#IELTSSPEAKING PART 3 - EFFECTS [Kèm PDF]
🎗Can hobbies have negative effects?
Yes. I think if you spend too much time on your hobbies, it can affect other aspects of your life. For example, if one of your hobbies is playing games, and you spend hours playing Plants vs. Zombies or Angry Birds, then you will have little time for your studies and your social life. Another example is if you love watching movies, and after a hard day at work, instead of doing exercise, you spend all evening watching your favourite films, which is really harmful to your health. So, I think whether a hobby has negative effects or not depends on how we spend time doing it.
Sở thích có thể có tác động tiêu cực không?
Có chứ ạ. Tôi nghĩ rằng nếu bạn dành quá nhiều thời gian cho sở thích của mình, nó có thể ảnh hưởng đến các khía cạnh khác trong cuộc sống của bạn. Ví dụ: nếu một trong những sở thích của bạn là chơi game và bạn dành hàng giờ để chơi Plants vs. Zombies hoặc Angry Birds, thì bạn sẽ có ít thời gian cho việc học và đời sống xã hội của mình. Một ví dụ khác là nếu bạn thích xem phim, và sau một ngày làm việc mệt mỏi, thay vì tập thể dục, bạn dành cả buổi tối để xem những bộ phim yêu thích, điều này thực sự có hại cho sức khỏe của bạn. Vì vậy, tôi nghĩ rằng một sở thích có ảnh hưởng tiêu cực hay không phụ thuộc vào cách chúng ta dành thời gian thực hiện nó.
🎗What effects do you think humans have on wild animals?
I think human activities have great impacts on wildlife. First, we are destroying their habitats by burning or clearing forests for agriculture or tourism. Thousands of wild animals have died, and some species have become extinct because of habitat destruction. Second, lots of wild animals are suffering because of illegal hunting and poaching. For example, we can see many videos or pictures about rhinos losing their horns, wild elephants losing their tusks or leopards being killed for their fur.
Bạn nghĩ con người có ảnh hưởng gì đến động vật hoang dã?
Tôi nghĩ rằng các hoạt động của con người có tác động lớn đến động vật hoang dã. Đầu tiên, chúng ta đang hủy hoại môi trường sống của chúng bằng cách đốt hoặc phá rừng làm nông nghiệp hoặc du lịch. Hàng ngàn động vật hoang dã đã chết, và một số loài đã bị tuyệt chủng vì hủy hoại môi trường sống. Thứ hai, rất nhiều động vật hoang dã đang phải chịu đựng vì nạn săn bắn và săn trộm bất hợp pháp. Ví dụ, chúng ta có thể thấy nhiều video hoặc hình ảnh về những con tê giác bị mất sừng, những con voi hoang dã bị mất ngà hoặc báo bị giết để lấy lông.
🎗What effects does new technology have on employment?
I think the effects of technology on employment are both negative and positive. In terms of the positive, thousands of jobs have been created, and many people have benefited from it, such as web developers, web designers or IT engineers. Therefore, it has helped improve their living standards. However, lots of people, especially those who do manual work, are faced with unemployment because their work has been replaced by machines or modern technological devices.
Công nghệ mới có ảnh hưởng gì đến việc làm?
Tôi nghĩ rằng những tác động của công nghệ đối với việc làm vừa mang tính tiêu cực vừa tích cực. Về mặt tích cực, hàng ngàn việc làm đã được tạo ra và nhiều người đã được hưởng lợi từ điều này, chẳng hạn như các nhà phát triển web, thiết kế web hoặc kỹ sư CNTT. Do đó, nó đã giúp cải thiện mức sống của họ. Tuy nhiên, rất nhiều người, đặc biệt là những người làm công việc thủ công, phải đối mặt với thất nghiệp vì công việc của họ đã được thay thế bằng máy móc hoặc các thiết bị công nghệ hiện đại.
🎗What effects has modern technology had on the way food is produced?
I think technological advances have great impacts on food production. Millions of tonnes of genetically modified foods are produced every day. These foods are more resistant to diseases than foods produced in a traditional way. And thanks to breeding technologies, some plant species have been saved from extinction. But we also need to think about the negative effects of technology on food production. These days, the overuse of chemical pesticides and fertilizers is one of the main reasons for the increase in cancer and other fatal health problems.
