2404

So I was nua-ing on my sofa while my grandma watched the Star Awards and…

JJ LIN PERFORMED!!!!!

And it wasn’t just any performance – he performed his classics：会有那么一天，记得，Sarang Heyo etc. So so so nostalgic :’)

People are generally surprised when I tell them I listen to Chinese songs and I’m like… Dude, I’m Chinese too, why does it surprise you so much?!?! I can sing the chorus of Jay Chou’s 七里香 on-demand ok!

Anyway.

Point is, I really like JJ Lin’s old songs, especially 会有那么一天，一千年以后，翅膀 and 曹操. In fact, I think there were so many iconic songs between 2005 – 2010 that kinda defined that awkward tween/teenage period. At the top of my head, I remember listening to…

• Kelly Clarkson – Breakaway (album)
• Green Day – Holiday, American Idiot, Wake Me Up When September Ends
• High School Musical HAHAHAHAHA
• Backstreet Boys – I Want It That Way, Incomplete, Inconsolable
• Simple Plan – Perfect, Welcome to My Life
• Taylor Swift – Teardrops on My Guitar, Love Story
• The Click Five – Jenny
• Boys Like Girls – The Great Escape, Thunder, Hero/Heroine, Love Drunk
• Britney Spears – Toxic, Crazy, Everytime, Womaniser
• Avril Lavigne – Complicated, When You’re Gone, The Best Damn Thing, Innocence, Sk8ter Boi (LOL)
• Linkin Park – Numb, In the End, Somewhere I Belong
• Rihanna – Unfaithful, Umbrella, Pon de Replay
• Lady Gaga – Bad Romance, Pokerface, Paparazzi, Alejandro
• SHE – 中国话，五月天，Superstar
• Mayday – 天使，恋爱-ing, 倔强，私奔到月球
• Jay Chou – 借口，我不配，安静，彩虹，稻香，不能说的秘密
• 张韶涵 －不想懂得，亲爱的，那不是爱情，隐形的翅膀
• 欧得洋 －孤单北半球

And not forgetting  郭美美’s 老鼠爱大米, 光良’s 童话 and 卓文萱/曹格’s 梁山伯与茱麗葉 LOL.

Okay, here’s a Spotify link to JJ Lin’s 会有那么一天. Love the lyrics. So simple yet so touching :’)

(Thank God for Spotify; I think they can consider hiring me as their influencer because this is the second time I have written about them HAHA #PRtalk #kidding)
