First time nostalgia...

It just hit me. I'm getting old. Passed through the mall earlier today and heard a musical trio play at the lobby area. They played all the songs I loved when I was still playing the piano, including "Somewhere in Time" - the extended version (where the Rhapsody is sandwiched between the main melodies).

I found myself being transported to the time when my mom was 'aggressively persuading' me to master the song. It was effective. It's been over a decade when I last played the piano, but everytime I touch a keyboard, I know that my fingers still know how to play the song. I still know the lyrics as my mom always wanted me to sing it.

The song opened a floodgate of almost forgotten memories. This is the first time I felt an extremely strong feeling of nostalgia...

I want to go back... somewhere in time. :-(
