Memories...

Memories...

Memories are something that I cherished a lot & they are very important to me... They are my pillar of strength when the going get tough but they are also my source of sorrows too... Why do I contradict myself?

The former is true because whenever I experience setbacks and dilemmas, I told myself that such incidents occured before and therefore I should be matured and experienced enough to handle the situations...

But the latter also stands because I the person who cling on to the past very tightly... Whenever I think of the past, it can be a torment to see that a friend had changed so drastic... Why is it that friends of yesteryear have become total strangers of today? The fond memories and the things that we had done before... are they worthless? Why can't things be like before?

Have been feeling very nostalgic these few days cos something triggered back the fond memories that I had had during my secondary school days, which is the most important part of my life journey... so many things which seemed to fade away with time suddenly flooded my mind... How I wish that time would revert back to the old days again... I really yearn to undergo that wonderful experience once again and also to correct the mistakes that I had made in the past... Of course, this is virtually impossible... virtually impossible...

Carpenter - Yesterday Once More

When I was young
I'd listen to the radio
Waitin' for my favorite songs
When they played I 'd sing along
It made me smile

Those were such happy times
And not so long ago
How I wondered where they'd gone
But they're back again
Just like a long lost friend
All the songs I loved so well

Every sha la la la
Every wo oh wo oh
Still shines
Every shing a ling a ling
That they're startin' to sing's
So fine

When they get to the part
Where he's breakin' her heart
It can really make me cry
Just like before
It's yesterday once more

Lookin' back on how it was
In years gone by
And the good times that I had
Makes today seem rather sad
So much has changed

It was songs of love that
I would sing to then
And I'd memorize each word
Those old melodies
Still sound so good to me
As they melt the years away

Every sha la la la
Every wo oh wo oh
Still shines
Every shing a ling a ling
That they're startin' to sing's
So fine

All my best memories
Come back clearly to me
Some can even make me cry
Just like before
It's yesterday once more
