One minute i was laughing so much watching the video of us (from Kohyee's blog) happily singing a Sunday school action song in winter 2006, the next minute my heart sank so low that i nearly shed a tear thinking back what we used to share together and finally realized that those moment were forever gone. This feeling keep coming back to me lately, that nothing ever really last. Its like the song from Kelly Clarkson
"You wonder what went wrong, Everything Changes, Happy then jaded, always a different song Playing in your head just when you think you've got it down Out of nowhere you realize its a different music playing now" ~One minute
All of us are singing a different song now, scattered all around the world, moving on with our own life. It makes me wonder do we still have the chance to sing together just like those days. Whenever Lorna plays a song in Chatham's living room on Sunday night, all of us will start to surround the old piano together and sang our hearts out. In between, door bell rang and someone will rush to get the door; more people will join in to sing, some were even humming together while preparing dinner in the kitchen.
This whole image was so vivid yet nostalgic in my mind.
Saying good bye was never easy, as i'm getting older, its getting harder and harder. cuz i know everytime i've spoken the two words, it takes away a piece of me together with the person. I am resolved to not saying the 'good bye' this time, instead i'll try my best to keep our relationship alive no matter how different is the song we sing and how far we are separated from each other.
Sorry for not able to say good bye, cuz you are too precious to let go.

Well I finally come to visit you in your new home! Will come back again and spend a bit longer time with you....and have a cuppa tea and chat.....Susan
sweet memory!!!
did i mention that it's hartington not chatham?
we will sing it again...dun worry...next time when i go back, we shall gather all the same ppl (except those in china and uk) to sing it again....no difference, only with more style :)
u said, as u grow older, saying goodbye is getting harder, but for me, it's gettin easier....it's the reassurance that we will see each other sometime again...whether it's here or in KOH<--kingdom of heaven (yeah! my name)
anyway, take care...will be back soon :)
me is definitely the opposite, cuz i think when i'm young, i am more carefree and have less attachements. the older i am, the harder it is for me to let go these attachments. Anyway, will be waiting for the singing session to be realized one day!
