Music 让我更精彩!

It seems that I've been bitten (badly) by the music bug in the past few weeks, thus the entry title. I've been singing along with most of the tracks playing on my PC, ranging from pop songs to soft rock, from English chart toppers to the new releases of Mandopop. Without doubt, I'm addicited to music.

Tracks from 石康军 Jones' debut album '火光 FireLight' are my favourite picks currently. I'm supporting my (CCHMS) senior.

Here's a little something to express how I feel (at this moment):
我承认我已为音乐上隐了。我必须服用解药! 但我能确定我对音乐的热爱与热情是永远变不了、永不会变质的。漂浮在音乐中的我仿佛能穿越时, 穿梭到陌生的年代, 有如在爱中飞行似的。 我相信我能将在音乐道路上找到属于我的火光黑夜过后, 我就能看清那道曙光!

假如你认为这世界是冷酷无情的, 而你的心在低温中一天一点的冷冻, 甚至使你麻痹, 请你抬起头, 俯视这世界。你就会发现这充满音乐的世界是那么美丽的! It's such a Beautiful World with music around!

PS: 别在我背后冷嘲热讽, 因为我还没疯!

Whenever I'm feeling low, Jones' 'Beautiful World' will naturally come to my mind. It shows an optimistic side of life, and makes me think positive! You should try it too, after listening the song of course! It really helps, trust me.

CCHMS Youth Day Celebrations cum Breaking the World Record of the Longest Chain of Cans!

It started like any other day, with the usual flag raising ceremony. But hey, today's different! It truly was. The day finally arrived. It's the day that CCHMS sets a whole new world record!

In celebration of the school's 66th Anniversary, CCHMS chained the World's Longest Chain of Cans, breaking the previous record set by Aurora Private School! Two students from each class were selected to participate in the chaining of cans. I played my part in this mega project too, not as a representative who supposed to do the chaining, but as an individual who contributed 80 aluminium cans.

The chaining of the cans started at around 0800 and lasted for approximately 3 h 40 min.The masterpiece was astounding. The cans totalled up to a number of 45,358! Way to go, Chung Cheng!

Here is a picture of the masterpiece:

Thereafter, a new local ballad-rock singer, Jones 石康军 was invited to perform for our Youth Day celebrations. Jones is an ex-CCHMS student, which makes him my CCHMS senior! How cool is that?

Before his performance, Jones was interviewed by Friday Weekly about his visit to his alma mater. Here a link to the extract of the article Jones was featured in: Friday Weekly Issue 705. I managed to get a glimpse of him from my classroom window at around 1110. He was in the basketball court.

During assembly, he performed 3 songs, which are namely 爱中飞行 (Ai4 Zhong1 Fei1 Xing2), 火光 (Huo3 Guang1), and 黑夜过后 (Hei1 Ye4 Guo4 Hou4),from his debut album,'火光 FireLight'. He shared interesting stories of his secondary school years and some 'cold jokes' with us.

After school dismissal, I got myself a copy of Jones' debut album. It comes with 2 complimentary entry passes to his music gig at DXO on 8th July, which is exactly 1 week from today! I'm attending it for sure!

Jones will be promoting his album in China soon. He'll be away for 4 months! Hereby, I wish him all the best in his music career and whatever he undertakes. Jones 学长, kambateh!
