"For God so love the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believeth in him shall not perish but shall have everlasting life" John 3:16 And on this Easter weekend, as Christiandom celebrates the resurrection of Christ, I spend some time in reflection. Reflection of some of the people that I have interacted with, came into contact with and lost some of them along the way.
It started with a blast from the past when one of the engineers who used to work with me during the HP days found me in one of those business groupings online. It must have been at least 20 years ago since he left us and we lost contact - and I am amazed that he still remembered me enough to be able to add me to his list. And I am always surprised myself that I can remember some of these people after so many years. I recognized and knew who was SL Lai the moment I saw his email.
And then in the evening of Good Friday, I get a call from my aunt who is based in Singapore. One of my cousins had passed away from meningitis. The poor bloke was only 48 years old. I attended his funeral today, Saturday, and managed to meet up with many of my other cousins with whom I come into contact with once every few years. Who is that young girl? Whose husband/wife is that? Whose children are these? What are you doing now? Funerals can be great socializing events. Just wish that we don't meet under such conditions so often.
And when I got home, mum showed me a little bird she found in the garden. Poor thing cannot fly and must have dropped out of a nest.
My garden has many plants with bird nests hidden inside. i thought maybe this was it's nest and placed it back there.
30 mins later, it was gone!! We thought maybe some predator took it. There are also a lot of crows prowling around the area.
But a couple of hours later, I found this poor thing chirping in another part of the garden. We are now nesting it in a shoe box. Hope it is able to develop to the point where it can fly on it's own.
