Picture Perfect 2008/#08
Theme : Shadow
Camera : Canon IXUS i
Date Taken : 2007 Sep
I was on a plane. I had watched all those movies I liked, had read finish my story book, had finished the cup of "Singapore Sling" and packet of nuts but could not sleep, and feeling bore, thus took out the camera and played with it.
For so many years, have been thinking:
- Who am I?
- Why am I so restless and always rushing?
- Why am I working day and night, till no daylight?
- Why am I flying here and there, till no where?
- Why am I always living in the dark shadow?
- Where is the spot of light that can lead me to the final destiny?
- What do I really want?
- What's my real mission of the journey to this world?
After an incident in 1996, which I nearly entered the gate of Heaven, God saved me and I survived, I slowly started
- to search for the reality of my own life;
- to find the tiny spot of light in the shadow to break through the darkness;
- to realise how to handle life, situation, people, or anything...
Basically, just 2 simple words :
"Put Down" “放下”
May All Find Your Own Light in the Dark Shadow !

ReplyDeletehahaha~ ok, ok, Here's another picture which answers to your curiosity :D
Shadows of the plastic cup and the stirrer.
Esti has guessed it correctly! Bravo!
I did mention I drank "Singapore Sling" on the plane right ? That's the drink.
If you look at the original picture again, you may notice the shadow of the Singapore International Airline (SIA) logo near to the right side too.
