Puzzle of Life

Assalamualaikum bloggie......

these are among the photos I ve captured last months. I did not have the time to upload and edit. Both of my Acad Comm have presented their FT in a form of casual sketch and serious ala-Gaza concept. What I admire is their commitment to show up ...tho the rain was wickedly heavy that night.

I love Human. Freezin 'em up in the memorystick is like ..putting a stop to Time. Immaculate. I Like. Without further a due...here they are ...

Those faces and efforts will always be treasured. I did "masuk kampung" too with my multicultural research. I took the opportunity to snap some photos of tomorrow's generation...I call it ..the Juxtaposition of big and SMALL. :) - A Dream shall be Realised, A Dream to Begin.

This primary school is located in an undeniably remote area in this small town. The route is like winding and never ends. The institution houses the local community in the area. It ONLY has A nearly-hittin-the-ground brick block,the so called original building. The looking-kinda-new yellow stilty building in the above photo is the computer lab, built recently. Notice the height? yess....it's flood prone area. There are about 260++ pupils. Imagine. and it's surrounded by pokok kelapak....and all sorts of woods. In a glance, it looks so peaceful from far, on 2nd thought, hey this is the Sekolah Kebangsaan ya know ....what went wrong? Don't these people here deserve a far-better-decent facilities and infrastructure? Come on people....Due to certain unavoidable circumstances I shall not disclose the name of the school. After ALL these years, they are finally being granted for new building blocks. It's currently under construction...in 2009...(yeah......better than nothing? is it ....?) I wonder how those children were back then...

Such a Pity...

seeing the generation of tomorrow in..god knows what ...am speechless. I stood in the compound watching those little faces talking and laughing with their classmates, with those bulky, heavy haji bags...heading out from the school after a long day in class. My lense was merely numbed ...as well as my thoughts....though not my smiles....the ONLY thing I could afford to give them at that moment. Behind the lenses....tears were rollin down my cheeks, Don't ask me why ..Coz I don't even know why ....I feel sorry ....sad...happy...touched by their gestures who were gazing at me as if I was this huge alien-press with a camera at hand. Drowned in my own thoughts, I snapped Aliff's photo....and Abe ..that montel boy...as he referred himself to.

Looking at these two different worlds...my students who seems to have all ...and those who are still struggling in primary's....have invoked so much thoughts and senses inside.

Though I was there mainly for my writeups, I got to see more than papers. I saw humans, with miles and miles of Hearts....I saw Locals who are continously in support of their children and the education system...I saw a community that is seeking for A chance to see their posterity swim out to the sea...as far as the currents and tides can bring ....and may One day ..triumphantly return to The Root.
