他还这么年轻。。。 He is still so young…

我刚去了医院回来,去探访一个年轻人。。。

几年前上台湾 Good TV 节目时,他当我的键盘手。他在台湾发展他的音乐梦想,几个月前他回来了,罹患肺癌。。。
他本身没吸烟,但吸进旁边人的“二手烟”也非常危险。。。

他非常瘦,掉了30kg。。。感动的是,女友和另两位好友特从台湾飞来照顾他。。。他把女友叫来因他感觉自己不行了。。。我外甥是他好友,是外甥带我去看他。

他很虚弱,治疗伤到喉咙,几乎没声音讲话。他看到我第一句话就是“几年前在台湾帮你伴奏”。。。虽然没什么力气,他还很开朗、很健谈。。。言谈间他突然谈到有时候他思想会有骚扰,会沮丧和消极。。。他说他曾答应上帝很多事情,他要用音乐为上帝做很多事,他还有很多计划和梦想。。。

他告诉我起初在台湾发展有多辛苦,好不容易能够买冷气机了。。。好不容易能吃好一点了。。。好不容易有一点收入了。。。。可是如今却躺在这里病了。。。他说他问自己说,难道就这样结束了吗?

说着。。。说着。。。他掉下了眼泪。。。

我看得很心酸,三十一岁而已。。。离去前,我为他祷告、鼓励他,我还能做什么?

上帝啊,你可以给他机会完成梦想,用他的音乐来荣耀你吗。。。?

I’ve just been to the hospital to visit a young man…

Few years ago he played keyboard for me when I was singing for a certain GoodTV show in Taiwan. He was pursuing his music career in Taiwan. He came back few months ago, diagnosed with lung cancer… He himself does not smoke, so you see how dangerous it is to breathe in even “second-hand” smoke from other smokers…

He is skin and bones, he has lost 30kg… the touching thing was his girl friend and two other friends came all the way from Taiwan to take care of him… he asked his girl friend to come as he felt he was dying… My nephew is a good friend of his, it was my nephew who brought me to see him.

He is very weak, the treatment damaged his throat so he could hardly speak. The first thing he said when he saw me was “I played keyboard for you in Taiwan few years back”… Though very weak, he was still cheerful and chatty… in the midst of our conversations, he said sometimes he would be attacked mentally and he would feel down and depressed… He said he has promised God many things, he wants to serve God with his music and he still has a lot of projects and dreams in mind…

He told me how tough it was when he first went to Taiwan, and finally he could buy an air-conditioner… and finally he could eat better food… and finally he has some income… but now he is lying here in bed sick… he said he asked himself, is that it? Is that how it is going to end?

As he spoke, tears rolled down his cheeks…

My heart was very moved, only 31 years old… before I left, I prayed for him and encouraged him, what else can I do?

O God, would you give him a chance to fulfill his dream, to use his music to glorify You…?

高分贝拔刀相助。。。 High DB Koh giving a helping hand…

虽然我不是那么会唱歌,但因为出了十多张唱片,所以很多人就常叫我教他们唱歌。。。事实上,我哪会教人唱歌啊?
这次承蒙我集音乐才华、创作、表演、美貌等等于一身的伟大少团团长,高分贝高尊大人的帮忙,这些要学唱歌的人终于如愿以偿了!
Though I do not really sing that well, due to the fact that I have released ten or so albums, many people tend to ask me to teach them how to sing… the truth is, how would I know how to teach people to sing? But this time, with the help of my mighty Youth leader, Mr. High DB Geoff David Koh who has musical talents, composing and performing skills and beauty all rolled into one, many people’s dreams of learning how to sing will come true!

学唱歌是一个艰难过程,费时、费力、费精神,但高大团长却非常大方的愿意传授给大家正确歌唱技巧,还愿意让这艰难课程给拍下供你们在家方便参考与自己练习。。。
It is no easy feat to learn how to sing, it demands your time, energy and concentration, but our Mighty Youth leader is so willing to impart to you the right singing technique, and so willing to let this tough lesson be recorded for your easy reference and practice at home yourselves…

所以大家预备好没有?
So are you all ready?

首先要知道,唱歌嘴形最重要!嘴形对,声音才会出来,字正腔圆。。。所以请注意我的嘴形!
First, you must understand, to sing well, the shape of your mouth is most important! With the right shape of your mouth, then your voice can come out with perfect tone and diction…
So please watch the shape of my mouth!

来唱个 “Ahhh…”
Let’s sing an “Ahhh…”

现在 “Ohh…”
Now “Ohh…”

接下来 “Uuu…”
Next “Uuu…”

很好,最后来个 “Eee…”
Very good, finally give me an “Eee…”

大功告成!你们那么认真学,再累也开心。。。
Great achievement! As you are learning so seriously, I feel very happy even if it is very exhausting…

哈哈哈!高大团长,请不要生气我们拿你来消费哦。。。哪,下面这张你真的很帅內,头发很好看,哈哈。。。
