Day 48 : One Night Only

Often do we find ourselves having trouble with life, and often do we find ourselves complaining. This post relates to the happiness that still exists, that dreams and wishes do come true. Last weekend provided for me and the basement crew, as well as the mates in Kuching a fabolous night.

Time that reminded us of the many other times.

We talked, we laughed, we sang and we cried. To me, the highlight and peak of this whole weekend was when Ake strummed "Why" and Su blew us away by her vocals.

I was reminded of the past instantaneously. Those days where we sat in the basement, with a beer in one hand and a compromised cigarette in the other, listening to music played from the heart. Music played to ease the pain; music to inspire.

I've waited 2 1/2 years for the moment that I could hear "Why" one more time. All the longing and waiting was well worth the wait.

The weekend made me realise that though time has passed us, there was once a period in time, where individuals came together over beers, talked, played music and weathered through the stormy weather and sunny skies. That at one point in time, where I was wading through the darkness, there were people who stood by me and walked with me. That now, when reality kicks in, I can still reminisce together with them.

Lau, Tong, Boon, Ake, G and Su. Thank you for the amazing weekend. Thank you for reminding me once more.

Though for one night only, just know this weekend lives forever in my memory.

Stay beautiful Kuching. Live every dream.