Công nghệ hiện đại có ảnh hưởng gì đến cách thực phẩm được sản xuất?
Tôi nghĩ rằng những tiến bộ công nghệ có tác động lớn đến sản xuất thực phẩm. Hàng triệu tấn thực phẩm biến đổi gen được sản xuất mỗi ngày. Những thực phẩm này có khả năng kháng bệnh tốt hơn so với thực phẩm được sản xuất theo cách truyền thống. Và nhờ các công nghệ nhân giống, một số loài thực vật đã được cứu khỏi sự tuyệt chủng. Nhưng chúng ta cũng cần nghĩ về những tác động tiêu cực của công nghệ đối với sản xuất thực phẩm. Ngày nay, việc lạm dụng thuốc trừ sâu và phân bón hóa học là một trong những lý do chính làm tăng ung thư và các vấn đề sức khỏe gây tử vong khác.
🎗What effects can watching television have on children?
I think that watching TV can have both positive and negative effects on children. By watching educational TV programmes, such as the Discovery Channel or BBC’s Planet Earth, children can learn more about the world they live in. Watching TV can also help them develop their imagination and creativity, which are essential skills for their future careers. However, if they spend too much time watching TV, they will have less time for their studies, and this could affect their academic results. Also, sitting for too long in front of the screen is harmful to their health.
Việc xem truyền hình có những ảnh hưởng gì đối với trẻ em?
Tôi nghĩ rằng xem TV có thể có cả tác động tích cực và tiêu cực đến trẻ em. Bằng cách xem các chương trình truyền hình giáo dục, chẳng hạn như Kênh Discovery hoặc BBC Trái đất, trẻ em có thể tìm hiểu thêm về thế giới mà chúng đang sống. Xem TV cũng có thể giúp chúng phát triển trí tưởng tượng và khả năng sáng tạo, đó là những kỹ năng cần thiết cho sự nghiệp tương lai của chúng. Tuy nhiên, nếu chúng dành quá nhiều thời gian để xem TV, chúng sẽ có ít thời gian hơn cho việc học và điều này có thể ảnh hưởng đến kết quả học tập của chúng. Ngoài ra, ngồi quá lâu trước màn hình có hại cho sức khỏe của trẻ.

毋忘五大訴求 公民抗命有理
—10‧20九龍遊行陳情書

胡法官雅文閣下:
2012年,我第一次站在法庭上承認違反「公安惡法」,述說對普選的盼望,批評公安惡法不義,並因公民抗命的緣故,甘心樂意接受刑罰。當年我說,如果小圈子選舉沒有被廢除,惡法沒有消失,我依然會一如故我,公民抗命,並且我相信將會有更多學生和市民加入這個行列。想不到時至今日,普選仍然遙遙無期,我亦再次被帶到法庭接受審判,但只是短短7年,已經有數十萬計的群眾公民抗命,反對暴政。今日,我承認違反「未經批准的政府」所訂立「未經批准的惡法」之下的「未經批准集結」罪,我不打算尋求法庭的憐憫,但請容許我佔用法庭些微時間陳情,讓法庭在判刑前有全面考慮。
暴力之濫觴
在整個反修例運動如火如荼之際,我正承擔另一宗公民抗命案件的刑責。雖然身在獄中,但仍然心繫手足。我在獄中電視機前見證6月9日、6月16日及8月18日三次百萬港人大遊行,幾多熱愛和平的港人冒天雨冒彈雨走上街頭,抗議不義惡法,今日關於10月20日的案件,亦是如此。可能有人會問,政府已在6月暫緩修例,更在9月正式撤回修例,我等仍然繼續示威,豈非無理取鬧?我相信法官閣下肯定聽過「遲來的正義並非正義」(Justice delayed is justice denied)這句格言。當過百萬群眾走上街頭,和平表達不滿的時候,林鄭政府沒有理睬,反而獨行獨斷,粗暴踐踏港人的意願,結果製造出後來連綿不絕的爭拗,甚至你死我活的對抗。經歷眾多衝突痛苦之後,所謂暫緩撤回,已經微不足道,我們只是更加清楚:沒有民主,就連基本人權都不會擁有!
