Last weekend of Sept

Quite crazily busy this entire month - but at least the bulk of it is done and well, more work on Monday. Lol. I am pleased that it went quite well overall and pleased that there are results to the work being done.

I've had good Fridays this entire month, whether by way of work or after work activities, and today was no different. Good to keep Fridays occupied :)

Well, someone is going to ORD soon, but I doubt it will make a difference here. 

Looking forward to ERP later and dinner with the gals!

9/11

Reports of 9/11 have been circulating around the past week, in view of the upcoming 10th anniversary.

This report from ST nearly broke my heart.

10 years ago, on 9/11, I was but a Secondary 3 student, and in the few minutes before school started, I can still remember clearly that I was in the classroom surfing the net using the only computer, and read some news of the attack. 

And 10 yrs ago, that attack didn't mean much to me at that point of time because I hardly even knew about the existence of the Twin Towers. It wasn't until very much later in the evening that I knew the full extent, when coverage of the attack was everywhere on every channel.

10 years later, the pain and loss of 3k people is still felt by people, and especially immediate members of the family. 

I think it's a blessing just to be alive and surrounded with your loved ones. Treasure it, before it is too late.

Reminiscences

I think none of you knew that I used to write SMS-es into notebooks to prevent losing them. 

Childish? Yes, I think so. Crazy? Not that mental, of course. Only SMS-es I felt were important to me. Over the course of 2 JC years, I think I only had a handful. Thus it wasn't like I spent half of my life copying those SMS-es. 

Silly as it might be, when I chanced upon them today, it really brought back tons of memories, and I could remember exactly when each SMS came, for which event, whatever I was feeling at that time.

The feeling of reminiscences is good. 

For life made you into what you are today, ain't it? :)
