Lady

Search high and low, high and low !! Finally I found my old Teresa Teng Gold Collection record, play it …. Hmm … ! So nice. It reminds me of so many memories. Memories that can never be repeated again. Let me tell you a story of a lady that I meet many years back. This brings me back to my child hood time. Where I always listen to Teresa Teng’s song. Teresa’s voice is so beautiful and it remind me of this lady’s voice that I hold dear in my heart, they sound so alike except this lady’s voice is richer and deeper compare to Teresa’s voice which is soft and mild. Everyday in my life I will be awaken by this rich and deep beautiful voice. The voice that bring me through life. Every night I fall asleep listening to this lady singing and it soothe my heart. Every gigs, mini concert and singing competition that I go, she will be there singing while everyone cheering so loudly for her, but no one can beat me of course ! I cheer the loudest and scream my voice out every night at her performance and my dad would say.

“ Ok ok shut up now ! You will spoil your voice box and sound like a duck in future “

Once that lady finishes her performance, I will run backstage to say Hi and congratulate her one her performance. I would run so fast towards her and hug her that she almost falls back every time I do that and I will hold her hand while she is busy talking to people around her. Then she will hold me up and give me some advice before she put me down again and leave.

Every singing competition that the lady entered I will be there to see her win over and over again. The feeling of satisfaction to see the person you support win is so much better then taking drugs. Feel so proud when I walk around town telling everyone that I am her number one supporter and people would respond and say:

“ Oh, that lady ? Yah, heard of her “

That makes me feel even more over the moon !

There was one time where I was standing in front of a big stage holding my dad’s hand with a lot of people standing all around us. Everyone are looking and listening to that lady singing on stage, but I was so short at that time, I can’t see, I pull my dad’s hand and say:

“ Daddy ! I want to see ”

My dad pick me up and let me sit on his shoulder. Then he asked.

“ Can you see now ?”

And I answer.

“ Yes, I can see mommy now ! “

Then I look around to see the crowd. Everyone there is cheering and clapping, some even point at me and say:

“ That is her son … there, he look just like her“

Some would approach me and ask:

“ Do you sound like your mom too ? “

What I answer ?

“ My mommy says I sound like a duck “

Then people would go

“ Hahaha …. “

That’s the memory which always plays in my head when I listen to Teresa Teng’s song. The image of that lady on stage always plays in my head. The only lady in my heart and my life. All I remember is her beautiful voice. I still hear her sing even until now … !!!
