End of the road

I was just working on my lappie on this saturday noon when Boyz II Men's End of The Road came out on Lite FM.

Suddenly I was brought back to 1992 when this song was still a craze (it came out in 1991). I was in a tour bus with other exchange programme students somewhere in KL in between our engagements when the boy I had a crush on took the guide's microphone and started singing this song. Boy I was (quietly) elated! We shared a few special moments after that but we were only 16 then and we had the whole world still to explore. But apparently after the programme, whenever he met girls from my school, he will ask about me and send salam. So every now and then, I will get random salam from some seniors and juniors.

After school, I went to the UK and he went to the US and both had our hearts captured and broken several times in between but with the advancement of technologies, we managed to reconnect and kept in touch until maybe a couple of years ago when he suddenly gone off social media. I wonder why.

1992 was 27 years ago!

Long throwback

While clearing up my draft folder, I came across an unpublished entry containing the above pic from 2004. Didn't realised blogger could keep very old drafts but lost more recent comments and published photos!

Anyhow, that was a blurry and confusing period. I was waiting for my divorce to be finalised in that month and at the same time got to know a nice chap just by chance. He came all the way from Penang to take me out to this League Cup final but the game was so dull that we ended up having a picnic inside the stadium instead. We had a good night out, I got to know him better but that was it. I wasn't ready for anything more.

I hope, that nice chap has found his life partner and is leading a happy life. I know I am.

The American Dream (Part II)

I am feeling slightly melancholic today although there are thousand and one things to do. So I might as well be 'productive' here instead.

These pics were taken at Yosemite National Park during our US trip back in 2015 (time flies damn fast!). This is one of the places that I would love to visit again, with my beloved the next time round. Such a breath-takingly beautiful and peaceful place to be!

A nice market to get huge, fresh and supersweet plums, grapes and my favourite, cherries.
