well, i know u have heard this song and its quite 'old' already!

but, today, when i chanced upon it on youtube again, i had a sudden thought.

As we all know, this song is a cover of the hokkien oldie, and many of us youngsters wouldnt know of this song if Wu Jia Hui didnt sing this song.

i feel that this song is a signal to many youngsters these days, to appreciate the music that our parents or elderly once listened when they we young.

many a times we find the hokkien oldies boring, but did we realli try to enjoy it?

this song let me think that, by trying to understand the music that our parents listen to, we are also trying to understand how our parents think and feel.

age gap or generation gap does exist, but i feel that music gap doesnt exist.

my mom was an avid music lover, and she listens to english oldies, chinese oldies, hokkien oldies as well as modern pop music.

she introduce me to many of her favorite oldies, while i introduce her the best chinese pop music.

now, i love english oldies more than pop. haha

and i feel that i understand my mom more haha

this song by Wu Jia Hui is very nice, attracts many young listeners, i believe Jia Hui will be successful.

all the best WJH! lolx
