through the window of Malacca shophouses
You know I wonder, what would become of this place 5 years down the road, even just 2 years down the road.
Who'd still use that classic frame, that golden coated timbre carved piece that holds photographs beneath that reflective glass.
Who'd use this purplish-maroon hue sofa that tells what era it's from.
Who'd still use that circular socket with a rectangular switch.
Who'd still sit in that ratan chair at that far end of the kitchen fanning the charcoal fed stove (I used to squat and fan my grandma's soya bean drink, trust me it tastes so much better than gas boiled ones)
You know sometimes, when people purchase antique goods and place them in their living rooms, they seem out of context?

we ought to question a lot in our lives...
we want to look for an answer for our doubts
people change, things change
sometimes, we change unconsciously
sometimes, we change purposely
it's the environment that force people to change, it's what happen in our life that make us change...
our perception,
our principle.
sometimes we shouldnt try too hard,
but everytime we must try hard enough
anyway, i dont really know why i post this comment. dont even know whether it's related. but after reading this post, somehow, this is what i feel.
keep conserving... you conserve, we conserve.
