starry night.

i've been replaying this song on my playlist very often lately. got my chinese vibe on as i've recently realized my negligence towards my second language. though i speak the language everyday but my lack of writing has left me almost useless in penmanship (by my dad's standards anyways), so i've been writing certain stuff in chinese lately. hopefully all this effort will pay off in me gaining back all of my lost language.

this song is part of the movie soundtrack for starry starry night (it's a mandarin movie if you were wondering) i got a chance to watch that movie again recently and the feeling was really rather different from the first. i guess it was the surroundings and the people that made it different, but it's a really nice movie, so you should definitely watch it!

i would say that the first time i watched this movie, it was a rather surprising and yet oddly comforting moment with someone. i got to know a friend a lot better that day and nowadays when i look back to that very day, i realize how seriously clueless i was back then. the biggest irony would be that i'm always the one having to tell the girls how clueless they are about other stuff. whoever knew i would be the most guilty of this....

sometimes when this song plays on the radio or unexpectedly shuffles out on my playlist, i find myself having the need to stop whatever i'm doing at that moment and just hum along to it. the memories this song brings still makes me smile regardless of place or time. i've always felt that whenever a memory or person is associated with a song, everything about that song changes. it becomes more personal and it has a greater significance to the person.

i've also realized that i've just dedicated an entire post to this one song. and here i am talking about memories that no one else knows of and quietly listening to the past replay in my head again. this song has that effect on me, which until now i cannot really explain....oh well.

so much has changed since that day. but seeing that change is the only constant thing that happens regardless of any entity, it's expected i guess. change is not always a bad thing too right? one thing's for sure and that is even with all this change, i know that day will always remain in my memory because everything about it was truly magical. so no matter what happens in the future, i'll have that one memory i'll always treasure.
