Abel's name means.. vapor.
And his life probably reflects that.
Having to move again after almost 3 years, I went thru stuff that I have kept in boxes for years. Now that our new place have limited space and have no store room, I have no choice but to be cruel to my stuff. I am throwing away most of the things I have been keeping for memento sake.
Going thru those stuff.. give me mixed feelings. Sometimes it's inexplicably heavy.
Sometimes.. silly smiles and small laughter. And gratefulness. and at times.. tough time figuring out the origin of the stuff, the reason behind my writing, etc.
like ika said.. sadly.. most of these things are no longer the way they are today.
things you thought would stay forever.. they don't.
they're just vapor in this life- a life which in itself is merely vapor.
however life has been meaningful because of all these things.
like the 24 friends who began this journey with me on November 15th, 1999.
"batch 5".. you are the reason I will always remember the first 6 months in singapore as one of the best moments in my life =)
and NUS.. lots and lots of memories there =) youth nus, the jokers, the midnight chat, the prayers, the suppers.. geez..
things used to be emotional in the past. nowadays.. it's professional mostly.
heh.. I think I am getting melancholic ^^
Anyway.. here we are now. Nov 2010. life goes on. and i pray it gets better for all of us. I know it does for mine =)
