Faux Pas · Hokkien

(I actually posted this in Facebook and it got 100+ likes in a short time. So, I told myself since it's such a success in making others laugh why not post it here. Who knows it might 'benefit' others or put a smile on my face when I scroll back to reminisce. To Penang youngsters or if you're just a beginner in learning Hokkien, you might wanna learn from my lesson.)

As you know, almost all Penang Chinese speak Hokkien. Being a Penangite, my Hokkien was fairly good enough to survive. Well, ever since studying in KL, my Cantonese improved but my Hokkien has gone all the way down the drain. Nowadays, my mom ordered food for me to refrain me from making any more faux pas. What happened? If you understand Hokkien, you might have a good laugh. *sigh*

Incident - Buying newspaper (Just now)

Me : Kong Beng.(name of the newspaper)
The guy handed me lottery paper
Me : mai zua.(don't want the paper)
(The guy sniggered but put away the paper, I walked away acting ignorant)

When I got back to car, I re-demo the scene and my parents had a good laugh. Zua(paper) and zua(arrogant) differ only in pitch. Zua(arrogant) is higher, guess I accidentally ended with a high pitch but usually people don't say "mai zua" so......okay. =_=)

This triggered my memory of Form 2 when I helped mom to order chicken rice with extra white rice. My Hokkien was really bad back then so I slurred the words and spoke in high speed in attempt to get it over with, thinking the adults should understand me anyways.

Me : Uncle, no bao KE pui, ji leh ai KE pui.
(Uncle, two packets of chicken rice, one with extra rice)
Uncle : Lu ai KEI pui, ai si KEH pui?
(You want chicken rice or extra rice?)
Me : Uhhh....cincai la.
(Uhh...anything.)
Uncle : *chuckle* Lu ai bek pui hior?
(You want white rice?)
Me : *blushed* Ah, tiok, bek pui.
(Ah, yes, white rice.)

My mom was laughing tears. If you're in a bad mood somehow, hope this makes you less gloomy. (=v=) One of the things in my holiday to-do list : Brush up your Hokkien!

即将の忆?


老洪,你好。

其实我很想知道,
这些时候...你都快乐吗?
真的真的快乐吗?
可以独立的快乐?

如果有一天,
这里的快乐结束了,
你可以在那里弥补回快乐吗?

快乐什么时候会结束呢?
任何一刻,都有可能是最后一刻。
那...哪一刻,又是最后一刻?

因为不知道,所以我更要把握每一刻的快乐。
能在黑暗中找到光芒的人,才叫厉害!
加油!=)

那些年,你们不知道的周杰伦的事

哈哈,将九把刀的《那些年》和王力宏的《你不知道的事》结合起来,感觉蛮不错的。

周杰伦的歌,你都知道吗?
他所写的每一首,你都听过吗?

从未当艺人写歌给咻比嘟哗起,
到成名后不只为每一年出一张专辑,
还继续帮其它艺人写歌。

要po上来...有心无力。==
整个list酱长!

他写的歌,太多太多。
在未成名时就已写上42首歌曲,
收录在不同的专辑里。

嗯,我只分享一些较好听的吧 =)




《命中注定》

2001年,收录在杨丞琳刚出道的团体《4 in love - 谁怕谁》专辑里。





《你怎么连话都说不清楚》

2001年,周杰伦首次写给蔡依林的歌。
收录在《Lucky Number》专辑里。





《眼泪知道》

2001年,温岚《有点野》专辑。
拍子一打下去就好有feel,温岚是有实力的。





《世界末日》

相信是再熟悉不过,
当初写给咻比嘟哗风靡一时后,自己再唱红。




《热带雨林》

应该都听过吧,喜欢SHE的歌迷朋友都不用说。
听了心情很好的感觉。 =)


*好了,不要停留在2001年,我们前进!*



《布拉格广场》

2003年,周杰伦和蔡依林合唱他写的歌曲,
收录在《蔡依林 - 看我72变》专辑。






《晴天娃娃》

继《不能说的秘密》后,周杰伦写给江语晨的歌。
曲风很好,vocal就差强人意。
没关系,人都有第一次,在加油就好。





《幸福微甜》

写给Super Junior-M的歌,很sweet的感觉,好好听!



目前最新的是周杰伦写给Selina复出后的《梦》



Selina第二波主打歌「夢」邀請周杰倫譜曲,而這也是Selina繼2008年S.H.E《我的電台 FM S.H.E》專輯中的「安靜了」二度和周杰倫合作。



Fast forward 到2013年,周杰伦跑透了世界巡回演唱之余,写了一首歌给方文山微电影《幸福透着光》




由魏如呁演唱的《听见下雨的声音》
