MERDEKA?

I think it's a lot better to say, "Selamat Hari Kebangsaan" rather than "Selamat Hari Merdeka". Merdeka connotes a freedom, and we're not really free, are we? I still think Malaysia is a great country, and I'm very thankful to be a part of it. But I do not delude myself into thinking that any of us living here are truly free.

I think most of us are still very frightened to speak out against the myriad injustices that occur right before our eyes, every day.

To add, there is a culture of divisiveness amongst the races in this country that nobody wants to address. The worst thing about it all, is that the education system we currently have, fosters it.

In 2021, when advanced societies are denouncing notions like 'superior race' and 'the right (religious) way of life', our political parties inch closer to primitive dogma, and those opposing it can't say anything against it, because it's all cloaked under that big untouchable subject called "religion".

What is wrong with us? Where is our voice? We can't simply acquiesce, just because somebody said, "God mandated it." Over history, God has mandated A LOT of reprehensible acts. Once upon a time, that same God even mandated owning slaves. Atrocities like the Holocaust, the Spanish Inquisition and mistreatment and displacement of the Rohingyas were all committed in the name of God.

People should not be afraid to raise their voices and question the authorities, when their rights are being trampled on. More importantly, they should feel compelled to raise their voices against the authorities, when the rights of others are being trespassed on. It is so crucial for us to speak up for them, because these people, these 'others'... they may not have a voice to stand up for themselves.

When we are free to do that, THAT'S when we can say we have attained freedom. That is when we are merdeka.

So until we achieve that, I will wish you Selamat Hari Kebangsaan instead.💜

I haven’t brought this Royal Albert #OldCountryRoses collection out of the dresser since my brother Adamdidam passed away. But today I’ve decided to bring them out again for the very first time in #TheOldForgeCottage 🏡

Just gotta run out and buy some donuts. Oh how I missed him so much! If only he was still here with us, he would be the one who will go out and came home to surprise the kids with their favourite Krispy Kreme Doughnuts donuts from Selfridges Bullring & Grand Central Birmingham.

And he will set the table beautifully before calling us all to the table to enjoy our teatime together. And that’s exactly how we’re gonna spend our Sunday afternoon today. We will try to recreate those precious moment and we’re gonna have so much fun. And one thing we will never forget to do is…talk about you!

Wish you were here,
Mrs Mom

《Back to One》album track 3 - Walls and Bridges

When the world is disconnected, we can still always find each other somehow. That’s what friends are for. For my best friend @franciswongny

Walls and Bridges
(Music and lyrics: Chet Lam)

You never liked the walls of the classroom
We used to run around outside, the views from the bridges were always more beautiful
We knew the real obstacle in the world is ourselves not being brave enough
I remembered your determination
How you carried the fear and hope for the future

Waiting is always too long
Saying farewell is always too short
before we part, please give me some strength

I sincerely wish
That the world can see the kindness that I see in your eyes
When you fall down you’ll be okay in just a while
The waiting time between love would not get longer and longer
And you have strength to build bridge after bridge to get through the walls

Strange rapport, illogical longing for each other
Unharmful curse words, shameless bragging about ourselves
Who falls out of love again
We let each other be upset out of portion
Who has too much ambition
We tell each other the truths without holding back

I sincerely wish
That the world can see the kindness that I see in your eyes
When you fall down you’ll be okay in just a while
The waiting time between love would not get longer and longer
And you have strength to build bridge after bridge to get through the walls

《思源》專輯第三首：牆與橋

上次在紐約幾天朋友短聚，有人問我新專輯有沒有關於Francis的歌。我說：有一首咁多啦～～ 歌詞描述的細節當然有出入，感覺卻一樣。在世界斷了連接的時候，就靠音樂把我們連在一起吧。

牆與橋
（曲詞：林一峰）

我認識的你 從來不喜歡課室的牆
跟你到處跑 橋上看的風景更漂亮
世上真正的阻力 是自己不夠勇敢
我記得你的堅決 對未來恐懼也嚮往

等待永遠太長 道別永遠太短
東南西北四散之前 請給我一點力量

我衷心希望
世界可以看到我眼中你的善良
跌倒時 過一會你就無恙
距離下一次心跳不會越來越長
有力量 築起橋 翻過每道牆

莫名其妙的默契 不合邏輯的牽掛
無傷大雅的髒話 太不要臉的自誇
誰人又失戀了 就讓誰把傷心放大
誰人滿腹大計 有人會對他說真話

我衷心的希望
世界可以看到我眼中你的善良
跌倒時 過一會你就無恙
距離下一次心跳不會越來越長
有力量 築起橋 翻過每道牆

Lyrics:

I spent way too long on the interstate
在公路上迷失了太久
Put a couple hundred miles on it yesterday
昨天好像跑了幾百英里
Only so many songs that I can sing yeah
陪伴我的只有我會唱的歌曲
By myself
獨自一人

Started daydreamin just to get away
開始做白日夢只是為了逃避現實
But I almost crashed the car so I hit the brakes
在車要被撞壞前勉強踩了刹車
Only so much distance that I can take yeah
我只能到這裡了嗎
By myself
就我一個人
Cause I’m feelin strange it makes my head hurt
百感交集 頭痛難忍
Wish you were here to make it better
倘若你在身邊 這一切不會發生
It’s not the same when you’re away from me
但你早已離我而去

Wishin I could be in the carpool lane
多希望我在車道上行駛
Got you right there sittin next to me
而你坐在我的身邊
We’d be passin everybody
我們風光地超越所有車輛
Goin a hundred and ten down the highway
沿著高速公路走了一百一十公里
Wishin I could be in the carpool lane
多希望我能和你再相見