在本案之中,雖然我們都沒有鼓動或作出暴力行為,但根據早前8‧18及10‧1兩宗案件,相信在控方及法庭眼中,案發當日的暴力事件仍然可以算在我們頭上,如此,我有必要問:如果香港有一個公平正義的普及選舉,人民可以在立法會直接否決他們不認可的法律,試問2019年的暴力衝突可以從何而來呢?如果我們眼見的暴力是如此十惡不赦,那麼我們又如何看待百萬人遊行後仍然堅持推行惡法的制度暴力呢?如果我們不能接受人民暴力反抗,那麼我們是否更加不能對更巨大更壓逼的制度暴力沈默不言?真正且經常發生的暴力,是漠視人民訴求的暴力,是踐踏人民意見的暴力,是剝奪人民表達權利的暴力。真正憎恨暴力,痛恨暴力的人,不可能一方面指摘暴力反抗,又容忍制度暴力。如果我需要承擔和平遊行引發出來的暴力事件的刑責,那麼誰應該承擔施政失敗所引發出來的社會騷亂的罪責呢?
社會之病根
對於法庭而言,可能2019年所發生的事情只是一場社會騷亂,務必追究違法者個人責任。然而,治亂治其本源,醫病醫其病根,我雖然公民抗命,刻意違法,控方把我帶上法庭,但我卻不應被理解為一個「犯罪個體」。2019年所發生的事情,並不是我一個人或我們這幾位被告可以促成,社會問題的癥結不是「犯罪份子」本身,而是「犯罪原因」。我明白「治亂世用重典」的道理,但如果「殺雞儆猴」是解決方法,就不會在2016年發生旺角騷亂及2017年上訴庭對示威者施以重刑後,2019年仍然會爆發出更大規模的暴力反抗。
如果不希望社會動亂,就必須正本清源,逐步落實「五大訴求」,從根本上改革,挽回民心。2019年反修例運動,其實只是2014年雨傘運動的延續而已,縱使法庭可能認為兩個運動皆是「一股歪風」所引起,但我必須澄清,兩個運動的核心就是追求民主普選,人民當家作主。在2019年11月24日區議會選舉這個最類近全民普選的選舉中,接近300萬人投票,民主派大勝,奪得17個區議會主導權,這就是整個反修例運動的民意,民意就是反對政府決策,反對制度暴力,反對推行惡法,不容爭辯,不辯自明。我們作為礦場裡的金絲雀,多次提醒政府撤回修法,並從根本上改革制度,而在10月20日的九龍遊行當然是反映民意的平台契機。如今,法庭對我們施加重刑,其實只不過是懲罰民意,將金絲雀困在鳥籠之內,甚至扼殺於鼓掌之中,窒礙表達自由。
堅持之重要
大運動過後的大鎮壓,使我們失去《蘋果日報》,失去教協,失去民陣,不少民主派領袖以及曾為運動付出的手足戰友都囚於獄中,不少曾經熱情投入運動的朋友亦因《國安法》的威脅轉為低調,新聞自由示威自由日漸萎縮,公民社會受到沈重打擊,我亦失去不少摯友,有感傷孤獨的時候,但我仍然相信,2019年香港人的信念,以及所展現人類的光輝持久未變。我不會忘記百萬人民冒雨捱熱抗拒暴政,抵制惡法,展現我們眾志成城;我不會忘記人潮紅海,讓道救護車,展現我們文明精神;我不會忘記年青志士直接行動反對苛政,捨身成仁,展現我們膽色勇氣;我不會忘記銀髮一族走上街頭保護年青人,展現我們彼此關懷;我不會忘記「五大訴求」,不會忘記2019年區議會選舉,展現我們有理有節。
法官閣下,我對於當日的所作所為,不感羞恥,毫無悔意。我能夠在出獄後與群眾同行一路,與戰友同繫一獄,實是莫大榮幸。若法治失去民主基石,將使法庭無奈地接受專制政權所訂立解釋的法律限制,隨時變成政治工具掃除異見,因此爭取民主普選,建設真正法治,追求公平正義,仍然是我的理想。在這條路上,如有必要,我仍然會公民抗命,正如終審法院海外非常任法官賀輔明(Lord Hoffmann)所言,發自良知的公民抗命有悠久及光榮的傳統,歷史將證明我們是正確的。我期望,曾與我一起遊行抗命的手足戰友要堅持信念,在艱難歲月裡毋忘初衷,活在愛和真實之中。
最後,如9年前一樣,我想借用美國民權領袖馬丁路德金牧師的一番話對我們的反對者說:「我們將以自己忍受苦難的能力,來較量你們製造苦難的能力。我們將用我們靈魂的力量,來抵禦你們物質的暴力。對我們做你們想做的事吧,我們仍然愛你們。我們不能憑良心服從你們不公正的法律,因為拒惡與為善一樣是道德責任。將我們送入監獄吧,我們仍然愛你們。」(We shall match your capacity to inflict suffering by our capacity to endure suffering. We shall meet your physical force with soul force. Do to us what you will, and we shall continue to love you. We cannot in all good conscience obey your unjust laws because noncooperation with evil is as much a moral obligation as is cooperation with good. Throw us in jail and we shall still love you.)
