*waves to my new friend thelovelight *
I love you already because you wrote one of my fave crack-SJM one-shot. :D

At the end of 1999, a 11 year old girl discovered a black bulky box that was obviously older than her in her storeroom and magically, it was still working and out came music from the box! She was very amazed at the box and it soon became her most precious possession. She enjoyed the songs, the weekly charts and she even wanted to be one of the voices that talked non-stopped, those voices that were soothing as she slept or those who caused her to roar with laughter. 10 years later, the girl turned 21 and she listened to online radio more than the actual old-fashioned radio (that black bulky radio, by the way, has unfortunately retired :[ ); her major in university wanted her to read more than listen but she couldn't stop listening and stop remembering. Because those songs were part of her life journey.
I just feel like doing a lists of songs that I remembered loving in the past 10 years.
(Songs are in chronological order)
I linked the songs to YT videos so that you guys can listen to them too.


1. 一起走過的日子-Andy Lau
只想一生跟你走-Jacky Cheung
夏日倾情-Leon Lai
狂野之城-Aaron Kwok
Yeah, I know they are like the 90s but hey, I grew up with their songs induced by my mum and heck no one should forget the 4 Heavenly Kings.

2. I Want It That Way-Backstreet Boys
During one of my school concerts, the whole hall started singing to this song. It was like the Song of the Year.

3. (You Drive Me) Crazy-Britney Spears
YEAH, I WAS ONCE A BRITNEY SPEARS FANATIC. I still love "Sometimes".

4. I Knew I Loved You-Savage Garden
I don't know about you but I really feel this was THE song of the late 90s/early 2000.

5. Music of My Heart-N'sync & Gloria Esterfan
Not much people know about this song, much less watch the movie. I love the movie, it made me cried so much in the cinema because it was so inspiring. Henry should have watch the movie before? It was about violins!

6. If I Let You Go-Westlife
Westlife was the only band that me and my brothers love together. It all started when I was forced to bring my brother along to one of their soccer match that was opened to the fans (I queued hours for it!). Even after I fell out of the fandom, they still played the CD night and day, driving me nuts. Don't tell anyone but "Loneliness Knows Me by Name" is my brother's theme song of his love life.

7. S Club Party-S Club 7
Oh shucks, I actually miss them a lot. :( Everyday I come home from school, waiting to watch the latest episodes from their series. They were really so different from the other bands out there and they had so many hit songs.

8. Best in Me-Blue
My class performed this song for our form teacher even though she was really strict and called us "cow brains" because she really brought out the best in us. (Blue, another band that I loved so much.)

9. 真命天子-Sammi Cheng
I don't particularly love this song but it's the themesong of the show that sparked off my love for Louis Koo, Jessica Hsuen, Sammi Cheng and the Louis-Jessica pairing.

10. Big Big Girl-Emilia
I think dapooh will know why this song is in this list. XD

11. 祝君好-Julian Cheung
You may forget the drama but how can you really forget this song? It's just so beautifully heart-rendering.

12. Shout to the Lord-Hillsongs
The first time I went to Festival of Praise with my friends and experience what it's like to worship God with thousands of people at the same time. This song remains one of my fave worship songs.

12. 特別嘉賓-Joey Yung
我的驕傲 may be her breakthrough song but it was 特別嘉賓 that made me notice her. And I'm so glad I did cause she is my absolute favorite singer FOREVER.

13.爱后余生-Nicholas Tse
My mom always teases me on my schoolgirl crush on Nicholas Tse. He was hot then, okay? Don't judge me. And he's a sweet bad boy, if you get what I mean.

14. 下一站天后-Charlene Choi
This song is memorable for reasons unknown to me. And I love the lyrics.

15. 友谊小姐-Miriam Yeung
Oh gosh, I always tear up when I listen to this song because it really speaks out what I constantly feel. I'm always the friendly, cheery and smiley girl standing next to the beautiful, elegant one and it used to hurt when I get overshadowed but I learn to not mind and accept myself now. :)

16. 遇見-Stephanie Sun
Beautiful song is beautiful. It also reminds me of the time I tagged along with my best friend and her boyfriend to watch the movie. To make things even more embarrassing, he had to pay for me cause I didn't bring enough money.

17. Always-United Hillsongs / All for Love-United Hillsongs
My first year in junior college was really the time when I learned how to worship in spirit and in truth. It's something that I regretted losing along the years.

