Like the Swallow (如燕) by Olivia Ong, from The Little Nyonya (å°å¨˜æƒ¹) Drama
This is the consequence of not having a television! I heard everyone talking about it, I heard its theme song on radio stations, I read all the trivias of this drama and interviews with those artists who star in this drama, BUT I never get to watch it!
Can Mediacorp release its DVD version asap? Thanks!
Jeanette Aw (欧è±) as the beautiful and determined Nyonya, good in cooking and beadwork and makes a good housewife
You know everyday I get those complaints about how evil Lim Mei Jiao is in Little Nyonya, how pitiful Jeanette Aw is and how delicious the nyonya delicacies are. Hey you know? I am quite familiar with Malacca as well, why don’t you guys join me for a tour in Malacca? I’ll name it as “The Little Nyonya” tour…sounds great huh?
Yes933 is always playing and hard-selling its theme song: 如燕 (Like the Swallow), pronounced as “Ru Yan”. Olivia Ong surprised me by her accurate Chinese pronunciation. She has a soft and gentle voice, maybe angelic is the best word to describe that feeling. Well, she looks pretty as well.
She is definitely the dream girl of many guys out there! Guys would like to keep her beside them and command “Sing to me! My angel!” whole day long!

I’ve prepared a piano sheet for this Little Nyonya theme song as well, and I think there is no better time than now to post it before the drama finishes.
Some information about this piano sheet:
1) It’s in original key, Bb Major
2) Lyrics and chords are included
3) See some ornaments in the piano sheet? It’s the imitation of Malay accordion and guitar in this song.
4) No repeats. Therefore this piano sheet is 9 pages long. You don’t have to jump from this bar to another bar and find where the signs are.

umm Ah Doe, i am trying the piano score of ‘Ru yan’ that you posted and i was wondering if you could post a video or a sound clip using the piano score because i have trouble playing it… the tunes do not really come out and there are some parts which seem kind of weird.
Thanks

Hi Ah Doe jiejie,
thanx for dropping by my blog. I wish I can run a blog all by myself too but at the moment Mummy will have to do it for me.
btw, there is a wrong word on ya music sheet for ru-yan.
It should be “é’空” instead of “晴空”.
I’m still learning how to play the piano at the moment so can’t really comment on ya notes.
but thanx for sharing ya music sheets. I hope I can use them really soon.

Hi Hann,
So cute! Thanks for your message and corrections. I’ve changed the characters that you’ve pointed out.
You can re-download the piano sheet now.
What a great mum you have, you already have your own blog before going to school. I believe when you read back this blog when you grow up, you’ll appreciate what your mum has done for you.
