Back to the Future

The date stamped was 26.07.2007. I wasn't around to open this letter, until 2 years later. This letter was sent to me to inform me that I didn't win the lawsuit agains LCCT for causing us to miss flight to Hanoi in Jan 2007.



I have a lot of 感触 staying in USJ 3 again. This is my home. When I reached home, it was as if I've just left it for a day or two. The Straits Times newspapers, dated April 2007, left in the living room, are still in the living room. The newspapers used to wrap garlic and onions, left in the kitchen, are still in the kitchen. The bottle of red wine vinegar, left in the fridge, is still in the fridge. The daun pandan, left in the fridge to keep unpleasant odour away, is still in the fridge. The piyo-piyo mug, a graduation gift from Zeta back in 2002, left on top of the speaker, is still on top of the speaker. The coca-cola bottle from Jakarta, which was supposed to be given to Table, is still on top of the shelf.

I spent 2 days getting rid of 2 drawer-full of letters. I opened the letters one by one, from July 2007, August 2007, ... ... July 2008, August 2008, ... ..., to May 2009, June 2009. Where was I? I'm not around? I need to think hard. Yes, I was in Dayton. But, Dayton seems to have faded to the back of my mind.


This is weird, very weird. Without Dayton, I wouldn't have crossed path with hubby.
