14) A song for your own sake (1)
Why are you tearing, my dearest elephant?
Isn’t it for winning a big applause from the live audience?
You know boogie, you know art painting and basketball tossing.
And you should be happy and in high spirits.
Rather than tangle and muddle, starving in the jungle
And this is for your own good.
To leave your mother at childhood
So that you can learn how to entertain from young age
All these is for your own sake
That is what they rake

Why are you tearing, my dearest peacock?
Isn’t it for winning a big applause from the live audience?
You know fan dancing and catwalk, turning here and there doing all sides walk
And you should be happy and in high spirits
Rather than waiting to be fed by strangers in your own niche
And this is for your own good
To leave the lonely park
Performing your fan dancing art
All these is for your own sake
That is what they rake

Why are you tearing, my dearest fowl?
Isn’t it for winning a big applause from the live audience?
You know how to fly and do Thai boxing
And you should be happy and in high spirits
Rather than searching food in the poor village
And this is for your own good
To be a good fighter and front-line protector
So that people get cheer up and thrill to see you being a terminator
All these is for your own sake
That is what they rake
Why are you tearing, my dearest silver lining shark?
Isn’t it for winning a big applause from the grand dinning hall?
You know the way to please our taste bud and fill up our deep stomach
And you should be happy and in high spirits
Rather than being a bloody flesh-eating machine, you ended up in fine dinning
And this is for your own good
To be a first class cuisine just to sacrifice your fins
So that people can boost their ego and swank their image
All these is for your own sake
Too bad, that is what they rake
13) Toy Song
I am a naughty, jumpy monkey
I live in the air swing here and there
I take charge of this little airy corner
Receive the charming wind and the freshly air
I am the dancer of this family
My role of that is bringing on a cheerful smile and giving joy
I am a chubby, cute Koala bear
I live in foliage climbing here and there
I take charge of this greenery corner
Receiving the sun ray and the dew
I am the gardener of this family
My role of that is giving oxygen and bringing out a blissful face
I am
I am a clumsy food expert Hippo
I live in the kitchen serving here and there
I take charge of this little F&B corner
Providing salts and pepper
I am the food reminder of this family
My role of that is advising healthy life style and providing energy
I am a rest and relax kitty
I live in the library rack serving books for reading
I take charge of the library management
Receiving and dispatching books in and out
I am the almanac of this family
My role of that is providing knowledge and directory
We all live under one roof
We have different role to play
Regardless of breed or age
We obey the rule of the family
To be compromising and forgiving
To live in perfect harmony
Friend (21) – My Silhouette / 朋友 – 我的轮廓
Today is not a fresh and awakening Monday morning, but when I look out the window, a shadow lands on the wall of the building.
It is the silhouette of the building where I stay.
Perhaps, we feel very insignificant compared to this big universe. Then, leaving in a small space will indirectly affect our mindset.
This scene reminded me that I am living in a building other than a home. Outside this home, there are more space with different views awaiting for you.
You can try to stay along the corridor way for a little longer, waiting for a neighbour whom you can speak with, or choose taking the stairs to experience the difference of ascending and descending.
In this scene, I found my friend, he is call “space”.
今天不是一个空气清新的星期一早晨，透过窗户，一个影子停留在墙面。
那是我住的楼房经过太阳的照射，投影在墙上的轮廓。
我们也许心里感到自己很渺小，比起若大的宇宙。老是呆在狭小的空间，会间接影响心灵的空间。
这一幕让我了解，我是住在楼里，不是家里，家外的楼还有很多可以移动的空间，在那里还有不同的景色等着你。
你可以尝试在公共走廊多呆一伙儿，看看有没有可以打交道的邻居。又或者选择走楼梯，爬上走下都有不同的体会。
这一幕我找到我的朋友，他叫“空间”。
4) Problem and Picture
Wife: You always carry my photo in your handbag to the office. Why?
Darling: When there is a problem, no matter how impossible, I look at your picture and the problem disappears.
Wife: You see, how miraculous and powerful I am for you?
Darling: Yes, I see your picture and say to myself, “What other problem Can there be greater than this one?
