OUR PRAYER - An Original Compostion

I actually wrote the chorus of this song for parents day last May 2014 but just couldn't complete it. I finally got the verse for this song and would like to share it with all of you since mother's day is around the corner

The song is about all of us especially parents with children. We want our kids to have the best education, best in Music, Sports, arts, to be good in anything that they learn. In this modern world, parents do worry how their kids will live their life in the future, whether they will have good values of character when they grow up. As a Christian, we want them to be a great servant of God, to live a life that is pleasing to Him. But we are not perfect too. One thing for sure is that we have hope that our Father will Lead us to lead our children and to teach us to teach out kids. Only He can make our home more complete. I pray that all of us will depend on Him to bring up our kids well and to have a complete home. Make this our prayer for the well being of our kids to shine His light despite the dark world that we are leaving in. Below is the video of the song I wrote and sung.

Lyrics :-

OUR PRAYER


V1
Father, Father, you have commanded us
Our children are in Your mighty hands
The world is getting darker, darker each day
Our vision is fading away

Chorus
This is my hope, This my prayer
Teach me to teach
Lead me to lead
I know I’m not perfect
But when you are near me
You'll make my home complete

V2
Father, Father You have commanded us
Our children need to be strong
Rooted in Christ, though the light is dimmer
So that their vision is clear
Chorus (2x)
God Bless

TVB Drama Outbound Love (單戀雙城) Synopsis and Theme Song

Synopsis

In order to develop new business, LAW SIK-SIK (Aimee Chan), who works for a travel agency, goes to Malaysia to have a meeting with her client. Unexpectedly, her plans are ruined by a local cunning tour guide, LUK KUNG-CHI (Ruco Chan), resulting in a falling-out between the two. All of a sudden, SIK-SIK's boyfriend CHING CHIN-BOK (Mat Yeung) appears to propose marriage to her. The pair start preparing for their wedding ceremony on the heels of their return to Hong Kong. Just when SIK-SIK thinks she is the happiest bride in the world, out of the blue, the intimate video clip showing her fiancé having an affair with her best friend are made public during the wedding ceremony. As such, grief-stricken SIK-SIK once again heads to Malaysia and changes her job to work in a local hotel, where she re-encounters KUNG-CHI. Due to each other's different frame of mind, seemingly aloof yet close subtle feelings have gradually been developed between them. CHIN-BOK's younger sister CHING CHIN-CHUN (Lin Xia Wei) has been taking SIK-SIK's side instead of her own brother’s, supporting her break-up decision. Also through SIK-SIK, she gets to know celebrity chef CHIN TSUN (Tony Hung), becoming his apprentice to learn the cooking skills. After the two have spent some time together, CHIN-CHUN has a crush on her master. However, for all these years, CHIN TSUN cannot get SIK-SIK off his mind. Just when he is about to disclose his love affection towards SIK-SIK, CHIN-BOK starts pursuing SIK-SIK all over again, whereas the one who lays him a helping hand turns out to be KUNG-CHI.

I enjoyed watching this drama. Basically a romance drama filmed at Penang Malaysia. I love Ruco Chan's acting. This is one drama without any bad guys.

TVB Drama Silver Spoon, Sterling Shackles (名媛望族) Synopsis and Theme Song (此時此刻)

Synopsis

The drama follows the lives of a large, rich, and influential Chinese family living in British Hong Kong during the 1920′s and 30′s, a time when eastern and western cultures clashed, and women began to fight for a position in society to change the traditions of a woman always coming second behind a man.

Although wealthy and renowned barrister, Chung Cheuk Man (Damian Lau) studied abroad in England and enjoyed a western lifestyle, deep down he is still a traditional Chinese man. Similar to many upper class during that era, Cheuk Man has many wives and mistresses, a symbol of his status. His first wife Koo Sum Lan (Mary Hon) was born from a wealthy family. His second wife, Aisin Gioro Yee Yin (Idy Chan) is an former princess from the Qing dynasty. His third wife, Yvonne Yik (Elena Kong) came from a rich banker family. Peking opera singer Hong Tsz Kwan (Tavia Yeung) is the fourth wife. The fifth woman in Cheuk Man’s life is Chiu Dan Dan (JJ Jia, who was only interested in living a luxurious and materialistic lifestyle.

Of the five women, Cheuk Man’s most beloved is Tsz Kwan, but she is a very strong advocate in women’s rights, with her opinions always clashing with the traditional Cheuk Man.

The drama also portrayed the differences between the Cheuk Man and his children. Due to the strict lifestyle and teachings of Cheuk Man, his two sons, Chung Kai Sun (Kenneth Ma) and Chung Kai Wah (Vincent Wong 王浩信) had constant arguments with their father, and his daughter, Chung Ho Yee (Sire Ma 馬賽) married a poor policeman against the family’s will.

