1/2 year later..

It's been 1/2 year I've stopped blogging

Well, I found no purpose in it, I would rather have a friend to confide my thoughts with.

Hmm...

All The Way













The 2 photos was taken earlier tonight in Jalan Sultan Ahmad Shah (known affectionately by Penangites as "Millionaire Row")

As I set up my camera, Light FM played one of my two all time favorite songs a duet by Celine Dion and Frank Sinatra - All The Way. And off course, whose heart wouldn't be touched by this view and that serenading music?

All the way.

I came to know this song when I was 16, year 1999, and only fell in love with it years later in my second year Uni while watching "The night we called it a day" in Piccadilly Arcade.

Well, those were the days of adolescence and where emotions are most unstable. I can't really recall anything significant about that movie (lame actually), but paying 3 bucks to watch it alone, passing my lonely night in town, and only a handfuls of patrons inside.

But it was when I got to know the lyrics, and trying to find the meaning behind its lyrics as time goes on. (Which is why I love good old classic music, I guess they stood the test of time).

Well, I its normal to like a person, but it takes is the courage to go deeper. It's a tiring thing to have sleepless nights, it exhausting to have heart burning, its heart braking when facts are far from anticipation.

I rather not go through these and have good sleep at night instead.

But then, will people agree, they'll have to take the chance to know what's there in a deeper level, knowingly there is a high possibility that outcome might not be desirable and disappointing?

p.s. But I sleep peacefully no matter what, understanding that what matters more is now and today.

The other song I liked is Nat King Cole's Fly Me To The Moon. (I love deep voiced classic singers)

Below is how Piccadilly Arcade looks like in 1958, many decades before I first step foot there in 21st century. Murray Street looks very different today from what it was, but the Piccadilly Arcade building remains intact.
