Not So Long Ago ...

A trip to the nursery tepi jalan late this afternoon reminded me of a few "gallavantings" that K. Zill and I had quite some time ago when I was in Melaka. Masa tu masing-masing tengah gila-gila nak tanam bunga. Bukannya terer tanam bunga, tapi entah macam mana terjadi hobi sementara lak. I smiled when I saw the kiambang yang kecik-kecik tu. Teringat that the two of us bought some and lastly they grew so fast and so many that we had to throw away some. Lepas tu, ada jugak trips to the nursery just to buy pasu bunga. Lol, we had a lot of fun, walaupun hanya untuk beli pasu bunga and baja. I still keep some pots that I managed to "rescue" when I left Melaka. My dad gave away many of them to my neighbours since there wasn't a lot of space on the lorry when we were shifting the things back to Segamat.
An unsent email also reminded me of this particular person not so long ago. Baru beberapa tahun, tapi rasanya macam dah lama. Reading it made me see how foolish I once was. Though not that young, the email was saved for some unforgotten reasons. It was written with a purpose to apologise. At the same time, it also seeked to clarify and ... to confess. But I didn't send it till the end. I did it my way. Yes, I was crushed at first. But I was glad. At least, I was brave enough to face it. That makes me the winner - in my own way. As Na La told Ren Zai (in the Fireworks), a relationship between a man and a woman is all or nothing. She wants all, if ever she finds "him". I want it too. I want it all. Single or not, I just want it all. If you know what I mean ... *wink*

You've Got a Friend

I deleted the post about EG. Reading it again made me realised that it wasn't how I wanted it to be described. He was a wonderful friend who made me felt special in many simple ways. This one is my fave, dedicated for all the friends who have made me feel special in their own ways. You know who you are ...

When you're down and troubled
and you need some lovin' care
and nothin', nothin' is going right.
Close your eyes and think of me
and soon I will be there
to brighten up even your darkest night.
You just call out my name,
and you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again.
Winter, spring, summer, or fall,
all you have to do is call
and I'll be there...
You've got a friend.
If the sky above you
grows dark and full of clouds,
and that old north wind begins to blow.
Keep your head together and call my name out loud
Soon you'll hear me knocking at your door.
You just call out my name
and you know wherever I am
I'll come running, running, yeah,
to see you again.
Winter, spring, summer or fall
all you have to do is call
and I'll be there, yes I will.