願慈愛的主耶穌賜我們平安,與我和我一家同在,與法官閣下同在,與香港人同在。沒有暴徒,只有暴政;五大訴求,缺一不可!願榮耀歸上帝,榮光歸人民!

Lest we forget the five demands: civil disobedience is morally justified
- Statement on 10‧20 Kowloon Rally
(Case No.: DCCC 535/2020)
Your Honour Judge Woodcock
In 2012, I stood before the court and admitted to violating the "Public Security Evil Law". I expressed my hope for universal suffrage, criticized the evil law as unjust, and willingly accepted the penalty for civil disobedience. Back then, I said that if the small-circle election had not been abolished and the draconian law had not disappeared, I would still be as determined as I was, and I believe that more students and citizens would join this movement. Today, universal suffrage is still a long way off, and I have been brought before the court again for trial. But in just seven years, hundreds of thousands of people have already risen up in civil disobedience against tyranny. Today, I plead guilty to "unauthorised assembly" under an unapproved evil law enacted by an unauthorised government. I do not intend to seek the court's mercy, but please allow me to take up a little time in court to present my case so that the court can consider all aspects before sentencing me.
The roots of violence
At the time when the whole anti-extradition law movement was in full-swing, I was taking responsibility for another civil disobedience case. Although I was in prison, my heart was still with the people. I witnessed the three million-person rallies on 9 June, 16 June and 18 August on television in prison, when many peace-loving people took to the streets despite the rain and bullets, to protest against unjust laws. Some people may ask, "The Government has already suspended the legislative amendments in June and formally withdrew the bill in September, but we are still demonstrating, are we not being unreasonable?" I am sure your Honour has heard of the adage "Justice delayed is justice denied". When more than a million people took to the streets to express their discontent peacefully, the Lam administration ignored them and instead acted arbitrarily, brutally trampling on the wishes of the people of Hong Kong, resulting in endless arguments and even confrontations. After so many conflicts and painful experiences, the so-called moratorium is no longer meaningful. We only know better: without democracy, we cannot even have basic human rights!
In this case, although we did not instigate or commit acts of violence, I believe that in the eyes of the prosecution and the court, the violence on the day of the incident can still be counted against us, based on the August 18 and October 1 case. And now I must ask - If Hong Kong had a fair and just universal election, and the public could directly veto laws they did not approve of at the Legislative Council, then how could the violent clashes of 2019 have come about? If the violence we see is so heinous, how do we feel about the institutional violence that insists on the imposition of draconian laws even after millions of people have taken to the streets? If we cannot accept violent rebellion, how can we remain silent in the face of even greater and more oppressive institutional violence? The true and frequent violence is the kind of violence that ignores people's demands, that tramples on their opinions, that deprives them of their right to express themselves. People who truly hate violence and abhor it cannot accuse violent resistance on the one hand and tolerate institutional violence on the other. If I have to bear the criminal responsibility for the violence caused by the peaceful demonstration, then who should bear the criminal responsibility for the social unrest caused by failed administration?
The roots of society's problems
From a court's point of view, it may be that what happened in 2019 was just a series of social unrest, and that those who broke the law must be held personally accountable. What happened in 2019 was not something that I alone or the defendants could have made possible, and the crux of the social problem was not the 'criminals' but the 'causes of crime'. I understand the concept of " applying severe punishment to a troubled world", but if "decimation" was really the solution, there would not have been more violent rebellions in 2019 after the Mongkok "riot" in 2016 and the heavy sentences handed down to protesters by the Court of Appeal in 2017.
