Take A Walk Down Memory Lane - A Hand-Written Personal Letter From A Sweet Girl

Do you still get hand-written mails nowadays? I bet you don't. Hand-written letters were almost non-existent in many countries since emails, IMs, Facebook etc are so commonly used today.

One of the hand-written personal letters I received was sometime in mid June, 1987 and it was sent to me by a former Texas Tech University college mate of mine after she returned to Hong Kong upon her graduation. I was hunting for my first job in Singapore at that time.

I remember seeing her in Hong Kong at a hotel where I stayed for a stop-over flight to Kuala Lumpur from Lubbock, Texas. She was petite, feminine and well-manner and I would say she was wife material as well.

Let me show you the front view of the envelope.

And here is the rear view of it.

I don't know whether she sealed it with a kiss since she never used lipstick. Okay, I know you are probably excited at reading the content. Right?

Here you go (in Chinese except the last paragraph); if you don't know Chinese, it's never too late for you to learn.

It ain't a love letter since we were just friends. Anyway I cross out her name and her address to hide her identity. 

In Memory Of My High School Classmate, Eric Kwan

I was told yesterday that one of my Tsun Jin High School classmate, Eric Kwan, passed away.

Eric and I were classmate for 6 years. After we graduated from the school, we took different path and only met once in a blue moon. The last time I met him was at a gathering some 9 years ago.

His passions were taking photos, making and editing videos and he subsequently became a free-lance cinematographer.

I feel sorry for his family; he will live on forever in my memory.

I didn't get the chance to join him and other school mates when they flew to Australia for holidays but I would like to share with you one of the video clips he made and edited in 2006 and the other in 2005 during a trip to Sabah, East Malaysia:
