The "some"
story.
Along these years,
I have in possession some photos which ALWAYS
invoke memories when I view them (a.k.a Kodak moments).
Some feelings are naturally sweet, while some
show the bitter after-taste. Some are taken by
me, some by Bb or passing clouds who happened
to be there. Some were taken in the spur of the
moment; some were carefully crafted to ensure
perfection (my style). Some are so corny just
to gain attention; some are so innocent that
I cannot believe that I have taken it.
I am not an exhibitionist.
Nevertheless, I felt that it will be a real waste not
to share these pictures in the web though it will be really
unknown whether the same memories can be invoked in other
people. I seriously doubt so. Everybody's got their most
inner memories that are so personal and valuable to them.
They built a person. These built mine.
And in my life,
I loved them all....

Thailand/Chiang
Rai/Doi Tung Flat Village. I went to a community mission
with my univeristy. An ice-cream man came to the village
in a motocycle and we got all the children in the whole
village an ice-cream (5B). The feeling was wonderful. Look
at how the kids smiled. Singaporean children would not haved
cared. They will be more concerned with their LAN gaming
and fast food. - Dec 1999 |

My colleagues
and me posing for a picture when I was a clerk immediately
I graduated. Low pay and constant worrying about my future,
my "clicks" were so united and we when to print
a polo-T Shirt with names and numbers on it. These offered
me some comfort. I was the fourth from the left (or the
right). - Jun 2003 |

Pp and
Bb at Sultan Shoal, Singapore. It is an island under PSA
and it contains one of the 5 lighthouses built by Singapore.
A very small island, you can walk one end to another end
in 5 minutes. Pp and Bb was having an argument and my friend
captured the Kodak moment. - Jul 2002 |

Bb and
Pp catching mini crabs at Sultan Shoal. They have a man-made
lagoon where you can swim but the water was not that clean
though. It was low tide. - Jul 2002 |

The thirst of a man.
Our lives are all about getting air, water and food. All
others are just plain "emptiness". Enough said.

In the Hainanese Cemetery
Pekan Nanas, Pontain, Malaysia. It was Qing Ming and everybody
rose up early on a sunday morning to visit their departed
relatives. People playing with firecrackers and having a
great time.It was after all the only time where the whole
family can get together as one.- Mar 2005 |
 |
On the same day, we
went to another cemetery in Ulu Choh (Pontain, Malaysia)
as well.My granduncle loves Chicken Rice with chicken liver.
A Guinness stout to go with it as well. After some time,
the can of stout was foaming (probably due to the heat).
My aunty immediately though that it was an indication and
asked some 4 digit numbers for the local lottery. 7791 I
think. It didn't strike though.- Mar 2005 |

At the memorial service held
in Pontain, Malaysia. It was a special service for 11 departed
relatives. We got them a real big house with mutliple servants
and 2 cars. There were life size models in the ceremony and
for these 2 days, it seems that there were all back, just
like the old days. Felt a sense of loss when all these were
burned at the end of the ceremony. - May 2005 |

It came to life for
2 days. They were with us and now they were gone again.
The feeling was bittersweet though I suppose this is what
it is all about with life. We were just doing our time.

Sun rise
in Songkhla City. Very lovely indeed. 6am in the morning.
Bb woke up and took pictures while I was still asleep. This
picture captures the quiet and tranquility of Southern Thailand.
The peace before the storm. Go to the Penang/Songkhla
link for more. - Dec 2003 |

Black-faced
Bb at Batu Ferrengi in front of white horse. One of the
very few pictures which Bb gave the unhappy look. I think
I irritated her by being rude(?). Nothing much except for
some 4-star hotels and Guest Houses. An ok place to chill
out. This beach will become world-famous when uncle Tsunami
hits 1 year later. Go to the Penang/Songkhla
link for more. - Dec 2003 |

I swore
that this will be my working uniform someday. I force Bb
to take a picture of me drinking Singha by the bottle and
holding a Lonely Planet Thailand. This is life! Go to the
Bangkok/Chiang
Rai link for more. - Aug 2004 |
