Finally a dream come true

This is part of what I was doing in the early 90s Actually this is my first song (music, lyric, arrangement, all made by myself)… and of course also the voice is mine! (sorry for that) hehe ^_^ Hope you enjoy it (actually at that time this song was a small local success… all people around were singing and whistling my song)