12) Rubbish Song
Call me a cigarette butt
I sacrifice my nicotine nutrients to offer you a series of energy
And a secret path to chill and inspiration
The moment you lay me down on the ground
They call me Rubbish instantly
Call me a tissue paper
I got myself dirty to offer a gentle touch to your lips
And help you wipe down your glutton look
The moment you lay me down on the ground
They call me Rubbish instantly
Call me a bottled drink
I offer you a soothing feel
And quench your thirst
The moment you lay me down on the ground
They call me Rubbish instantly
Call me a river
I offer you fresh water from the origin
And the reflections of sky and landscape
But see what you have offered me in return
All the Rubbish you have laid down on my riverbed
And now river of trash
27) Where is this place?
Looking at the sparkling shine on the Pagoda of Ten Thousand Buddha at Kong Meng San Phor Kark See Monastery, located at Bright Hill Road, my heart starts to bow at the arrival of the sunbeam. Certainly, this is a glorious moment. In the benevolent eyes of the grand statue, we come out like a diminutive being asking for forgiveness of our sins. The greatest you think you are, the smallest you seem in front of him.
The sheen on the golden mosaic tiled ridge come into sight merely when one does not deliberately look for it.
At certain angle, it looks like the Pagoda is shore up by the cheerful leaves or could it be it’s sitting on all beings?
10) He asked
I asked the muddy ground
Why are you so shabby and with dirt all over your face?
This is what I am
He replied
If I am not what I am, then what should I be?
He asked
I asked the autumn tree
Why are you so sad even with your falling leaves?
This is what I am
He replied
If I am a bushy tree, does that mean I will be much more happy?
He asked
I asked the volcano
Why are you so furious, to throw tantrum on people?
This is what I am
He replied
If I am not on fire, then what should I be?
He asked
I asked an island
Why are you so foolish to set yourself in between countries?
This is what I am
He replied
I am just an island
Sitting on freedom and oceans
What else can be better than me
He asked
9) Pair Song
Pee lee Pair la Song
We all live in a Pair of Songs
You are the musical note
I am the lyrics line
You are fat and round
I am obese like the geese
We are like a pair of pomelo dancing
You on the left
Me on the right
You have hair so silvery
I have denture so yellowy
Let’s dance along with the Pee lee Pair La Song
You on the left
Me on the right
Let’s keep our secret tight
Till our hearts are open wide
I am a shy guy
You are the sunshine
Wait till I arrive
Make you be my lovely wife
I look on the left
You look on the right
As you are always right
And I am always with my pride
Not to worry if you got no one to share
He must be queuing somewhere
Looking for someone to guide
Guiding you to the right
8) Moon Song / 月歌
Lady Moon, is all your fault!
You should not have rivers connected to the sky
You should not have let the singer has such good voice
A desirable place we all look forward to
You should not release the wolves in the desert
To chase you to the end of the planet
You should not have unleash the vampires
You should not have gazed at the musicians
Eventually even those hard on hearing are also possessed
The melancholy poet and the mission painter
- Portrait Ludwig van Beethoven when composing the Missa Solemnis (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
You should not climb the tree
Dress up looking so demure
You should not have climb up to the bow of the ship
Pretending to flee your township
You should not have appeared on the 15th of the Lunar Month
You let the crowd on earth busy hastening
You should not have people dancing around the fire just for you
You should not have people manufacturing pious products for your worship
You should not let the earth live and let live
Fixing my eyes on you
Till they lost their lives
Until they regained their life

月亮,都是你的错!
你不该让河水接上天
你不该让歌手有这么好的嗓子
令人向往你的地方
你不该让沙漠上的狼
一直追你到天涯
你不该连吸血僵尸也不放过
- A windmill overlooking a moonlit bay (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
你不该老盯着音乐家
最终连那耳聪的也着魔
还有忧郁的诗人与使命的画家
你不该爬到树上
装扮含情默默的样子
你不该爬到船头
装作远走它乡
你不该在农历十五出现
让地上的人群忙于为你奔波
你不该让人为你围着火堆跳舞
你不该让人为你制造圣品来祭拜
你不该让这地球上有生命没生命的
盯着你看
直到他们失去生命
直到他们重获生命