As arguments between the Chung’s family members intensify, another foe of the family caused further complications. Kam Muk Shui (Ron Ng) has strong feelings for Kwai Siu Yau (Rebecca Zhu), who came from the same orphanage. Angered by losing Siu Yau when she married into the Chung family as Kai Sun’s wife, Muk Shui decided to plot his revenge by involving himself with the members of the Chung’s family.

Theme Song

Another Theme Song requested from my youtube subscriber. A very nice song indeed. The title of the theme song is "At this Moment" ( 此時此刻) sung by Fiona Sit (薛凯琪). Again, another beautiful song. Did the piano cover and the sheet music is in 2 keys G flat major and F major as a more simplified version. The video of the piano cover is below as well as the Piano Sheet and Mp3 for you to download. Do like, Share and Subscribe to my youtube channel for more piano covers to come.

Synopsis

Starring Him Law (羅仲謙), Sammy Sum (沈震軒), Lin Xia Wei (林夏薇), Sisley Choi (蔡思貝), and Michelle Yim (米雪), the TVB youth drama Young Charioteers <衝線> premieres on March 2.

Sharing a love for road bicycle racing, Yau Tat (Him Law) and Ip Fai Ting (Sammy Sum) were close friends in high school. The two lost contact after Ting returned to Taiwan to settle a family matter, but they met again years later at an accounting firm they both work for. Their superior Ning Hei (Rosina Lin) is exceptional at manipulating office politics and comes in between Tat and Ting’s friendship.

Fortunately, Tat has the secretary Wu Sam Lam (Jinny Ng) to confide to, and Tat’s mother Lee Wai Wan (Michelle Yim), also want the two to become a couple. However, Tat is emotionally wary due to family baggage, and he is unable to love Lam in the same way she loves him.

Theme Song
The theme song "Beautiful Time" (美好的時光) sung by Jinny Ng (吴若希) is one of my favorite. I enjoyed the song as well as playing it. The bridge part is also very nice and challenging to play and arrange.

TVB Drama Line Walker (使徒行者) Synopsis and Sub-Theme Song (越難越愛)

The drama follows the lives of undercover police agents that must live a double life in secrecy. Not knowing when they can return to their normal life they endure the constant fear of being uncovered by those they are assigned to infiltrate. But their lives are also put in danger when it is discovered that there is a mole within the police who works for the criminals

Cheuk Hoi (Michael Miu) is a Chief inspector of Hong Kong’s Criminal Intelligence Bureau (CIB) police unit. He is a righteous supervisor that will resort to unethical tactics in order to restore the identities of his undercover subordinates who have gone missing and deemed by the police department to have strayed to the criminal side. When he finds his friend Hong To Hang, a fellow Chief inspector in the CIB unit, thrown off a building under mysterious circumstances, he learns from Hong's dying words that there are moles within the police force working for the triads. In order to protect the lives of his five undercover agents, Hong has deleted their files from the police database, erasing their identities as police officers. Hong charges Hoi with the task of finding each lost undercover agent, but dies before he can tell Hoi any further information. Remembering Hong's warning against trusting anyone in the police force, Hoi keeps Hong's last words hidden from his superiors. Instead, he sets out on his own to find Hong's five undercover agents.

With clues left behind by Hong, Hoi finds undercover agent Ting Siu Ka (Charmaine Sheh) who fronts as an owner of a foot massage parlor, and assumes his role as her new handler. Siu Ka's only assignment under Hong was to gather intelligence but Hoi assigns her the task of helping him find the other four undercover agents. Siu Ka decides to get close to Sit Ka Keung (Raymond Lam), nicknamed Seed who is part of an illegal gambling gang. He fronts as an ice deliveryman but is actually in charge of collecting unpaid gambling debts. Siu Ka previously clashed with Seed and his partner Muk Sut when they went to her shop to collect a gambling debt but becomes friendly with them because she knows of their connection to a major triad organization.

Meanwhile Kobe Lin Ho Kan (Sammy Sum), another undercover agent working for Hong, fronted as a crooked stock broker in order to go to prison and get close to triad boss Chum Foon Hei as the last assignment he received from Hong, but Foon Hei soon proved to be a cunning target. Unable to gain any traction with Foon, Kobe believed he had failed his assignment. However upon Kobe's release from prison, Foon Hei asks Kobe to join his organization. In order for Kobe to follow through with his undercover assignment, Kobe sacrifices his relationship with ICAC officer Mok Sin Yan (Sharon Chan), who is unaware that Kobe is an undercover agent.

