and music lives on.

Suddenly I kind of miss this thing, the Jukebox.

It used to be around like, everywhere. In foodcourts, in shopping malls. I used to love sitting in front of it, looking at what the next song could be. Cheena Piang songs like, Andy Lau, Faye Wong and Jacky Cheung etc. I like to sit in front of it, singing along to the melodies that make me happy.

Slowly but surely, it moved out of our lives, when radio and mp3s became more and more ubiquitous. I didn’t really notice its disappearance until today, when I suddenly miss it. There are too many things in life that we take for granted and don’t realise its importance and value until it is lost. It makes me think. At least, I know that the jukebox has made a difference in my life, it did a big part in putting music into my life. To me, it lives on, even though I don’t see it around anymore.

To think about it, this is the same with people. There are some people that was always there, helping along the way. We always thought they will always be there. But is that the case? There are too many friends that I have forgotten and let them pass me. But nevertheless, the feeling of being remembered is awesome, way too awesome to describe. Its like, the first thing you read in the morning is a text message that says “I miss you ):”.

I just hope that I have made a difference in somebody’s life. Was talking to Chris and Jasmine on the train home last year, and this thing that Chris talked about is so impactful that I still remember it to this day.

“Look at anyone in this cabin. If anyone of them didn’t exist, the world we know now will change. We may not even exist in the first place.”

It takes at maximum 6 people to link up two individuals, as I have learnt from “The Concerto”. It means that everyone is linked to everyone. Be it between me and Obama, or you to Mao Zedong, or Kim Jong-il to your dad. At the maximum, 6 persons, to link both up. How lovely is that!

Tell me, what difference did I make to your life, and I will tell you how you made a difference to mine. (:
