Sera Singing "Let It Go"

On Saturday, we felt like having a karaoke session at home. Initially, we just sang some of the songs we had from our VCD/DVD collection. Then I had the idea of using the videos from Youtube to sing those songs that we didn't have.

Sera really loved to sing the song "Let It Go". So, Lynn helped her to find the song from Youtube. Then, Sera started to sing the song with the microphone on the sofa. She was probably too lazy to hold the microphone in her hands. LOL!

And yes, that was Andy Lau's music video VCD on the sofa. : )

《细水长流》"Youthful Aspirations" on TesTube

I happened to see the Trailer on 《细水长流》"Youthful Aspirations" yesterday afternoon. What drew my attention to the trailer was, of course, the song 《细水长流》, which was one of my favourite songs. I had no idea what type of show and what TesTube were all about then. So I watched the telecast on Channel 8 last night at 10.30 pm.

I realized that《细水长流》"Youthful Aspirations" is a TV musical drama with Romeo Tan （陈罗密欧）, Rebecca Lim （林慧玲）, Xu Bin （徐彬）and Julie Tan（陈欣淇）as the main cast. TesTube is a brand new showcase of content where the audience gets to influence what goes on television, the Internet and social media. Viewers can watch, rate and vote for the drama of their choice. We were told at the end of the 30 minutes telecast that we could go to meclub.sg or xinmsn.com/Testube to cast our votes so that MediaCorp will decide whether they would make it into a drama serial.

I think this is something different/fresh for the local Chinese drama serial scene. I have always liked musical plays so I really welcome the idea of making《细水长流》"Youthful Aspirations" into a musical drama serial and incorporate 新谣 into the drama.  I also liked the pairing of Romeo Tan （陈罗密欧） and Rebecca Lim （林慧玲）, Xu Bin （徐彬）  and Julie Tan （陈欣淇） too. 

What sets a musical play apart from a drama serial would be the difference in the backdrop used and the duration/length of the story. In the case of a musical play, it's performed on a live stage so the backdrop would be limited and not as real as a drama serial which can be filmed outdoors with many different places as the backdrop. With more time, a drama serial can also develop the story further.

If you liked this show, remember to cast your vote at xinmsn.com so that we can see this made into a drama serial soon.

《隱形的翅膀》 ("Invisible Wings")

《隱形的翅膀》 ("Invisible Wings") was a song sung by 张韶涵 (Angela Chang).  Angela Chang sounds and looks very sweet.

I find this song very motivating. It's about having a pair of invisible wings that helped her overcome all difficulties. Finally, her dreams came true.

隐形的翅膀

作词：王雅君  作曲：王雅君

每一次都在徘徊孤单中坚强

每一次就算很受伤也不闪泪光
我知道我一直有双隐形的翅膀

带我飞 飞过绝望

不去想他们拥有美丽的太阳

我看见每天的夕阳也会有变化
我知道我一直有双隐形的翅膀

带我飞给我希望

我终于看到所有梦想都开花

追逐的年轻歌声多嘹亮
我终于翱翔用心凝望不害怕

哪里会有风就飞多远吧

隐形的翅膀让梦恒久比天长

留一个愿望让自己想像

which can be translated as:

Every time I always become stronger when wandering in loneliness.

Every time even if it hurts, I will not cry

I know I always had a pair of invisible wings

that helped me fly over despair

I will not think of their beautiful sun

I see that there will be changes in the sunset every day

I know I always had a pair of invisible wings

that gave me hope

I finally see all my dreams come true

Pursuing youthful voice singing loud and clear

I finally soared, stare intently and not be afraid 

Fly as far as the wind takes me.

Invisible Wings let dreams last forever

leaving a wish to imagine.

Note: As the lyrics were more abstract, I translated it in the way that I interpreted it.
