"Inspirational songs of my life" is a title that wirte basically to just describe songs of my life. Be it chinese or english songs, they are something thats hold the key to the different era of my life. Some songs allow want to feel crazy, perhaps just turn on into a very hyperactive mode, while there are also songs that at times, turn down the mood, allowing one to look back, at those memories.
For me, both english and chinese song struck me in my entire lifetime now, for instants, during my childhood time, during primary 5 & 6, I entered the music of the famous boyband, Westlife. Having many nice tunes from, "my love, I lay my love on you" etc.... These were the very first english songs that i had listened. Not to say, very popular at that point of time, so I was quite influenced under my friends at that time. Soon, I was being mesmerized, by not only the song but paying attention to the lyrics, every word of it. Perhaps, thats how I really got addicted to such lovely music. During at a point of time, it somehow brought me back to where I used to be so young and innocence, the period where I was living at the eastside, which I called it my second home. Those days, where i would visit the beach, cycle and even had some family gathering at the beach bungalow. During that time, Westlife were the music of my time and my very first songs of my life.
Soon, there were quite a huge popularity to chinese music, which occur during my secondary school life. I was firstly introduced to this group of 3, formed by 3 girls, they were know as S.H.E, back then they were not so high profilic group, however just by their first two albums, I was really drowning into the music. So there were also Jay Chou, Linkin Park and many more, I was really so into music that at times, they were somehow my friends, my companion and whenever i was down or happy, they would always play a significant role there. recalling back, I do not own a desktop like my other friends, thus I was looking around for CDs and saving money to play it on my radio. Although, I got my everything later then anyone, I still really miss those times, where I would go home, sitting down on my chair, listening to the beautiful musics.
I would like to say, there are no really favourite songs to me, as there are quite a couple to it, and really depending to which era of my life you are talking about. For primary school, well it's My Love by Westlife, which signify those fond memories of my younger days, friendship bond in fact. Secondary school time, there were quite a number, and most of them are chinese and most of them were emotional songs of my life, thinking back, there were both positive and negative thoughts back then. Right now, I'm with desktop, thus, I got more favourite songs, so I am more than contended.
Songs, music and lyrics, they are something that combine and blend well together, to form up into a formula, They are something that allow me to travel back to the particular era. A good song, allow one to really inmerse in it, drown to it, craved more for it or at times even caused one to feel so touched that the drop tears to show our appreciation. They play a huge role when one is down alone, they are like friends, there for you, cheering you up at times, and sometimes naughty at times, causing you cry for instant, thinking about past negative memories. But they are usually something for you to past time quickly.
I'm sitting alone, with my cup of hot tea. On the radio, pick up a random piece of CD to play, soon came by a music, closing my eyes slowly, I feel every single word ringing into my ears. Picked up the cup of hot tea, then I had a sip of it, placing it down slowly. I continued to be mesmerize by the song, A few minutes past, however, I instantly press the repeat button, wanting to listen it once again, never had I really felt bored listening it again, Soon, I started to think back, that one can never be young forever, cherishing it rather than losing it, I treasure my time even more now. However, not to be afraid, music is the key to my past, something that is so important, that I will never lose it. It is safely kept in my heart, not letting it slip away.
My next entry shall hold off for the moment, will be back soon again=)

"A childhood friend" someone, special, irreplacable. Knowing him near nine years, the longest in fact. One who understand me, one who I feel will always be there for me. A true friend who I know since primary school, From the worst, to the better. This little story here, shall be dedicated to him.
Known him since the age of eleven, we were in the same class. However, at first, we didn't really talk or really get together as a group, instead, he was with his friends, while I was too with my group of friends. It was like we were in the same class, but we seldom really talk, but normal classmates. Till the start of our final year in primary. I started to join his group, slowly got involve in their activities. Soon we share something common, which was called soccer and we started really into this sports. After schools, we would play soccer and often stayed back late in school. Not long, I found out they also would play soccer during weekends. But, at that time, my parents were quite strict, thus i wasn't able to really join them. Something until now, which I somehow regret, wished I could be there joining them. But never will it be able to happen.
Time really flies, as soon as you were enjoying great moments, without you even knowing. We were having our Primary School Leaving Examinations(PSLE). I remembered something very memorable, once we were play block catching, although it was lame, but we had nothing to do at that time, but quite fun though, But we were to noisy i guessed and affected the everyone living there. Thus they made a complain to or school cause they recongised our uniforms. Of all time, the rest went to buy drinks at the near-by shop, leaving the both of us behind looking after their bags and belongings. Then came by to teachers from our school, then they took down our names and tell us to leave home immediately. At that moment, we were just joking about it but somehow at the same time afraid they might call our parents. In the end nothing happened, but my chinese teacher sacasticly said that yesterday, there were two students caught not going home after school outside, but he never reveal who they are. Deep down, we knew that we were the two heroes.
Writing hundreds of lines, creating troubles together, those were the days. Soon we departed and went to separate secondary school. At first, thought that we won't contact each other anymore, until i realise that, he was quite a good friend to me at that moment, so decided to carry on to hang out with him. It started off when I first join them in their weekend soccer, then soon I was there every weekend. Thats how I really get to know him better. He thought me alot about soccer, even somehow protect me like a brother, taught me many things so as I won't get bully. At that time, he was like someone important to me, like a friend I couldn't afford to lose. A friend who I will look to when I had trouble.
During later years, around secondary three till now, we were soon going out often together. From pooling to clubbing. Everything, including how to woo girls, he was there for me to advice. He was much matured than me by then, or I was just beginning to get curious about everything. He became someone, whom I know form a easily hot tempered man, to amuch cool headed and quieter person. However, for me from a coward, I hatched out and became a even hyper active guy. I start to irritate him once in a while and sometimes he would be pissed. However I knew that, no matter how angry we were at each other, we never really get into each other face as he knew i was stubborn, while I understand that I do need to give in to him.
My childhood, best closest friend. Never really forgotten those days, from how I really knew you till now still in contact. There are many things that I can't write out to describe about you, but deep down I knew, regretting was the last thing in my mind. I never imagine that you were my best friend, but you knew me inside out, from my character to the way I behaves. My friend, brother, you were always there when needed, wonder in the next lifetime, will I still be able to talk so much to you, joke, cry, laugh. You are special and inspirational figure to me. Maybe when I'm gone first next time, I shall tell you that you were my best childhood friend, one and only, who stormed through almost everything with me. Hope that in this lifetime, we shall have as many time as possible for each other. By then you will be with your family and me too having a big gathering together.
My next entry titled"Inspirational songs of my life" will debut 16th Febuary 2009
