We can see the joy of love all around us. Some love the festivities like watching some live performances such as the troupe playing eighteen drums and the Traditional Chinese Lion Dance at Genting Highlands. In Malaysia, the Lion Dance team included some team members of other ethnic race. They can be participating in dancing with the Lion head or the tail to the rhythms of the drum beats, gongs and cymbals. The crowd are enjoying giving "Ang Pow"( A gift consisting of a Red Packet usually containing some cash) to the Lions while some little children are very excited to have an up close moments feeding the Lions. The Lions in return gave them gifts.

It is great to see the expression of love and happiness on the happy faces of the parents and children and the crowd.  I like this one particular moment captured when a mother and her daughter are seen successfully "feeding" the Lion. It invoked memories of my childhood time spent with my late beloved mommy at those instances when the lion troupes visited my hometown in the upper north many many years ago.  I wonder how many parents and how often do we get to share moments like this with our children and loved ones on any day not just on Valentine's day that can impact us in our daily life and have an everlasting memory. Let us count our blessings.

Hope you will enjoy these recorded events at Genting Highlands Resorts recently.

Landmarks demolished at Bukit Mertajam - End of sweet memories

After Gymnasium Cleared. Former General Post Office reduced to rubble

Still left standing is part of the former Telecom office front

This is what is left at the demolition site of the former General Post office building and the Telecom office building at Bukit Mertajam which a few days ago were still standing. Let us see what will the development bring to the place in the near future.  To those who have been working there years ago, those who sent their letters, post cards and telegrams, Sweet Valentine's cards to their friends and loved ones, and those who used it as a meeting point, part of that memories are deleted from memory just like some of our storage files in the floppy diskettes are being put away with no back up as newer personal computers and notebooks do not have floppy disk drive.

So back up your memories with photographs.  That is why I like photography as it can bring back or restore some lost memories and passions of the past. Life must go on.  Some people lived in the past and preferred to be still living in the past even today and refuse to change with time just like when we like to talk about the good and funny experiences we shared with our schoolmates, partners and colleagues as we meet up again and again over the years with them such as the Chinese new year reunion dinners and gatherings functions, the old boys club. It sorts of bring us together and close affinity with the things that we know we cannot do again as we get older.  I am like that too. I got the chance to share and recount the joys of my youthful days. The tide of change will destroy some but bring joy to others.  Nothing is permanent here.

So let us look ahead.  Some are too futuristic and live in high expectation of things that may not exist and get fascinated by their own desire of a better life which do not match the reality of present day. It is dangerous as we may easily get disappointed if things do not turn out the way we expected it to be.  We may end up at asylum.


Live for now. Keep it simple. Today is what I am living for as I still need to do all the house chores, send my kid to school, provide for the household needs and serve others as in the nature of my insurance business.  I am being reminded by the sermon I heard  from the pastor at Bukit Mertajam Baptist Church last Sunday where the Holy Bible talks about little creatures like the ants that you see that are busy moving and crawling about in our house. It never stops moving or gathering food unless we stop them or they are already dead.  I guess I missed watching the animated movie ANTS. I got to find sometime to bring my kid to the cinema to watch some children movies and it could be the special moments that we can touch our children and they in turn will treasure the moments spent together laughing aloud like nobody's business in the cinema like everyone at the funny episode of the movie, as they reflect back when we are permanently changing home address to another world.  Leave a legacy.
