 靠近了 逼我们视线交错 原地不动 或向前走 突然在意这分钟 眼前荒沙弥漫了等候 耳边传来孱弱的呼救 追赶要我 爱的不保留
我身骑白马 走三关 我改换素衣 回中原 放下西凉 无人管 我一心只想 王宝钏
满身伤痕累累也来不及痛 那是指引我走向你的清楚感受 不管危不危险 都要放下一切跟你走 只要一起承担 只要你不放手
Its been a really long time since i fell ill with fever, thanks to tonsil inflammation! Actually, its my fault lah… had herbal chicken on the same day with roasted pork knuckles, grilled sausage platter and charcoaled pizza… wheat beer from Paulaner seems to make it worse (according to an unverified source). Waking up hourly for water and washing of face to cool myself down was damn tiring, but the discomfort was worse… I’m just glad that i am feeling so much better now.
Was going thru the fridge, to find an apple and a packet of Taiwanese sausages. A moment of brainstorm jumped on me! i made porridge with diced apple and sausages, some seasoning and it turned out not too bad… Hee… Cooking is certainly is one of my fav hobbies… cooking without restrictions and supervision !
Well, as many know that i had to rush to Hanoi on the 6th August to participate in my first tour guiding experience. Its very informal, after all it was an experiment mah…
They were a grp of 4 ladies, delighted am i when i they said i was the youngest amidst them. :) The foursome are quite different, and they came together rather interestingly. Of these four, i only know Teri… she was one of the jie mei i got to know @ estee’s wedding. She got in touch w me, informing me that they will be going Hanoi and i took the chance to play tour guide.
First, i did up a schedule… the items were all in, and the time allocated were quite realistic. One big challenge was i shldnt have gave them options, where alot of amendments had to be made. I shld have been firm. We did cover all the places, but i think i really died in shopping. The weather was killing me, and i think i was too hot for my tolerance to maintain functional.
It was a great trial, cos i felt i did try out something and learnt something… I do have another trip to plan, for my good buddy and her parents! So, this time round i doing up a budgeting for her first, then advise her on the date of my preference. It shld be exciting!
God’s favor upon me is like the air that we breathe daily; this trip to Hanoi has not only allow me to have a very minimal tasting of tour guiding, but also allowed me to do major networking and socializing with other Singaporeans here. Of which were the Singapore ambassador for Hanoi, Hungarian ambassador (cant rem of their names :X), Bobby who owns a western dining place which i will definitely visit before i leave, Halia representative where they do up class/fine dining in the paragon area of Hanoi, ppl from an educational centre who asked me i i am interested to do teaching with them…. etc
Er…. ya they must be joking! Me to teach A maths, physics, etc?!! They happily wanna squeeze one class out for me to do trial teaching, and i had beads of perspiration streaming down at the back of my head. Some time later, another asked me if i am interested to teach young children, and i am suspecting the young children refers to her cutie daughter… Yes, boo boo finally accepts me and we are having lotsa fun together, but nannying/baby sitting or tutoring her is a diff story altogether; the fear of letting them down is like the end of the world.
Thanks but no thanks… dun think teaching is for me, i find the email from calvary making more sense at the moment…
Its been a pretty tiring time for me, in the last few days, but tdy has got to be something to blog abt… Help yourselves to the point form events, cos i really no energy to tahan b4 i fall zzz again…
Got more to write but really buay tahan le…. BBL
Panadol extra came in handy today, the familiar headache made a surprise visit and i can feel my ears burning hot again… Cant really tell if all these were from the pouring rain from the typhoon visiting Hanoi or was it from the glasses of wine and non-stop introduction as Mr KB Lim’s daughter, eldest daughter.
Met alot of ppl, some exchange if name cards took place, and of cos my dad was proud to introduce me to the Singapore ambassador, whom he kept stressing as young handsome and capable. – . - You know i dun like to carry a tag that says “so & so” daughter, the ballroom was sucking life outta me…
Heard something that i would like not to hear; something confirming my fears which i cannot do anything but plan to run away to some other parts of the world, feeling tired of being a egg mayo filling.
Dun understand why dad and Hillman so enthu abt watching Money Not Enuff II movie once we came back from the red white dinner; Its kinda funny, but it reminded me alot of my grandma. I rem the exact scene where i saw my grandma lying motionless on the hospital bed. Sadly, we could relate to many of the ending scenes from my grandpa’s passing and my recent grandma’s demise.
I guess i am too exhausted from such a long day, looking forward to visit fren in Sydney and maybe hiding in NZ or xxx…
Concealed is the glow, beneath the dry sticks and leaves
Brewing in the skies, and stirrings in the winds
A fire awaits the bursting of flames,
consuming everything that stands in its ways.
