Is it strange to see futures? Have you ever came across anyone whom embodies the future of someone you know now? It is this extremely strange feeling. You simply know that him or her will become that. It is definitely not always a joyous feeling. You do see futures that can be sad. In fact, most of them are sad in some ways. Yet there are always joy somewhere in their, anywhere.

It's been happening for a while so I am not too concerned by it anymore. It is not like a future that is "written down" or something, I simply see potentials, matches in personality and stuff like that. Thing is, this time I think I see what I could become. Too, it is much closer to home than I thought. It is not exactly a happy life, but not a sad one either.

After much thought, I honestly doubt I will end up the same. So yea... It is potentially possible.

Now, Beijing! Beautiful place, more so than I thought and imagined. Yet it is an extremely sad place as well. Normally, we lament about how the people changed and are no longer the same while the places dear to us stay and in some sense lost meaning. In my case, much of those places are gone too, in just ten short years. Things change. Everything change. Everybody change.

Why?

There is no reason. Because we are what we are, change.

This is in Singapore. And the message from a fortune cookie on the table says: The one you are looking for is right in front of you.

And birthday cake from my dear CG.

The start of Beijing. A trip into my childhood.

The junction I crossed thousands of times

A walk way in twilight.

I used to be one of them.

Coming out of this school and this gate was once me. I am still here, school building and gate both gone.

The lady is still here though.

Running across a road.

This ancient park is still here.

Where I used to live, a long time ago.

The bus stop of endless summers.

Red just like those years ago.

Some of the most disgusting food in the world. Ha!

Some really good tea, 2 Chinese cents per bowl!

Live scorpion.
