#18. Feel the Moment.

I don't have beautiful pictures.
I don't have a beautiful template.
I don't have big words in me.

But I'm real.

Too many a times, we're so engrossed in capturing the most beautiful moment, we forgot to enjoy and feel it. Just like fireworks two days ago, rare view and beautiful indeed. But how many actually felt the atmosphere and enjoyed the continuous vibrant of the colors? Too many of us, precisely too afraid to lose the moment, spent the entire time restricting their view of the wonderful scenery by peeking through the camera hole, waiting for the right moment to snap. Too much attention was spent on focusing the right moment, adjusting the lighting, balancing the color that at the very end, fail to enjoy the sight and had a large collection of blur, lousy and out of focused photos.

I'm not trying to pin-point anybody or whatsoever but I found this very applicable, even to life. That is, many times in life we're too focused on something that we forgot that what's more important is to actually feel for it. Like what I'd once mention about Stefen Chow and why I'd admired him so much was because, although scaling the world's highest peak, he didn't waste his most beautiful moment away by trying hard to capture it. Instead, there were few pictures of him on the peak in his slides. He didn't forget his passion up there, the most beautiful moment. He chose to feel instead.

Even though my view that night was largely obstructed by the trees, but I feel that I've had the most breathtaking pictures around. Looking far beyond my limits, captured by my heart, because I feel them. :)

Goodnight Pals.
Happy 39th and 364th day Singapore.
