Saturday, August 18, 2007 The audience at yesterday's Budak Pantai performance were treated to a big bonus: the chance to enjoy fireworks from the YMCA rooftop. It was one of those wish-you-were-here moments; wish you were with me to feel the magic, the joy and the wonder. And your smile will light up the night sky more brilliantly than all the fireworks in the world. I almost did ask, but I know you wouldn't. Not at the short notice that I had, anyway, of the spare ticket. Although I suspect the length of notice does not matter -- the answer will still be the same. Wait, I was supposed to say that there'll be many other chances in the future, but why does that sound so much like self-consolation/self-deception to me? =( Anyway Budak Pantai rocks because of their showmanship -- no one leaves the performance without laughing. I can see the hard work and thought that goes into each of their performances, and the results are thankfully obvious, so I don't have to say anything more. Don't think of it as a date with me la, because it's not (although I think it'll make a wonderful date), not when there're so many other friends around. But I digress. So for the friends who've just spent the crazy night and crazy morning with me, here's a song that describes us (we're not as old as we claim to be lah, actually) The Corrs - So YoungWe are taking it easyBright and breezy We are living it up Just fine and dandy We are chasing the moon Just running wild and free We are following through Every dream, and every need And it really doesn’t matter that we don’t eat And it really doesn’t matter that we don’t sleep It really doesn’t matter, it really doesn’t matter at all ‘Cause we were so young then We are so young, so young now And when tomorrow comes We’ll just do it all again We are caught in a haze On these lazy summer days We’re spending all of our nights just A-laughing and kissing, yeah No it really doesn’t matter if we don’t sleep No it really doesn’t matter if we don’t sleep It really doesn’t matter at all (x2) And it really doesn’t matter that we don’t eat And it really doesn’t matter that we don’t sleep It really doesn’t matter, it really doesn’t matter at all Maybe, rather than living each day like it was our last, we should live each day like it is our first instead. Because that's precisely what it is: the first day of the rest of our lives. Whereas, if today really was the last day of our lives, we could do stupid without regard for future consequences, the fact is that there is a high likelihood that that is not the case. In order not to have any regrets about the past (which is the most frequently touted reason for living each day like it is the last), it seems to make more sense to make sure, today, that we'll not have any regrets in the future. So yesterday's (and today's) craziness has thrown my remaining schedule all out of whack, and now I have a million and one things to do in 'definitely not enough time' (as compared to 'nearly not enough time'). After all, we'll have many more chances to go crazy and not sleep after I come back (and I fully intend to take advantage of those chances), right? But no regrets, considering that was my last chance this year, and I've satisfied my mahjong craving, Winning Eleven craving, and 'thon-overnight-like-we're-still-young craving all in one night. =D
