Dearest Ashley,

You have such sharp eyes. You spotted that Dream School girl in last night's Channel 8 show. We were surprised that she could speak such good Mandarin. She is a bilingual star! Speaking Mandarin is cool!

In fact, Mandarin is a beautiful language. We tuned in to FM 933 this morning and you not only listen to the soothing melody but the wonderful lyrics like 住在我心里 means you are always on my mind and 我有一个属于自己的天空 means I have a sky of my own (haven).

If you listen to the 梦高飞 lyrics, you will realise how poetic is JiuJian laoshi's lyrics: 小小的屋顶，巨大的梦想。所有的汗水，流成勇敢的河川 means A small roof, a huge dream. All the sweat, flow into a courageous river. The next time you when you start singing JiuJian Laoshi's old or new songs, please pay attention to the meaning lyrics. Once you know the meaning, you will love the song even more and sing at a different level ok?

Interestingly, Mum chanced upon JJ's Haven Album. He is amazingly bilingual. Will let you listen to his CD this evening. Meanwhile, here's some of his compositions:

Endless road (words & music by JJ)
The truth is tearing up my heart_I can't recognise this place_the endless road without a stop sign_can't even find a stranger this time
Why am I holding back my tears_in this lonliness
There's nothing to fear_every chord still seems a wonder....


我有一个属于自己的天空 (words & music by JJ)
安全的空间，自由的空间
大多时候心情很平静
但有些时候会充满着各种情绪....

Safe space, free space
Mood was calm most of the time
However, sometimes filled with a variety of emotions....

Can't wait to listen to JJ's CD with you when you're back from school!

Cheers!
Bilingual Mummy
