Just this morning I finally received my parcel of my order – Wu Fa Wu Tian 3D album. I just couldn’t wait to open it and see how the 3D works! As Show Luo described it that when you buy the album, it has one 3D glasses included so if you want to share it with your friends, you need to take it each turns.

And it is TRUE! 3D RIGHT IN YOUR HOME TV! and I don’t need IMAX! I simply love the technology!

I virtually can touch Show Luo <3

The other day I was so happy because I finally received my pre-order of Show Luo’s Luo Sheng Men album!!! The 80 pages poster book is worth of drooling for Show haha!

It’s very hard to find a very nice modern Hokkien songs now a days and I fell in love with this Taiwanese alternative group called “Wu Yue Tian” – May Day.  They sing very very nice Hokkien song. I love it! If May Day can read this – I LOVE  YOUR GROUP! Thanks for making super nice modern Hokkien songs!

I don’t know the title of this first song (in Hokkien). Can someone tell me?

Chut Tao Ti by May Day

Wo hen kai xin! After weeks of delay, my ordered package arrived this morning. I got my copy of Ariel Lin’s debut album. THIS IS STRAIGHT FROM TAIWAN! Thanks for Keeping8Simple for ordering it for me. My money is really worth paid off! This album has the CD and DVD included – MUSIC VIDEOS!!!

I’m recommending Keeping8Simple if you want to buy anything Asian CDs or DVDs especially to those who doesn’t have credit card to buy imported stuff. They will help you in ordering them.

Today I’m gonna post this beautiful Tai Hua (in other terms – Min Nan Hua, Taiwanese, Tai Gi, Hokkien) song.

Some Introduction
Speaking Hokkien is very different from Mandarin. The pronunciation is very far from Mandarin. Way back of my schooling days (and also using while talking with some of my relatives), we speak Philippine Hokkien. Philippine Hokkien is not consider a dialect of Chinese language but an another variation of Hokkien. Hokkien here in Philippines, we tied it with some Filipino terms. For example:

To lo gua e sosi? – translation: Where’s my key?
Sosi – in Filipino is “susi” or “Key” in english.

And another good sample

Gua be bue sabun – translation: I will buy soap.
Sabun – in Filipino is “sabon” or “soap” in english

So it was like taglish (Tagalog-English) type of thingie. LOL

Anyways, here’s “Gua Meng Ti” by 翁立友. It is also a theme song in one of the Taiwan series. I guess the series is also in Tai Hua dialect.

It looks like one of my favorite Chinese singers, Coco Lee, is back with a latest album (Coco de Dong Xi East West) that was launched last August 14, and this song catches my heart right away. Another heartfelt song titled “Mei Li De Zhu Ti Qu”

Chinese Term
Mei Li means Beautiful
De – pertaining to the direct object
Zhu Ti Qu – Theme Song

I really do recommend this song. This is a great song sang by a beautiful and powerful COCO LEE!!!

美麗的主題曲 – CoCo Lee

我看著鏡子裡面的自己
不知道為什麽我會失去你
閉上了眼睛回味這段愛情
學習忘記 能不哭泣

我想不想一個人旅行
耳機裡聽著自得其樂歌曲
遇見陌生人 我也不會有所懷疑
生命沒有你 明天仍為自己繼續美麗

世界只有個你 誰也不能代替
如何把傷心權利 換成快樂的能力
什麽才是愛情 如何揮別過去
若有人再說愛我 我還有沒有勇氣靠近

我願不願意相信我自己
有一首原創美麗主題曲
不需要別人 也能在你生命流行
早晚有一天 還會遇到粉絲遇到知音

世界只有個你 誰也不能代替
如何把傷心權利 換成快樂的能力
什麽才是愛情 如何揮別過去
若有人再說愛我 要選擇微笑還是離去

世界只有個你 誰也不能代替
如何把傷心權利 換成快樂的能力
什麽才是愛情 如何揮別過去
若有人再說愛我 我看著鏡子裡的自己

First of all, I’m so happy to announce that I might get Ariel Lin’s debut album on September!! Yay!!!

I really really love this song. It’s a cute “wedding” song by D.T. and Join Tsai. Full of love and meaning <3

Lyrics:

陶喆：
春暖的花開帶走冬天的感傷　微風吹來浪漫的氣息
每一首情歌忽然充滿意義　我就在此刻突然見到你

Jolin：
春暖的花香帶走冬天的淒寒　微風吹來意外的愛情
鳥兒的高歌拉近我們距離　我就在此刻突然愛上你

合唱：
聽我說　手牽手跟我一起走　創造幸福的生活
昨天你來不及　明天就會可惜　今天嫁給我好嗎

RAP：
Jolin in the house
D.T. in the house
Jolin in the house
D.T. in the house
Jolin in the house
D.T. in the house
Our love in the house

陶喆：
夏日的熱情打動春天的懶散　陽光照耀美滿的家庭
每一首情歌都會勾起回憶　想當年我是怎麼認識你

Jolin：
冬天的憂傷接續秋天的孤單　微風吹來枯了的思念
鳥兒的高歌唱著不要別離　此刻我多麼想要擁抱你

合唱：
聽我說手牽手　跟我一起走　過著安定的生活
昨天你來不及　明天就會可惜　今天你要嫁給我
聽我說手牽手　我們一起走　把你一生交給我
昨天不要回頭　明天要到白首　今天你要嫁給我

RAP：
叮咚　聽著禮堂的鍾聲　我們在上帝和親友面前見證
這對男女現在就要結為夫妻　不要忘了這一切是多麼的神聖
你願意生死苦樂永遠和他在一起
愛惜他　尊重他　安慰他　保護著他
兩人同心建立起美滿的家庭　你願意這樣做嗎? Yes,I do

合唱：
聽我說手牽手　一路到盡頭　把你一生交給我
昨天已是過去　明天更多回憶　今天你要嫁給我
今天你要嫁給我　今天你要嫁給我
