Don't look down on the cleaners, because cleaners also have talent.
When I saw this comment, my heart was very touched.
Everything happened unexpectedly. Usually, I will clear the debris myself.
But that day Sumali was with me.
So we end up clearing the bulky items to the bin centre.
Then the rain started to pour and we were stuck here.
So Sumali tells me: “Hey! There's a piano here."
"Can you hit some notes?” I said: “I don't know how to play much.”
Then he said: “Just play any note.”
Then he started singing.
Many of the netizens.
They asked how the piano ended up here.
It's because one day, there was a resident here. Their piano was broken. A few keys were out of tune.
So they decided to throw it.
So, I helped them discard the piano to this bin centre.
But the lower C could still play.
So we decided to ask permission from my
direct supervisor, if i can keep the piano here for a while.
Because, I'm not a piano player.
I'm just learning how to play.
So that's how we got the idea. Just play anything you know.
Have fun with it.
I'm very thankful that the netizen's comments were very motivating.
We always thought we are the cleaners you know.
Nobody really cares about us.
But when I see the comments, I see...
I see the true Singaporean spirit really come out, you know.
To say good things.
Even my management, the the council member of this condominium.
You know my boss came down and said, “Hey! It's actually good! Your video is good!”
They tap me on the back.
“Sometimes, you know you have to relax, you know.”
“You work hard. You play hard. You know it's okay.”
I feel happy when I see so many likes and comments.
Not only Malays, I see Chinese. Indians also have.
Some people ask me, “Wah Uncle Abang! Wah! You're famous now!”
Actually, I'm not so good. I just want to sing.
It's for fun only. I'm also a little scared.
So after so many words of encouragement,
Sumali decided, “Hey! Let's become a duo."
Maybe we should try busking.
We are looking into that area but it's not confirmed yet.
Now, we talk more about music and life.
We also share our personal lives with each other too.
It brings us closer, in a way.
