Happy Birthday...

I never really celebrate my birthdays. I think birthday is a special occassion, but I never like to make it a big event. Because I know that my birthday wish, simple as it is, will never come true.

As my birthday is on a weekday and I'm expecting a very hectic work week, I thought of doing something to make myself happy last Saturday, or at least try to do so. I ventured down to Wala Wala.

In my failure to persuade unfeeling hearts to head down to Holland Village, I manage to find a few like-minded friends to be there. I left Wala after the second set. It wasn't that I did not enjoy myself. On the contrary, the reason was, I was already contented.

And I like that taste in my mouth as I glided down the staircase. And I smiled as I glanced out from within the cab. It wasn't a smile of happiness, definitely was it not bitterness, well...maybe a little bitter. It was just a smile.

Thanks for being there.


"Wherever You Will Go" by The Calling
So lately, I've been wonderin
Who will be there to take my place
When I'm gone, you'll need love
To light the shadows on your face
If a great wave should fall
It would fall upon us all
And between the sand and stone
Could you make it on your own

[Chorus:]
If I could, then I would
I'll go wherever you will go
Way up high or down low
I'll go wherever you will go

And maybe, I'll find out
The way to make it back someday
To watch you, to guide you
Through the darkest of your days
If a great wave should fall
It would fall upon us all
Well I hope there's someone out there
Who can bring me back to you

[Chorus]

Runaway with my heart
Runaway with my hope
Runaway with my love

I know now, just quite how
My life and love might still go on
In your heart and your mind
I'll stay with you for all of time

[Chorus]

If I could turn back time
I'll go wherever you will go
If I could make you mine
I'll go wherever you will go