18. You and Me-Lifehouse / Broken-Lifehouse
There is something in the songs of Lifehouse that tugs at my heartstrings every time and "Broken" is a song that just breaks my heart, lying bare for God's healing to come.

19.Green Eyed Monster-Corrinne May
I always always always struggle with envy and jealousy. 2006-2007 was a kinda difficult time for me as my friends moved on to other friendships and I felt so left out and depressed and just plain jealous/bitter at their new friends that seemed to have taken my place in their lives. It got so bad that one of my close guy friends had to resort to emailing me in order to restore our friendship. The whole thing is just so messy but God sent me this song to really teach me something. Jealousy and envy is still something that I struggle hard with but at least I'm not alone in this.

20. 勁歌金曲-Leo Ku

It contains all the popular Mandarin and Cantonese classics/popular songs. So what if it's 10 mins long?

21. 善忘-Pong Nan

Just when I cling too much to my memories and become so bitter, this song comes along and reminds me to stop living in the past. Moving on is just very hard to do but I don't know, this song gives me strength to move step by step into the present and I soon find that I no longer dwell in days that are long gone.

22. Mighty to Save-Hillsongs / From the Inside Out-Hillsongs / Hosanna-United Hillsongs
A huge call for revival and pure worship in my church youth ministry, starting from the band ourselves. It was really hard to lay down everything in front of God, to say "Change me from the inside out" and "Heal my heart and make it clean, break my heart for what break Yours" but it was nothing compared to what Christ did for us.

23. Jenny-The Click Five
The lyrics is so nonsensical and ridiculous but so fun to sing to. Me and thewongzynator kept singing this song to annoy the people around us.

24. Home-Daughtry
The first time my crush initiated a conversation with me was when this song was playing at some evangelistic concert. Yes, I'm such a loser when it comes to my love life.

25. 心領-Raymond Lam & Linda Chung
Sum Ling = Alfred/Sheung Joi Sum = Rayinda

26. One for Me-SHINee / Graze-SHINee
There wasn't any particular song that made me go "HOMG I LOVE SHINEE!"; I love the whole album but these two are definitely my favorite songs. It still remains my fave SHINee songs. it sure beats Juliette and RDD, you have to admit that. Thanks to the album (that Sammy of AF sent me), I got into KPOP.

27. 千帆-Ella Koon
For someone who is still waiting for her Mr. Right (I wish it was Siwon who is lost and just refusing to ask for directions but no, I don't think I can even see him live, much less marry him. Yes, I have to accept the sad truth *sadface forever*), this song is just so apt.

28. Just for One Day-KyuHyun & CSJH
I don't care what you say, KyuHyun has the best male voice in the whole wide world. And this song is special because...it's what I want to tell to a special someone *sighs*

29. Love in the Ice-DongBangShinKi
Before watching this video, I was frowning at all the DBSK love and laughing at the Mirotic MV cause it was just so nonsensical but WOW this video just blew me away. From that day on I watched and repeated this video a million times, I was hooked and I knew that I will be their fan FOREVER.

30. Gee-SoNyuhShiDae
Did you know I hated this song so much when I first heard it? Now I can't stop playing the song and people can't stop dancing to the song in Singapore. LMAO...OMG FANY, I LOVE YOU.

31. Sorry Sorry-Super Junior
I don't think I need to say why this song is in the list.

32. 獨行俠-Pong Nan
I have always known that there was nothing wrong in solitude and being alone but I'm still afraid of loneliness. This song is written so well that it hits me like no other song has ever done. I really hope I can find the peace that comes with solitude.

33. Iris-Goo Goo Dolls / Collide-Howie Day
Why I got to know the song "Iris" was because it was the song that Avril Laveign and her husband danced to for their wedding night.
These two songs, I never really understood the lyrics but HOMG, the lyrics are just so beautiful. (Some of my LJ friends know that I used the lyrics EVERYWHERE.)

34. 歌.頌-Eason Chan
I want to end the list with this song because it represents everything that music means to me. I may not be able to sing in tune, I can't play any instruments and I'm horrible in keeping rhythm but the songs I hear make me cry and make me laugh. It's almost like they are my best friend because at the end of the day, when I'm all alone in the dark, what keeps me company is my mp3 player and the songs.

感谢永远有歌 把心境道破
哪论动或静 谁也有情 情绪有它抚摸

HOMG, long list was long. Kudos to you if you read through everything and well, I hope that this didn't bore you. :)