If we do not want social unrest, we must get to the root of the problem and implement the "five demands" step by step, so as to achieve fundamental reforms and win back the hearts of the people. 2019's anti-revision movement is indeed a continuation of 2014's Umbrella Movement, and even though the court may think that both movements are caused by a "perverse wind", I must clarify that the core of both movements is the pursuit of democracy and universal suffrage, and the people being the masters of their own house. In the District Council election on 24 November 2019, which is the closest thing to universal suffrage, nearly 3 million people voted, and the democratic camp won a huge victory, winning majority in 17 District Councils. As canaries in the monetary coal mine, we have repeatedly reminded the government to withdraw the extradition bill and fundamentally reform the system, and the march in Kowloon on 20 October was certainly an opportunity to reflect public opinion. Now, by imposing heavy penalties on us, the court is only punishing public opinion, trapping the canaries in a birdcage, or even stifling them in the palm of their hands, suffocating the freedom of expression.
The importance of persistence
As a result of the crackdown after the mass movement, we lost Apple Daily, the Hong Kong Professional Teachers' Union, and the Civil Human Rights Front. Many of our democratic leaders and comrades who had contributed to the movement were imprisoned, and many of our friends who had been passionately involved in the movement had been forced to lay low under the threat of the National Security Law. I still believe that the faith of Hong Kong people and the glory of humanity seen in 2019 will remain unchanged. I will never forget the millions of people who braved the rain and the heat to resist tyranny and evil laws, demonstrating our unity of purpose; I will never forget the crowds of people who gave way to ambulances, demonstrating our civility; I will never forget the young people who sacrificed their lives, demonstrating our courage and bravery; I will never forget the silver-haired who took to the streets to protect the youth, demonstrating our care for each other; I will never forget the "five demands" and the 2019 District Council election, demonstrating our rationality and decency.
Your Honour, I have nothing to be ashamed of and no remorse for what I did on that day. It is my great honour to be in prison with my comrades and to be able to walk with the public after my release. If the rule of law were to lose its democratic foundation, the courts would have no choice but to accept the legal restrictions set by the autocratic regime and become a political tool to eliminate dissent at any time. As Lord Hoffmann, a non-permanent overseas judge of the Court of Final Appeal, said, civil disobedience from the conscience has a long and honourable tradition, and history will prove us right. I hope that my comrades in arms who walked with me in protests will keep their faith and live in love and truth in the midst of this difficult time.
Finally, as I did nine years ago, I would like to say something to those who oppose us, borrowing the words of American civil rights leader Reverend Martin Luther King: "We shall match your capacity to inflict suffering by our capacity to endure suffering. We shall meet your physical force with soul force. Do to us what you will, and we shall continue to love you. We cannot in all good conscience obey your unjust laws because noncooperation with evil is as much a moral obligation as is cooperation with good. Throw us in jail and we shall still love you."
Peace be with me and my family, with Your Honour, and with the people of Hong Kong. There are no thugs, only tyranny; five demands, not one less! To god be the glory and to people be the glory!

The world really has evolved several stages since 2020, and also since the beginning of my career- and that’s the beauty of it all. Nothings permanent, everything changes and newer, more exciting things keep coming into the mix.
Tomorrow my baby will turn 6 months. What a massive milestone, for her and for myself. As I am learning everyday to be a better mother, I am also learning to become a stronger me. I have been wanting to update fans and friends on how I am doing - and yet every time I try, I just feel like “oh gosh. Where do I even start?” And before that thought process is over, I would be busy either feeding my baby, changing a diaper, soothing her, or putting her to sleep.
