Why do some people retain in their memory what others have forgotten or never seen? Which is right: he who can't reconcile himself to leaving the past in obscurity, or he who thrusts into darkness everything that doesn't suit him?

Went on a short weekend trip to Malacca with Sylvia back in August last year. It was a much needed trip at that point, and I was still reeling from some unhappiness that happened before. Nonetheless, it was a good get away. Film images from the second day, shot on Kodak Gold 200: Fogged up lens, result of stepping out from the cold into the humid inferno hell of the outdoors. Love all these quaint shophouses, though I think the 24mm lens was not the best option (but the only one I had, so... ) Accidental multiple exposure, as usual Intended destination of our early morning - Low Yong Moh - for Dim Sum breakfast. They're pretty much an old school tea house, serving Cantonese dim sum. This isn't a place where your order food off a menu. Servers will tout their dishes on a big metal tray, and you pick the dishes you want off of it. Similar to dim sum trolleys, but in a tray-form I guess. Best dish of the morning was the Lotus Leaf Rice.
An avalanche of words I wish I could say to you, but never to be said, only to be kept in my heart. And my heart, it sinks under the weight of them.
I pray that you'll never understand why I've struggled in gracefully letting go, because the day you do, will be the day you experience it yourself. I will only wish that the future holds nothing but happiness for you. |
