i finally got round to watching 881 the movie. albeit late, i know. =P
this song in particular, moves me in a way i'm unable to describe. i've heard daen sing it before (which i thought was fantastic btw), but listening to the accoustic version at the end of the movie was such a treat. hokkien songs have a special way of telling the story and expressing the writer/singer's emotional angst/pain/joy at the same time, which is extremely unique - sometimes making it completely laughable and/or achingly beautiful, or sometimes all at the same time. =)

I had the privilege of watching Wu Yan Yan performing at a one-night only concert at Lunar (at Clarke Quay). She sang the song (in Hokkien of course) as her final number, telling the audience that it was to her, the most memorable number from the movie, and the song that "got her started on this entire journey".
