And it’s been awhile, Shanghai.

********************************
Short talk: THis is actually a song by Staind. But i edited it… yesterdae marks the first “Back to Singapore” month. I really MISS SHANGHAI. THE FRIENDS. And Gin.
********************************

It’s been awhile
Since I wake up at 11 am to work, when i suppose to go at 9.
And it’s been awhile since I first taste Xiao Long Bao.
And it’s been awhile since I could stand on my own two feet again.
And it’s been awhile since I could see Huang Pu Jiang.

Huang Pu Jiang

But everything I can’t remember,
As long ago as it all may seem.
The memories and efforts that I’ve rendered.
I’ve enjoyed myself beyond my means.

It’s been awhile
Since I can say that I wasn’t addicted to sing KTV.
And it’s been awhile since I can say I love watching u guys playing majong as well and

Effie, a friend

And it’s been awhile since I’ve gone and fucked things up just like I always do in Shanghai
And it’s been awhile but all that memories seems to flood when I’m see these photos

Marcus and Don at Xiu Xiang

And everything I can’t remember
As funny as it all may seem
The friendship and trust that I’ve rendered
I’ve gone and miss Shanghai all over again.

NDP dinner

Why must I feel this way?
Just dun make these memories go away
Just one more peaceful day

Kyle, a Friend

And it’s been awhile
Since I could say “Dong Bao Xin lu, Bao Shao Lu”
And it’s been awhile since I said “Dao Ba Zhe ma” and “You all go eat “Icecream” again tonite?”

And it’s been awhile since I’ve seen the mountains of Zhe Jiang,

the culture of Suzhou,

and the hospital of Shanghai.

And it’s been awhile but I can still remember just the way Gin help us and be our friend.

Gin. A Friend.

And everything I can’t remember
As unforgetable as it all may seem to be
I know it’s me
I cannot forget the times…
Gin did the best he could for us

And it’s been awhile
Since I could hold my head up high
And it’s been a whole month since I said “Thanz, Gin, for everything.”

Rock on.
