Note: I remember there is a soundtrack in Winter Sonata, named " My Memory".
There is annual sport game held by my university for three days, and today morning is the opening ceremony. Not going to tell much about the details. Just want to mention some of the things. The first is, disappointment. Felt very disappointed with the leaders of our government. During the open ceremony, a special VIP guest from Malaysia, Dato Seri something something (can't remember the name). His english not so well, and somemore he change to use malay language later. And the worst part is, like the usual "VIP" in Malaysia, he made his speech so long and so meaningless, keep repeating some unnecessary points, trying to make his speech "panjang-lebar", and the most important is, nobody want to listen also. Even the chancellor of our university, Dr. Petrov made his speech short and sweet, why can't the leaders in Malaysia make their speech short and meaningful? Why are they trying so much to make their speech lengthy like the Pharisees who make lengthy prayers in front of the public (Matthew 23:14)? Are they trying to gain praise and glory from people? I don't know. Anyway that's not the most important thing.
Secondly is, memory. When I saw the students doing performances, especially the martial art, it really brings back memory. Once I also joined martial art and had been learning it for like five years. During that five years, really faced a lot of trainings and disciplines, during that time training is really not pleasant or should I say, is very torturing. But after the training what I learnt and gained is peace, joy (Hebrew 12:11). During that time, together with my friends and partners, we joined numerous competitions, tornaments, examiations, and performances. I still remember how hard we training it. Usually we trained for hours and days just for that five minutes performance, 养军千日，用军一时. It was really joyful and memorable. And throughout days and years, the friendship among us built up and they are like my another family.
But after I finished my SPM and came to this place to study, I know it is time for me to put down my life for martial art, cause as a student in university, I really cannot afford to put time and energy for training. And on the first place, I decided to join martial art just for the co-curriculum activity, just want to make sure I can write something for the column "Pasukan Beruniform" in the testimonial. But praise to God, cause even the intention was not good in the first place, he can change it into something good (Genesis 50:20). When I saw they were doing their rehearsal, I feel kind of regret, why I didn't join any performance especially the martial art, but when I think further into it, I realised that I can't afford to do so. To perform a perfect performance, it really require time, and most of the people in our university don't even know the basis of martial art, ie, they must start from zero, from the bottom line. To train a person from zero cannot be done in just 2 months time, and it might just bring disgrace to my instructors and seniors. If want to commit into this performance I must really sacrifice my time for study, but I can't afford to do so. After I came here, I decided to just commit my life in Christ and in my future occupation, nothing more I guess. Some people might ask, what about your life partner? I can say it is still a long way to go.
回忆是美好的，但回忆却是个叫我回去的诱饵。人应放下回忆，张向未来，因为新天新地即将到来。
Anyway, after thinking for a long time, I came to a conclusion. Memory is a good thing, it is wonderful, but memory is memory, it can never hinder the future. After all, memory is just a bait that drawing me back to the pass. I should put down this memory, bury it in the bottom of my heart, because I should look into the future, for a new heaven and a new earth are coming soon (Revelation 21:1). Amen.
