另一枝玫瑰好像確實不一樣
可誰分辨得出來呢

.
世人都說愛情像玫瑰
可不是嗎？
嬌豔的花冠令人著迷
殘酷的莖刺難免傷心
而且當玫瑰凋了 萎了
再揀一支也就得了
.
They all say love is like a rose.
Isn't that so?
The delicate corolla is beguiling,
yet the harsh thorns are distressing.
And when the rose wilts and withers,
we can simply pick another and go on.

How do you “make” a flower grow? After you have carefully planted the seed, how do you “make” it grow? Do you stand over the soil and harshly shout? Grow flower! I said grow! I planted you and you must listen to me! Would you threaten the flower? If you do not grow right now, then no sunshine for you! When the flower doesn’t respond, would you punish it? Would you frustratingly stomp on the soil? Of course not. That wouldn’t make much sense. We know that a flower would not grow under those circumstances. You cannot “make” a flower grow. You simply LET a flower grow, in its own time, by nourishing it patiently and lovingly. You provide the flower with the optimal environment to bloom beautifully, and smile up at the sun with strength. When the flower wilts due to the elements, or for whatever reason, you do not punish the flower for wilting. You give it more water, more sunlight, more LOVE.

Our little ones are like flowers, and just like flowers, they do not need punishment. They need our nourishment. They need our patience. They need our love. Little ones do not need constant CORRECTION in order to bloom. They are not broken machines that require us to alter their parts so that they can function properly in the world. Little ones need constant CONNECTION in order to bloom. They are emotional beings that require our gentle, peaceful, mindful interaction so that when they go out into the world, they will change it for the better...

CINNABAR ROUGE 辰胭

Poisonous addiction, to the maze of time.
辰砂有毒，胭脂是瘾，我们都迷醉在时间嫣红的迷宫里

Cinnabar Rouge, a second self-produced studio album, where Janet pays tribute to a genre that earned her title as Malaysia’s Shanghai Jazz Queen in this 12-track CD. Candidly claimed as a ‘Shanghai Jazz Fantasy Project’, the album carries ten covers and two original compositions by Tay Cher Siang with lyrics by Chiew Ruoh Peng – of three languages in the repertoire: Mandarin, Malay and French. The music director is Tay Cher Siang, jazz pianist, arranger, composer and band leader of WVC - Malaysia Jazz Ensemble. Janet worked with three renowned artistes and producers on vocal production, namely Winnie Ho, Isabell Jia Jia and Xie Songfan.

The music arrangements cover swing, ballad, retro and R&B – showing off Janet’s growing finesse in her musicality and vocals. This exquisitely designed album by Kongsi Design is both a visual and aural feast. The album includes a full color 80-page hardcover photo book that features images shot artfully by concept photographer Shah Azman, and features bilingual poems by poet Chiew Ruoh Peng.

《辰胭》是Janet Lee制作的第二张专辑。她有“大马上海爵士乐皇后”的美誉，戏称专辑是“上海爵士乐的奇幻旅程”，内有12首歌，除了10首华语、马来语、甚至法语老歌翻唱，还有两首由著名音乐人郑泽相作曲、周若鹏填词的原创作品。郑泽相也担任音乐制作，歌唱制作方面还有著名艺人、制作人何芸妮、潘沁珈及谢松汎联手打造。

编曲风格多样，有摇摆乐、民谣、复古及节奏蓝调，充分展现Janet愈趋成熟的歌艺。精致的专辑设计由"一亻一半"团队操刀，无论视觉、听觉都是一大享受。80页的全彩精装摄影集内不只有概念摄影师沙.阿兹曼的作品，还有诗人周若鹏撰写的双语新诗。

====================================================
She, the time traveler.
Songs are her spells, luring you to Old Shanghai, Nanyang and into the unknown future.
Let's wander in search of blossoming love
and wander on before it wilts.
Her stories are in the music, joy and sorrows weaved into the tune
.Be careful not to trip over a sad note, though.
This is her game,
Keep up, stay close.

她是时间旅人，歌是她的魔咒，
把听者牵引到旧上海、南洋，到未知的未来，
不断地穿梭、流浪，寻找一段开花不结果的爱情。
她的故事唱在乐章里，每次音符起伏都在诉说她的忧喜。
你要小心，莫要让迂回的旋律把你绊倒
这是她的游戏，
你可要跟紧了

Lyric:

Silent, silent streets
Without a trace of you
Cold wind, (Oh)cold wind
Voiceless and darkness
Withering, the way we feel and it dies, falls, and wilts
It's spitting, no place for hiding cause’ the city was ruined

*Hey, where are you going
Take me on once again and once again
Wait! here you stay
Take me out once again and once again
Hey, where are we going
Take me on, take me on
Wait! here you stay
Take me out, take me

Take me on, Take me on
Take me out, Take me out
