its good to be back....

My last entry was Dec 12 2007...how time flies and now I m back to CPPD'09. Everything seemed lost for a while and finally the last piece of jigsaw fitted in. Thanks Alex for your time this morning. I tried to piece everything back in time for the first tutorial session tomorrow night. I have been reading others' blog and now m writing my own, the road seems familiar again. The 5 wooden figures were actually erasers on the base. I had them when I was 7 years old bought by my late mum. We used to play with it when young.... and I found them in a special box last week. What makes me picked 5 of them, are they representing children reminding not to go to the dark side?

Small world play, the first module I attended in Disted college on May 17'09. I did not manage to create a small world during the session but did it at home. I played around with the creation. reflected on the feeling each time I changed. It was a necklace of red seeds (I bought from little India for rm2- sometime back when Sue n myself were in little India last Nov'08 looking at drums). There were 2 shells and 3 pergaga leaves that I pluck from the garden and parts of the stem.

The title: Changes...impermanence... The 3 pergaga leaves had dried up, the fresh green color faded and the texture wrinkled. The shells sat on them a week ago, now they are upside down and the necklace of red seeds in a clump on my work table. The initial motif was a journey, with uphill-downhill and ending up in a circle: wholeness --- "where is the end and the beginning?" There were 87 seeds strung together. I counted 3 times. It ended with a single digit number of:6 (8+7=15). So in Hokkien 6 =LUCK! I really need the good luck. What does it really means when there is no end and no begining ... the journey goes on round n round?
