“为什么你会听他们的歌?”
“哇!你是哪一年生的?”
“哎哟,为什么你听那么老的歌?”
“没有听过这个人。”
"Ahyo, i think you are living in the wrong era!"
"Wa, all these songs so old already!"
"Siao gia! Thia simi lao gua la!" (Hokkien)

Usually i will just shrug my shoulders and say:

“我也不懂,老歌好听 maa。”

or when i am more enthusiastic

“Siao!!! 老歌才好听lor!”

Remember the days when my parents always play those Oldies over the audio player.
When i was young, i can't be bothered to find out anything about songs.
But somehow, the tunes and rhythms of the songs will ooze into my soul naturally.
Then, many many years later...

“Eh! 这首歌很熟悉!”
“Eh?? 这首不是那个谁唱的lor...eh.....”

When i finally figured it out,

“Ahhhhhhhh!! 这首!Hahaha...wa sibei 老的歌lor...那个时候我还在..."

For a moment, i stood there, reminiscing.
Music is wonderful.
It brings back memories.
It was, in retrospect, the happiest day of my life...(or maybe not)

I am sure everyone has a particular song that brings back memories.
Keep that in mind.

Cause one day,
that song is gonna be an Oldie
