The Singapore HeritageFest is an annual signature event organized by the National Heritage Board's Outreach and Education division. Sound stories 2 is one of the programs lined up in the Singapore heritage festival  2008.

I saw the ads on I-weekly magazine abt this concert held at Vivo City. It was a FREE one-night-only concert celebrating our homegrown, popular Chinese music genre. Xinyao (新谣).  This is the unique music genre composed and performed by Singapore's youth in the 1980s-1990s. When i was growing up, these songs were constantly being played on my mum's old radio.  When i took  the chinese lyrics in yr2, which was taught by 梁文福(many ppl called him the father of xinyao after he had written over 200+ songs).. he showed me a deeper meaning to xinyao. From then on, i was crazy over it... from songs to drama.... just love the meaningful lyrics that the xinyao singer have written... 

So i decided to go to the concert with Char and Abel... Met up with Char in the afternoon for shopping first while we wait for abel.. After the our dinner at Kim Gary Cafe, we proceed to the amphitheatre. We were each  given a orange wristband for identification purpose.  Love the atmosphere there... open-space concert... Since there was 1 hr more b4 the concert start, it was photo-taking time!!!! 

@ 7pm, the show began.... Reminisce on Xinyao's history with the musicians as they play notable songs and share their stories about the Singapore music scene from the past. Performing artistes include Pan Ying (潘盈), Li Fei Hui (黎沸挥), Brenda Teng (邓淑娴), Cai Lilan (蔡礼莲), Zheng Zhan Lun (郑展伦), Ye Ge Zi Xiao Zu (野鸽子小组), and 4 Superstar Finalists (绝对SuperStar决赛歌手).

Some of the songs(mostly written by 梁文福) they sang did bring up some of my memories... time i had with my friends in my primary and secondary days. We sang along with some of the "younger" songs like 關懷方式,懈逅,等你等到我心痛...  but there were also songs that sound totally foreign to us... but we still enjoy ourselves there....  the concert ended with all the performers singing 城裡的月光 with the  audience waving our lighted Hp... Only one word to describe the whole event. SUPER!!!! 



P.s  <<天冷就回来>> will be showing again next april.... cant wait to go watch it again... the last time i watched it with suling.. i totally fell in love with it... my previous entry abt it.. anyone wanna watch with me again?
