As some of you might know, Anna & I got married this past May 24. I can’t believe we have already celebrated our 6 months anniversary. Where does the time go? We had a nice evening with dinner and talked about how we have met, how long we have dated (almost 8yrs) and remembered stories from past. I thought if I had more time, I’d love to write down all the shenanigans I’ve done in my younger days, because you will never remember all the details and surely forget lots of the stories if not reminded. Especially if they were not caught on film and mostly they were not. We need to supplement our wonderful organ called brain with images that will reignite the emotion or feeling that happened at that instance. Well at least, why not put them down on paper or create a file with short stories that you can always refer to, add on to and re read in winter times. Your children’s children will laugh, cry and thank you. I’ve kept a journal on a one month trip to Malaysian Borneo when I backpacked the rainforest. I have read it recently, and couldn’t believe how much I forgot. In fact you can transport yourself back to the time and feel the oceans spray, or the heat exhaustion from trekking in the sun with 80 kg’s on your back. Here I am preaching something that I’d love to do more often, but have not got around to it yet. Time is so precious and to spend few minutes here and there is hard to find. But if you set some time to be creative and dig your into your cerebral cortex, you will be surprised at your accomplishment. So if you are not the writing type, at least pick up a point and shoot the next time you are off for a walk, document your journey for posterity.
