~~~MEOW~~~
Moments later after this picture was taken, the poor kitty had her tail accidentally stepped on by the owner of the prata shop.

Going retro...
For some strange reasons, I've been searching for songs from the 80s and 90s to listen and watch on youtube recently. One of the artistes that I've been listening to repeatedly is Don Henley, the lead singer of the now defunct band, The Eagles. He's really a great singer and lyricist. The songs/lyrics that he wrote are simply moving and often something that I can relate to. Those were the days where the lyrics of songs are so significant that they still strike a cord in your heart, even till now.
It also reminds me of the times (in my sec sch days) where I would diligently write down the lyrics of my favourite songs which I've recorded to my cassette tapes(!) from 98.7FM. Sometimes, I would even exchange lyrics amongst a few of my friends. Such nostalgic times!
One of the songs that I really like from Don Henley is "The Heart of the Matter" for, what else but its simple but relevant lyrics. It's like a song that reminds me that I have take things easy and to be more forgiving (I'm trying!!!). Anyway, here's the lyrics:
~~The Heart of the Matter~~
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I got the call today, I didn't wanna hear
But I knew that it would come
An old, true friend of ours was talking on the phone
She said you'd found someone
And I thought of all the bad luck,
And the struggles we went through
And how I lost me and you lost you
What are these voices outside loves open door
Make us throw off our contentment
And beg for something more?
I'm learning to live without you now
But I miss you sometimes
The more I know, the less I understand
All the things I thought I knew, I'm learning again
Ive been trying to get down
To the heart of the matter
But my will gets weak
And my thoughts seem to scatter
But I think its about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore
These times are so uncertain
There's a yearning undefined
And people filled with rage
We all need a little tenderness
How can love survive in such a graceless age?
The trust and self-assurance that lead to happiness
They're the very things - we kill I guess
Pride and competition
Cannot fill these empty arms
And the work I put between us
You know it doesn't keep me warm
I'm learning to live without you now
But I miss you, baby
And the more I know, the less I understand
All the things I thought Id figured out
I have to learn again
Ive been trying to get down
To the heart of the matter
But everything changes
And my friends seem to scatter
But I think its about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore
There are people in your life who've come and gone
They let you down you know they hurt your pride
You better put it all behind you baby; life goes on
You keep carrying that anger; it'll eat you up inside, baby
Ive been trying to get down
To the heart of the matter
But my will gets weak
And my thought seem to scatter
But I think its about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don't love me
Ive been trying to get down
To the heart of the matter
Because the flesh will get weak
And the ashes will scatter
So I'm thinking about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you dont love me
Forgiveness
Forgiveness - baby
Forgiveness
Forgiveness
Forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, you dont love me anymore
