9 Years On Facebook

I admit, I have become so comfortable with "being told" about my online exploits, I totally forgo the fact that details of my life has since become part of the database of social platforms - and in this particular instance; "Facebook"!

A simple grid of 5 x pictures represented my nine years on FB - essentially based on pictures from both myself and tagged by friends, of which I reproduce below (along with the text accompanying the images / no permission asked of the originators tho…), with pictures from within only the last 3 years featured?

The faces of other folks, and even of myself, the places where the images were photographed, all leads to memories, both good and not so good, but nevertheless treasured, as they were a part of my life, even though they might live o as "data" for others.

"I'm thankful to have 2 awesome teachers to guide me in my ITE journey. With their knowledge, we're able to grow strong and ready for the industry. They're also the director and art director of "The Days" and "Forever Fever" movie's. Sadly today is their last day teaching in ITE FLM. Hope to work with you guys in the future and see you guys real soon! Cheers!" (Pic + Words by Hua Jie BrotherBear Soh / Dated September 9, 2015)

"the beard is growing wild, the eye-patch suddenly looks like it grew bigger, the curly hair has always been natural but heightened by hair gel here ... eyes have always been small, so there ~ *smile* " (Me circa June 26, 2015)
