Good friend Richard Rajoo felt there was nothing he could contribute for the blog when I wanted to interview him. A humble person indeed but when we chatted about Chinese songs, and he's very informative about them, he had a short story to relate. Hopefully he will tell us more the next time. Thanks so much Richard.
"Good morning,
These melodies are etched in my mind... I hear my mum singing in her hi-pitched voice, as she prepares our family's meal in the kitchen, I can still recall her in her samfu [Chinese blouse n pants outfit], stir-frying the vegetables in the kitchen at our Tiong Bahru pre-war flat that we lived in.
🙏🏻 R.I.P. Mum.
And I enjoyed the sight and her voice singing along...👍🏼80 years ago, 🤦!Yao Li's song... till this day, every once in a while, the sentimental melodies still play back in my mind..."
