reminiscence.
phil’s blogpost today brought back many memories for me, both good and bad.
a little excerpt from his post, with his permission of course:
There was also a most heart-wrenching blogpost (the reader may be assured that it was not mine), for it was a time of great upheaval for the brothers-in-arms. There was also the resolution of a great mystery, and a trip to the airport, to ’see off’ another party yet without being seen; and then there was a 4×4x4 cube which broke apart on the first day of its use and to the best of my knowledge, has never been restored since.
i felt so strongly compelled to revisit my archives after reading that, and i rediscovered how much of a treasure trove of memories they are. some posts bring about a smile to my face, yet others still have the ability to tug at my heartstrings.
and like the cube, a part of me was lost when i broke apart. it might be minuscule and not visible to the average passerby. but if you bother to look more closely, to observe and inspect all the pieces, you’ll realise that they will never look or feel the same way ever again.
things fall apart; the centre cannot hold
mere anarchy is loosed upon the world
it’s already been more than a year.
i’m still unable to solve the 4x4x4.
