Slow down, you crazy child.

Assalamualaikum and hello.

A song that brings me back to one of the movies I loved in highschool years.
A song that urged me to actually go to the place mentioned in the lyrics.

Vienna, 2009. Tembam, hideous boots, ugly tshirt. Yet so blissfully happy.

It was on my playlist all along, and as I'm typing this away, it's blurted out on my speakers. Funny how songs can act like a time machine, bringing you back to the time they blended in your memories. Thank you Billy Joel, because of you, I ticked Vienna on my winter trip plan 2009.

"You've got your passion, you've got your pride,
but don't you know that only fools are satisfied?
Dream on, but don't imagine they'll all come true,
When will you realize, Vienna waits for you?"


p/s:  I'm starting to hate weddings, because I couldn't attend any one of 'em. And while I'm stuck somewhere Irish, people suddenly decided to get married while I'm gone. And even worse, married couple decided that this is a good season to pop out babies. My extended family welcomes two newborns recently, so I guess I'll have a bunch of cute lil kiddos calling me Maklong Ika when I get back. I miss home so very badly.
Anyways, I'm happy for all you soon-to-be newlyweds. May God's blessings be upon you :)