The first few months of my baby’s life felt like it flew by so quickly yet at the same time pre-baby feels like a lifetime ago - everything in my world has shifted. My whole focus was her - I was breastfeeding, (which, by the way, is HEAPS harder than giving birth), making sure she’s eating well, sleeping well, and pooping well. And, understandably, paranoid about any kind of germs in the house. There was no difference between day and night, it’s just wake time and sleep time. It made no difference for me what day of the week it was, what weather it was, what’s happening with my industry, or with the world other than the daily Covid news, because I just needed to stay home make sure that my little newborn is far far far away from covid. I barely saw friends, and hadn’t eaten in a restaurant for north of half a year. As I took care of her, I barely had time to wash my own face, go to the bathroom, or sleep for a long stretch of time. I also didn’t have enough breastmilk, so I would sit there and try to pump the life out of me, just so I could provide half of a meal for my baby. I tried everything - but I do know that low supply isn’t uncommon. So- as glamorous as mom life can appear to be on social media, don’t be fooled. It’s humbling, but it’s also life-altering and the most rewarding thing I’ve ever done.
Emotionally, I’ve been so over the moon and happy. I enjoy spending time with my newborn baby, she makes me giggle and smile - even though I wish my mother was here to share old baby stories of me, and experience all of this together. But having a daughter really makes you feel more connected to your mother on a completely different level - I just know she’s happy and proud of me from up above. I’ve taught her how to semi-feed herself, how to fall asleep by herself, teaching her still how to roll, sit, and semi-stand (crazy!!), and I’ve played her tunes on my guitar like she’s the only fan in my fan club.
I also consider myself blessed that I never had issues with postpartum depression, despite suffering from mommy’s wrist. I had an amazing relationship with my 陪月/月嫂 who helped me immensely more than words can say. I have not been able to see my side of the family for over a year, but I’m blessed to have amazing in-laws and fellow mommy friends to share experiences with.
Nothing has been easy, but I am the most grateful for my husband - he was always by my side when I needed him. We change diapers together, we bathe our daughter, we sing to her together, and read bedtime stories to her together. I can safely say, that I’m MUCH happier than when I was towards the end of my music label contract. There have been some dark years there.
Hitting 6 months is a big deal for me. I can safely pat myself on my back and reminisce on THE single most biggest achievement of my life, my daughter. Obviously, 6 months is not long in the grand scheme of things, ie. her entire life ahead, but it is a big milestone for me mentally, and finally I feel it’s time to really focus on my own personally healing. I completely lost myself in taking care of her, and yet I felt the most alive and the most needed - and I found a new me in the process. It’s a beautiful kind of chaos and I embraced all of it. But yes, now it’s time for me again. finally.
Hitting this 6 month mark, I have decided to now wean from breastfeeding, take care of my body better, drink some wine, and write more songs for real. (If my daughter allows, lol). I am choosing to give myself some more me-time, read a book, get my nails done, and eventually get a haircut too. And.. start to think about dieting and training. Moms don’t get enough credit for deciding consciously to not slim down yet because they gotta breastfeed. But- with that said, all moms have their own struggles that no one knows of, so never judge!
A part of the stress that comes with social media sometimes, is actually comments on moms’ sizes, even praises of “wow you slimmed down fast!” As though that’s the most important thing of all. The toxic culture pains me and I just know it’s not the point. For me, it really was a conscious decision, just to be a mother first, above all else, at least for these first six months of her little life. And looking at her, strong, happy and healthy, I am truly so so proud of her for her growth and development.
And finally.. I’m finally ready to think about myself again as a musician. I know I’m lucky to be able to have a choice of being with her for 6 months; I count my blessings everyday. But as songwriting wheels become rustier, and as the industry evolves, I’m quite frankly not sure yet what a singer-songwriter mom looks like. I struggle to name artists in the Chinese speaking world that I could reference from - but I promise I’ll continue to bring music to those ears that still choose to listen.
I still hope that one day - little Naomi can see mama on stage. Looking down at her as she sleeps, I always imagine what she would be like as she grows up - and I hope that one day she will be able to pursue what she loves to do and focus on the truly meaningful things in life.
Thank you for reading through this thinking-out-loud random catch-up session blog thing. I’m just so glad I survived 6 months of motherhood. This stuff ain’t easy! Sending love and thank you all for the support, as always. More updates later!

love is long suffering 在 Lisa hui 許靜雯 Youtube 的最佳解答
心滿意足
作词作曲&和音:许静雯Lisa Hui 编曲混合:Awesome Studio
Lisa 的創作心靈:
經過漫長有如地獄般的愛情歷練,無論終點是什麼風景,我們都應該懂得"心滿意足"。
寫這首歌曲的時候真的是心力交碎,而且碎得一塌糊塗,那種對愛情失望而破碎的心靈,你有感受過嗎?
