Piano



This is the first time I record audio with the iPhone. As you can observe, it is very VERY soft. I think I shall have to do it again with another recording device.

This is the most requested song I played during weddings, and I must say, one of my favourites too.

Songs from 70s HK Series

In the beginning, my dad was very against my music lessons. Times were very hard, and music lessons seem an uncalled for luxury. Working 15 to 18 hours a day and seven days a week, the only luxury he allowed himself was an hour in front of the TV, and at that time, HK TV series were very popular. After listening to these songs daily for several months, one day, as I sat on my piano bench, I started to play them. These are the first songs I learned to play entirely by ear. My dad was shocked, but pleased as these are some of his favourite songs. From then on, he no longer complained about my music lessons, in fact, till today, he told everyone that his daughter is the most amazing pianist. ;D



上海滩
亲情
网中人
京华春梦
用爱将心偷
夜上海
天涯歌女
万水千山总是情

Music from my childhood

Isn't it strange that, most of the time, songs bring us back to certain times of our lives, bringing bitter and sweet memories. Unlike most, my childhood was not filled with nursery rhymes and the likes. I grew up at the current shop I am working in today. My parents and I lived in a bedroom behind the shop, and everyday after work, while performing domestic chores, my mum will play these songs. I was told, I learned to sing these songs from very young. My mum said I was quite a performer, ha-ha-ha... Every night, I will stand on a stool, holding something resembling a microphone, and sang to them. Although times were difficult, I have a happy childhood filled with fun and music.



外婆的澎湖湾
珊瑚恋
走在阳光里
爱神
月朦胧
我家在那里
天凉好个秋
雁儿在林肖
夏之旅
飞向你,飞向我
海里来的沙

爱的路上只有我和你

This is the first song that my husband sings to me during our courting days, and I must say, as a very emotional person, when I first heard it, I cried.

遇见

When one is so generous and supportive, I guess it is only fair that a song is dedicated to him. I find this song most meaningful, and for those of you who can read the lyrics, I'm sure you'll agree.

For The First Time

As I sat infront of my grand to play for the first time, this is the first song that comes to mind.

You Decorated My Life

This afternoon, I said goodbye to my U3 which had been with me for exactly 22 years. After so many wonderful years together, I think this a most fitting song I played, for the last time, on my U3.

One Thousand Million Smiles

This song is very special in two occasions. My beloved music teacher, the late Yoshiko Leong, arranged this piece of music on electric keyboard for performance for Perak's Raja Muda, my first performance for the royal family.

This song is also special because it brings back fond memories of my days at Brookes University, Oxford. The Malaysian Society choir, where I was the pianist, performed this song in 1997's Malaysian Night. Yup, fun times, indeed.

菊花台

I am not a fan of violent movies, especially those with swords and blood. But when I heard this song as the movie hubby watched came to an end, I fell in love with it instantly. I quickly grabbed a pencil and notepad and tried to note down the music, as I listened along. The movie is Curse Of The Golden Flower, the song title is JU HUA TAI, which simply translates to Chrysanthamum Bed, by Jay Chou. It is a lovely song.

To Where You Are

In memory of someone dear.

A special someone who had changed my life forever, just by being a friend. Someone who braved life's many trials and tribulations for her loved ones, her friends and for her beliefs. A person who was so filled with strength and endurance, who fought on despite many pains and moments of agony to see her family find their happiness and to see her friends fulfill their dreams. A person so courageous, who had reached a level beyond greatness, even a warrior pales in comparison.

May you rest in peace.
