Stress...and its lessons from a singer

Just read an article on Mavis Hee...and I feel a lot of sadness for her...

Prominent in my growing years where many of us will agree that she was the first Chinese prominent female singer after Teresa Teng's passing in 1994, she was so cheerful, and loved singing...and some of her songs were my favourites too...

But today, the merciless nature of the music industry has forced older singers who still have their forte and style but not relevant for the masses out...Singapore is no exception.

As I grew up, there was Mavis Hee and Kit Chan, then came Tanya Chua...now we have A-do, Stefanie Sun, and JJ Lin.

The aftermath of this has led to Mavis suffering and it is a big blow for anyone who has to come to terms with a sudden drop if your future would be blighted by circumstances such as this.

As a music lover, I really hope to see Mavis Hee come back to the singing stage again. For she can do if she believes. And in my opinion, the whole nation will be behind her when she makes her comeback soon.

If you do not know Singapore music that well, at least this provides a short commentary in the scene of the 1990s...anyway, I am lending my voice to the many fans who want Mavis back. After all, they are like me, hearing her music while growing up.

To end it off, here is her latest song to date, "Ming Zhi Dao". A very soothing though sad song which talks about the irony of love: something which is painful but will always stay in our hearts.

A song for all couples, especially the newly inaugurated pair which is just a few days old...you know whom I am talking about...all the best to you and her...

我想算了吧 不如就这样地分手
我的心在痛 对你的爱太浓
是否你能带走过去的承诺 不再对你奢求什么
只想让你懂 转过身就不能回头
已经做決定 又何必再强留
选择了离开我 还能说什么 爱使你爱使我迷惑
明知道爱你不会有结果 为何还如此执着
为你付出所有 你竟不顾一切就走
明知道爱你只是继续错 为何还如此脆弱
已经习惯有你 已经不能将你摆脱

也许当一场梦 梦醒一切都随风
