Every song tells a story - Pt 1

If you are a modern folk, I'm sure you are more or less hooked to listening to music, be it classical or pop music. And I truly believe that there must be a few particular songs that you like them so much, probably because of the catchy melody or the lyrics.

Of course, I'm just like anyone else, no different from you. Now, let me share with you of a few songs that could represent a certain period of my life.

2001
张学友、陈慧娴 - 接近 - 《茶是故乡浓》主题曲
Jacky Cheung, Priscilla Chan
- Jie Jin (Getting Close) - Theme Song of TVB 'Plain Love II'

The year of 2001 marked a new chapter of my life, as I moved to Subang Jaya from Ipoh, to do my A-Level studies. Well, it was my 1st time staying away from home and had to deal with new thing almost everyday. Fortunately I didn't take too long to adapt to this new environment.

During the 1st month when I was there, the cable was showing the TVB drama - Plain Love II, at night. Watching the drama every night, was one of the few entertainment I could enjoy at that time. The catchy melody of the theme song had no doubt found a place in my memory.

Every time when I listen to this song, all the pictures captured during this period would just flash through my mind.

2002
周传雄（小刚） - 黄昏
Zhou Chuan Xiong (aka Xiao Gang) - Huang Hun (The Dusk)

There were so many that I could talk about the year of 2002. I sat for the A-level exam, then left for UK for my undergraduate. Having stayed in UK for 3 years was definitely one of the highlight of my life and there's always so much thing to talk about.

In that year, it was also my 1st time following the whole FIFA World Cup tourney. Before that, I was never interested in watching soccer matches at all. I think it's because I was so free and so bored after the A-level exam and at that time, almost all the TV program was World Cup related.

During that time, this song was very popular among the Chinese community in Malaysia. It was made popular by one of the contestants from the 2002 Astro Talent Quest - none other than Nicolas Teo, one of the current pop icons. He sang this song during the final which he won the Champion.
