Classic Cantopop Songs

Hello, I disappeared again, sorry, lately I've been busy writing an assignment, tidying up and revising for my upcoming exams. However, I decided to create this post that features a lot of my favourite Cantonese pop songs, some of these songs are considered Classics and are very old but still widely appreciated by the older generation and me !!! hahaha. These songs also help me to relax and I love listening to them a lot. (Credit: None of the videos belong to me, the links of the videos are below the song titles). I hope you will enjoy listening to them.

If you could meet anyone, who would it be?

Hi, this is a question that you probably heard or even answered before, well if I could meet anyone then I would say Grasshopper. I would love to meet Remus, Calvin and Edmond, I think they seem liked genuine, happy and friendly people. I also truly love their music and the way they perform.


I have written a post about Grasshopper, and who they are~ they are a Hong Kong band who have been very successful and still is popular. For me, I love their distinctive style of clothing, their catchy songs and their kind, funny and sweet personalities. I think they would be really cool people to meet.


What about you guys? and what would you guys do, if you met your favourite person/s for the day? What questions would you ask them? (I think I'd be too shy to say anything).

I would love to perform with Grasshopper, they always give very energetic performances and you can see that they put a lot of thought into their shows. Also, for me their songs are timeless... hmm.... this turned out to be quite a brief post. I hope everyone is doing well and thank you for reading this post.

Grasshopper the band

Hi, I am back with another music related post, recently I introduced the band Beyond (click on the word to read it). So know I shall be introducing an another Hong Kong band that I discovered recently and love them dearly. 

The Grasshopper that I will be discussing is, the Hong Kong band. Although, I haven't found a song that I particularly like but I like the way they perform and their clothes. I always search for their lives on YouTube because I think they look like, they are really enjoying themselves and look really happy. Anyways, moving on~~~ here's some facts about Grasshopper.

They are a Hong Kong Cantopop boy band which was formed in 1985. The band consist of two brothers Remus and Calvin Choi and their neighbour Edmond Leung. The band was formed when Remus (who was interesting in dancing) selected Calvin and Edmond as his backing dancers for a competition. Although, they were unsuccessful in this competition, they stayed together and carried on performing together. They chose the name "Grasshopper" because they liked the fact that Grasshoppers have "agility" and its also the name of their favourite "cocktail".


In 1985, they took part in the "Hong Kong New Talent Singing Awards" where Anita Mui (a completely, different post in the future of her.) was one of the judges, during their audition they suffered a black out and Anita Mui started talking to them. Later, she became their mentor and visited their "low-cost houses" in her limousine (and probably wearing very glamorous and stylish clothes too). You can search for their lives and music videos on YouTube.

You can check out the rest of their biography on other websites~ as usual... I'll finish with 5 pictures of them, if I find a favourite song or live, then I will add it into this post in the future.
