Harmonie's treasures
Spent the past weekend attending an event and then clean up my cabinets. Found quite a few treasures and here’s a quick run-through of them:
New Treasure: iDog.
Received this iDog from some “focus group discussion” cum Star Members high tea session. Yes Sips, u know how I got it. As for that $100 voucher, no shops would accept them Grrrr. So I only have this dog to play with.
But I still prefer black & white dog (Sugar!) to this white dog.
毛妹 keychain.
Anyone still remembered the cartoon serials Mojacko (宇宙小毛球)? Found this among my boxes of keychains. This毛妹 is the sister of the “leading furball” 毛毛.
Cute hor.
Cassette Tapes & CD
Kaoz. Can’t imagine I still have cassette tapes lying around.
The grey cassette tap which you see in the top left corner is actually 张学友《真爱+精选集》. It was the 1st cassette I bought when I was ard 13 yrs old. And I had bought it secretly. 张学友 is my favourite artiste then , and still one of my favourite male singers now.
Then Ah Niu 阿牛 “emerged” into the entertainment industry. Like others, I went crazy over his 搞笑但又很写实的歌曲. Apart from the EP CD (my 1st CD), I bought cassette tapes cos I dun have much $ then. Think at that time cassette cost abt $6 while CD cost abt $17.
Lyrics cum Scores books.
Dunno what you called these. But judging from their cover, some of you might say they does not belong to your era. =P
Hmm, let me recall, the one with Jacky Cheung 张学友 on the cover was bought when I was 14 or 15 years old. Cos I remembering buying them at the Toa Payoh Popular Bookshop , where it was still located at level 3 of Blk 190, which was just a level above the tuition centre which I went to.
Quite foolish of me to buy them then when I do not have any chance to learn any music instrument. But I remembered I was rather 自作聪明, tried to convert all the scores o that I can played the song with my recorder (remember how we were forced to learn the recorder in our secondary music lessons?), and turn out all the keys were wrong, simply because I do not have any music theory background to begin with. Haha.
YES 933 Hits Awards folder
Hmm, perhaps I shall put this up for auction. Maybe it’s a collector’s item now. Got it after spending some amount at 7 Eleven, who was one of the event sponsors.
Can you figure out who are the artistes?
Faye Wong, Andy Lau, Aaron Kwok. Pan Mei Chen, Sun Yao Wei, Zhang Qing Fang, Sandy Lam & Leon Lai.
Now, why there wasn’t any images of “歌神” 张学友, cos he had won The Most Popular Male Artiste Award for a few consecutive years and “to be fair” he was not eligible to contend for the award. Owwww.
Ok, these are just some of the "treasures" I had digged out. Of cos there are some more personal stuffs like old photos, ticket stubs, notes, cards.
I am still stuck with my "unattachment" article......
