“Does he look like JJ the clown?”
My family and friends back in Singapore sent me an article recently. The article questioned my new image and suggested it being “a colorful riot of clashing plaid patterns” and looking “more like a clown than an artiste”.If it had been an article from elsewhere, I would not have been that hurt and disappointed. But it came from my homeland…“To be or not to be, that is the question…” (Hamlet - William Shakespeare)I remember the bold steps I’ve taken in the past, steps I took to express my art and music. One of the important lessons I’ve learnt over the years – Whenever an artist tries for a change, he should be ready to face a bombardment of controversial comments from all over. If he decides to stay put, again he might be criticized for being insincere and uncreative. We are never satisfied.Fashion, like music, is an intricate form of art. No one is ever right or wrong. I guess depending on where you were born in and raised, your sense for art and appreciation differs accordingly.As a Singaporean myself, I have noticed over the years that somehow, we are “trained” to act by the book. When something unconventional comes along, we are so careful that we usually take too much time access the situation. I believe if my stylists had approached me with this daring checkered concept 5 years ago during my 1st album, I would not have been able to accept it then either.However, I am also an artist who always challenges conventional methods of creating art. If I had followed what the “gurus” have taught us about music, there wouldn’t have been the “clashing” of Chinese elements with RnB beats in River South, nor the bossa nova / hip hop rhythm of The Choice Is Yours. If I had gone by the book and “toned down” on my art, I probably would not have gotten thus far in my music career.I also definitely did not feel like a “clown” wearing the clothing I wore.Instead, I was quite impressed at how my stylists were able to blend the clashing plaid patterns together, creating something very refreshing and warm. I feel it suits the vibrancy and color this album requires.Anyway, there’s always something to say when somebody tries to be different, when conformity and ritual beliefs are being challenged and stretched. But not matter what, there will also always be a group of people open minded and sensitive enough to embrace and appreciate.I hope you are one of them.

They actually learned the song backwards so that it would work when they were filming it.
Nice one.

《你不是真正的快乐》-五月天

《你不是真正的快乐》
作词：五月天作曲：五月天

人群中哭著你只想变成透明的颜色
你再也不会梦或痛或心动了
你已经决定了你已经决定了

你静静忍著紧紧把昨天在拳心握著
而回忆越是甜就是越伤人了
越是在手心留下密密麻麻深深浅浅的刀割

你不是真正的快乐你的笑只是你穿的保护色
你决定不恨了也决定不爱了
把你的灵魂关在永远锁上的躯壳

这世界笑了於是你合群的一起笑了
当生存是规则不是你的选择
於是你含著眼泪飘飘荡荡跌跌撞撞的走著

你不是真正的快乐你的笑只是你穿的保护色
你决定不恨了也决定不爱了
把你的灵魂关在永远锁上的躯壳

你不是真正的快乐你的伤从不肯完全的愈合
我站在你左侧却像隔著银河
难道就真的抱著遗憾一直到老了然后才后悔著

你不是真正的快乐你的笑只是你穿的保护色
你决定不恨了也决定不爱了
把你的灵魂关在永远锁上的躯壳

你不是真正的快乐你的伤从不肯完全的愈合
我站在你左侧却像隔著银河
难道就真的抱著遗憾一直到老了

你值得真正的快乐你应该脱下你穿的保护色
为什麼失去了还要被惩罚呢
能不能就让悲伤全部结束在此刻重新开始活著

就像歌词里所说的，你真的快乐吗？
还是你像其中一句所说的一样，当“这世界笑了于是你合群的一起笑”了？

说真的，有时候我会因为场面的需要而笑。如果你不一起笑的话，就是不合群，就是不正常。但当你却不自主地笑了，而没有人笑，他们会认为你是怪人，你并不属于他们的世界。

有时候的笑是希望能“与民同乐”；有时候是必须跟着场面的需要而笑；有时候是为了让身旁的人快乐而笑；有时候是为了掩盖自己的不快乐而笑；有时候是已经习惯性的笑而无缘无故的笑了。可是，几时才是为了自己而笑呢？
我快乐吗？

别人会说你应该快乐。因为你生长在一个繁荣的时代，出身在一个富裕的国家，生活在一个和谐的社会，成长在一个温暖的家庭，物质上的享受也比世界上许许多多的穷人好上几千几万遍。我同意。如果我的出身比较卑微、坎坷，我会埋怨老天为什么我不是出身在富强的国家比如说新加坡呢？对吧？

我还真无聊，这个时候还有时间想这些东西。
（还不快去读书？！）
