Reminisce....

Going through the past photos, greeting cards and letters brought flashes of all of my friends and events through my mind like photographic memory... snap..snap..snap....

I have lost contact with all... Daniel Ng Lian Hock, Bee Peng, Doris, Koon Heer, Bee Yong, Mui Lan, Juat Hiang, Yen, Yolanda, William, Kenneth, Foong Mui, Seet Kin, and the list goes on...

My growing up years had been filled with joy, love, pain, sadness, laughter, tears, regrets, achievements and disappointments all rolled together. Thanks to my friends who had in one point or another for contributing to my colourful life.

My friends, I wonder how you are doing but hope that you have been well and happy... I am unsure if we will ever meet again, but I do want to say that if there was any occasion whereby I had unwittingly failed or hurt you previously, I am sorry.

At this moment, thanks for the memory bank where I can still reminisce every now and then.

Take care my friends.....I wish that all things good and beautiful will come your way always...

关系。。。。

人与人之间的关系永远是那么的令人费解...

A person's rationale governs his behaviour, speech and action. When the emotional element comes into picture, all these deliverables become affected. What more when other factors such as environment, peer influence, expectations and more come into picture?

And one's connection with another very often becomes a journey for the parties involved. The possibilities for growth together are limitless, if only the karmic force is nurturing and that there is openness and trust.

I don't think a relationship is about trying to change the other person. After all, we all have our own set of habits, beliefs, emotions and reactions that may or may not serve our lives and our growth well for a start.

But very often, it's only when one party mirrors the hidden belief systems and emotions on the outside then the recipient realize the impact and truth, be it positive or negative.

As we see these, we can either brush aside all or have a choice to look hard within. It is good to let go of our own belief systems and see things objectively and rationally, and start looking at filling the gaps if any. Then perhaps, this is our opportunity for a real change and freedom and a bond can also be formed - with a new understanding of love and a connection that is made on the level of the deepest sort.

But honestly, how many of us really put our hearts into such? It's all about self needs, wants and expectations anyways..
