Picked up a very mouldy, broken, dirty #cassette in #KualaLumpur: a collection of songs by Frances Yip, an absolute #cantopop legend.

Someone had been inside before, fixing a snapped-off leader tape by just connecting the magnetic tape directly to the reel. The card insert was bent and fox-eared and the jewel case cracked. Parts were covered in insect droppings.

Replaced the felt pad and rusty screws, spliced in a new leader, straightened the tape shell with heat, cleaned, steamed and pressed the card, replaced the case and slip mats, reglued the labels... the mould came off with a few plays and now it looks and sounds great. It has its battle scars but it's alive and kicking, ready for another 46 years.

今晚聽著這首歌，反思自己的感情經歴和求學經歴：

無緣何必再強求！

Nữ ca sĩ Hong Kong Quan Thục Di, giọng ca quen thuộc với khán giả Việt Nam qua bài hát "Tình như lá bay xa", vừa phải nhập viện cấp cứu trong tình trạng nguy kịch. Nguyên nhân được cho là do bà đã đối mặt với các vấn đề về sức khỏe và tinh thần trong thời gian dài.
