pictorial of august

before august ends .. i hope to recall a beautiful pictorial of august 2006.

in a vehicle .. it drove pass many cars .. many vans .. many lorries .. many motorcycles and many many people.
why were the vehicle stopping? why was there a sudden stop? why was there a jam? and most ironic of it all .. why were there people in the road? in the expressway.

why?

and seconds later ..

loud blast of explosion shock the dark skies .. wave after wave .. like a pounder, pounding "bom bom" sound in the skies.
and in harmony .. well sequence, with perfect timing and smooth co-ordination. streaks of colourful sparks flashed across the skies.
it's looks like a beautiful flower, first .. then it rains beautiful red, green, orange sparks .. sparkles & showering down .. time after time, colourful sparks flashed across the skies..

it flashes .. soon it sparkles .. then it glitters .. and it showers down, as if it was raining beautiful colours.

i stared in admiration. it was a magnificiant sight .. it was really beautiful.

the fireworks.

then as the vehicle go slower and eventually stops, due to a jam.

something caught my eye ..

a guy .. holding a bouquet of flowers .. red colour .. should be roses .. hugging .. cuddling a girl, probably his girlfriend .. kissing .. and yes, at the expressway, while the beautiful fireworks was on display.

behind a backdrop of beautiful fireworks and majestic skyscapers .. among hundreds of people .. the hectic condition of the traffic .. all this, single out the lovely couple .. the little peace & quiet space this couple creates.

why he did that .. i don't know

but it was so obvious.

it was so romantic ..

they're in a world of their own, i guess ..

i look in envy .. and i smile .. though i kind of feel sad and, eh.. but .. well, nevermind.

and as the vehicle starts to speed off ..

i stared blankly .. smiling to myself .. images of that beautiful fireworks starts to rewind in my head .. and also the beautiful pictures of the past .. that unforgettable smile.

Fireworks .. although it maybe beautiful .. but beauty tends to be short-live and only last for a few minutes .. really have to grab hold of it .. appreciate it .. and treasure it before it dies off. and it shall always stay inside the memory .. as a sweet everlasting memory .. not a forgettable one.

i finally understand that everything we see, we possessed and we treasure are all nothing but like fireworks. it may be very beautiful but short-live.

beauty last only for a moment.

we really have to use our heart to admire it, to appreciate it and to treasure this beautiful scene. if not, it will be just a "one of the another" firework display if we were just to only use our naked eyes to appreciate.

although fireworks display is an annually event .. but i would want to appreciate it yearly. for we wouldnt know one day .. there will be no more fireworks display again.

and then .. it will only exist in our memory .. what a shame, isnt it?

i know .. so please don't .. it hurts.

but sometimes, the best picture may not exist physically ..
we have to dig hard and think hard to recall, to obtain, to capture and to appreciate it once again .. the beauty of the picture.

i have seen beautiful pictures .. i have beautiful pictures before .. though there's no need to dig and think hard for it.

but i have since .... lost it

and no matter now, how sweet or how beautiful or even how lovely the picture is .. it just simply doesnt belongs to me anymore ..

well, i would want to treasure it .. and, if you have .. please treasure it .. okay?

and i still yearn for the beautiful pictures .. i still smile when i think it and i will still treasure them.

when will you come back? will you come back? will there ever be more new beautiful pictures?

pictorial of august .. i will always remember you.

ever in my heart ..

always.
