Yipppiiieeee..!!

Finally Khalil Fong (方大同) released his new album. And of course, it’s a Jazz album. Titled “可啦思刻” or can be read as “Classic” because those character pronounced “ke-la-si-ke”. Consisting of 10 remaked old-jazz songs.

1. You Are The Sunshine of My Life
2. Nothing’s Gonna Change My Life For You
3. Bad
4. 狂潮
5. La Bamba
6. 红豆
7. Georgia On My Mind
8. 记得
9. Wonderful Tonight
10. Moon River

My favourite one is “红豆” or “Red Bean”, it’s so ME with Fong’s style. And about the other one, it’s okay and uniquely nice to listen to.

有些歌 是一辈子的, 无论什么时候出现, 都是新歌o
男孩在自己的房间，拿起吉他，上了弦
他温柔而缓慢地调着这把老吉他，专心的像是世上只有这件事情可以做
一首熟悉的歌慢慢在心中，如轻烟袅袅升起
他弹起了前奏，又唱了两句，然后像是想起什么似的………
原来 这些歌曲
联系着过往和现在的自己
在时空中交错着的
是我们了然于胸的拥抱
方大同 2009自选辑~Timeless:《可啦思刻》
有些歌 是一辈子的, 无论什么时候出现, 都是新歌o
想必你会问方大同：
“为什么会录制这张翻唱作品呢？”
这个问题，其实是另一个问题的答案：
“是什么启发了你的音乐创作？”

2005年出道至今，四张全创作专辑销售与口碑一致受到肯定，不断持续在音乐世界里，燃烧狂热的创作力。创作动听，唱腔独特，而近来唱片圈称许为”唱作灵魂音乐小教父”，备受瞩目的方大同，下一步会是…？
每每发片，总引起各界好奇的想问方大同当初是什么开启了他的音乐创作大门？… 想要挖掘方大同热爱音乐与诱发创作的源头…

3岁半的自主
在父母亲的影响下，生在一个多元音乐的环境中长大，3岁半的方大同就已经在听歌，并且懂得选自己喜欢的歌听，慢慢的也开始喜欢买自己想听的歌曲卡带。他非常明白，他耳朵搜集到的这些音乐，是他学习音乐最刚开始的过程。

5岁的深刻
5岁时，看过一部关于音乐人的传记电影【La Bamba 】，开始了他对音乐与舞台表演浓厚的兴趣。那么小年纪的孩子，却有这番自主和深刻，也许是天份使然，这一切他竟然全部都记得!!!

早在2005年，方大同曾在脑中闪过一个念头…有可能某个时刻他会制作一张属于自己的翻唱自选辑。一部有关于方大同成长意义的自选辑，让自己永远记得回归起点，看见自己在每一个当下被音乐牵引的感动。
虽然听着旧音乐，脑子里转的却是新的编曲，当代的情境，这些歌曲等于经过他的体内又重新被整理了一次。他不时哼唱着这些歌曲，随着旋律的流转变化，兴起他对音乐世界的无比热情，和勇敢想象的信念。

方大同在这次的自选辑里，收录了10首好好听的歌曲，这些旋律在无形之中影响了他的生活，陪伴他的成长，为他的背景添上色彩，给予他音乐创作的养分。
因为真心喜欢这些歌曲，并且每一首都挟带着一篇成长的小故事，对方大同来说，重新诠释这些歌曲，不时有种不可忽视的情感在；明显感到和面对自己创作时的心情不大相同，但同样都觉得好玩有玩出兴味来。

入选的10首曲目，每首歌都有一篇专属于方大同和歌曲之间，成长过程的专属内心故事。专辑首波率先主打单曲：【红豆】，在大同11几岁重回上海，这个孩提时候成长的地方，发现当时身边的朋友都很喜欢在K歌房点唱这首歌，几乎是大合唱!!!所以这首【红豆】的旋律令他感到很有怀念的气氛。
好的旋律不因时间而改变
透过他的声音 记忆永恒的经典

JAZZ is GREAT..!!

workshop session

As a journalist and a blogger (unofficially), it has been kinda shocking when I heard that Blogging Workshop (Blogshop) - road to Pesta Blogger 2009 - also held in Samarinda. The objectives of this workshop were to gather blogger from Samarinda, to give further introduction upon blog and blogging activities and to promote the Pesta Blogger 2009 that will be “celebrated” on October.

Based on the committee’s comments, Blogshop in Samarinda was beyond expectation. A great cooperation with local committee, a great support from local government, a great support from local media, and a HUGE appreciation from the participants which was dominate by high school student, college student, teacher and lecturer.

Our expectation was just like 40 participants. So that’s why we just prepared 40 PCs. With consequence, additional participants should bring their own laptop. In fact, Blogshop in Samarinda was the biggest one compare with another previous cities (Malang, Semarang, Bandung and Balikpapan).

It means, Samarinda has an unique quality of blogger and blogger community. And unofficially, I’m proud of it. Although, my blog (this one) is just an ordinary personal blog. ^o^

It’s been a quite long interval between this post with the previous one..
And surely, there were so many things had happened on me.. They were particularly unique, and each one of them had their own impact on what I’m dealing with now..
From a great occasion (I considered it as that one) where I found a “V”, a true one that extremely suitable for my life and my vow to be a better man..
The other one was my first backpacking time to Malaysia and Changi Airport Singapore (yeah, wasting my time in Singapore by just stuck in airport) with lack of prepared plans, so I must be a trouble for my friend Daniel Teoh, Sharon Soh, Ryan Lee, Oi Ying and the others..
And the recent one, when I’m struggling to be a trusted man for the precious “V”.. And so far, I can attain some success upon that matter.. LoL..

All I can conclude, each and every event mentioned above considered as Another Hurricane, of happiness, in my life..
And I’m glad of it..
P.s.
As an impact of another hurricane, I made this post on my ..
In fact, this is my first post from ..
Feels nice actually..
