總決賽名單公佈! Announcement of Finalists!

非常抱歉,让大家久等了,因最近金豹步步追踪最新消息,搞到金豹疲惫不堪,身体欠佳。。。
看金豹下面憔悴倦容,你就明白了。。。
Thousand apologies for keeping all of you to wait so long, but it is due to Golden Leopard unceasing pursuit to get you the latest news till Leopard became physically exhausted and unwell…
You would understand when you see Leopard’s weary and haggard look below…

但无论如何,很专业的金豹再病再累也要把最新的消息报告给忠心鸡婆的你们,所以哒啦!总决赛名单公布啦!第一位进入总决赛者当然是众望所归,妈妈听了代唱歌手所唱版本,大赞不已,但听了原著自己唱却默默无语的:

张秀月的“仰望祢”。。。但金豹应该会逼她改歌名,please啦!这种歌名随便拿石头就丢到一个,就好像名字叫John或Mary一样。。。单单我们这几个人的比赛都出现两首歌名叫“仰望祢”!所以基本上她歌名创意分数拿零分。。。

But no matter what, being very professional, even if he is sick or tired, Golden Leopard insists on reporting the latest news to all the faithful kepoes (busy-bodies), so tada! Here is the list of the finalists!
The first to enter the Grand Final is of course the all-time favourite, the one whose mother praised to the heavens the version the representing singer was singing but refused to comment when the original writer sang her own version:

Dorcas SG’s “I Look Unto You”… but most likely Leopard would force her to change the title of her song, please ok! Pick a stone to simply throw and you can hit this kind of title anytime, just like the name John and Mary… just within our own competition entries, there are already two songs called “I Look Unto You”! So she scored basically zero for creativity for song title…

第二位:李玮妮(代唱:尸体飞恐)
两人的对唱造成轰动,也惹出暧昧绯闻的“祢在哪里。我在这里”,仿佛抄袭罗密欧和朱丽叶的对白。。。而且代唱歌手尸体飞恐Steve一鸣惊人,让大家认为原本demo版代唱的大泥鳅DannyQ可以留在中东无名沙漠晒到变咸鱼了,如风砂被吹,歌声被人遗忘。。。

2nd finalist: WeiNi (Representing singer: Steve Kong)
Their duet of “Where Art Thou. Here Am I”, likely to have copied Romeo and Juliet’s line, caused much stir and created some romantic rumour between them… and the representing singer Steve Kong is really “a rooster that frightens everyone with its first crow” (meaning very impressive), and everyone feels the original representing singer who sang in the demo version, Danny Q can just stay on in some obscure desert in the Middle East, like sand blown by the wind, his voice forgotten by people…

第三位:大家已经知道的甜丝丝姐(代唱:忠卫)
原著田丝姐有翻版S.H.E Selina 和翻版蔡依林之称。虽然代唱忠卫也如同尸体飞给人一种一鸣惊人的感觉,但遗憾的是在总决赛,不会再看到他唱这首歌,因为甜丝姐坚持要自己唱,她认为没有人能比她唱得更好。当初没自己唱是刚好出门,逼不得已,本来还要用录影片段比赛!自信心惊人!

The 3rd: This you all knew already, Stephanie Thian (Representing singer: Zhong Wei)
The writer Stephanie has such nicknames like the copy of S.H.E Selina and Jolene Tsai Yi Lin. Though the representing singer Zhong Wei gave people the same feeling as Steve like the frightening first crow of the rooster, regrettably we will not be hearing him sing this song again in the Final because Stephanie insists on singing this song herself, she thinks no one can sing it better than herself. She did not sing in the preliminary round because she had no choice as she was travelling then, in fact she wanted to submit her singing in video to compete then, you can see how threatening her confidence is!

第四位:王保安。
这个啊。。。也有点争论性啰,他认为他是属于红哥和蓝包那一类,因为太强而被威胁退赛的。。。你们说呢。。。?
The 4th: OPA.
Well, this one… kind of controversial too as he thinks he should be in the category as David Koh and Rambo to be threatened to withdraw from the competition for being too strong a contestant…what do you say…?

