Flipping through some old picts... from secondary school to.. recent one... still think school time was the best... but also see the difference in the years (I can't believe my hair once was so RED - and skin used to be so nice X_X) XD hahahahahaaa
- Tiramisu (okay, there's too many of them, Maggiano (x2!), MN, Germany)
- First time I wore a DRESS to his birthday party (my gosh, it was a DISASTER (& maybe that's called the "shadow" from "childhood" such that I never wear one these days??) hahahahahahhahaaa... I can't believe I did it for him - I guess there's always the "first time" hahahahhaa
- First Face Painting: a Braves on my face to show some school spirit :P
- First Snow Angel :) (probably the ONLY one too) :P
- Moxie Java with my Angel Girl (I'm so grateful to know her in my life)
- My first Cat *and the only one as of now* - Little Scare - thanks to my grandson
- My engineer's ring (well, although my dear friend just took the pict of my BACK - but I remember back then him being there meant a lot to me :) - only sad thing I guess is that I lost my ring BEFORE I was an engineer - I wonder if they ever give you a replacement?!
- My GraduationS, of course :P (& many others' as well) :P
- Last HotPot in US (that is esp. GOOD b/c I practically did NOTHING - not even cook/prepare the food/wash the dishes for THAT MEAL, I didn't get that much of a chance like this when I was back in Lafayette) XD
- My Sister's Wedding (OF COURSE!!!!!!) :) I don't know how much I love my sister until then! REALLY
- Leisure trips (NY, Boston, Seattle, Indy, Vegas, Grand Canyon, Toronto, St. Louis, Chicago, DC, MN, Shanghai, Taiwan) * I don't consider Boise/West Lafeyette are one of these places as I think they're my "hometown"*
- Last Day in ASAT (although I was "happy" to leave back then... when I look myself in the picts now I seemed to be really happy & enjoying the moment back then.... *that's very sad*
- Wonderful Hawaiian Beach *so relaxing!*
- My wonderful Baby Elvin (he brings so much in my life!)
- Last but not least, of course (save the best for the last) - My mom, she's always there for me, every moment in my life.... :~)
of course, there're so many other more... and I can't believe I had been working for 5 yrs! FIVE years... really getting so old.... so many ppl in the picts whom now I have no idea where in the world they're... some are still, well, somehow, "keep in touch," just haven't speak to them for AGES... *or vice verse some I've been talking to once in a while but haven't see them for AGES*
Although heart may not be as tightly held together anymore, the idea of "knowing her/him is doing good in life now" is actually fullfilling. heard about this idea a long time back... but really feel that tonite when flipping through the old picts...
Another thing I realize is that most of the moments that are "precious" and recorded in these picts are either "first" or "last" time series - lately I've been thinking it's WRONG, every day shall be precious. Talk to the person like the last time you talk to them, welcome them like that last time you can host them... who knows, maybe I'll die the next day... don't want to left out anything b/c of some unexpected...
and maybe b/c having digital camera these days? I think I took a lot more picts these days - but only in softcopy form.. never really print them out anymore (well, maybe except sis's wedding)... probably another reason why my "new" albums never fill up with "recent" life...
hmm.. probably time to get some reprints...
P.S. I think one of the good things about these picts are that only "Happy Moments" are captured :)
