We Were Meant To Live For So Much More.
In less than 36 hours, some of my best buddies are gonna enlist into the army. A number of them, i've known since secondary 1. Small little geeks we were then.. turning to men, serving the nation. The days spent with no worries, afternoons on the basketball court playing soccer or in the new courtyard. One of them, Michael, has similar taste as me. Both our 1st girlfriend was the same girl! Well, both of us has learnt our mistake. ;)
3 years ago, i'd never had envision the feelings i will get to see them go. Sure, i can still see them on weekends, but it just ain't the same anymore. No more mahjong sessions and electrical therapy at bing's house; no more late night suppers at chong pang nasi lemak; no more soccer with these guys. The sense of feeling knowing that you can call them out anytime (well, almost).
New buddies are gonna be made in the army, time are gonna be spent with them too.
Tomorrow, on the 22nd of July, Hendry, Michael, Ah Lek and Guanhong are gonna be enlisted, followed by Ben on the 27th.
This is the transition from an adolescent to a man. A phase in every Singaporean guy. I hope we wouldn't grow too distant. My buddies.. Tok Cock, sing song, play mahjong, anytime, anywhere.
Take care in there.. SHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEBYE!
Switchfoot - Meant To Live
Fumbling his confidence
And wondering why the world has passed him by
Hoping that he's bid for more than arguments
And failed attempts to fly, fly
[Chorus]
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside
Somewhere we live inside
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside
Dreaming about Providence
And whether mice or men have second tries
Maybe we've been livin with our eyes half open
Maybe we're bent and broken, broken
[Chorus]
We want more than this world's got to offer
We want more than this world's got to offer
We want more than the wars of our fathers
And everything inside screams for second life, yeah
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
We were meant to live
We were meant to live
