首先报告一下，恨你脏坚持不退赛，他说：“我绝不向恶势力恶言毁谤低头，我的歌写的好我知道，听众也听得出来。。。”，果然非常有信心，那也表示就只剩下三个选手名字要透露了。

为了再加强评审折腾组没偏袒他，恨你继续说：“折腾偏袒我？才怪！我们因两年前的事件过后已没私底下联络和谈话了！”相信他所指的是两年前筹备献殿典礼的录影和音乐时与折腾的冲突，可见他还对这件事耿耿于怀。唉～ 过去的就让它过去吧，金豹说过去的不要再挖出来讲，我们也不知道是真是假。。。

First we need to announce, Henry Chong is determined not to withdraw, he said,”I will not bow down to slanderous and malicious words against me from destructive parties, I write good songs and I know it, the audience can tell too…”. Very confident indeed! That also means we only have three more finalists to announce.

To emphasize his point that Jaydon Joo would not be biassed to his benefit, Hen continued to say, “Jaydon siding me? What a joke! Since the incident two years ago we have not privately contacted or talked to each other!” We believe he was referring to two years ago when he had a conflict with Jaydon while the two prepared for the Chapel-opening video and music, obviously that incident still bothers him. Sigh~ let bygone be bygone, Leopard says do not dig out the past again, and we do not know how real that is as well…

恨你和折腾关系决裂？？
Breakdown in Henry and Jaydon’s relationship??

好，现在报告。。。
第十三位：猪狸。虽然当晚她的吉他手显然没练好，屡出状况（也不知道是不是故意），但是评审还是听得出是一首好歌，所以吉他手要猪狸掉进陷阱的计划失败。（很抱歉金豹不能透露吉他手是谁，如果那晚你们自己没来，没看见红歌帮忙弹吉他，就不能怪金豹不告诉你）

Ok, now announcing…
The 13th finalist: Julie. Even though that night obviously the guitarist did not practise well and resulted in a few awkward situations (not sure whether it was deliberate), the judges could still tell it was a good song, so the guitarist’s scheme to trap Julie failed. (Sorry Leopard cannot reveal who the guitarist was, if you did not come and see for yourself David Koh playing for her that night, you cannot blame Leopard for not telling)

图示：猪狸和吉他手红歌。

第十四位：阿兵妻，家儿。虽然当晚情到深处唱得极有感触，泪如雨下无法继续顺畅演唱，为公平起见，评审还是回家多听几次而做了决定，所以不是同情分。

The 14th finalist: Alvin’s wife, Karyee. Though she sang with great emotions that night till she broke down and wept and therefore could not finish singing smoothly, to be fair, the judges went back to listen a few times again to make the final decision, so it is not mercy marks.

现在终于报告最后一位了，第十五位！到底是谁在最后在千钧一发的关头闯关呢？
但这个人，金豹一定要怒言几句，人心真的诡诈不能信任！这人本来每逢星期天晚上都会很忠心预备晚餐送来喂养金豹，可是金豹星期天中午戏言说他被淘汰，没进决赛，结果那天晚上金豹也没晚餐吃了，而那人也不再出现在金豹家！
是巧合？是威胁？是报复？金豹就留给你们下判断了。。。

Now finally announcing the final person, the 15th finalist! Who will be the final one to narrowly squeeze into the final?
But this person, Leopard must release a few angry words, human hearts are indeed cunning and cannot be trusted! This person would normally faithfully prepare dinner to feed Leopard every Sunday night but on Sunday afternoon Leopard jokingly teased this person and said he was eliminated from the final, consequently Leopard had no dinner that night and that person never appeared at Leopard’s house again!
Coincidence? Threat? Revenge? Leopard will leave it for you to conclude…

这人是：尾阉！
This person is: Wayne!

精彩连续剧终于播放完毕了吗？
喂！等等等！！！还没完！！！
听说有人会复活！！！

据说刚才折腾发现决赛名单中竟然没有他极度欣赏的一位参赛者，所以经过一番折腾性的争辩后，主办单位害怕折腾杯葛赛事，所以决定让其中一位原本落选者复活！
那到底是谁呢？难道真的是“我们唱的很大声的”饥民？难道饥民真的是内定冠军？难道饥民现在没在决赛名单内只是烟雾弹？

So finally this is the end of our exciting series?
Hey! Wait! Wait! Wait! It is not over yet!!!
We heard that someone might resurrect!!!

