fragrance

what is the most fragrant smell you've ever smelt?
we don't always notice smell as the most outstanding of senses, don't we? yet somehow, smells are(at least for me) able to bring back memories and feelings stronger than sight or hearing...

we see images from our every waking moment, our eyes often serve as the form of memory of which we store stuff, but seeing something rarely brings back memories...
hearing is slightly better, but at an age where almost everything can be recorded and played back, sometimes... too much music is really no good at all... there was a time when listening to my "Spirited Away OST" would bring back memories of the movie along with a certain buzz or feeling... same for my "Last Samurai OST"... but, now even though or rather because of "over-hearing", i can recall the movie even without the music... but the buzz or Spirited Away and the sad feeling of the Last Samurai is hard to find again...

i like the smell of rain... it still brings back memories so strongly partly because i can't control when i want to smell it... if it doesn't rain when i want it to there's nothing i can do about it...
it hadn't rained for quite a while, but it did yesterday...yeah, it rained...
the smell of rain mixed with mosquito coil smoke, brings back memories of childhood... cos' last time when i stayed in the army camp in sg besi there was lotsa mosquitoes... so i've been inhaling mosquito coil smoke quite alot since small:).. but yeah, it brings back memories of childhood... along wif a buzz :)
