Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep

Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep is a website which is dedicated to parents who gave birth to children whose life ended before it began. Some died in the mother's womb, and some died in shortly after birth.

Life is something that is given by parents whose the female spent nearly ten months in pregnancy to deliver. A pearl in the making, the process which crystallized love. The site pictured some of the most painful stories in the world. Children who have to be placed under life support the moment they are boned. The most painful process comes to the decision of the parents to pull away the life support equipments and needles which bored holes in the young skins.

The sight of the life support machines that so support the life of the child being detached. The sound of the machine started to indicate the force of life seeping away.

Beep....Beep....Beep....

And finally it all ends with a loud Beep........which extends for a long time....the monotonous mechanical sound which so heartlessly depicts the end of the short life the child. That also marks the end of the dream of the hopelessly wounded couple....

I stumbled onto the site after watching Scott Kelby (Photoshop User TV Host, Publisher of the book Lightroom 2 for professionals), presented it in the show...It is very sad, and when I look at the hundreds of photos that is on the site which didn't depicts any sense of death, instead it shows love. The love that binds the young souls to their parents forever remembered in the minds.

It calms instead...

Emotion.....

I miss you...I really miss you... I miss the times that we argue with each other with broken english... I miss the times that you win using japanese which I am terrible at... I miss the times that when i sing you complain about the noise in the studying area... Although I may tell you that I miss the times...you will never read this blog anymore... I wish that there is computer in the place that you are going... I wish that there is somehow I can contact you after you are gone... I wish that somehow you can still use your broken english to motivate me.... I wish that there is perhaps you will become the angel to help everyone in the world.... Angel... May I call you this in the future... The ears that cannot hear anymore... The heart that cannot beat anymore... I did not write my blog for a while... I didn't know what to blog.... I didn't know what to write... Everything seems to be so bad.... The number in my handphone now call to static... Grief... I am forcing myself...

Well, what can I say. When I say that heaven is unfair to me for a certain thing in my life, it return to me in another way. I said that, "Heaven! Why are you so unfair. When people can earn so much in their life and I only earn such pathetic peanuts". The remark must have alert some kind of detection sensors in heaven and send a message to whoever is in charge up there. They return to me something incredible. Which is a very simple thing really, and that is "The Opportunity to Learn". How many times I will skim through a book and then evaluate it with the very least information i got from the skim saying that it is good or not good. How many times I was recommended a book but I didn't bother to look for it. How many times I was taught something but I didn't bother to think about it. How many .... How many .... Too many! Nowadays a good book which is worth reading is worth a million dollars. The information is worth a million dollars. The ideas and philosoph...

I discovered that this is the seventh entry to this blog. Double-O 7, sounds so James Bond haha. Another day passed without any real happening event. However there is some things that is worth remembering and also some ideas that might be useful in future. Met up with a senior director of a real estate company which happens to be an semi-professional photographer. We are suppose to meet up and chat about the possiblities of printing flyers and also something about his bookmarks. After talking so much about our hobbies, which is photography, i find that he became more friendly. I guess that is what happen when you get into a topic which the person is interested in, he will talk more. After he saw the postcard with a good photograph of the nightscene of orchard shot from on top of Fort Canning hill, he was amused and entertained by the picture. He then ask me a question which makes me quite embarrassed to answer. He asked who shot the picture from the postcard, and i just promptly replie...
