大摇 2015 (not troll)

又是大摇的季节啦。

今年的大摇坐落在假期的最后一天。讲真的我还很担心会因为假期而冷场,因为上次校创还蛮少人的。不过后来我到达 KPS,哇塞居然满座啊啊啊啊啊。

其实 hor,我每年看完大摇就会在这个部落格写下对大摇的感言和 comment ,而且都纯属我个人意见。可是今年大摇结束后我就和其他 seniorssss 一起喝茶讨论一些些,问问他们的意见,所以这次的意见是来自至少七个 seniors 的。

还有还有,我当天其实刚刚从刁曼岛回来 -- 早上的渡轮迟到两个小时,然后还因为退潮而必须在码头两公里以外等小船来载我们到码头,然后还要驾车五个小时,到了吉隆坡立刻背着背包到 DTC 看大摇,进场时唯一的印象就是看到几个人高喊:还我苍井空................ 【awkward moment】所以前面所发生的一切我不便 comment。

大摇 2014

话说,今年不拍照了。乖乖坐在观众席看秀。

对,连照都不拍了。把相机递给四个小鸟,结果他们联合拍了五千多张照片。
五千,5000, lima ribu, five thousand!!! 我拍大摇平均 150-300 张罢了,这些小鸟平均每个人 1000 多张耶。以下的照片全是小鸟拍的。

The Grim Confession of A Movie Maker

I should have anticipated this shouldn't I?

I recently made a general-election related video for a group of friends, but it was not at all smooth-sailing. Far from it.

It all started when the leader of the group proposed to write a song to urge young, indecisive Malaysians to go home and vote. I was basically excluded from the conversation until a day before recording. It turned out that some pro video makers weren't actually interested and so I was called in.

Jack of All Trade, Master of All

There are also prominent musician from Taiwan Wang Lee Hom, British song-writer Sir Elton John, prominent scientist and book-writer Prof Stephen Hawking, and last but not least, the all rounder Leonardo Da Vinci.

Most people are blessed with a particular talent; Good vocal but no music sense. Excel in Math but have no basic knowledge on physics. Play badminton but suck at back-hand return. Scientifically-literate and at the same time public-illiterate.

Microsoft Certification Exam & DaYao theme song 2010/2011

Fuh finally free to blog again.

I was busy during the past few days because I was preparing for a Microsoft Certification exam. The exam was held yesterday in UM, and of course I passed~ :-) (passing score:700/1000) now stop looking at me with that surprise look.

I took up Office Project 2007 module, and it was fun learning all the features of Project 2007. The fees are already paid for by the government (RM1300 ++) so it's free for us students to take the course. It's a shame most of us do not use this useful tool when handling projects in campus-it's convenient and quite useful really, I'll definitely use it next time at work. =)

But the exam wasn't easy. I studied until late night the day before yesterday and woke up early the next morning to revise again. And the day before yesterday was the Winter Solstice celebration for us Chinese, and being away from my family meant that I didn't get to eat the Tang Yuan-and I got emotional for a while over the matter-but eventually the thought of failing the exam the following morning got the better of me.

The test was conducted by Prometric(the same organization that conducts GRE test) and hell the procedure was so troublesome. The most scary thing is that the results will be revealed straight away after u click finish. I got into some trouble with the computer but luckily I managed to pass the test before the connection terminated.

By the way, after coming back from Malacca everyone is like so emotional about the camp. So I took some time off to arrange the theme song and compiled pictures of the camp.

Just to share:


Btw if you like the song, it's composed by the Chinese Music Composing Unit of University of Malaya-Yao Lan Shou as the theme song for Dayao 2010/2011.

校创 2010

这是佩雯的歌,"Change"


得到了最佳编曲~可惜没能拿到前三名。
我还有帮人弹两首歌,可是都没拿到什么,所以就不在此现丑吧。

词:佩雯
曲:佩雯
演绎:佩雯
编曲:kar hui
乐手:我,凯文,Kar Hui, Raymee

不知不觉就到了最后一年。明年的我就孤零零的看校创咯。弥蒸和佩雯都毕业了去做律师和会计师,我如果读 MASTERS 也不会再活跃于摇篮手活动了吧。

校创过了,剩下的就只有大摇了。今年大摇应该是我生涯最后一次上台,但我也不多求了。上台或不上台都无所谓,反正我第一年时也错过了上台的机会,而且如果又让我编中国风,又没有凤凰的琵琶和 Lay Cheu 的萧,非常不方便。可是看到大摇乐手如此少,还 blur blur 样,根本不能够放心。我当时收了二十三个乐手,留下四个,去年收三个新乐手,留下一个。前年祥熙收不知多少个,一个都没留下。看来乐手真的是变成了稀有动物。