Feet up on the dash sittin next to me
你像以前一樣把腳靠在儀錶板上
But you’re not here no one to hold me
但昔人已去 再也沒有擁抱我的人
It takes two wish it was me and you in the
多希望現在是你和我兩個人
Carpool lane, yeah
行駛車道上

Carpool lane, oh yeah
一邊飆車
Carpool lane
一邊享受我們的甜蜜
It takes two wish it was me and you
多希望能回到那段美好的時光

I see the sun’s goin down tryna get away
夕陽西下
And I can’t see straight through the pourin rain
大雨傾盆 蒙蔽了我的雙眼
Still, so many things that I need to say
我還有好多想和你說的事情
Need to say need to say yeah
需要說出口

Have I been drivin in the wrong direction
難道我從一開始就走錯了路嗎
I’ve been so caught up think I missed my exit
沉溺其中 無法自拔
It would’ve taken me right to you
此刻我們本該在一起的
Right to you you you
你本該在我身邊的
Cause I’m feelin strange it makes my head hurt
百感交集 頭痛難忍
Wish you were here to make it better
倘若你在身邊 這一切不會發生
It’s not the same when you’re away from me
但你早已離我而去
Oh no no
我好後悔

Wishin I could be in the carpool lane
多希望我在行駛車道上
Got you right there sittin next to me
而你坐在我的身邊
We’d be passin everybody
我們風光地超越所有車輛
Goin a hundred and ten down the highway
沿著高速公路走了一百一十公里
Wishin I could be in the carpool lane
多希望我能和你再相見
Feet up on the dash sittin next to me
你像以前一樣把腳靠在儀錶板上

But you’re not here no one to hold me
但昔人已去 再也沒有擁抱我的人
It takes two wish it was me and you in the
多希望現在是你和我兩人
Carpool lane, yeah
行駛車道上
Carpool lane, oh yeah
一邊飆車
Carpool lane
一邊享受我們的甜蜜
It takes two wish it was me and you
多希望能回到那段美好的時光
(Carpool lane)
好想和你一起

But you’re not here no one to hold me
但一切都結束了
It takes two wish it was me and you in the
多希望現在是你和我兩人 行駛在車道上啊

Lyrics:

I know that it's wrong
我知道事情的走向不對
Thinking I could call you up
本以為我可以給你打電話挽回
You said we were done
你說我們已經結束了
But I'm not good at moving on
但我卻無法開始新的生活

Cause my memory keeps replaying
回憶揮之不去
And my heart just won't stop breaking
我心碎不已
Oh I wish you'd pick up the phone
我多希望你可以再給我一個機會

And tell me that I’m not the only one who's so afraid to be lonely
告訴我不止我一人如此害怕孤獨
Tell me what we had is tearing you apart and baby, you know it
告訴我 憶起我們曾擁有的一切讓你悲痛欲絕
I still miss you
你明知我仍心悅於你
And I need you
你於我而言不可或缺
And I don't know why we let it go
我不懂為何我們就這樣結束
So tell me that I'm not the only one who's so afraid to be lonely
請讓我知曉不止我一人如此害怕孤單

Can you fall asleep?
你能否安然入睡
Are you wishing you were here with me?
你是否仍希望與我一起
Did you really mean
你對我講的一字一句
Everything you said to me
是否認真

Cause my memory keeps replaying
回憶難以忘懷
And my heart just won’t stop breaking
我心如刀割
Oh I wish you'd pick up the phone
我多希望你可以再給我一個機會

And tell me that I'm not the only one who's so afraid to be lonely
告訴我不止我一人如此害怕孤獨
Tell me what we had is tearing you apart and baby, you know it
告訴我 那些曾經也讓你悲痛欲絕
I still miss you
你明知我仍心悅於你
And I need you
我求你不得
And I don't know why we let it go
我疑惑於為何我們就此告別
So tell me that I'm not the only one who’s so afraid to be lonely
請讓我知曉不止我一人如此害怕孤單

Tell me that I'm not the only one who's so afraid to be lonely
請告訴我你亦需要我
Tell me what we had is tearing you apart and baby, you know it
告訴我 回憶起那些美好也讓你肝腸寸斷
I miss you
你明知我忘不了你
And I need you
你於我而言不可或缺
And I don't know why we let it go
我不知為何我們的感情草草收場
So tell me that I’m not the only one who's so afraid to be lonely
所以讓我知曉你也為此感到遺憾

And tell me that I’m not the only one who's so afraid to be lonely
告訴我不止我一人害怕孤單
(Lonely)
孤單
Tell me what we had is tearing you apart and baby, you know it
告訴我 回憶起往事讓你肝腸寸斷
(I can't take this anymore)
這樣的生活我再也無法承受
I still miss you
你明知我對你情有獨鍾
(I still miss you)
想念你
And I need you
我無法忍受沒有你的生活
(And I need you)
需要你
And I don't know why we let it go
我不懂為何我們就此別過
So tell me that I'm not the only one who's so afraid to be lonely
所以請告訴我你亦無法釋懷

Why yes I do like modelling
I originally planned to talk about why I like my job and the positive factors of the industry, but I got a bit sidetracked lol

Asian diaspora is something that's very close to my heart and a topic that my friends and I have constantly discussed between ourselves for years. I think many of us have underlying, unresolved feelings - be it positive or negative - regarding our childhood and parents despite it not being a popular topic in mainstream media.

I hope it doesn't seem like I'm "airing out my (family's) laundry" or so by posting this; I just wish to share with my fellow first gens and Asians that your hardship and feelings are perfectly valid as personally, I felt that a lot of my teenage years were full of undirected anger.

Let me know if there's anything else model or culturally related that you want me to talk about!