Sources say just now when Jaydon discovered a contestant he highly adores is not in the finalists list, he struck up a fierce argument with the organizer,  and for fear that Jaydon might boycott the competition, the organizer conceded defeat by resurrecting one contestant who initially failed to enter the final!
And who is this fellow? Is it Kee Meng of “We Sing Loud”? Is it really true that after all Kee Meng is the pre-decided champion? Is Kee Meng’s exclusion from the finalists list now just a covering from the truth?

若不是饥民，难道是兄弟瘦民或瘦人？
If not Kee Meng, could it be brothers, Andy or Andrew?

或者是摇滚味很浓，但名字很娘的蕾丝女？？
Or the very rock Leslie who sports a pony tail??

或者另有他人？？
这复活消息真是让绝望的人又惊又喜，然后再度陷入绝望。。。
请锁定金豹惊爆新闻，答案比快揭晓！

Or there is someone else??
This resurrection news really makes the hopeless ones feel all excited and hopeful again, just to fall back into hopelessness again…
Please log into Leopard’s more shocking news, the answer will be revealed soon!

但真的是最后一位吗？金豹收到消息说，原本已定

May 19, 2014

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…

上图：原著：张秀月（妈妈不要听她的版本），下图：代唱歌手：玉环
Top: Song-writer, Dorcas SG (mother didn’t want to listen to her version); bottom: Christine, representing singer.

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…

图示：为你和史提非，新版朱丽叶和罗密欧
Picture shows: WeiNi and Steve, new version Juliet and Romeo

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…

September 30, 2011

早期对圣经诗篇毫无兴趣和没有感觉，灵命还没成长到能体会诗篇的含意的阶段吧？
一直到1994年，神学院第二年，才开始被诗篇吸引和感动，那时就开始创作好多诗篇，甚至一天都有高达三、四首创作的记录！
也非常感谢神让我能够一字不加与一字不漏的照圣经经文写成歌，也因而帮我熟记了好一些经文。。。

很多人喜欢问我，创作了那么多歌和发行了16张专辑，哪些诗歌或唱片是我的最爱？我常不加以思索的就说：诗篇！
最大原因是诗篇都是神的话，没有丝毫我个人的意思或话语参杂其中，所以我觉得最特别。。。
而且很多首，我自己也很”厚脸皮“的觉得旋律也挺优美的，哈哈！

在这里跟你们介绍两首不同年代写的诗篇，一是1994年的“雀鸟”，和今年2011才写的“何等可爱”。
其实“何等可爱”1994也已经写完一个版本，可是始终都不满意，一直到今年从新写过才认为“感觉对了”！在教会教唱的时候，看到大家被摸着的反应，我知道时间到了！

In the earlier days, I was never interested or I never had any feeling for the Psalms in the Bible. Guess it is because my spiritual life had not grown to that level then?
Until the year 1994 when I was doing my second year Bible School, was I attracted and touched by Psalms. At that time I began to compose many songs from Psalms, sometimes even 3 to 4 songs a day!
I am also very grateful to God that I could write those verses into songs without adding or subtracting one word from the verses, and hence that helped me memorize many verses as well…

Many people like to ask, of all the many songs I have written or the 16 albums I have released, which song(s)or album(s) are my favourites? Without hesitation, I would always reply: Psalms!
The biggest reason is Psalms are all the words of God, not a single bit of my own thought or word inside, that is why I feel they are very special…
And also many of them, being rather “thick-skinned”, I feel that the melodies are quite nice too, haha!

Here I am going to share with you two songs written over different period of time, one was written in 1994 “Like a Bird”, and one written this year 2011 “How Lovely”.
In fact I wrote a version of “how Lovely” too in 1994 but was never satisfied with it, until this year when I re-wrote it, only then I felt it had the “correct feel”!
And when I taught it in church, looking at the congregation’s response and how they were touched, I knew the timing had come!
