26/05/2008 Ch 8 变奏曲 of the episode had a sad ending. it ended at a balcony where 3 good frens usually gathered. With photos showing the time they shared. but now, with one of them dead which is caused by many complicated links.

Followed by the poem read by 向云 which i read about it on the nxt day in the paper, which is about the 四川 earthquake which took away children from their parents.

<<孩子,快抓紧妈妈的手>>

--为汶川地震死去的孩子们而作
--作者不详
　　
孩子 , 快抓紧妈妈的手
去天堂的路太黑了
妈妈怕你碰了头
快抓紧妈妈的手
让妈妈陪你走
妈妈怕
天堂的路太黑
我看不见你的手
自从倒塌的墙把阳光夺走
我再也看不见你柔情的眸
孩子 , 你走吧
前面的路再也没有忧愁
没有读不完的课本和爸爸的拳头
你要记住,我和爸爸的摸样
来生还要一起走

妈妈别担忧
天堂的路有些挤
有很多同学朋友
我们说不哭
哪一个人的妈妈都是我们的妈妈
哪一个孩子都是妈妈的孩子
没有我的日子
你把爱给活的孩子吧
妈妈 你别哭
泪光照亮不了我们的路
让我们自己慢慢的走
妈妈 , 我会记住你和爸爸的模样
记住我们的约定
来生我们一起走

Lastly, today's movie, indiana jones (theres one sentence which is something like tat: as u aged, things start to be taken, instead of receiving).

Thoughts:
It is true that as we aged, we will slowly lose some of the things ard us. But for our age now, we are still receiving more than things being taken away. So, most of the ppl are still enjoying as there wasn't any major setback that has yet to cross their path; i'm most of them. But its time to realise.

The time will come for everyone, when close person starts to walk out of ur life and what u had were memories. Maybe thats why u can see a lot of elderlies sitting down and staring into blank spaces when there are nth to occupy their time. Or maybe, they are just resting ... ...

Time will flow, carrying us - ppl on sampans w/o paddle - with the flow, occasionally bumping into different ppl along the way and no way of moving against it. Start to cherish things if had not done so. But things wont always go according to plans.

We can only amend things by spending more time into it and will never be able to reverse the things done (cuz what done is done).


Times of past
photos, images fading in and out
flashes of parts and pieces
still, stationary, paused vision of places

However, "In three words, I can sum up everything I've learnt about life; life goes on." - Robert Frost.

Memories ... ...
