勿忘

 Lest we forget.

23 years ago we left everything behind to start a new life abroad.

As we were busy tasting the whole new world ahead of us, the news hits like a bomb went off.

I know the Australians had not a clue the difference between all Asians, much less the Chinese and Hongkongese.  To most Australians, this is like another episode in the War series but the care they displayed during that time did help a lot of us get through.

Mind you, that's 23 years ago and internet was not the norm.  I can still remember all of us, be that from HK, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Taiwan, or China, would gathered together nervously everyday immediately after the event.... word could not even describe our fears for our love ones back home.

We shed our tears together as one.  How can we forget?
