*[[ Keep The Faith ]]*

I'm listening to Bon Jovi's Keep The Faith song. Such a nice and moving song. I love the flow of the song especially the bass line. I still remember when I've fallen in love with the band, it was around 94 or 95 was it. That was the day when Brunei just experienced cable TV with programs like Channel V and MTV and the rest of the Star TV programs. So I saw their music video for the song Always and liked it. Then I went to the music store to find their album on the cassette cause hey cassette was like the iPod of the early to late 90s you know, and sadly I didn't get to find their album instead I bought Metallica's Black album lol. But yeah I finally found their album but it was their album These Days which is one of my favourite album. I just love that album that I always listen to it every morning when my mom drove me to and back from school.

I really missed the 90's so much. I missed my childhood days. I remember me and my siblings were having this water warfare right behind our flat with our neighbours brandishing Super Soaker rifles and wetting each others out for the whole Sunday. There's also the weekly bicycle race from the steep slope of road right between the houses of our neighbours up to the junction of the road beside my flat. I remember I raced using my bicycle with 2 mini-wheels attached. I was still learning how to cycle that time and I got the lead but I ended up going towards the drain and fell there and cried.

When it was Eidulfitri festivities, it was the best. I remember decorating and fixing the whole living room before Eidulfitri was the best. Playing firecrackers and fireworks during the night with the neighbours. Blasting rockets and spinning fireworks on the plank. I remember mom was the only one who dared to light the fuse for the chinese firecrackers and the dangerous firebombs haha. The festive visits was also warming and during the first day we would travel to Seria and sleepover at my cousin's place and we played fireworks during midnight before going to bed.

Ahh.. Memories.. I really love my childhood days. Who doesn't, right? I wish I can relived those days again. If only there is a technology that can record our memories and keep it for viewing in later years, that would be awesome. That reminds me of the movie Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within, where in the movie they have this Dream Catcher/Recorder device, it was used to record your dreams during your sleep. Quite handy, I wonder if there are any under development. The possibilities of newer technologies in the future, who knows we might have one, probably Japan haha.

Anyways enough of me being nostalgic, this photo of me taken by girlfriend, Nabilah HJ. A silhouette of myself, the natural effects of fog on the lens and perfect background of the South China Sea along the rocky shores of Tungku Beach with the strong sea breeze during sunset, very perfect!
