What is Chinese Fever? Well, this is a very personal illness that I suffer from time to time. It usually last a few days when it comes. You see, having lived overseas in the Western world for over 20 years (24 to be exact), I sometimes forget my origins in the hustle and bustle of every day life. I used to be able to speak and write passable Mandarin. However, slowly but surely it gets eroded over the years. So, sometimes I have to admit that I am a "banana"; a term that means that one is yellow on the outside (meaning having the outward appearance of a Chinese), but white on the inside; i.e only able to speak English and not Mandarin. Having said all these, from time to time, when I slow down from my hectic pace, I get nostalgic and "feel Chinese", crave for Chinese music, feel homesick and all that jazz! So thanks to Lychee, a girl from my alumni forum, who started a thread on Beautiful Songs, I am able to listen to some of my old favourites and reminice. Below is just one of my many favourites. Do enjoy and Happy New Year for 2008 folks!.
