This is a new piece recently composed by Kah Loong. As taken from his blog:
“Ever tried looking at the sky in the morning? Did you see the star?
This song is written to highlight the uniqueness of people who are special in our hearts. Those people could be our children, our boyfriends/girlfriends etc. The bright morning star [...]

Here they are [...]

When I heard Kah Loong’s cover, I couldn’t stop grinning myself silly. Don’t get me wrong, I think it’s a fantastic cover (of course what, it’s my own song, haha!)…it’s just that [...]

To quote the songwriter Kah Loong, “This song talks about a guy thinking of a girl he likes. He has not seen this girl [...]
