Sunday afternoon with my dad

My mom is still in Dubai. She will be back tomorrow. I visited my dad this afternoon.



It's rather difficult to find common topics to talk with him. He’s not interested in what’s going on.



Yesterday, I took out our photo albums, we talked about my childhood.



Today, no more photo albums.I have to find sth new.......



Since the computer is on, I clicked to YouTube and asked him what old stuff he wanted to watch. He said he wanted to watch “周璇”.



I taught him how to use the mouse, it took some time. His right hand was not well after he got a stroke. But when I was small, he also spent long time teaching us to use spoon & chopsticks......



He liked this one:







<天涯歌女>

曲：賀綠汀

詞：田漢



天涯呀海角　覓呀覓知音

小妹妹唱歌郎奏琴

郎呀咱們倆是一條心

哎呀　哎呀　郎呀咱們倆是一條心



家山呀北望　淚呀淚沾襟

小妹妹想郎直到今

郎呀患難之交恩愛深

哎呀　哎呀　郎呀患難之交恩愛深



人生呀誰不　惜呀惜青春

小妹妹似線郎似針

郎呀穿在一起不離分

哎呀　哎呀　郎呀穿在一起不離分

When the song is about to finish, I think I cried. I went to washroom. After I came back, my dad was crying. He said it reminded him the harsh life he had been thru while he was in China. (?!) I can’t see any obvious link between this song and the harsh life. It’s more a love song to me, not “半斤八兩”...........perhaps, he missed his little gal friend, but he didn’t want to tell. Perhaps, he's telling the truth, just i dont understand it.



Then we watched this one:







<花樣的年華>

作曲: 林枚

編曲監製填詞: 范煙橋



花樣的年華，月樣的精神，冰雪樣的聰明。

美麗的生活，多情的眷屬，圓滿的家庭。

驀地裏這孤島籠罩著慘霧愁雲，慘霧愁雲。



啊，可愛的中國，幾時我能夠投進你的懷抱，

能見那霧消雲散，重見你放出光明。



花樣的年華，月樣的精神。

I think this one is funny, although my dad does not like her much:







<假正經>

作詞：葉逸芳

作曲：黎錦光

編曲：張政傑



假惺惺 假惺惺 做人何必假惺惺

你想看 你要看 你就仔細的看看清

不要那麼樣的裝著 不要那麼樣的裝著

一本正經 一本正經 何必呢 假正經

假正經 你的眼睛早已經 溜過來又溜過去

在偷偷的看個不停

難為情 難為情 什麼叫做難為情 想愛我

要愛我 你就痛快的表明 不要那麼樣的扮起

不要那麼樣的扮起 面孔鐵青 嚇壞了人何必呢

紅著臉 跳著心 你的靈魂早已經 飄過來又飄過去

在飄飄的飄個不停

I live in the present most of the time. But sometimes, I think I belong to the past. It doesn’t mean I only live in my past, I like things in the past even I was still very young. Anyway, this is another topic.
