Just got in touched with one of my Elementary/Jr. High school classmate on Facebook recently, and found out that one of our friend passed away 8 years ago. This is really shocking news to me. She was one of "first friend" that I made when I came over to the state. We lost contact since high school because I moved to another town. The time that we have spent together will always be in my memory.
Hope she is doing well in another world and my "belated" condolence to the family.

天妒英才
我一直都很欣賞一個網路歌手。如果你有留意網路原創歌曲,你一定會聽過她的聲音。聽過她的聲音的人都一定會問"為什麼她還沒出唱片?"
已有一年多沒看見她的新作了。當初還以為她工作繁忙,沒有時間錄音。今天去了她的留言版看看她的近況時,才發現她在2005年尾離開了。
我在2002年3月時開始聽她的音樂。記得第一次聽她翻唱別人的歌時已愛上了她的聲音。我還問自己要怎麼樣才可以像她那樣。於是,我不停地聽她的歌,跟她一起唱。我有一半"唱功"就是這麼練回來的。 還有,在她的網站內讓我學懂了什麼是professional equipment. 我有的mic都是她介紹的。
最令我印象深刻的翻唱歌,我相信非容祖兒的Mad About You莫屬。就是因為聽了她的翻唱,才今我愛上這一首歌。 我還不停地苦練,希望可以唱得有她1/1000那麼好。 當然,我天資差,練來練去都不及她的1/10000(聽過我唱這一首歌的朋友應該知我沒說謊吧)。
最令我開心的莫過於於在商台的節目中聽到薛凱琪的有隻雀仔。大家不要誤會我喜歡薛凱琪。只是這首歌是一位網路朋友創作的。而網上的版本 - 有隻雀仔跌落水就是找她來唱。還記得第一次聽有隻雀仔跌落水時已經很喜愛首歌,只是歌詞填的不太好。聽完薛凱琪的版本後,還是覺得她唱得比較有味道。我還很期待她翻唱一次薛凱琪的版本呢。後來在她的網站得知寄去唱片公司的demo是由她來唱的。那時我就想她很快會給唱片公司發掘了。
好景不常,還沒給別人認識就這樣離開了我們。留下的只有她的美好聲音。就讓我們懷念
她所遺下的作品吧。

In Memory of ...
My childhood buddy just informed me that her dad past away early this month. Her dad has been sick for awhile, but he was able to recover in the past. I'm glad that I was able to meet with him last time when I was in Toronto.
In Memory of Mr. Li.
