Look at this photograph,
everytime I do it makes me laugh.
How did our eyes get so red,
and what the hell is on Joey's head.

And this is where I grew up,
I think the present owner fixed it up.
I never knew we ever went without,
the second floor was high for sneaking out.
And this is where I went to school,
most of the time had better things to do.
Criminal record says I broke in twice,
I must have done it half a dozen times.
I wonder if its too late,
should I go back and try to graduate.
Life's better now than it was back then,
if I was them I wouldn't let me in!

Every memory of lookin' out the back door,
I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor,
It's hard to say it, time to say it,
Good-bye good-bye.
Every memory of walkin' out the front door,
I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for,
It's hard to say it, time to say it,
Good-bye good-bye.

We used to listen to the radio,
and sing along to every song we'd know.
We said someday we'd find out how it feels,
to sing to more than just the steering wheel.
Kim's the first girl I kissed,
I was so nervous that I nearly missed.
She's had a couple of kids since then,
I haven't seen her since God knows when!

Every memory of lookin' out the back door,
I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor,
It's hard to say it, time to say it,
Good-bye good-bye.
Every memory of walkin' out the front door,
I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for,
It's hard to say it, time to say it,
Good-bye good-bye.

I miss that town,
I can't believe it,
So hard to stay,
So hard to leave it.

If I could relive those days,
I know the one thing that would never change.

Every memory of lookin' out the back door,
I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor,
It's hard to say it, time to say it,
Good-bye good-bye.
Every memory of walkin' out the front door,
I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for,
It's hard to say it, time to say it,
Good-bye good-bye.

Look at this photograph,
everytime I do it makes me laugh.
Everytime I do it makes me..

haha i like listening to this song while i work. i dunno its a little strange at some parts but haha it gets you into a really nice reminiscing mode. i was just thinking about all the good friends i've had since kindergarten. haha alicia was my best friend thru kindergarten and im sure i did my fair share of traumatizing her cos i was one BIG terror but anw yea after i met her again in sec4, i realised how we're all changed but still, i always remember the strange things we used to do (: i dont remember what kind of friends i had from p1 till p4 but i do remember a girl called kelly coming over to my house and we messed the entire place up my dad almost throttled me haha. yuhui and yanneng were my best friends from p5 till p6 and then.. i dont know what happened but well, things changed. haha from sec1 till 2 i dont know what friends i had too then i had cel and mandy from sec3 to 4 and rieruthjiajing. haha honestly? i dont understand how a guy and a girl can be really good friends for years. cos most guys dont have the patience to cling on to friendships no matter what nonsense they say about trying so honestly, girls are the best friends you could have. haha maybe im biased and though i dont think i've had a 'charmed' life that i think some people have, i know i've been greatly blessed through the friends that i have. and i am so thankful to have cel and mandy at work now cos i would just kill myself over tax computations if i was alone.

okay so i thought about it and im pretty sure im not a very forgiving person. maybe i try to ignore but i never forget. thats why i find it so hard to trust people who've done things 'against' me before. and thats something that i know i HAVE to bring to the Lord and i have to bring to Him and deal with everyday. its a challenge, a big one. i've been reading psalm119 and i've memorised v1-13 aside from the occasional holes in my memory haha but im still seeking to be so much more conscious of Who He is to me and His presence throughout the day. most days at work i end up feeling reallyreally bad cos work gets so EURGHHH that i just sit and stone and theres no joy. but He's put a song in my heart and i know i can find great joy in that and everyday i want to be a mirror of His heart. how? seek, trust. i read luke11 today that has the same verse as matt7:7 "ask and it will be given to you, seek and you will find, knock and it will be opened to you."

seek, and you will find. JOY! (:
