That Girl in Pinafore Page #7

---

May died 18 years ago.

I was told that mom had a weak heart.

She died while giving birth to me.

Grand ma gave me away after that.

Are you alright?

I'm okay.

There's just too many fond memories.

How are you?

Are you happy?

I love my foster parents a lot.

But for the most part

I've always wondered

what my dad looks like.

I always knew that my mom is a Singaporean.

Uncle Jiaming...

Could you tell me a little

bit more about my mom?

We were very close friends.

I was always happy

whenever we were together.

I remember the days we were in a band.

I remember the songs that we sang.

And the dancing too.

We were really happy.

If her friends knew that she had a daughter

They would be so happy

and surprised.

I would love to meet them.

Look, how about this"!

I will be performing at

Clarke Quay tomorrow night.

And I would love it if

you and mom's old friends could come.

We will be there.

I won't be lonely

With my one and only

'Cause I can see forever

Feeling her in my arms...

Rachel

Hi Uncle Jiaming!

I'm so glad you are here!

I have something for you.

I've kept it for a long time.

Some of these things belonged to your mom.

I thought you should have it.

Wow, I'm really grateful for this.

Thank you.

My performance is up next so...

stick around and I'll come find you?

Sure!

See you!

Thank you, thank you very much.

That's the end of my set for tonight.

Next up, we have some

friends from the States.

So please stay tuned.

Xiaopang, where are you?

Right behind you.

Long time no see!

Haoban!

Caogen! - Long time no see!

Sit, sit.

Wow the kids are big now!

Greet Uncle Jiaming.

Uncle Jiaming. - Good boys!

Jiaming how have you been?

- Good!

Caogen, what are you selling these days?

There's nothing I don't sell!

This is Singapore.

Tough making money.

You asked us here to watch a gig?

Yes. I think they are starting soon.

Hi everyone!

Thank you so much for coming down here.

Thank you so much for the opportunity

to perform here tonight.

I am absolutely grateful.

I would like to start the

set off with a local oldie

and it is dedicated to a

group of people over there

who were once my mom's best friends.

Guess what?

My mom's actually Singaporean.

This song is called

'Everlasting Friendship'.

I hope you guys like it.

When we were young.

We all had dreams.

There was once you revealed your wishes.

And when your birthday came

I gave you a harmonica

I'll never forget

The smile on your face

Friendship is like a river

that strings our hearts together

I used to cheer for you

at the basketball court

and pick you up when you fall.

And when I see the shooting

star across the night sky

The night breezes hear

our every aspirations

When we were young.

We had our sorrows

Only you could understand my indignation

Whenever I am feeling down

You'd play that familiar tune

The sound of the instrument eases my pain

Friendship is like a river that parts

The time will come when

we go our separate ways

I'll put a pat on your back

don't get too melancholic

The world may be precarious

But we'll be steadfast in our direction

Regardless of the outcome,

we'll not forget our times together.

Yea rs later

We'll meet again

smiling with our wrinkled faces

I will ask again my friend

Will you play the harmonica again?

Just like the old times.

Just like the old times.

Friendship is like a river that parts

The time will come when

we go our separate ways

I'll put a pat on your back

don't get too melancholic

The world may be precarious

But we'll be steadfast in our direction

Regardless of outcome, we'll

not forget our times together

Yea rs later

We'll meet again

smiling with our wrinkled faces

I will ask again my friend

Will you play the harmonica again?

Just like the old times.

Just like the old times.

We have countless encounters in our lives

only true friendship will lasts

We shall all hope

for everlasting friendship

Just like the old times.
