Hey Yussy!

Remember this picture above?

I'm sure you do.

And i'm not talking about my short hair.

Its the first time i ever got to know you. Well, i won't say get to know you, because all we talked about was conga playing techniques. Actually, i was also suppose to be with you, and Sanjay was suppose to be the one teaching. But ended up we both teached you.

I still remember how i was quite afraid of trying to teach you because you seem so quiet and all. But then, now that i know you so way much better... "The Truth Hurts" TM.

JUST JOKING!

Its Amazing seeing you on stage, Princess Yussy, playing the conga.

The way you played, you really put a smile on my face. You were awesome.

Thats why i remembered about the day i first got to know you. How much you've transformed, from someone who knows nothing about conga, can now start to do wonders on it.

The part where you solo-ed, it was eye and ear catching for me. You did it o'friend! You were great!

Keep improving. Keep practising. Keep learning. Be open to other people's skills and techniques. Learn from your mistakes. Learn from other's mistakes. Be positive. Be passionate. Be loving and caring. Be humble and strong. Be yourself.

And you'll make it someday.

When its not related to music, you are always there. I remember the time we first walked down Strength Avenue. The things you told me. Your words of encouragement. You really are a Princess.

After what you told me today while walking home. I guess those words you said just now has its truths. I am not the same Happy me. The me that you knew months back. The me that always seem to happy when he plays or talks about music. The me that don't even need music to be happy. The me with the "short hair". Perhaps i've lost that. Perhaps i've lost myself.

You are right. I need to find myself back. I should take my time, but like you said, i can't take too long or it'll get worse instead of better.

Many times i tried to hide it. Somehow when you mentioned all this, i was also quite shocked that you realised and noticed all this. Someone becoming more observant seh. Which is good. So i'll take your comments positively. I hope it can help me find myself again, and it can help build a better me in the future.

I'll take your advice dear friend (except about the cut my hair part, i'll have to really consider). Perhaps this weekend i'll make a trip down to the beach. Oh, yah, i must go alone right? I think i will. You are right. Everyone needs a break. I definately do need one.

Don't forget our promise just now OK?

I LOVE YOU SO VERY MUCH DEAR FRIEND.

...and the list goes on...

you wanna here the sounds that lingers within me,
sounds that can't be heard, but can be noticed.
sounds hidden from the surface,
these are the sounds of words within.
if you want to stick around,
you gotta be prepared to listen to the sounds.
not with your ears,
but with your eyes.
