My Favorite Songs

Day: Early April 2007
Time: Around 7pm
Venue: my office, my desk
Theme Song: Anggun


It was after office hour. As always, I put Anggun's songs in my computer. The very same songs for the last two months.

Then suddenly, one of my colleague approached me and asked, "Why you always play those songs, hah? Everyday you play play, I got bored lor."

At that moment, I didn't know what to answer, it's because I didn't realize that my songs were bothering my colleagues. I always put my earphone on, or at least I set the volume of my computer as low as can be, so the songs would be just like whispers. And it's always after office hour! Never on the office hour... So at that time I had nothing to respond…

As she insisted to get my answer, I told her that I just like the songs of Anggun very much, they filled up my soul and senses every single time I listen to those beautiful songs, and I really cannot explain more and detailed why I like them, I just like them very much full stop.

I know she's not satisfied with my answer, I also bet she cannot understand why a person can listen to the same songs for more than two months without even listening to other songs. But I definitely cannot explain furthermore...I don't know if it's because it was a very hectic day and everybody got frustrated, or maybe it was still early April but the paycheck is gone already, but this dear friend of mine kept standing near my desk with demanding eyes... a demand for at least a decent answer from my mouth.

"Why, hah, why? Aiyooo, tell me lah... it's impossible you know..., to like some songs very much except those are soooo meaningful to you... are you broken hearted heh? You broke up with your boyfriend mah?"

Walah, how come liking a particular song can be connected to a broken heart? Well, yes it can be connected off course, but why I have to explain much about the songs I love to play over and over again... I just love them, nothing to explain anymore. And I think she absolutely knew that my relationship was just fine as usual.

As she probably noticed that I was getting uncomfortable of being asked about my personal things, she left me with saying "Okay okay lor... up to you lah, you play play songs you like..... thought you broken hearted what, wanna help you to recover lor.... and after that I take your boyfriend away huahuahuahuahua"......

I was stunned for a while.

But then I just smiled and continued....
