One song a day - Just a Little Longer. Chinese translation and song link at the bottom.
•
An original English song I wrote for my tenth album. is an imaginary soundtrack to ‘The Little Prince’, in which I wrote a song for every character in the tale. is from the perspectives of the Fox. I always thought the Fox is a bit of a drama queen. You think you see through everything but you still allow yourself to fall. Talk about self fulfilled prophecy.

•
You speak of love in a language I don’t know
It’s the rhythm of your heart
Like the sirens in the dark
I can do nothing but come close
•
The colour of your hair
Spreads through the fields of gold
I see the light in your eyes
They bear the soul of a child
I feel safe just in your shadow
•
The warmth of your smile
Like the sun sinks in my skin
I throw kisses in the wind
Wanna lead you to my dreams
It’s close enough to love
•
First the sound
Then the vision
After the touch
Finally the heart
Let it last a little longer
Hope it’d last a little longer
Just a little longer…
•
I knew you have to go
I knew I could not follow
But now my heart is full
There’s nothing I can get through
I will close my eyes every time
I feel the wind blow
That’s the way wind blows
That's the way love goes

來自《Back to the Stars》專輯 - 一個為‘小王子’想像的音樂旅程，我為每一個裡面的角色寫了一首主題曲，這首就是屬於狐狸的歌。一向覺得狐狸是drama queen，明白一切，甘心接受命運，卻仍然在怨，讓感性贏了理性。

弦樂四重奏一向是我的至愛，這個編曲也是我自己最喜歡的編曲作品。翻譯這首歌詞原來很難，既然做了，不如錄一個中文版～～

•
你說著愛
用我不懂的語言
是你心跳的律動
像黑暗中的賽蓮*
我只能夠越靠越近
•
你黃金色的髮
在黃昏的麥田展開
我看到你眼中的光
看到一個孩子的靈魂
我在你影子裡得到安心
•
你溫暖的笑聲
像陽光滲入我的髮膚
我把吻拋在風中
要引領你到我的夢
與愛多麼接近
•
先有聲音 然後是畫面
接觸之後 最後動了心
就讓它持續久一點
希望它持續久一點
就那麼一點點
•
我知道你要離開
我知道不能跟著你走
但我的心已經完滿
能渡過一切難關
每一次感到風起時
我會閉上眼
風帶著我走
愛帶著我走

中大公布第二批校園環境檢測結果





香港中文大學（中大） 早前委託獨立認可實驗室於不同時間在校園不同地點，抽取空氣、水質及泥土樣本，並送往化驗。大學已收到了第二批校園環境檢測結果。



因應有大學成員對校園可能殘留CS（鄰-氯代苯亞甲基丙二腈）的疑慮，校方已經進一步安排樣本檢測，預計將於二至三星期後收到結果，並盡快公布。



今日（12月12日）公布的第二批校園環境檢測結果包括13個泥土樣本（#1至#12 、S8）以及兩個水樣本（W9、W10）的化驗結果，摘要及參考水平如下﹕

結論



(1) 泥土樣本



化驗結果顯示12個泥土樣本（#1至#12）的二噁英含量遠低於香港環保署在2007年發出的《按風險釐定的土地污染整治標準的使用指引》中「按風險釐定的土壤污染整治標準（公園）」之數值。這表示二噁英在這些泥土（#1至#12）的含量水平並不顯著，化驗結果與距離2號橋較遠位置的泥土樣本 （S1至S7、S9） 相若 （見表一）。





至於總多氯聯苯的化驗結果，所有泥土樣本 （#1 - #12）都遠低於前述由香港環保署發出的使用指引中（公園）標準之總多氯聯苯含量 (0.756毫克/公斤)。（見表一）



關於泥土樣本 (#1 - #12) 中多環芳香烴的含量，全部均低於參考文件中所規定的水平 （見表一）。 至於多環芳香烴中個別的化合物含量，可於此處瀏覽。



一個含有黑色煙熏物質的泥土樣本 （S8），在夏鼎基運動場裡被火燒焦的墊褥附近採集。測試結果顯示二噁英的含量相比其他泥土樣本為高，但仍相等於使用指引中的參考水平大約十分之一。這個略高的數值可能是由燃燒塑膠或墊褥的塑料部分引起。S8的其他測試參數例如總氰化物、總多氯聯苯和多環芳香烴，它們的含量遠低於在相關參考文件所規定的最低數值（見表二）。



(2) 水樣本



兩個水樣本從賽馬會研究生宿舍（一座）採集。化驗結果顯示兩個水樣本（W9 及 W10）中二噁英含量介乎4.6至4.7皮克/升。根據美國國家環境保護局建議的飲用水標準，其水樣本 （W9 & W10）中二噁英含量並不顯著。其他測試參數例如總氰化物、總多氯聯苯和多環芳香烴，它們的含量遠低於在相關參考文件所規定的最低數值 （見表三）。



從上述結論可見，這些污染物在泥土（#1 至 #12、S8）和水（W9 及W10）樣本的含量對健康的危害不顯著。



至於其他測試結果，大學收到後盡快公布。

CUHK Releases the Second Batch of Test Results on Campus Environment



The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) earlier appointed an independent accredited laboratory to collect air, water and soil samples at various locations and at different times on campus and sent them for testing. The University has just received the second batch of test results.