錄製這首歌曲時候,進了三次錄音室,都是淚流滿面的走出來,沒有一次成功的完成錄音。到第四次時候更是崩潰嚎哭,我不斷問自己應該怎麼辦? 那時候加拿大已經不能再給我停留,要準備回香港了,事情已經不能再拖延,不錄完就真的前功盡廢了,每次都哭得停不了,怎麼可以完成呢?
於是再次豁出去,在錄音室一邊哭一邊錄,錄了好多個小時,直到凌晨4點多。才錄完主音旋律。錄完了之後又感覺少了些壓迫力,畢竟這首歌真的讓Lisa迷失在崩潰邊緣,那種疑幻疑真,徘徊得失之間的情感邊緣,迷幻而不實在的感覺,令Lisa決定在最後段的副歌部分多加幾重和聲。Lisa當刻隨心即興的和唱讓這個原本R&B的歌曲有了自己的靈魂。
「 心滿意足」告訴我們,懂得當刻的放下才能領匯心滿意足。
等待一個人回到妳的身邊,那種漫漫長夜的痛苦煎熬,日夜顛倒,自己卻逐漸失去了照顧自己的本能,每日心裡痛苦糾纏,歲月與時光同步逐漸逝去。
要努力的放下心裡唯一掛念和信任的那個「他」,近乎不可能,你能懂嗎?可是現實的一切一切,都太殘酷了...
當醒覺的那刻倒過來想,只要愛過,擁有過,自問真心愛過,享受過浪漫熱戀的時段,我們都應該「心滿意足」了吧。
雖然寫這首歌和錄唱的時候,Lisa還是處於沒放下糾纏的心態。可是面對現實的殘酷,壓抑著的情感是無法控制,激發了無可奈何的「心滿意足」的出現。
这首是繼"沒關係"之後寫的第二首歌曲,雖然說“沒關係”,可是心裡還是放不下, 也得說服自己要“心滿意足”。
這首歌有在「A1 Chinese Radio Toronto Canada」有播放過,,與商業電台 嘅《馬路的事 我哋的事》, 還有台灣電台「獨立音樂講堂 -第二十八集」(DJ罐頭)。
Satisfied-
An Original Song from Lisa's song mind
When I wrote this song I was completely heart broken and had a really hard time recording it. Have you ever felt broken hearted and disappointed by love?
I entered the recording studio three times trying to record this song but each time I left in tears. I couldn't complete the recording. By the forth time I kept crying and crying. I kept asking myself what should I do? At that time I was no longer able to stay in Canada. I was ready to return to Hong Kong and my departure could not be delayed. How could I finish recording if I couldn't stop crying? So I tried again no matter how exhausted I was. I was crying in the studio and I recorded for many hours until it was 4 am. The main melody was recorded and I still felt it was not enough... something was still missing. So I added a few more harmonies to the last chorus to make it sound more full. When the harmonies in the last chorus were done, I felt relieved and was sure this is what I wanted. It gives a perfect “soul” addition to this R and B style of song. I always improvise, sing and record as many tracks as possible to make my original songs as best as they can be .
After all, this song was really about Lisa on the verge of collapse. On the emotional edge between wondering and loss. The psychedelic and unrealistic feeling that made Lisa 's impromptu chorus gives the song it's soul.
"Satisfied" tells us we don't need to be down to be satisfied.
Waiting for someone to come back to you, the long nights of pain and suffering. But gradually she had lost her instinct to take care of herself, the pain had entangled her heart everyday and time gradually passed away.
It is almost impossible to let go of the only "he" in your heart that you care about and trust. Can you understand?
But everything is reality and it is cruel. When we wake up and think about it, as long as we have loved, owned, sincerely loved and enjoyed the romantic times we should be "Satisfied".
Throughout writing and recording this song Lisa was in a state of mind that couldn't let go of the entanglement. However, in the face of cruel reality and suppressed emotions that cannot be controlled the inspiration for 'Satisfied" crystallized.
This is the second song written after "It Doesn't Matter". Although it says "it doesn't matter", I still can't let go of it in my heart, and I have to convince myself to be "Satisfied".
