Her name is Minna, she used to travel with her friends to Kuching in 1960, At that time, they cannot afford a flight, nor there is any airport or plane nearby. In fact they don't even have proper documents to enter Malaysia. They just know from people in town that in the deep village in Tebas, an old guy does transport
people to Kuching using self built wooden boat. They contacted this guy and set to leave for Kuching several days
later. They leave at night and they went thru the dark ocean of storms and rains. The boat's motor went down halfway and they had to stop in a nearby island. They were not scared at all, nor her friend.my aunt is probably 17 at that time. There were hardly anyone living in that island, they were lucky a local offered them boarding and stayed there for almost 5 days until the boat got to work again. I was told afte the boat finally worked again, it went down again before they were about to reach the jetty in Kuching. They arrived in Kuching before dawn, before anyone can find out. The boat guys contact in Kuching housed them that morning and did necessary contact for them and bring them to see my aunts relative in Kuching. As a boy I saw some of her pictures taken
in Kuching. I didn't know she has to go through so much adventures just for sightseeing in Kuching. But that was her, she loved traveling and has probably travelled a lot of cities in Asia. She came to visit me last month here in Tokyo and we had a good time. That's how she got time to tell me her stories. I wish I had more time to be with my relatives. Listening to their legends has really become my cup of tea.

鬼迷心竅
曲:李宗盛
詞:李宗盛
曾經真的以為人生就這樣了
平靜的心拒絕再有浪潮
斬了千次的情絲 卻斷不了
百轉千折它將我圍繞
有人問我你究竟是那裡好
這麼多年 我還忘不了
春風再美也比不上你的笑
沒見過你的人不會明瞭
是鬼迷了心竅也好
是前世的姻緣也好
然而這一切已不再重要
如果你能夠重回我懷抱
是命運的安排也好
是你存心的捉弄也好
然而這一切已不再重要
我願意隨你到天涯海角
雖然歲月總是匆匆地催人老
雖然情愛總是讓人煩惱
雖然未來如何不能知道
現在說再見會不會太早

Tau Cross
"...And in reality the Saint showed great veneration and affection for the Tau; while speaking he would often recommend it and write it himself at the foot of the letters he sent, as if his mission consisted, according to the words of the prophet, in marking the Tau on the foreheads of the men who wail and weep, honestly being converted to Christ.".
BONAVENTURA DA BAGNOREGIO, The Life of St Francis of Assisi
(Legenda maior), chap. IV. 1079
I got this Tau Cross from a trip to Furen Daxue in XinZhuang, Taipei a while back. Was just checking it's history and realized why it stays with me.
