Remembering August '06

Exactly 1 year ago my entire family and I were on vacation at Gold Coast, Australia. Sigh. Has it been that long? Feels like just weeks ago when the cool breeze and warm sun bustled through my foreign body. Hmm..that sounds a little wrong. Heh. Ever since I left Australia I felt as though I left something there. I definitely want to go back someday soon and find it.

Exactly 1 year ago I was preparing to leave the place I called work for the previous 25 months and move on for a 'career' in public relations. I am still reminded on how cowardly I was when I 'handed' in my resignation letter (some say it was 'discovered' by the boss but I'll stick to my story =P). There was definitely something memorable and melancholic about August 2006.

A turning point perhaps? An autumnal feeling despite the mundane equator-isms of Malaysia? Experiencing my quarter life crisis? Little would I know that fast forward 1 year later and I'd have reignited this fetish for photography and be on a small local reality television show and get the kickest ass Nokia at the time.

Nothing much has changed on the ambition part for me though. I still have no idea what I want to do for the rest of my life. Sigh. Time to put on those Gin Blossoms' albums again~

Here I am again August, and you will be leaving pretty soon. See you again in 11 moons.

*Stardust~

And now the purple dusk of twilight time
Steals across the meadows of my heart
High up in the sky the little stars climb
Always reminding me that we're apart

You wander down the lane and far away
Leaving me a song that will not die
Love is now the stardust of yesterday
The music of the years gone by

Sometimes I wonder why I spend
The lonely night dreaming of a song
The melody haunts my reverie
And I am once again with you
When our love was new
And each kiss an inspiration
But that was long ago
Now my consolation
Is in the stardust of a song

Beside a garden wall
When stars are bright
You are in my arms
The nightingale tells his fairy tale
A paradise where roses bloom
Though I dream in vain
In my heart it will remain
My stardust melody
The memory of loves refrain
