The SDA Trio

Muaazam, Alice and I at the island-hopping jetty in Kuah

The photo above was taken on 3rd March 2004, when the going was still good. The three of us, me, Alice and Muaazam were sent on a four-months of a two-week deployment in Langkawi. We were a good team. It is sad to know that we will soon go our own way.

It was also a time when we would sit by the beach trying to kill boredom, listening to Thai songs. We were mainly listening to songs by Peacemaker, a group that has since broken up. We only had each other to keep ourselves sane. I was so close to Thailand but remained on this side of the border.

อยากหลับตาอยู่อย่างนั้น ทำอยู่อย่างนั้น ฝันถึงเธอเรื่อยไป เพราะว่าความจริง ไม่มีทางใด ทำให้เราได้รักกัน ทำได้แค่นั้น ทำได้แค่นี้ ทำได้เพียงแค่ฝัน

I really wonder why does it have to come to this….the motherf***ers…
