Back In Time...
My radio was humming away with one of my favourite Valen song "" together with the soft peltering of rain against my window as I woke up in a rather cold morning. A feeling came over me; perhaps its the rain, perhaps, its the song... I don't really know.I sat dazed, on my bed for a while. Pictures of yesteryears just flowed into my mind involuntarily... I saw pictures of myself during my primary school days; such was the carefree times I once experienced. The feelings of innocence towards the runnings of the world are now gone together with the advent of age. I no longer feel the old, happy self anymore... Am I no longer happy? I don't know... happiness seemed to have taken on a whole new identity; I can no longer recognise the difference between the two...
Why does the past always seem the better when compared to the present? What is this funny thing we call nostalgia?
Valen's songs always seem to bring back those happy moments of time long past into the passage of history; my history...
"就象那首歌﹐ 經過半個世紀﹐ 唱起來還有最初感情﹐ 而你唱著新戀曲﹐ 是否在心底﹐ 浮起舊的旋律﹖

Well, there are always anchor points in our lifestory that we'll remember forever.
Valen will remain a very very special person in my story also. I've been listening to her albums too. And that has only reaffirmed how there hasn't been a singer nowadays who really deliver that depth of emotions into her songs.
There just isn't enough good songs written that can touch our hearts anymore. We are moving away from this genre to a more modern one; new isn't always better...
I do agree that she is but 1 of the many anchor points we use to mark our lifestory; a very special one.
gee.. i get what u mean.. for me when i go past places that i have been before in the past.. i will started thinking of my childhood memories...
well, making today happy means you can see a happy yesterday tomorrow..
so dun think too much of the carefree past.. we muz work towards a carefree future!
hee..i did went to swim.. at 7pm! haha
Jinki> Yeah, I experience that too, sometimes, I just yearn for the past; maybe the future is just too unpredictable, we tend to like the more "confirmed" past.
Jeffire> Hey, you should have told me that you are going at 7pm; I was rushing a poster for my design module until about 5.30pm. Anyway, I do agree with what you said, happiness should be with us every moment of the day; and we should make our best effort to stay happy no matter what the odds are. Sounds easy, but difficult to execute. :)
