What is this song? Potentially most ridiculous thread award.

[Robbie B]

For about 2 years, my mate and I occasionally whistle a song when we're not thinking and we have no idea what it is.We've Googled Asian classical music and Googled famous musicals to check if it's from any but we can't find it. It's a classical piece, so it has no words which is where out problem lies.

I've had enough now. PH solves everything and I need to draw upon its resources. Here is a clip of me whistling, very badly, the rough tune of the song. Multiple internet beers to the person who puts my mate and I out of our misery on this matter! I am fully aware of how ridiculous this is but I can stomach the shame in exchange for the song title

Thank you! Classical music is so hard to find the name of without something else attached to it like an advert.
