the past.

i'm now listening to music by Motion City Soundtrack. it's funny how it reminds me strongly of my o levels. like the morning before i sat for my a and e maths papers i settled comfortably on the sofa listening to their songs with maths practice papers lying everywhere in my living room. while i moved to the beat, i was doing the ten year series.
i remember those days of being cooped up at home studying for what seemed to be the toughest paper ever, for that moment in time. nothing else really mattered more than the paper i would be sitting for that afternoon.
basically, their songs took me through o levels. so whenever i listen to their music, i can smell, taste and feel o levels. so alive, so near. listening to the music you've heard in the past is like traveling back in time when they make you indulge in reminiscence.
like songs i used to listen when i was really down and broken, only brings the negative memories back.


speaking about the past, i met my childhood friend today. we exchanged greetings. it's been such a long time that the what-we-used-to-be "sisters" has degraded to "friendship" and over time our "friendship" has probably been reduced to only an "acquaintance".
it seems hard to move up again. i wish for the past where we could talk with one with no walls or barriers, gossip a little, share stories or even have small quarrels which would blow over very quickly.

treasure every moment of our lives, for each moment will never be the same again.
hmm...cliche, huh?
