I remember writing this in 2016, and what I wrote is still relevant today, so here it goes:
"Before there was Facebook, before there was Instagram, and the likes, there was a real book, there was face to face communication, but somewhere along the way technology happened, and progressed so fast until the recent past seem like but a distant memory...
Back in my school days, I'd remember keeping a book for my close friends, classmates, and (ahem) even crushes to write on, details and all, and keeping in touch meant SMS, MSN Messenger, or the likes... Love letters were discreetly folded and passed along silently (although sadly I myself never gave one nor got one... Life.. Hah!) and we'd pay a few bucks to send someone candies, chocolates or flowers every Valentine's or whatever grand occasion there'd be...
Why am I suddenly writing all this and reminiscing all this? Because of 'Our Times', those times would be kept in memory and on screen... This movie, although in Chinese, really brought tears and memories back, and it's really a good movie, that made you think, reminisce and miss the good times... Within a blink of an eye, here we are, adults, working life, and some even with families...
Blogging used to be a big thing back then; now, it's still relevant, but not as much as it used to be... Everyone grows up, but the inner child, that inner love, how many of us could say it still exists? Society and the world pressures us to be grown up, to be more heartless and ruthless, and living in a dog eat dog world, but it doesn't have to be this way... Why would wars still carry on then?
I'll be the first to admit I do miss the good old days, the past, I may be still stuck in the past, but at least I am aware to have one step forward into the present... But as they say, we have to evolve with time, and adapt to survive... Life's much simpler back then; now, it's just so complicated..."
And in 2017 I wrote this, which I think is also still relevant today:
"Hindsight is a wonderful thing in life; it allows one to look at the past more favourably, and not to make the same mistakes again. Sometimes I am scared to grow older and think too far into the future, so I live life day by day, and I still believe it's not too late to achieve anything and I am doing something about it.
So back to the present in 2018, and so much has changed, personally and even in the people and things around us, and I just can't believe how has time flown by!
