"Glory Box"


The difference between quietness and silence is that silence can be deafening. Quietness on the other hand should be calming.

Have you ever experienced a sudden blackout? I always do, here. Sandakan (and I believe most parts here in Sabah) do experience a lot of blackouts; that is if they have electricity. What's the difference between a blackout when you are in a city and when you are in a kampung?

The difference is you'd hear sudden
silence when the blackout is in a city and quietness if it's in a kampung.
For a few seconds there, you'd realize there's no more buzzing of the
machines. You are so used to the buzz until when all of the machines are suddenly 'dead', your ears rang like someone has slapped you across your face and hit your ears too.

Realizing for the first time that you've lost precious memories when you try to recall them back is like that. Like there's a sudden silence. A deafening one.

It sucks.
