One of the earlier videos stopped working (I've deleted them), but I've managed to find more links to this Stepping Out Opening Theme Song.
One of the links is good coz it shows the Romanized Chinese Title 'Chu Lu' which I can read.
Scroll down for more info about this show.

And also... the '出路 - 主题曲' which I copy-pasted to Google Translate shows 'Outlet - Theme Song'... which I take to mean 'Stepping Out', the official English Title.

Stepping Out (simplified Chinese: 出路) is a Chinese drama in Singapore, telecast in 1999 and repeated in 2006.
The series mainly talks about the Chinese immigrant experience in Singapore, and their rough, hard ascent (along with the rest of Singapore) to the present state of wealth and riches that is unprecedented in Singaporean history.
The show stars Yvonne Lim, Xie Shaoguang, Cynthia Koh, Tay Ping Hui, Ivy Lee, and Terence Cao.
Xie Shaoguang and Cynthia Koh won the Best Actor and Best Actress awards respectively for that year's Star Awards. Tay Ping Hui won the Best Supporting Actor and the show also won Best Drama Serial.
Plot
It is the 1920s, a time of great chaos in China. Poverty was rampant in many regions, forcing many people to seek their fortune in the fabled Southern region known collectively as Nanyang. The story begins with three young men from the Fujian province.
A poor oyster collecter named Chen Xia (Terence Cao) wishes to marry his childhood sweetheart, Hong Dou (Cynthia Koh), but struggles to make ends meet.
The son of a wealthy tea plantation owner, Jia Fu (Xie Shaoguang) is a wastrel. Lazy and childish, the only saving grace to his character is his thoughtless generosity. In his naivete he loses his inheritance and is left with nothing but the support of his industrious wife, Ju (Ivy Lee).
After Tian's (Chunyu Shanshan) father dies on the trip to Nanyang, his widowed mother and his two siblings are forced to live a life of scavenging for food in the wilderness. After his sister is killed and his brother goes missing, he is hired by a rich merchant. His new employer is cruel and his meekness makes him an easy target for bullying, but he finds himself attracted to the man's second wife, HaiYan (Yvonne Lim).
Despite the disparity between their situations and personalities, they each find themselves making the trip to the port of Singapore in Nanyang all with the same purpose: To seek a way out of their circumstances and a better future.

Guitalele ~ Yamaha GL-1 Guitalele (1997)

GUITALELE
from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guitalele
(go to link for latest info)
GUITALELE is spelled without the ‘R’ in but sometimes with, as in ‘GUITA'R'LELE’. It is basically a Guitar-Ukulele Hybrid that includes a cross between a Classical Guitar and a Tenor Ukulele. One of the drawbacks of guitars is their unwieldy shape and size. The GUITALELE overcome these through its size and a built-in microphone that permits playing the GUITALELE as an Acoustic Guitar or connected to an amplifier. The GUITALELE is considered a Travel Guitar. In January 1997, Yamaha Corporation came out with the GL-1 GUITALELE.

Star ~ PGA Edit
Various image formats for various experimentation purposes. I don’t know why the File Size from Windows Explorer (WE) does not tally with the File Size that I’m reading in this MS-Outlook Email (MSOE). Anyway, I’ve written both in this format (WE,MSOE) to differentiate them.
.
01 ~ BMP Original (3KB,6KB).bmp
.
02 ~ JPG Edit fr BMP (2KB,5KB).JPG
.
03 ~ JPG Edit fr MsWord (1KB,5KB).jpg
.
04 ~ PNG Edit fr MsWord (2KB,5KB).png
.
01 ~ BMP Original (3KB,6KB).bmp.
02 ~ JPG Edit fr BMP (2KB,5KB).JPG.
03 ~ JPG Edit fr MsWord (1KB,5KB).jpg.
04 ~ PNG Edit fr MsWord (2KB,5KB).png.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Conclusion (still on going):
.
01 ~ BMP Original (3KB,6KB).bmp ~ this file format I’ve been using for a long time now and it’s good for editing. However, the size of the file is too big for archive. But in order to continue editing I will still archive it as BMP. Uploading this file to internet almost always gets it’s quality affected so not a good file for uploading.
.
02 ~ JPG Edit fr BMP (2KB, 5KB).JPG ~ I’ve been using this file format converted using Paint Brush since I started but found out that MS Word does a better conversion with lower file size.
.
03 ~ JPG Edit fr MsWord (1KB, 5KB).jpg ~ this file format is converted using MS Word and is better than using Paint Brush coz it has lower file size.
.
04 ~ PNG Edit fr MsWord (2KB, 5KB).png ~ Interesting. Best picture quality. I’ve got to read up about this format. It seems as good as BMP and it does not get converted when uploading to the internet. I suspect that it’s file size is not as big as BMP. However, when PNG's size is compared with JPG, it is not consistent, meaning --- sometimes it's bigger & sometimes it's smaller. If it's smaller than JPG then I'd suggest using this coz it's definitely a better picture quality.
