Memories...

11:36pm

Yet another very hot day here, the indoor temperature at 3pm was 31deg Celsius. You can imagine how hot it is outdoors. We have not had any rain for quite sometime and the trees are withering from the onslaught of the sun. Did some clearing of weeds this morning but had to stop at 10am as it was getting too warm. My time out working isn’t as easy as I thought, everywhere I turn, memories of my faithful companion flashed in my mind and brought sadness to me. I guess I miss Furry very much. It is tough for me to go around cutting grass because she used to follow me around.

Memories, memories are precious. Tonight I remembered how we used to walk over our cousin’s place at the shoplots outside to watch television as we did not have a tele. We weren’t well to do. Mum and dad had to work real hard to keep the family going. Anyway, we would have dinner and then walk over and watch ‘The Omega Man’, another show we used to watch is ‘The Six Million Dollar Man’. These memories are faint now and I am fearful of losing them as we age. Somehow I have this fear of losing memories of my childhood, the things we used to do, the fights with my sisters, the experiences…. Helping sis with her noodle shop. Why, we even sold ‘Chap Fan’ to the construction workers at one time. These days we have the benefit of camcorders, cameras, digital cameras to record our experiences, this is very important as watching them brings us back to those days. Sigh! Life is cruel and yet wonderful at the same time. May we cherish the good times we share and learn from the not so pleasant experiences. Take care and God Bless! Good night!
