How Long Does It Take For Pain to Go Away?

Wah lau eh!?!

I just came back from Kallang Leisure Park K-Box. Really regret going there. It's not because the place no good or the food no good. Actually, the buffet was quite good lor - S$ 30.00 ++ got Japanese food, got Western - mai hiam liao lah... The reason why I so emo is because of a song I sang just now.

It's by called "你的背包" Eason Chan (陳奕迅) - a really nice song that I liked.

As I read the lyrics when I sang the song, I start to remember things that I thought I have forgotten already after so many years...

一九九五年, 我们在机场的车站
你借我 而我不想归还
那个背包 载满纪念品和患难
还有摩擦留下的图案
你的背包 背到现在还没烂
却成为我身体另一半

千金不换 它已熟悉我的汗
它是我肩膀上的指环
背了六年半 我每一天陪它上班
你借我 我就为你保管
我的朋友 都说 它旧得很好看
遗憾是它已与你无关

你的背包 让我走得好缓慢
终有一天陪著我腐烂
你的背包 对我沉重的審判
借了东西为什么不还

I can't remember what I was doing in 1995 but I remembered my ex-girlfriend gave me this silver ring when we were in Sec 4 that I hang at my pencil case. Looking at it now, it's bent and out of shape - only I can remember how many years it spent with me. It has become a part of my pencil case, a part of me liao...

I remember my birthday some years back, my mother bought me a gold ring. She say is to replace the ring that I hang at my pencil case; I told her it's ok and I don't want to replace it. She doesn't know that this ring is special.

Then this sentence in the song made me cry: I waited for this girl for SIX YEARS - just like in the song; during this six years, the out-of-shape silver ring followed me to school, to NS, to work, every single day and whoever saw it say that it's a bent ring, can throw away but I just smiled even though the person who gave me the silver ring wouldn't even give a damn if I threw it away.

Never expect I can become so emo after so many years... I went to the car park and as I was about to go home, as if God wanted to let me cry unnoticed, it started to rain...

你的背包 对我沉重的審判 借了东西为什么不还...
