The Moon Represents My Heart / 月亮代表我的心, is a famous Chinese Pop song from the 1970s. Coming from a Chinese family in Malaysia, my grandmother spoke and taught me the little, but sufficient Cantonese. She was also responsible for a lot of my childhood care because both my parents had to work in the office till evenings.
From my primary school years, I attended a Chinese school till I then later transferred to an international school at the age of 12, so I had a decent 4 years of studying Chinese (which I have now mostly forgotten to read, down the drain) before transferring to a private school for a better mid-tier education.
Since primary school was tough (because Chinese moon-runes are difficult to remember), my grandma would teach me whatever she know just to finish my homework that was, *in chinese*. The sciences and math were particularly the worst. I mean, math in English is already hard enough ehh?
So at 2.30pm, I would do homework at my grandma's house, she would tutor me when I asked, and by 4pm I was "mostly", *done*, with my homework, and I proceeded to watching TV. Somewhere around 4:30pm, I would often be requested to take an afternoon nap by my grandma which I would be reluctant to. I mean, I FINISHED HOMEWORK, I WANNA WATCH CARTOON NETWORKKKKKKK, 30 MINUTES ISN'T ENOUGHHH.
Sulks childishly
Eventually to put my 8 year old mind to sleep, grandma would sing this song as she patted me to bed *pats*. But of course, I was so fidgetty back then, there was always a 70% chance of me not falling asleep and I would often fake my sleep just so she could go back to the kitchen and I would sneak on watching the TV without sound, just so she wouldn't notice.
Teehee.
My Grandmother's birthday was 2 weeks ago. Coincidentally, that was also the time I had to fly back from the states just to catch her I̶m̶p̶e̶r̶i̶a̶l̶ ̶C̶h̶i̶n̶e̶s̶e̶ ̶F̶e̶a̶s̶t̶ birthday party that was last night. (I also played this arrangement for her in front of all our friends and relatives, she was the very first to hear it, and she liked it. ( *screams internally*)
This arrangement of "The Moon Represents my Heart" is a little present i've been working on for 4 weeks just to convey my thanks for all the sacrifices and love she's done for me to be the person I am today. Being away for a lengthy period of time to study overseas has made me realize just how much I miss my family, especially my grandmothers.
So to my returning subscribers, I hope you will enjoy this old chinese classic pop song, as I have when I was younger and even now. Since it's almost 50 years old, I decided to give it some alterations by changing a lot of the song's original musical structure to fit with my current, new level of transcription capabilities.
Well then, that's it from me, l promise the next upload will be an ani-song.
