Before clubbing, there was chionging. And it was quite a riot, literally.

These tracks ruled the day when R&B was nowhere to be found. Ask your ex-Ah Bengs and ex-Ah Lians friends whether they listened to these songs or not.

They are probably going to say no.

1. I Got to Give It Up

This song was given up long time ago.

2. Butterfly

" width="420" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen">

To dance with light sticks. Yes, people brought light sticks to party. You know, just in case it was too dark.

3. Anthem #3

" width="420" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen">

Inside or outside? What a topsy-turvy song.

4. 眉飛色舞

" width="420" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen">

Put your hands in the air, chao Ah Lians!

5. Do It All Night

" width="420" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen">

Do it all night. Sure thing.

6. Listen to the Rain

When listening to the rain was a thing.

7. Anthem #4

" width="420" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen">

Check whose body?

8. Rapture

" width="420" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen">

Perfect song to build up a chiong session.

9. Oh Le Le

" width="420" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen">

There was something about fathers in this song.

10. 獨一無二

" width="420" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen">

There's simply no escape for Ah Lians.

11. Infinity

" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen>

We can listen to this all day long.

12. Blue

" width="420" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen">

Best lyrics ever.

13. Where Are You?

" width="420" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen">

This must be Liang Po Po's theme song.

14. Sea of Love

" width="420" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen">

So cheesy.

15. 爱不怕

" width="420" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen">

Alamak, wasapa?

16. In My Dreams

" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen>

We had this in our dreams every night.

17. The Roof is On Fire

" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen>

Arsonists rejoice.

18. Drive Me Crazy

" width="420" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen">

This is the most classic of techno tunes of that era. It really drove a lot of people crazy.

Bonus track: Check out Aqua performing at Ngee Ann City's Sparks (now California Fitness) in 1999. Instant classic.
