Old days

Have you ever had the sudden nostalgic flash of memory of the old days so sudden that you take a break from whatever you're doing at that particular moment to recall "adjacent" memories because you just can't help it? I had such moment today. I was listening to the radio and Mariah Carey's Without You was in the air. I liked her. And that was some 15 years ago. I remember I used to listen to her song pretending that I was more sophisticated than my peers, who listened to Chinese songs. And I remember that I used to read up all good reviews in the newspaper or magazine, so that I could read about the critics' review about her new album, so that I could recite those comments about her octave range, or something like that, and felt sophisticated by doing so. And I remember San Chin agreed with me, and made me feel great about my choice of favorite artist. And I remember we had a lot of fights, and arguments, and stupid jokes, and real laughters, all the time when we were in high schools. And then I remember the stand-up comedy in cassette tape by this I-forgot-the-name guy from Singapore. San Chin liked to mimic his accent and jokes over and over again, and it was never old, and I laughed my pants off, every time, truthfully, sincerely. It was just so, funny.

Hah... those were the days... the old days. Nostalgic memory can be a pleasant surprise. At least this one made my day, today.

Return from Hiatus

I started this blog more than 3 years ago hoping to learn more about myself in the process. Well, I stopped writing about 2 years ago, for no obvious reason. Just like that, stopped writing.

Let's see if I have the will to continue this ranting, about things I observe in life. Since there's no longer anyone subscribing update from this blog, I think I can write my mind. If for some reasons you're strangely subscribed to this blog, I thank you, and I love you :)
