Book of Days

This song never fails to bring me back the memories of good old days. Years ago, a sunny afternoon at the old chapel of Presbyterian High School, guests, teachers, students, seniors all waiting in ceremony hall. The song started playing, and at exactly 1min 02s (we did our rehearsals well), the main door opened and one by one, in came the newly prefects. Yes, it’s the Prefect Investiture Ceremony. It’s the day when probational prefects get to be recognized as the real prefects after the badge handling ritual. Well then, true enough, real shit came just right at the same time. But the thing is, till now, I have never walked in a room with so much pride in me like I was at that point of time. Maybe the music helped a little, or maybe it’s because I was much smaller in size then and with the coat and leather shoes, I couldn’t literately feel my feet moving, but I swear I thought I was flowing down the aisle.

Ever since then, whenever I feel despair or a failure, it helps if I were to listen to this song and the emptiness in me just became less empty. I got filled up with strength and power again. I can do better. I want to get the flowing feeling again. (We all need to have something to hold on to sometimes, don’t we?) The best part is, I will want to have my friends experiencing it with me. I wish they can know what I am really talking about just because it’s something good. But till then, I hope they can settle with this wonderful song.

Time - It’s a pretty dumb thing

Somebody has to be "lonely" for the word to exist.
If it were not you, then it would be me.
Emptiness gives room for silence,
For some reasons, it’s a cool experience.

The truth is, in life, you get lost and lose sometimes.
Your friends, your hopes and dreams,
They left you to spend alone with your time.
And before you know it, you are actually enjoying it.

Cos time is a pretty dumb thing,
It lets you have a peace of mind.
Cos time is a pretty dumb thing,
It lets you restore your wounded pride.
Cos time is a pretty dumb thing,
It lets you stick with it cos you have no choice.
Cos time is a pretty dumb thing,
It lets you do anything with it cos it has no choice.

It’s ok to be lonely rather than busy and if anyone asks,
“I have got time.”
