Déjà vu

The term déjà vu is French and means, literally, "already seen." Those who have experienced the feeling describe it as an overwhelming sense of familiarity with something that shouldn't be familiar at all. Say, for example, you are traveling to England for the first time. You are touring a cathedral, and suddenly it seems as if you have been in that very spot before. Or maybe you are having dinner with a group of friends, discussing some current political topic, and you have the feeling that you've already experienced this very thing -- same friends, same dinner, same topic.

This is a word where is quite spooky and eerie to begin with. I heard this word before but only now that I understand the true meaning of this word.

Anyway, I now understand I have to put thoughts -> plans -> actions. I just need to perform ACTIONS before things get too late or before I get too fed up with myself. Thanks dear...

Tribute to my Papa

Papa....We miss you! It's been almost 8 weeks that you have left us. You had gone without saying any words. It's been heart broken for all of us. I hope you are doing OK (*wherever you are right now). Pa, I remember the last glance that we made. I asked you "pa, had you taken your lunch" and I cannot believe that is the last conversation that we will had. This is the destiny and everyone will go through this path. It's only a matter of time. Your time is up and we had to let you go.

I know pa you are always proud of your children and you had taught us well to be a good person. I remembered that you will always say about how good academically your child is and what they are doing etc. This is a testament that will stay with time and this is the results of your hard work. Thank you.

Even though, we might not had time to do things together, the memories of the things that we had do together will continue to stay in my mind. The time we had gone for a trip to Xiamen, the time when you called me out of no where you are in Penang and we had durian together in Balik Pulau, the time we had our small chat in your bedroom, the time we went shopping together to get your coat for ko's wedding....even though i regretted not spending more time with you.

Pa, you had thought us to live an honest life, you had taught us to work hard. Thank you. Even though you are someone not expressive, you had done your best as a father. We will not forget you.

Pa, I hope you find your peace and continue to bless us.

Pa, rest in peace.
