this is one of the oldies that i am obsessed with recently. the theme of this song is 'childhood'. i always feel very sentimental whenever i listen to this song. both the melody and th lyrics trigger a lot of memories and thoughts in my mind. the description of childhood is so apt that even people, like myself, who didnt live in the era of which whhen the song was written, will always feel touched by it. that is what classics are for. please read the lyrics below while you are listening to the song, think you will draw some sentiments from the lyrics as well... the parts which i bolded and enlarged are the parts which i feel most strongly about. do enjoy.
have opened my twitter account quite some time ago, but didnt really have time to play around with it until tonight... twitter is really quite fun man, it will be more fun if you have more followers and pple to follow. anw, i have discovered some interesting things about some nba stars using twitter.
what i did was, i just searched for some nba stars at the top of my mind and found that some of them own twitter and a few are actually very active in twitter. for example, shaq has 1 million fans following him, thk he is the most popular nba star in twitter...
another thing i found is rather intersting. i found an exchange between the notoriously bellicose rockets star, Ron Artest and nuggets' star, Chris Anderson - The Birdman, who is famous for his tattoos.
the exchange goes like this: lol
Then i also went to brandon roy's page and discovered that he is not as decent as what he seems. he is following quite a number of porn stars on twitter.. does that suggest anything? haha... here they are:
last but not least, i have wrote something to my idol aaron brooks and wished him good luck for the upcoming game 7. hope he replies!

the past always seems so perfect and tempting. it is almost like an utopian world because all the bad things and whatsoever in the past are over; no matter how bad the memories were, the fact that they were already over provides us a sense of comfort, which is why i have such a strong inclination to rewind the clock and relive the past. this feeling intensifies whenever i listen to those classic oldies. it really brings me a sort of utopian feeling, which is so tranquil, calm, and nostalgic. the drum beats of the 80/90s, the style of vocal projection then, the wonderful lyrics which are so meaningful and artistic that lyricists of today can never emulate, and lastly, the unique kind of 'rusty quality' of past recordings, all these make me feel so attracted to the oldies. they just bring so much a sense of familiarity and closeness, which is really a good place for emotional reprieve to temporarily extricate myself out of the current state of mind so as to recharge myself for any upcoming challenges...

i suddenly feel very tired tonight, my usual enthusiasm and motivation in studying (which have been accumulating over the past few weeks) have mysteriously disappeared into nowhere.not only that, i am feeling a bit down too. the sense of discontent towards some issues suddenly resurfaced. i think its all triggered by the immense amount of academic pressure and high expectations. i think feeling down occasionally like this is normal. once it is over, i will become stronger and more prone to this kind of emotional reprieve. i am very confident that it will be over soon.
