There's a certain charm and romantic feel about cafes that i can't find anywhere else. For the second consecutive monday, I've sat on my own at a university cafe, sipping coffee/tea and getting some readings done before lecture.

Then suddenly, my concentration would be disrupted by the start of a familiar song.

"My love, There's only you in my life, The only thing that's right.
My first love, You're every breath that I take, You're every step I make
......
You mean the world to me, I know I've found in you, My endless love"

:) Lyrics to Endless Love. I couldnt help but just sing along with it. This is one song that my sisters and i crooned to when we were younger. those days when MTV was hip and my uncle provided endless supplies of english pop songs cds every saturday. Haha. Sweet days.. even if the lyrics didnt mean anything to me.

Music just has a way to a person's heart. Well.. after taking lectures in Human Social Interaction: Perspectives from Neuroscience, I'm now more convinced that by "heart" we often actually mean "mind". All tt emotions: fear, anger, disgust, nostalgia, sadness, they're all associated with the activation of particular brain areas. It must have been some invisible lighting up of some intricate parts of my brain that aroused those feelings in me.

Cafes are great places to be in, to relax, wind down, unconsciously listen to the random conversations of strangers, reflect and spend some time alone/with friends.

Life has been good :)