而且commitment 又是另外一个问题。乐手多,commitment低也没用。乐手少得可怜,commitment 再高也会累垮。所以这些东西需要一个平衡点。还有,组长有心就必须感染组员,让他们在第一年就对大摇有归属感,这样他们才不会轻易的放弃大摇。当年的我还在技术组的时候就是被当时的组长,Yong Li 留下。他让我们做multimedia,还有拍摄 MV,我们组员之间也建立了相当的关系,所以愿意一大群留下:我,清胜,伟生,Ken Fai。。

技术组一直都拥有良好的“留下组员”记录,在我前一年就有柳生,Mun Chee, Yong Li,等等。。可是在我后一年就慢慢的没有了。留下组员是非常重要的,因为他们曾经是大摇的一分子,已拥有相当的经验,对大摇的运作也比常人懂得多,所以办起事来不必拖拖拉拉,还要劳烦前组长来长篇大论一番。

现在的我,虽然还是对大摇的某些事物不爽,但是我不得不承认我对音乐的热爱因大摇而有所增长。大摇令我有机会与其他乐手合作,给我编曲的机会,让我更加认识乐器,能见识到其他大专乐手的利害。如果没做大摇乐手,我根本还是以前的我,没有一个平台来给我表现我自己--还是孤零零的一个人背着吉他流浪天涯来弹给自己听。

啊不好意思,从校创说到大摇pulak。。今年校创有点乱,但整体还是可圈可点。最重要是junior 开心,有学习到东西,因为他们在大摇将会用到至今在校创所学到的东西。开心是让他们有归属感。犯错的就把它当作一个学习,就像当晚的multimedia 。。小鸟们加油~~

唉。。老鸟就是老鸟。。说话都跳来跳去。。

Distress...unpredictable ending

Firstly, I would like to express my displeasure in an utmost polite way...
WHAT THE 法克!!!!

看了MIZEN 的 “如果你爱的不是我” Video, 我的心烧了起来,不是因为被感动,相反的,我差点把电脑丢下楼了。
这么好的开局,不错的 reintro,接着到 bridge,然后可怕的地方。。。我听了简直发狂,气到。。。。。。马德发克。。
(注:绝对不是歌手的错)
Sign.. then I told this to a friend, and yea.. perhaps it was my own mistake at the first place.. Moreover it's in the past, unless I could move faster than light I can do nothing about that mistake anymore.. Although many people told me that song was one of the best of the night, I could not help but to dismiss it as random, supportive comment. I would like to stop here, to prevent further dejection..

Anyway there was an earthquake in Taiwan recently(4th March 2010), magnitude 6.2, and there was another one yesterday (8th March 2010) in Turkey, magnitude 6.0. Geologists say that we have earthquakes all over the world everyday, but this year 2010, we have quite a number of dangerous earthquakes(magnitude 6.0 and above), and the most significant is the 8.8 earthquake of Chile, and also the 7.0 earthquake that devastated Haiti.. No doubt, earthquake is a major problem for earthlings, and it is even more deadly in poor countries like Haiti, African countries, Asian countries, etc. The earthquake that struck Gao Xiong, Taiwan was only 6.2, and there were only a few casualties, compared to several thousands who died in Haiti, and the 2004 earthquake in Indonesia. This, maybe due to the nature of Taiwan, having experienced the worst of earthquakes ever since its' first kingdom several centuries back, and the buildings are all earthquake-proof, and strict regulations are to be followed if you want to build something upon an earthquake zone. Japan is another example. The Kobe earthquake (forgotten the date) uprooted the roads and highways in Kobe, Japan, and although they were well prepared, there were still casualties reported.

We can never underestimate the power of Mother Nature. We took so much from her, and when the time comes, She unleashes Her fury(much more like seeking for vengeance) and upend whatever we painstakingly built. It is so simple. She shakes Her head, and we, much like small termites living on her head, crumbling to the ground with our "termite mounds".. Human is so pathetic... we are so powerful against wild animals, we conquered the oceans, the deserts, the deepest and densest forests of the Amazon, and the Artic, and planted our "fabric" on the Moon, yet we could not foresee the coming of an earthquake.

