The Chinese title and film genre reminds me of the Taiwanese Movie:
You're The Apple Of My Eye
那些年, 我们一起追的女孩
Okay, back to the Singapore Film:
The movie is starring:
Daren Tan 陈世维
Super Star Idol Fame.
Seah Jiaqing
He sings at Shuffle at Clarke Quay?
Kenny Khoo
Kelvin Mun
Sherly Devonne Ng
More Movie Stills:
Julie and Daren
Hairy legs, Lollipops, Schoolbags, Drums and Guitars
Guys in Pinafores
The Twins
Somehow, I think the English is wrong.
It should be "That Girl In A Pinafore" right?
Oh well..

I have not watched the film yet, so I can't really write a review about it.
But I think it's going to be a coming of age story about a group of teenages, set in Singapore in the 80s where "Xinyao" was burgeoning.
Looking forward to it. The songs are really nice!
The Real SPOP Pioneers and Music Makers:
Liang Wern Fook, Roy Loi, Colin Goh, Chai Yee Wei and Cai Li Lian.
Most of the songs featured in the film were written and sung long ago.

Excerpt:
"
The movie premiered to about 200 people at Starlight Cinema on Tuesday, and Chai was surprised that people clapped at various parts of the movie and also applauded when the credits rolled.
“They even sat till the end of the credits, which is really rare. One of them even shouted that she loved the songs after the screening,” the film-maker told The New Paper in an e-mail from Shanghai.
Chai said he was surprised that That Girl In Pinafore could connect with the Shanghai audience, given the difference in culture.
He said that the movie is “shamelessly local and Singaporean in nature” and is “about the Singapore songs that we all grew up with”.
“At the end of the screening, the audience grabbed the cast members for autographs. They also wanted to know where they could get the soundtrack, which they loved."
