Ever listen to songs that make you feel a certain way? I'm not talking about those happy songs that will put a smile on everyone's faces, but the kind of songs that somehow seem to mean something to you in a very special way.
I've been listening to this particular chinese song by Candy Lo and I'm totally addicted to it. Downloaded it from the net and I've been playing it on my pc since last night on repeat. I even went to bed with it turned on. There are 2 versions. One in chinese and another in Cantonese (sung together with Wang Li Hong). I can't tell what they're singing about but the tune is just so sad. Makes me want to cry like I'm watching a tear-jerking movie.
Cantonese songs have a way of transporting me to a totally different realm altogether. They make me want to visit Hong Kong. They make me want to go to Redang Island (cos Malaysians speak Canto and sing Canto-pop Karaoke). They make me feel like dropping everything I have in this career to try something totally different. Oh my goodness...the power of music.
I've also been playing the theme song of Infernal Affairs (by Andy Lau and Tony Leung) non-stop on my pc. Been sitting here trying to catch the parts where Tony sings. Suddenly the teeny-bopper star-crazed girl in me sprang out and I started doing an internet search for Tony's fan-webby. I scrolled through photos of him and just thought "wow...cute". I've been Tony's fan since my secondary school days, when I was an ardent follower of of the "Heavenly Sword and Dragon Sabre" TVB series. I have not been doing any "fan-inspired" stuff for years. I used to collect his posters and articles on him whenever they appeared in the chinese version of 8-days back in the late 80's. So searching the internet for his pictures just for the sake of ogling felt a little odd and out-of-place 'cos....wtf, I'm 30 this year man!! *silly grin*
ARgh!! Listening to "Infernal Affairs" song now....I want to go to Hongkong!!
(It's 10min to 12midnight now. I have not done any of the marking that I brought home tonight.)