第五位:也是你们知道的,边缘者最后挤进来的大屁虾。这个就似模似样,很会装艺人形象,事实上跳舞更厉害。你看他那么有型的头发,怎样动都不会乱,但他坚称那晚他的头发根本没吹,也没做造型过!一切都是自然的他说,我相信啰。。。

The 5th: This one you all know too as he was one of the borderline contestants to finally squeeze into the final, David Sia.
As for him, well, he has the style, very good at makinghimself look like a celebrity. In actual fact, he can dance much better. Look at how nicely styled his hair was and it did not get out of place no matter how he moved, but he insisted he did not style his hair at all that night! It was all natural he said… Well, I believe him….

报告了五位,大概都是大家知道一定在决赛里的,接下来的就比较是按你们的猜测和认为,是否会出现在总决赛的参赛者了。。。金豹现在也累了,待会再继续报导吧。。。。

After announcing the five whom most of you would somehow know are surely in the final, now the remaining ones will be those whom you yourselves think or guess should be i the final…
But Leopard is kind of tired now, we shall continue later…

诗歌创作:“蒙召为此”。。。 Song composition: “Called For This”…

寫經文詩歌應該是從1993年開始吧,因為那時在神學院每個禮拜都規定要背一些經文,把經文寫成歌,背起來容易多了。。。
也感謝主的恩典,讓我能夠一字不漏及一字不加的照着原來經文寫出來,而且也給我會喜歡的旋律。
跟你們分享這首我很喜歡的“蒙召為此”。。。

It must be the year 1993 when I first started writing Scriptural songs, it was because I was at Bible College then and it was required of us to memorize some verses each week. I found it much easier to memorize when I wrote the verses into songs…
Thank God for His grace too that He helped me to write directly from the actual verses without adding on or subtracting any words, and He also gave me the melodies that I like.
Share with you this one that I like very much “Called For This”…

“蒙召为此” (Called For This)
詞/Words:彼得前書/1Peter  2:21-25
曲/Music:林義忠 / GT Lim
(写于/Written on: 20/08/1993)

你们蒙召原是为此
(To this you were called)

因基督也为你们受过苦
(because Christ suffered for you)

给你们留下榜样
(leaving you an example)

叫你们跟随他的脚踪行
(that you should follow in his steps)

他并没有犯罪 口里也没有诡诈
(He committed no sin, and no deceit was found in his mouth)

他被骂不还口 受害不说威吓的话
(When they hurled their insults at him, he did not retaliate; when he suffered, he made no threats)

只将自己交托那按公义 审判人的主
(Instead, he entrusted himself to him who judges justly)

他被挂在木头上 亲身担当了我们的罪
(He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree)

使我们既然在罪上死 就得以在义上活
(so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness)

因他受的鞭伤 你们便得了医治
(by his wounds you have been healed)

你们从前好像迷路的羊
(For you were like sheep going astray)

如今却归到你们灵魂的牧人 监督了
(but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls)

 

 

 

 

我到底做錯甚麼? What did I do wrong?

我到底做错什么
倒霉的事总是找上我
我觉得我的人还算不错
可是机会为何总是躲避我

What did I do wrong
Why do bad things always happen to me
I consider myself quite a good person
But why do opportunities always elude me

 

我到底做错什么
好事仿佛都轮不到我
怎么别人都比我快乐
我在说什么你懂不懂

What did I do wrong
Why do good things not come to me
Why are others happier than me
Do you understand what I am saying

 

我到底做错什么
失败挫折一波波
何时才会停止
怎样才算受够

What did I do wrong
Failures and defeats keep coming
When will they stop
What is considered enough

 

我到底做错什么
你为何保持一贯的沉默
为何不把答案告诉我
我还有很多话要说

What did I do wrong
Why do You maintain Your silence
Why are You not giving me any answer
I still have a lot to say

 

暂停思索
无奈抬头
却见你沉默的温柔
依然深情的望着我

I pause a moment
Lifting my head helplessly
But I see Your quiet gentleness
Gazing at me with eyes deep with love

 

霎那间我发现
原来我已拥有那最好的
你。。。从来没离开常抱怨的我
我。。。
到底做对什么

Suddenly I realize
I already have the best there is
You… have never left the always complaining me
What did I do… right