In addition, in response to the concerns of some University members over the level of CS (2-chlorobenzalmalononitrile) on CUHK campus, the University has arranged to conduct another round of tests. The results will be announced as soon as they are received in 2-3 weeks’ time.



Here is the summary of the second batch of test results including 13 soil samples (#1-#12 & S8) and 2 water samples (W9 & W10) compared with the guidance notes/international standards.

Conclusion



(1) Soil samples



Among the 12 soil samples (#1-#12), the dioxins (I-TEQ) are well below the Risk-Based Remediation Goals (RBRGs) of dioxins in soil (I-TEQ) for public parks as quoted in the Guidance Manual for Use of Risk-Based Remediation Goals for Contaminated Land Management published by Hong Kong Environmental Protection Department (HKEPD) in 2007. This indicates that the dioxins (I-TEQ) levels in these soil samples (#1 - #12) are not significant, and the results are comparable to soil samples (S1-S7 & S9) collected in the more distant locations away from No. 2 Bridge (see table 1).



Based on the test results of Total Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs), all soil samples (#1 - #12) are lower than the respective limits of PCBs level (0.756 mg/kg) for public parks cited in the aforementioned Guidance Manual from HKEPD (see table 1).



Regarding the Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) levels for these soil samples (#1 - #12), all of them are below the level as required by the reference document (see table 1). For the figures of individual PAH compounds, please click here.



A soil sample with black-smoked materials (S8) was collected in the vicinity of the burned mattress in Sir Philip Haddon-Cave Sports Field. The test result of the dioxins (I-TEQ) level is relatively higher than that of other soil samples though it is only about one tenth of the reference level cited in the Guidance Manual. The possible reason for the elevated result may be due to the burning of rubber or plastic components of the mattress. For the other testing parameters such as Total Cyanide, Total Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) for the sample (S8), they are all well lower than their respective limits as required by the related reference documents (see table 2).



(2) Water samples



Two water samples (W9 & W10) had been collected from Jockey Club Postgraduate Hall 1. The test results reveal that the dioxins (I-TEQ) levels for both samples (W9 & W10) are from 4.6 to 4.7 pg/L. In accordance with drinking water standards from United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), the dioxins levels for these water samples (W9 & W10) are not significant. For the other testing parameters such as Total Cyanide, Total Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs), they are all much below their respective limits as required by the related reference documents (see table 3).



In view of the aforementioned interpretation, the health hazards of these contaminants from the soil (#1 - #12 & S8) and water (W9 & W10) samples are negligible.



Other test results will be announced as soon as they are available. Related information may be viewed here.

Germany Stand with Hong Kong

===================

[English Translation of Petition]
Safeguard Hong Kong, No More Suppression on Human Rights!

We are a group of Hongkongers living in Germany. Due to the out-of-hand violence of the Hong Kong Police Force (hereinafter referred to as the "HKPF"), the social movement in Hong Kong has turned into a humanitarian disaster. We call on the Federal Republic of Germany (hereinafter referred to as the “Federal Government”) to provide emergency assistance and we urge the Federal Government to take immediate and practicable action.

Abusive use of weapons and dereliction of duty by HKPF:
1. Protesters and passengers were assaulted by suspected triad groups in metro stations, and police only arrived 40 minutes after reports were made (Yuen Long MTR station on 21 July; similar attacks happened in Tsuen Wan and North Point on 5 August and 11 August respectively)
2. Mishandling a teenage female protester by male police officers, exposing her body parts during the arrest (Tin Shui Wai on 4 Aug)
3. Manipulation and deliberate planting of evidence (eg. putting sharp bamboo stick into protester’s backpacks, unsealing evidence bags that should remain sealed until presented at court)
4. 3 Members of Legislative Council, and more student activists were arrested by the police and 2 organizers of demonstrations were attacked by thugs on 30 August which is the eve of a massive demonstration
5. Police stormed the metro station, beat protesters and passengers in the station and on the train, closed all the exits and then expel all reporters and first-aiders from the metro station (Prince Edward MTR station on 31 Aug)

CALL FOR ACTIONS
In order to protect German expatriates and the interests of German enterprises in Hong Kong, as well as to protect the human rights of EU citizens in Hong Kong, we urge the Federal Government to consider taking the following actions:
1. Halt all export of crowd control equipment and “less-lethal” weaponry to Hong Kong Police Force (HKPF)
2. Express concerns regarding the escalating tension in Hong Kong and safety of German expatriates in Hong Kong
3. Deploy official Human Rights Observer to Hong Kong and to make an independent observation at the frontline
4. Acknowledge that protesters in Hong Kong may be persecuted on political grounds and adjust its asylum policy to Hong Kong asylum seekers
5. Halt any cooperation and exchange programme with the HKPF
6. Forbid entry into the EU / Revoke the right of abode or EU citizenship (if any) / Freeze the assets in EU of senior officers of Hong Kong Government and pro-China legislators and their immediate family members (if any)

HONG KONG,
made up of lovable Hongkongers,
who yearn for freedom, democracy and human rights,
was, is now and ever will be
a FREE PORT which belongs to the world of civilization.
