My Vesak Day

This morning, I did a mini spring cleaning for my room. Well seriously I wouldn't really be so hardworking if not my parents wanted to change my room flooring. That will equate to massive ransacking and disposal of things out of the room. But interestingly enough, as I started to excavate items and photos which have almost been buried for almost a decade or so, I began to recollect memories both pleasant and worth longing for. Thanks to the spring cleaning afterall. Haa.

Shufen, Xinyi and me in TPJC uniform. We were 18 then.

SIM gathering with schoolmates

Joey and me in Neoprints! To my shock, I actually found A LOT of Neoprints taken in the past. Didn't know I was crazy about that. Hee...

Liping, Shihui, June, Cynthia and me in one of those rare gatherings after graduating from JC

Birthday, Christmas and New Year greeting cards I have received for the past decade. I still keep them alright!

I miss those part time Cinnabon days while I was still schooling in SIM...

These photos and many other more are remnants of past memories which are difficult to pursue anymore. Although the photos were somewhat blurring due to its aging over the years, I still want to keep them for another decade and more decades to come!

On a more solemn note, I was appalled to realise the number of deaths that occurred to date due to the Szechuan earthquake. The number is just multiplying everyday.

While I'm now comfortably nested in my house, I can't help but feel that tinge of agony by this serious calamity that has befall on China. Numerous and indefinite lives are forsaken, survivors maimed and traumatised, buildings and architecture wrecked, fear and uncertainty lurks. I guess we can never totally feel the kind of wound being inflicted on them.

On this holy Vesak Day, I send silent blessings to the earthquake victims, who had both demised and survived. May everything revert to tranquillity again.
