I Heard This Song Today And I Thought Of You

 I Heard This Song Today And I Thought Of You

Have you ever experienced this?

A whiff of scent or a song that you have not heard for a long time, suddenly comes on and immediately transports you back to a place, a time, a person, or a memory that you have long forgotten?

Like stepping into a time machine.

A memory that was so fresh as if it just happened yesterday. 

Or an emotion so raw and powerful that makes you wonder does time really heal?

It's astounding how one song can trigger so much.

Why does music evoke those specific memories and takes us back to that time?

I was listening to these songs the other day and it reminds me of this young girl who I haven't thought about for a very long time.

She was naive and stupid but full of hope for life and the future, for what the world has to offer. Always being open to new experiences, new people.

Mengejar cinta, cita dan harapan. Chasing love, hopes, and dreams.

She has so many hopes and dreams for herself, of things she wants to achieve.

You know, like most girls that age, she dreams of a perfect husband, marriage, and kids by a certain age. She even picked out names for her future children.

At one point in time, she really did think she has it all figured out.

How naive.

I miss her zest for life, her enthusiasm, her naivety. But most of all, her romanticism and belief in love. 

That love conquers all. That in her search for this love, she often forgets how to love herself first and broke her heart over and over again.

Where is this girl now?

I miss that young girl. I truly do despite her naivety and stupidity. 

I'm so proud of her. That no matter what happens in her life, no matter how many times she fell, she gets up and tries again.

Always hopeful and making the most of what life throws at her, figuring life lessons along the way, understanding and loving herself better one day at a time. 

The hardest lesson for her probably is learning to let go. To let go of the what-ifs, the could-be, the should-be. To let go of who she thought she should be.  

Where is that girl now?

  1. Ah! That little girl is in all of us (girls)! For me it is the smell of the flowers of a tree called Flame of the Forest that transports me back to my primary school days. Very evocative!

Porn Puaka Di Gym

Tajuk mengundang kontroversi Sis ni bukan apa rajin pergi gym, selain nak bersenam, iols juga suka mencuci mata. Bukan setakat mencuci mata dengan jantan helok (I'm still hoping sebab gym iols pegi tu SENDUU), sis juga suka melihat gegadis yang fefeeling gedik dengan bermacam fesyen di gym tu. Biasanya gegadis newbie ni macam cendawan. Muncul sekejap di kala azam baru masih utuh yakni di awal tahun atau selepas perayaan di mana memasing nak kurus.  Tunggulah 2 bulan kemudian langsung tak nampak batang hidung ataupun buttcheeks. Eh? Sebenarnya salah satu benda Cik Panda nak cerita pasal butt cheeks. Butt cheeks are absolutely NO NO except at the pool or beach when you are in your swimsuit.  Cik Panda tak jealous la uols sebab Cik Panda tak hingin pun nak ada bontot yang jelly welly tu. ZAssssss So hari tu ada sorang minah ni baru 1st time iols nampak kat gym, tengah workout dengan bopren dia la gitu. Pakai sports bra je dengan really short shorts yang menampakkan ...

Kak PONTI!

Letak gamba hantu comel. Iols dah taubat Kawan-kawan yang ada follow CPPS di Instagram tau la perangai iols yang suka letak gambar hantu kat IG story kan? Kadang-kadang iols post kat Whatsapp Story. Kenapa? Saja. Suka-suka. hehe. Seronok tengok reaksi kawan-kawan dan disebabkan tu, ramai manusia yang silent reader/stalker, SO OUT OF THE BLUE, text iols. Buat macam tu barulah they alls timbul kan. Hampeh punya kawan. Tapi jangan risau. Lepas ni weols tak buat dah.  Wakakka. Dah insaf uols. Nak dijadikan cerita, dekat 2 tahun dah CPPS dengan Anne berpindah ke kawasan kediaman baru ni. Dalam 2 tahun ni, memang aman damai la kan kat situ. Privacy, aman tak bising, penduduknya pula jenis tak buat bising. Memang bukan spesis makcik bawang la.  Amannya sampai terserempak dengan orang dalam lif ketika peak hours sahaja.  Ketika berpindah masuk pun, rumah CPPS tu memberikan satu energy yang baik. Maksudnya takde la rasa seram-seram, tak sedap hati gitu ka...

Harmony Valley Retreat Di Janda Baik: Weekend Getaway Yang Mendamaikan

Harmony Valley Retreat Di Janda Baik: Weekend Getaway In Lush Misty Mountain This staycation was what, late last year? Somewhere in November I think, during Deepavali long weekend. Vacation yilek, staycation pun jadilah sis.  Personally, I find that staycation is much more relaxing because you don't have to go through the hassle of planning your itinerary. Most of all, you don't have to go through the stress of traveling. Urghhh, few hours to & fro airport, waiting at the airport, the stress and anxiety of going through immigration and such. Just thinking about it makes me tired. #sisaging So anyway, back to Harmony Valley Retreat. You know la, sis ni suka tempat yang aman, back to nature, nyaman sejuk-sejuk. Untuk lari daripada hiruk pikuk kota metropolitan. And Harmony Valley Retreat is just the perfect place to rejuvenate, recharge & relax. Admittedly, the thing that cemented my decision was this review from a customer "So serene & you can hea...

Sedangkan pantai pun berubah, inikan pula hati manusia.  Gituuuuu. Cik Bear, kawan kepada Cik Meow cakap "Cik Panda tu memang lah cantik, ada body semua tapi tu lah semua lelaki nak kat dia sebab body dia. ha tu lah buat badan lagi."
