Songs & Scent

I was driving when I heard snippets of "Grow Old With You" being played as part of some advertisment on the radio. I couldn't help but smile to myself - a lot. I cannot believe how easy it was to be this happy, how can a song bring back so much memories for me. But it was really nice to be experiencing that few moments of sheer happiness. Nothing fancy, just some music, just mushy lyrics, me and myself in the car (no megan, no others). I was truly happy for that few minutes, reliving each and every scene I could associate with that song - how a particular friend actually went to a lot of effort to play that song for me a long time back.

Then there was the Clairol shampoo I bought some time back to use at my gran's. It isn't fancy salon shampoo, it isn't costly nor really fragrant. But it reminded me of those bitter winter days while I was in London. Again, its really strange for me to feel happy cos winter isn't my favourite season, nor was bathing in winter with little heating. Nor was I terribly happy in those days. But I guess I must have been happy back then, cos the scent from the shampoo really lighten my load each time I choose to use it over the other "better shampoo".

Now I am trying to get some Organics shampoo and see if it could work the same magic (I was using that when I was 17 and was ALWAYS HAPPY back then, my old friends would probably know why).
