A good number of my readers out there are aware I'm leavin the country soon... I've got plans, but I'll talk about those later...

For the past few weeks I've been having mixed thoughts, ideas, recollections of awesome times.. The past few years I spent in KL have been memorable for me in more ways than I can imagine, and even though its impossible, I'd like to extend my gratitude to everyone who contributed to makin my experience here a memorable one..

I tell myself to look ahead towards the future that beckons, n hopefully opportunities will present themselves all around.. And then there's this other side of me that regrets leaving KL and everyone I've grown accustomed to over the past 5 yrs, regrets that I'll have to start all over again in a completely new environment...

To be honest I really dont know what to think of everything that's been happening around me lately..

To sum it all up, there's a song whose lyrics really summarize wut I'm generally feeling these days:

Look at this photograph
Every time I do it makes me laugh
How did our eyes get so red?
And what the hell is on Joey’s head?

This is where I grew up
I think the present owner fixed it up
I never knew we ever went without
The second floor is hard for sneakin’ out

This is where I went to school
Most of the time had better things to do
Criminal record says I broke in twice
I must’ve done it half a dozen times

I wonder if it’s too late
Should I go back and try to graduate
Life’s better now than it was back then
If I was them, I wouldn’t let me in

Every memory of looking out the back door
I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
It’s hard to say
It’s time to say it
Goodbye, Goodbye
Every memory of walking out the front door
I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for

It's hard to say
It’s time to say it
Goodbye, Goodbye

Remember the old arcade
Blew every dollar that we ever made
The cops hated us hangin’ out
They say somebody went and burned it down

We used to listen to the radio
And sing along with every song we’d know
We said someday we’d find out how it feels
To sing to more than just the steering wheel

Kim’s the first girl I kissed
I was so nervous that I nearly missed
She’s had a couple of kids since then
I haven’t seen her since God knows when

I miss that town
I miss their faces
You can’t erase
You can’t replace it
I miss it now
I can’t believe it
So hard to stay
Too hard to leave it
If I could relive those days
I know the one thing that would never change

Look at this photograph
Every time I do it makes me laugh
Every time I do it makes me

We should thank artists for portraying what we can't portray on our own.

Hope your trip goes well. :)
