Did I ever tell you how much I like the MIDI on Karen's(a5a) blog? It reminds me of sweetness, of childhood, of nostalgia.

Let me tell you about a girl named CL. She was my sister's classmate back in primary school, so I was two years younger than her. She used to come over to our old house a lot, because her mom was working, so my mom helped to look after her. So I didn't really like her, 'cos I thought she was a bit hypocritical and always trying to curry-favour my mom. My mom thought she was quite a nice girl, so maybe my dislike for her was a result of jealousy. Anyway, there was this one day, where she was jumping on my sister's bed, and my sister and I have never ever jumped on our beds before, because it's unhygenic. So my sister was telling her to stop jumping, but CL didn't listen. I got quite annoyed and indignant at her lack of respect for other people's property, so I went, "Can you stop jumping on the bed? Your parents never teach you manners, is it?" Okay, it was harsh and anyone would've gotten angry at my words, but the thing was, that vindictive girl went to hide behind the desk in the study room and cry. And it was much more worst than scolding me or quarrelling with me, because she told her mom and my mom what I said, and because she was crying, my mom forced me to call up CL's mom and apologise. I was like, WTF?! Okay, not WTF cos I didn't know about WTF back then, but I was really angry.

Okay, anyway, that's not the point. The point is, CL's favourite song back then was this, and I realise that it really is quite a sweet song.

I finally found someone
That knocks me off my feet
I finally found the one
That makes me feel complete
It started over coffee
We started out as friends
It's funny how from simple things
The best things begin

This time is different
And it's all because of you
It's better than it's ever been
'Cause we can talk it through
My favouite line was
"Can I call you sometime"
It's all you had to say
To take my breath away

This is it, oh I finally found someone
Someone to share my life
I finally found the one
To be with every night
'Cause whatever I do
It's just got to be you
My life has just begun
I finally found someone

Did I keep you waiting? I didn't mind
I apologise, baby that's fine
I would wait forever just to know you were mine

You know I love your hair
Are you sure it looks right?
I love what you wear
Isn't it too tight?
You're exceptional
I can't wait for the rest of my life

This is it, oh I finally found someone
Someone to share my life
I finally found the one
To be with every night
'Cause whatever I do
It's just got to be you
My life has just begun
I finally found someone
And whatever I do
It's just got to be you
My life has just begun
I finally found someone

This was back in the days of Spice Girls and London. It's by Bryan Adams by the way. Lovely, lovely song.

Something very funny and cute happened today, that lifted up my spirits. On the way home in my dad's car, I happened to see this kid in those tiny school buses looking at me. I waved at her, and her whole face immediately lit up and she waved back. And kept waving, and excitedly told her friend that someone was waving at her. She was really cute; she had those Harry-Potter spectacles, and was probably about Primary 3 or something.

Shakira is super hot!
