My Grandma passed away in 1986, its quite a while back. I was only 10 then, did not know much about death, did not know why she had to go.

Interchange

Interchange is not as easy as I thought. Installing it is already quite difficult for me. After its unpacked from its tar.gz compression it’s a good 5MB+. Darn! It has some weird stuff I have never seen before.

Oh ya… thru the process I found out that telnet has security problems, so its better to use SSH instead. Hmm… whatever that means…

Its 2002

This new year eve I did not spend it in church like I have did for the pass few years, but instead I went out with a few good friends, my cousin, my brother and my wife.

We went for supper, drove to orchard, WTC, then ended up at One Fullerton. Bought some drinks and snacks from a mama shop and just sat on a pavement. With no expectations, no commitments, no plans and nothing but good company and a relaxed atmosphere.

Seeing the streets filled with Singaporeans made the festive season feel even more like home. Tertiary youth, bengs and lians, yuppies, families, taxis, foreign labour, people from all races and nationality. When I see this, I’m filled with an indescribable anxiety, a mixture of patriotism, passion, prideful, fear, love, rest, anticipation, peace, excitement and a whole list of other spontaneous feelings and emotions.

There is so much to say, yet I don’t know what I want to say. There is so much I want to know and learn yet I am contented. Lets see what the new year will bring.
