12dec2010 - I'm sentimental, so I walk in the rain

(I posted this on Facebook last night when I could not sleep. And btw, I really didn't sleep. Just thought I'll keep a copy of it here, since this is close to heart.)

I know I should be sleeping now but somehow my mind's wide awake. It's been a fabulous week. The entire year has been rather intense. And now the time has finally come for me to pause, stop and take a deep breath. Go out, sleep late, be happy without feeling guilty. Time doesn't hold me prison now. At least until next year.

How strange it's almost 2011. Seems only yesterday that we entered the millennium with some fanfare predictions of Armageddon. I'm not even sure how these ten years went by. Perhaps because the joys and pains kept up their distractions. Have they? Or have I just rushed through the decade, a little lost? I've always wanted this crossroad to come. I wanted to prove to myself. A lot of things. And now that I've arrived, it just feels funny. And good.

Nevermind if I'm an idiot. Nevermind if I'm clueless. I'm here. Now. Willing to leave my pride at the door.

Shared this song long time ago on Facebook. But loving it again tonight.

Here's to all our longings and sentimental feelings.

I'm sentimental

So I walk in the rain

I've got some habits

Even I can't explain

Go to the corner

I end up in Spain

Why try to change me now

I sit and daydream

I've got daydreams galore

Cigarette ashes

There they go on the floor

Go away weekends

Leave my keys in the door

Why try to change me now

Why can't I be more conventional

People talk

People stare

So I try

But they can't be

Cos I can't see

My strange little world

Just go passing me by

So let people wonder

Let them laugh

Let them frown

You know I'll love you

Till the moon's upside down

Don't you remember

I was always your clown

Why try to change me now

Happy birthday dearest hui!
