I had a dream about late Wong Ka Kui a few nights ago. I must have been missing him dearly. The day after the dream, I have been playing songs by Beyond on Spotify to reminisce the good old days. Those days of me and my imaginary boyfriend… *grinz*
Ka Kui used to be my imaginary boyfriend before Jordan Knight from NKOTB back then. Hah!~ Not that he was the cutest one, but a talented one. He was a singer-songwriter, the lead vocalist, rhythm guitarist and the founder member of the Hong Kong rock band Beyond.
I got teased by my eldest sister for ‘loving’ him. I was only in primary 2 or 4, I can’t recall. One amazing thing was I can sing all songs in the entire album. Not that I can read Chinese. My sisters and I don’t read Chinese. Well, not that my English is well polished either. Both my sisters are my influence. What they did was PLAY-STOP-REWIND till they get the Chinese lyrics translated. I did the same and sang along with the cassette player, jumped up and down on our shared queen size bed as a stage, acting like a rock star. A rock star wannabe. *roll eyes*
His voice was something. He was a gift to the musical industry. Although Wong Ka Kui is no more with us but his songs he brought us will never die.
Missing you, Wong Ka Kui. (10 June 1962 – 30 June 1993).
