Very happy to get this msg in my email inbox today! One step closer to winning free travel vouchers but also because this sorry meant a lot to me. As it was an advertorial/testimonial for Jetstar, it had to have that strong marketing angle. But it's true that I enjoyed my Jetstar flight, and it exceeded my expectations. And it's so cheap! Here it is... :)

Have you ever known someone for so long, and yet never met her? This was the case for me and my Taiwanese friend, Emily. Our friendship developed entirely via the internet, over the last eight years. We had clicked instantly through an online forum, thanks to our shared support for Hong Kong celebrity, Vivian Chow. Throughout the years, we maintained regular contact via MSN, exchanged photographs and spoke often about visiting each other's home countries.

I finally had the chance to meet Emily in Taiwan recently when I discovered Jetstar’s affordable flights to Taipei.
I didn’t have a great impression of budget flights, as I once encountered a major flight delay with another airline. However, Jetstar exceeded my expectations immensely. The check-in counter was conveniently located at Terminal One of both airports, which made the already efficient and seamless check-in process even more perfect. The flight was comfortable, and service on board was always prompt and polite. Best of all, both my flights in and out of Taipei left and arrived on schedule.


I’m encouraging Emily to visit Singapore so that I can play host to her in return. Obviously I recommended Jetstar!

改变

詞曲:黃韻玲

街上的行人匆匆忙忙
此刻的畫面是無聲的世界
我故意裝作不在乎
不在乎你和她的一切

我失去 了你
這是一開始就知道的劇情
我失去了你
也失去過去擁有的回憶
這樣的改變 你怎麼會不知道

我失去了你
這是一開始就知道的劇情
我失去了你
也失去過去擁有的回憶
這樣的改變 你從來不知道

《改变》是黄韵玲1987年的歌曲,是电影《我有话要说》的歌曲。多年后黄韵玲和好几位歌手如康康和阿妹依然对《改变》有偏爱,在多个节目都唱过。这是她和《遍体鳞伤》演唱者古皓合唱的新版本。

黄韵玲写的词不多, 早期较多。她的词不哗众取宠,不做作,有时简短的不像出自大师的手笔。但很能一针见血,tell you like it is, 让你的心隐隐作痛。

能够为一首歌同时词曲创作是好事。即使不是最出色的词或曲,却是最契合的组合,能撞击最原始的火花。《改变》就是如此。

感动是

感动是知道在你的心里,有我的足迹。谢谢你真心记得我。

做不成你的同事一直是我的遗憾。那句,“Our loss is your gain”尤其窝心,就算是客套的骗话,我还是愿意相信。有缘我们还是会见面。希望下次见面,我会让你没有拒绝我的理由。
