1950s

the stories of old never fail to mesmerize me

finally i'm back and able to embrace technology. ive been deprived this whole time in m'sia but ive got no regrets going there cos ive seen and learnt things that could never be taught elsewhere.

one of the most amazing things i saw there was on day 1 when my grandma was meeting her sister at some run down hotel(which was hip like 30 years ago). anyway the moment the two of them met it, they immediately started talking abt the place where they lived in the past (cos we just walked past it). and its just mesmerizing to see two 60+++ year olds linking hands and walking down the street. its been a really long time since i've seen my grandma so happy. perhaps someday i'll walk down the streets of old and point out to my grandchildren and tell my story.

and sometimes i wish i could stop time and admire my surroundings.
