小幸运

A big thank you Charis and Jocelyn. These two girls sang their hearts out during an impromptu K session in the small confines of my trusty rusty new-but-old Nissan.

And created a timewarp earworm in my head.

We went through the hottest song of the season, Hebe's 小幸运, and then S.H.E, and a few more, but we kept bouncing back to S.H.E.

By the time I dropped Jocelyn off at her ULU Sengkang house, we've gone through 3/4 of S.H.E's repertoire. I'm serious.

So I'm now on a train bound for Memory Lane, which I'll just indulge for a little while. Blame it on the movie, which I conveniently got from Charis. It wasn't quite 那些年，and I could never be that lead girl because frankly, I couldn't afford going to the salon for hair treatments at that age and with that hair, but still, it did evoke some wonderful memories from the days of youth. And crushes. And likes. And "can't believe I fell in love with that guy" kind of thoughts.

While the song that's the title of this post plays. On repeat.

Thanks ah, Charis.

I'm trying to understand the song as I go along.

I think it should be a reflective piece, after a break up, looking back at the better times of a relationship? And then accepting the break up while still being able to cherish the moments of it, being able to appreciate the good side of the other party and knowing that whoever loves next, will be really blessed to have them.

I think lar, my Chinese is not that good.

OR

It's about realising that you don't want to let go but you did, so too late already. So there's nothing left to do but remember all the good things about them and their experiences and then to say they'll be a blessing to the next person.

Well, no matter which it is, it is still a very beautiful song.

And the movie made me cry buckets. Although I found it a little creepy for the male lead to be smiling constantly.... he might be trying to give a new dimension to his character though. Okok, the editor in me is trying to analyze the film- staappphhhh.

Alright now, I guess once I get sick of it I'll be ready to move right to Future Road.

On a last note, you think it's appropriate to play this song at my wedding or not, ah?
