Crossroad

Early this morning as I was lulling Luqman back to sleep, it suddenly hit me how he's grown. It seems like yesterday I was still pregnant with him whilst busy attending weddings with him rocking in my womb :-) Even my supervisor couldn't put to the rest the fact that I had him quite some time ago actually. He kept highlighting that I got away being pregnant right under his nose ;-) almost every other meeting with him! He'd be suprised if he had seen Luqman now. He has yet to see him, though. Maybe one of these days, I will bring him for a stroll to his office.

Anyway, a few turn of events, has brought me at a new juncture in life. I am at a crossroad. It doesn't really matter how I look at it, there's no 'winning'! (I won't be paying Charlie Sheen for using that term!) My options are limited. My time are scarce. Soon I will have to make a choice. Soon I will be left in the state where "you don't know what you got till it's gone", soon ...when a big yellow taxi took all of them away :-( 

A/T: Speaking of being at a crossroad...Al-Fatihah buat Allahyarham Mohd Arif Azman, staf UiTM Shah Alam yang meninggal dunia di Footscray, Melbourne pagi semalam (6 April 2011). Arwah meninggalkan seorang isteri dan anak berumur 9 bulan. Salam takziah drpd kami sekeluarga. Semoga roh arwah dicucuri rahmatNYA. Amin.

Big Yellow Taxi

They paved paradise and put up a parkin' lot
With a pink hotel, a boutique, and a swingin' hot spot
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you got till it's gone
They paved paradise and put up a parkin' lot


They took all the trees, and put em in a tree museum
And they charged the people a dollar and a half to see them
No, no, no, don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got till it's gone
They paved paradise, and put up a parkin' lot


Hey farmer, farmer, put away your DDT
I don't care about spots on my apples,
Leave me the birds and the bees - please


Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you got till it's gone
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
Hey now, they've paved paradise to put up a parking lot
Why not?


Listen, late last night, I heard the screen door swing,
And a big yellow taxi took my girl away


Now don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you got till it's gone
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
Hey now now, don't it always seem to go


That you don't know what you got till it's gone
They paved paradise to put up a parking lot
Why not, they paved paradise
They put up a parking lot
Hey hey hey, paved paradise and put up a parking lot


I don't wanna give it
Why you wanna give it
Why you wanna givin it all away
Hey, hey, hey

Now you wanna give it

Cuz you're givin it all away, no no

Why you wanna give it


Why you wanna givin it all away
Cuz you're givin it all givin it all away yeah yeah
Cuz You're givin it all away hey, hey, hey
Hey, paved paradise, to put up a parking lot
Paved paradise, and put up a parking lot