I didn't watch this drama. My youtube subscriber requested me to play the sub-theme song of this drama entitled "Love is not easy" (越難越愛) sung by Jinny Ng (吴若希). I search for this song and really like it. The piano cover video of this song is below as well as the Piano Sheet and Song mp3.

TVB Drama Eye In the Sky (天眼) synopsis and Theme Song

Watched this drama which just ended 3 weeks back. Its a crime drama starring Kevin Cheng (鄭嘉頴), Ruco Chan (陳展鵬), and Tavia Yeung (楊怡), aired in Astro on Demand. 

Szeto Shun (Kevin Cheng) was an elite member of the Special Crime Unit in the Hong Kong Police Force. He was forced to leave the force after getting implicated in an arson case. He then worked at a security company, where he meets the intelligent Cheung Lik Hang (Ruco Chan). With their similar ways of thinking and work styles, Shun and Hang become close friends. Their superior, Kong Wui Hoi (Lau Kong). However, Shun encounters private investigator Jenny (Tavia Yeung) which changed his life.

Jan Ng falls in love with Szeto Shun at first sight after seeing him take down a gun crazed criminal during a jewel heist in progress. When a client that looks identical to Shun shows up at her father's investigation firm she automatically assumes him to be Shun without asking his name. Since the client does not want to divulge his true identity he goes along with Jan thinking he is Shun. He hires her to trail a person that leads her entangled with the triads, but saves her in time and the two have a one night stand. Jan later runs into the real Shun and assumes him to be the same person she had spent the night with. When Shun tells her he has "never met her before" she thinks he is a scoundrel who takes advantage of females. Later while investigating another client's case at the Y Suite Hotel she finds out indeed that Shun is not the same person as her client. She promises to help Shun find her client and the two form a mentor-protege relationship.

Didn't quite like Ruco Chan as the bad guy maybe because I watched his previous drama Outbound Love where he was a cheerful honest guy.

The Theme song for this drama is "The Truth" sung by Alfred Hui & Hubert Wu. A very majestic type of song yet appealing. I like this song and did a piano cover of it. Below is my video of the piano cover. Hope you guys enjoy it. Do like, share and subscribe to my youtube channel if you enjoy it. Piano sheet and mp3 link is below.

TVB Smooth Talker(以和為貴) Synopsis and Theme Song

Starring Joe Ma (馬德鐘) and Kate Tsui (徐子珊), Smooth Talker <以和為貴> was aired on March 30 2015. Produced by Lam Chi Wah (林志華), the 20-episode comedy is Joe Ma’s last drama with TVB before the expiration of his per series contract.

Smooth Talker focuses on Hau Tak Sze (Joe Ma), who manages his late father’s fellowship society. However, in his full-time job as a mediator, he often uses extreme measures to solve difficult conflicts for Hong Kong citizens. In a divorce case, he meets Mo Sui Yee (Kate Tsui) and her sociophobic younger sister Mo Sui Ka (Tracy Chu 朱千雪), both who are temporarily living with their older cousin Lam Ah Lui (Elena Kong 江美儀).

Sui Yee soon discovers that her ex-husband’s lover, Fa Yee (Carat Cheung 張名雅) lives in the same building as Ah Lui. Sui Yee assumes Tak Sze and Fa Yee are friends, and causes great trouble for Tak Sze. Through her boss Au Yeung Kai (Johnson Lee 李思捷), who is good friends with Tak Sze, Sui Yee and Tak Sze eventually settle their differences and the two become close friends.

Inspired by Tak Sze, Sui Yee begins to take courses to become a mediator. She finds the job self-fulfilling and learns how to forgive and forget. Just when Tak Sze and Sui Yee’s relationship takes a new turn, Sui Yee’s ex-husband suddenly shows up. The murderer of Tak Sze’s father also makes an appearance.

Theme Song for this drama is "Way Out"; 出口, sung by Justin Lo and Johnson Lee. When I first heard it, I didn't really like it. It's a song sitting on the fence. You either like it or dislike it. However, after listening a few more rounds, it's quite nice especially the Bridge part of the song. I did a piano cover of this song and below is the video of it. Piano sheet and song mp3 is also provided.

Wiz Khalifa See You Again

The minute I heard the song from Wiz Khalifa featuring Charlie Puth, I fell in love with it. I decided to play and share this song. Not only it's a beautiful song, it's a song written in memory of one of my favorite actor Paul Walker. It's in the soundtrack of the movie Furious 7. I've watched all the previous 6 movies but haven't watch the latest. I don't know Paul Walker personally but I've somehow being touch by the video and song. After playing the cover for this song, I discovered there is another version sung by Charlie Puth without Wiz Khalifa. It's very nice. Would like to make another piano cover for this version another day.

Below is the piano cover of Wiz Khalifa ft Charlie Puth "See You Again"
Hope you enjoy it as much as I've enjoyed playing it. Do Like, Share and Subscribe to my youtube channel for more videos, You can also follow me at facebook.

