I often harbour mental image of myself riding in a car and singing to the 80s and 90s…Why? Simple, it makes me trigger happy reminiscing about the good old days dated way back when I was in kindergarten.
Yeah, I could still recall how it became my favourite hobby to sit side by side with my second eldest sister as she plucked one of the earphones into my ear and let our hearts melt in Mariah Carey’s Without You. That’s how I grew with Class 95FM since I was 5 or 6? Till today, I still get excited each time I tune into the station as I bob, move and sing to my favourite tunes just like my childhood days.
Some of my classic moments with this station are as follow…
How can we forget about mugging (don’t)? With Class 95FM around, it definitely kept me awake longer in the night. It probably helps to divide the pressure I am facing too. After a whole night of studying, I often look back and get pleasantly surprised at the pace of my revision which seemed effortless with the company of the station. Not to mention, it comes with very little radio commercials too.
Have you tried running with great music under the evening skyline? The experience was totally relaxing . I would reckon it as a very nice “me” time to reflect about everything under the stars. Personally, it is definitely an inexpensive and perhaps, a more effective way to rejuvenate oneself contrary to those overpriced facials, spas, massage…nahs, nope, not for me.
During my internship with a government regulated body, I was attached to a small department with a number of senior officers. What came through your mind instantly? Grumpy looking, thick rimmed glasses and very rigid personalities? Wrong…honestly- with fingers crossed, we kinda bridge our generation gap and bond through the oldies. I could recall how so many of us managed to pack inside a humble Toyota’s Corolla and sing to Class 95FM’s on our way back and forth to Botak Jones. I won’t mind doing that again, really!
There was a temporary period when I was working for a local bank and it thus, granted me access to their staff gym located near town. I qualified as a gym frequent then and would often train at least once weekly. Each time my training session ends, in a bid to save on the bus fare for short transit trip, I have chosen to walk instead. In return, I rewarded myself with the company of music and Marina’s millions dollar view. (For Singaporeans) My trip starts from DBS Tower One to Lau Pau Sar to One Raffles Quay and all the entire route leading to Esplanade itself. The combination of tall skyscrapers, romantic sea view, gentle night tide, the largest Ferris Wheel and arty farty theatre were all mine- at no cost. However, the experience was priceless, preserved and hedged against the continuing timeline. I could feel myself being part of the scene, right now…
My ever first clubbing trip was on a Wednesday which spelt Mambo Night where the club would intensively play the 80s and 90s in full blast coupled with good bass! Considering I do not party much, that has got to be one of the best experiences! The music was holly molly damn good old shit’! It was so good so much that I did not know how to express myself to relate the ecstacy I felt.
More to come till my hair turn grey, yeah? Not sure if I would like my grand child to sing to Mariah Carey’s, Air Supply’s… when his or her friends are going goo goo garr garr over their very own era’s of Britney Spears.
