Photolog for the day (as per #30)
I didn't want to blog immediately as soon but the rain is making me emo here and there and I decided to blog it out instead of burying it deep down within me. So yea....
MEMORIES
So well, I was just thinking about the people I met on Friday and I naturally started to reminisce all those good and bad moments we had back then. So yeah, I met Shafie on Friday and it felt just so different to see him like after so many years. I mean Shafie is definitely one of those guys whom I had alot of good and bad memories with and well, when I saw him on Friday, we just smiled and talked like as if we had been friends for so long and well, there wasn't a tinge of awkwardness between us and all. So I decided to go down the memory lane ... all those pictures and all and I realised how much we had like grown ... (horizontally - YES) and also ... from the memories we had, from the good'ol times we used to share and yea alot more.
Us now !
And the very much thinner us from the past
All those memories ....
So what happened next - I decided to pluck up the courage and revisit my own blog post from the past. Well I don't like to visit just that section of my life because it was a very promising phase of my life where I was just too happy and everything around me was just ... beautiful. August 2009. I revisited that whole section of my life and realised how those events had changed me into who I am now. I mean the person I was before and after that episode is really different. But then again, like how everyone deliberately throw in the excuse and say, -"well everything happens for a reason". So well, so be it. I mean a small act done so unintentionally can really affect one greatly, eh ?. I mean it was just an innocent "yes" from me to a beautiful question and the kind of pain I had to go through - something that can naturally eat your soul up that you feel as if you're living your life without a soul, just wasting your time thinking of a better tomorrow with alot of hope only to realise that it was never going to come back to you. So ... it was really funny to "watch" how I had felt at that point in time, the amount of hope I had, the dreams I had built, the happiness I had felt at that point in time and everything and how I am feeling right now about all those stuff. But then again, well I guess there must be a reason why I had to go through such an ordeal just because of an innocent "yes". Maybe God doesn't want me to innocently say "yes" anymore ! Haha. I don't know but well, thinking about it now I realise how that episode actually transformed me, how it pushed me into a pit, how it brought out the negative shades of my own alter-ego and so on but then again, well it definitely hardened me up until I know that I don't easily say a "yes" that innocently (or maybe I don't say it out of fear), how it naturally gave me a reality-check, how it got me to engage on the theory of cognitive dissonance and whatnot. But maybe the take-home message is .... it taught me how to .. BE STRONG. I mean I guess we cannot always expect a very flowery journey throughout our lives and we got to be prepared for such shit-ass moments and yea, BE STRONG. Hahaha, just like my wrist tattoo. BE STRONG.
See my blog is like my very own kaleidoscope where I can view the different shades of me at the different stages of life. Hahhaa shiok ah ?. Free and easy time machine :P
