The power of music. They capture this fragment of your life when you are listening to it, and keeps it. Then, five years down the road, you listen to the particular song again, and you feel the pangs of nostalgia--that particular fragment comes back to you.
Listening to Marshall Mathers by eminem--- i am in sec 2, staying for one whole week in the school gymnasium cos got intensive pre-comp training camp. During that period the six of us, the C Boys school team, ate slept played talked trained together. Joked. Threw tantrums. slept a few nights in the weights room, playing monopoly before sleeping. Walked to 7 11 at sixth avenue at 3 am to try scare the counter guy. Haha even remember wen kai saying how come eminem can sing 'fuck' until so calm and relaxed in the song.
Listening to Just Say Goodbye by JTL-- im preparing for my Os. study leave. i had this song on my new creative 256mb player. remember my parents were not at home, went overseas. home alone. remember sleeping at 11 every night, waking up at 4am to try to mug, then in the end end up listening to the player, and playing final fantasy tactics on my gameboy advance. eating canned food and bread for many a meal to save money. remember got 16 other school papers for physics to do, it was fucking thick. and i think i did all. hahaha
Listening to Gui Ji by Jay Chou-- after Os. going to town nearly every other day. juz started breaking. still had my creative player. talking 518 damn frequently until think the uncles know me. had a minor crush on somebody. went taiwan listening to this song 24/7.
Listening to Keep on Loving You by REO Speedwagon-- playing Grand Theft Auto Vice City till late at night every day. the song was a soundtrack of the game. also reminds me of chinhoe and yj coming my house to play dynasty warriors and dragonball on ps2. PW.
Listening to If We Hold On by dunno hu-- nostalgia upon nostalgia. listened to it last time cos of Land Before Time. then forgot abt the existence of this song when i grew up. then for sec 2 the song was used for a clip for Students Council. i was like 'wad the fuck', then went home to download. listened. the first time i cried because of a song.
Loads more actually. But i feel that if not for these songs i would not have so vividly remembered, or even remembered in the first place, all these bits and pieces making up my life. who knows, 6 years down the road when i listen to Lonely by Akon i might remember trying to type finish this despite an urge to go toilet da bian
