I already face the problem of describing places without the aid of photos, so I know exactly what you mean, Chun See. Indeed, things transform too fast here. Walter, it seems that you already are leaving something behind for your son in your blog. In due time, he'll appreciate all the photos and descriptions of your family outings.

I personally feel saddened that I have devoted so much time and energies to my work that I hadn't paid attention to capturing more of my past and present in my blog. Perhaps I should do more of that, and at least leave something that money cannot buy for my son Ethan.

Spore is changing too fast. Before I can even blog about all the old places, they are rapidly transforming the present places. Too fast for individuals like us to keep up. For example, they are re-building Queenstown and Toa Payoh. So much of these 2 old estates are of significant heritage value. I went down to Margarent Drive yesterday to go to the library and noticed that many of the buildings have disappeared. The last cinema there too has shut down. I took some photos but unfortunately the battery ran out. Better take more before the remaining buildings disappear too. As I said, it is a good thing that you are capturing the present with your camera. A few decades down the road, you won't face the problem I am facing now.
