Shuwen is my name
I am Shuwen

I love photography, beauty, fortune, and worldly possessions.
I adore fawns, bunnies, starbucks, and eiffel tower.

Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.
Sophistication is part and parcel of life.
Life is like a book of unravelling mysteries.
My life is God's novel, God is the author of my soul.

Poly life had truly been a remarkable and life changing experience for me, and I'm definitely looking forward for more amazing times ahead. Speaking of poly life, have you ever foresee yourself attending a class gathering after graduation? Ten years later, twenty years later. What about forty years later? Is it possible? Well, why not?

My dad just gotten an opportunity to attend an impromptu gathering in a two days one night chalet at Pulau Kukup, a spectacular kampong town with the scenic view of the sea side. Obviously, my mum and I were fortunate enough to witness this thrilling occasion first hand. It was an amazing experience for me I should say. Upon mingling around with those 1970's SP alumni, I watched how they were having a jolly good time catching up on one another, reminiscing those good old glorious times. I was very moved myself, this feeling and the whole atmosphere itself is really something beyond words could describe. Those old folks were rather a comical bunch, including my dad, making a joke out of himself for wearing his shirt the wrong way.

Meanwhile, I was rather surprised how they were overwhelmed with gratitude for my contribution. It was merely a coincident that I brought along my Nikon camera wanting to bring back some captions of the Pulau Kukup. Somehow, I became their personal photographer for this trip. They even told my parents that they insisted on me joining them on their next trip to Vietnam, and they will be more than willing to sponsor my trip there. As much as they are grateful towards me, I myself is also very grateful towards them, which as such, I had a total change of impression of the oldies nowadays. I don't deny that by actual fact I don't have a look of my current age, which majority, or perhaps all of those folks there thought that I'm still 14 or 15. That didn't surprise me. But what's surprising to me was that when I had dialogues with them. After a meal I went to accompany my dad to mingle around his cliques poly mates. My parents didn't prompt me to do so, in fact, I did it at my own account. Initially I thought that they would probably treat me in an annoying manner like how adults speak to young teenagers. Instead, even when they do not know my actual age, the way they exchanged conversations with me is like I am being treated like an adult, which I totally appreciate and respect that a lot.



What a perfect moment of escapade accompanied along with such a meaningful life lesson. For such a time like this, I want to do nothing else other than to thank God.