So the question is; what causes earthquake? That's very simple. So we move on to the next
What happens before an earthquake? Well geologists have no idea..zoologists say that the animals will become restless (perhaps they're about to pee?? XD)

Ahh....busted.. A dead cow, killed by the earthquake in Turkey, evidence that it cant foresee the earthquake. Probably it did but it didn't bother to walk out of the barn, away from delicious grass within. It died due to:-neglecting its instinct, and gluttony XD

Anyway, I read Newsweek yesterday and saw some interesting articles.. regarding the Obama administration that attracts more negative feedback that positive ones. Read it yourself :P and...I have been reading other blogs for the past few days, and realising that perhaps I should emulate their SSS (Syok-Sendiri Syndrom) and talk more about myself, my act, my feeling, my this, my that, less formal stuff, less informative stuff cuz those shits repel readers. Well at the end of the day I decided not to. I don't need avid readers, I will read this on my own, someday when I'm busy out there working, I could just log on and see what I thought when I was wild and free. This is the real reason behind me writing all these shits. Oh yea.. then I cannot write names because bad memories are meant to be forgotten :P

I'm just so cool V(~!^)V

马大-大摇 24/2/2010

Dayao happened on the 24/2/2010, and ended on the same night. (lame I know)
Anyway,
Took me several weeks' work to complete the 3 songs, and it ended within few minutes. That's probably the saddest thing in life.. severe preparation ended with complacency within the audience, but that didn't happen really.

第一首歌:手

对这首歌还蛮满意的。 但是听说ALEX 有弹错一些些, 造成了小小的遗憾。 歌手的演出很不错。 鼓手也没忘记东西, 所以我给这首歌打个6。5分。

第二首歌:断剑


我对这首歌抱着很大的期望,可能是因为对去年的中国风非常不满,所以今年带着一个一雪前耻的心态来编这首歌。
音乐一开始我就听到钢琴慢了,贝斯也慢了。 有点不爽。。但是后面就慢慢的进入应有的感情,让整首歌生动了起来。
到升KEY的地方,琵琶有点问题,但是我没听清楚,然后歌手也唱得非常好,弥蒸(抱歉没有你名字的ZHENG)RAP的也不错,最后观众的反应还不错,所以我也不追究了,打个8。5分吧!

第三首歌:如果你爱的不是我


这首歌也蛮好的,没出状况,歌手稳扎稳打,鼓手打得好,钢琴也OK,只有贝斯在后面弹漏了一些。。观众的反应热烈,只可惜这首歌放太尾了,很多观众都离席了,不然他们就可以听到如此动听的歌曲。 打个9。0分吧。

所以这次的大摇我给自己编的歌打了8。0分。 但是ALEX的歌我就不方便给予评论了。。因为我个人是觉得他编曲的方式与我的非常不同,玩法也不同。他比较属于SOLO乐手,我就比较SUPPORTIVE乐手。


今年大摇开幕GIMMICK非常有创意,是一架IPOD!


国民要吸美诗的血。。


哲伟努力的飙,,乐手也不甘示弱


佩雯风骚的样子。。


可爱的司议们。。感谢他们当晚带动气氛,讲了很多冷笑话。


断剑


吃蛇。。。



不要老去。。俊宾,CYNTHIA,阿海,美诗



大功告成!~


大摇08/09年度主席-李志伟


宇航


古代有文房四宝,大摇有大摇四老。。佩雯,MI ZHENG,我,阿SAM


凤凰


宝文

今年的大摇,我所背负的压力不多,但是看到JUNIOR们这么辛苦,令我想起了当年我一己之力背上乐手组长位子。。但是今年他们有三个乐手组长,所做出来的东西自然也比我的好。。所以今后必须要有至少两个组长,以便分轻负担。。
大摇画上了完美的句号,而我呢?明年还要不要再上台呢?那时一个非常头痛的问题。。。到时再看吧。。因为祥熙毕业了,我和弥弥还有一年,佩雯也毕业了。。唉。。。。我真的老了。。

*第一次用华语BLOG。。好累喔。。

Lee Hom and Jay Chou




















Listening to Lee Hom‘S 落叶归根 now
Really like the song. It's very dimensional, the violin echoes the great sadness with its deep+high pitches. The ensemble does a great job to create a solemn and sad environment for the violin tone, and the piano cushions everything. Good fill-in by the ensemble and piano, intertwining and filling in every pockets...




















As for Jay Chou, he normally uses his Cello. And that's an extra point because Cello's range is somewhat close to that of human (alto). That deep, thick sound of cello brings up a somewhat serious and yet convivial mood (using cello for Rock Around The Clock would resemble the usage of trombone), at the same time capable of doing seriously solemn and sad tone.

These two artists are currently the top two Asian artists in the market. They have solid background in music, both play a variety of different instrument, with solid foundation in piano.
They create what other people cannot~ revolutionary music, and utilizing their talent to the fullest. These are the real genius, what are we to stand alongside them? we can be their fan, but not friend. Because in order to be friend, you got to have something in common. They are so high up above the pinnacle of fame, who are we to even criticize their product?

Somehow, they are just human, extraordinary ones.