Lyrics:-

"See You Again"
(feat. Charlie Puth)
 It's been a long day without you, my friend
 And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
 We've come a long way from where we began
 Oh, I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
 When I see you again
 Damn, who knew?
 All the planes we flew
 Good things we've been through
 That I'll be standing right here talking to you
 About another path
 I know we loved to hit the road and laugh
 But something told me that it wouldn't last
 Had to switch up
 Look at things different see the bigger picture
 Those were the days
 Hard work forever pays
 Now I see you in a better place
 How could we not talk about family when family's all that we got?
 Everything I went through you were standing there by my side
 And now you gonna be with me for the last ride
 It's been a long day without you, my friend
 And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again (I see you again)
 We've come a long way (yeah, we came a long way) from where we began (you know we started)
 Oh, I'll tell you all about it when I see you again (let me tell you)
 When I see you again
 First you both go out your way
 And the vibe is feeling strong
 And what's small turn to a friendship
 A friendship turn into a bond
 And that bond will never be broken
 And the love will never get lost (and the love will never get lost)
 And when brotherhood come first
 Then the line will never be crossed
 Established it on our own
 When that line had to be drawn
 And that line is what we reach
 So remember me when I'm gone (remember me while I'm gone)
 How could we not talk about family when family's all that we got?
 Everything I went through you were standing there by my side
 And now you gonna be with me for the last ride
 So let the light guide your way, yeah
 Hold every memory as you go
 And every road you take will always lead you home, home
 It's been a long day without you, my friend
 And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
 We've come a long way from where we began
 Oh, I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
 When I see you again
 When I see you again
 When I see you again

Thanks,

Set My Spirit Free

A song I composed on 2nd July 2013 in response to that Sunday's sermon about sin and repentance taken from the book of Jonah and also Psalms 51. At birth we have sin. We have sin against Him and Him only we have sinned. But He sent Jesus that by believing and accepting Him, we can be made whole again. Let us all continue to worship Him in Spirit and in Truth. Do not let anything hinder us from worshipping our Father. Here are all my Original Christian Songs.






God Bless,

TVB Theme Songs

Hi my fellow friends and my youtube subscribers. It's been quite a while since I visited my own blog. Been busy playing piano covers especially TVB drama Theme Songs. You can check those covers here TVB songs. Do like, subscribe and share if you enjoy my playing. I also provide piano sheets for the songs I played and NO, I don't charge.

Now, how do I end up doing TVB theme songs? It started last year when I watched the TVB drama Outbound Love. It was filmed mainly in Penang and KL, Malaysia. The theme song was very nice. My wife, Irene Woo, love this song and asked me to play it and provide the score so that she can play it too. And so, I played and recorded the video, uploaded it to youtube with the score sheet provided on the 16th February 2014. Didn't expect a good response from this video as it hit 27k views and many downloaded the score.

I decided to do more TVB songs but being myself (Procrastinator), I didn't do anything until 16th January 2015, where I pushed myself to do more piano covers and finally uploaded Outbound love sub-theme song . after almost 1 year. Subsequent videos followed. Check it out here TVB drama Theme Songs . I would like to thank my wife who initiated me to do the covers. And for those who subscribed to my youtube channel, a big thank you to all of you and continue to follow me at Facebook Piano Lessons , Twitter , Instagram and Google plus for more videos to come. If I'm not mistaken, my subscribers grew from about 50 to 504 currently in 3 months. I hope to get more subscribers. Ohh yeah, for Jay Chou's fans, I did a cover of his wedding song with piano sheet provided. Check it out here Jay Chou's wedding song . And most importantly, I thank God for giving this gift of music. Check out my original Christian songs here My Christian Songs . So, my request to you is to request more songs from me to keep me going. Below is one of my videos playing TVB Eye in the sky theme song.

DOWNLOAD "EYE IN THE SKY" PIANO SHEET HERE

DOWNLOAD "EYE IN THE SKY" mp3 HERE






It's quite an experience for me doing the covers. It's not easy. Knowing myself as a perfectionist, I have to recorded multiple times of the video until I played one perfect performance without any mistakes. I think my record is playing about 60 to 70 times to play perfectly until I didn't sleep at all. Well, the good thing is I've improved in my playing. Another experience is notating my arrangements. Really a tedious job, but for you my fans, I'm doing it for you. One song needs maybe 8-10 hours to complete the piano sheet. I hope to master the software so that I can do a song instantly. I hope I've inspired all of you to continue learning and practicing piano and Let The Music Play. Don't give up !!!! Practice and practice and practice. I've done it and so can you. :)

TQ

Cheers,
Hou Yean Cha