This song has been played on stations such as "A1 Chinese Radio Toronto" ,”Industrial Radio station "The Road and us", "Taiwan Radio's Independent Music Lecture eps.28"and shown live on Fairchild Television

神經錯亂太久
I’ve been crazy for so long
放棄深度研究
Give up chances to research more
每 個 物 種 都
All species have
有幾種方式得救
Their ways to be rescued
視覺喪失以後
After I lost my ability to see
感知力更自由
My perceptions sharpen and free
瘋狂攝取未知
Take in the unknown knowledge madly
領域得到富有
Enrich certain fields of study
多干擾就多抵噪
So disturbing
But it comes with anti-noise
屏蔽的程度多煎熬
Getting blocked is what is suffering
軟弱在求饒
The weakness begging
多枯燥缺少鼓噪
So boring
Without roaring
冷熱的欲望
The cold and hot cravings
呼之欲出的富饒
Turning rich eagerly approaching
終於輪到該說 All from me
Finally it’s time to say, all from me
千真萬確都是 All from me
It’s true and sincere, all from me
什麽都不管就Be strong for me
Nothing do I care. Be strong for me
Your love for me
Your love for me
確定著對著自己說出 All from me
I tell myself with certainty, all from me
就是 All from me
That is it, all form me
現在輪到你說 All from me
Now it’s your turn to say it, all from me
什麽都不管就是
Nothing do I care so
Stand with me. Trust in me
Stand with me. Trust in me
抱歉又讓你感到不適 _都因我而起
Sorry that you don’t feel good. It’s all because of me
視覺喪失以後
After I lost my ability to see
感知力更自由
My perceptions sharpen and get’s free
瘋狂攝取未知
Take in the unknown knowledge madly
領域得到富有
Enrich certain fields of study
多干擾就多抵噪
So disturbing
But it comes with anti-noise
屏蔽的程度多煎熬
Getting blocked is what is suffering
軟弱在求饒

多枯燥缺少鼓噪

All from me
All from me
千真萬確都是 All from me

抱歉又讓你感到不適 _都因我而起
Sorry that you don’t feel good. It’s all because of me
世俗之見失禮
The worldly view Embarrassing
周而復始抽離
Again and again Escaping
魂不附體孤立
Without the feelings So lonely
假裝對號入座是你
Pretend to choose the right seat That’s your choice
終於輪到該說 All from me
Finally it’s time to say, all from me
千真萬確都是 All from me
It’s true and sincere, all from me
什麽都不管就Be strong for me

love is long suffering 在 Spice N' Pans Youtube 的最佳貼文
If you like Xiao Long Bao or Chinese Soup Dumplings but have problems (like us) mastering the right way to wrap Xiao Long Bao, we believe you will like our simplified method. Chinese Soup Dumplings or Xiao Long Bao in Chinese 简易版小笼包 is really yummy yummy. It's also extremely satisfying when the Xiao Long Bao turned out perfect - ie not broken and full of soup when you bite into them. Life is goooood! :-)
See the ingredient list below for your easy reference.
Before we go on, we would like to give special thanks to the following sponsors:
Thank you Shogun by La Gourmet for letting us try your super good and durable non-stick pan. The pan we used in this video has a non-stick granite coating. We've been using this for slightly over a year now and it's still in brand new condition. Love it! Just a note to caring for your non-stick pan, please do not use olive oil in it because olive oil has low smoking point which will spoil the coating of the pan. Also do not use any metal stirrers in the pan because this will scratch up the surface of the pan and spoil it. When washing your non-stick pan, please use sponge - not those wired ones. This again will help to protect your non-stick surface. If you like to buy Shogun by La Gourmet pans, head up to Robinsons, Tangs, Metro, Takashimaya, OG, BHG etc in Singapore to get one for yourself or your loved ones. Those staying in Malaysia can also get the pan from most leading departmental stores in the country.
We also want to thank GoodSalt for giving us their products. We never knew such good product existed! How could we have missed it. GoodSalt is definitely good for everyone - both healthy as well as those who are already suffering from hypertension. You can get GoodSalt in Singapore from NTUC, Cold Storage and RedMart. You can also get GoodSalt from Amazon. Here's the link: https://amzn.to/2RrGCPr Switch to GoodSalt now.
