When I lacked the desire to capture moments on my camera during special trips with my family, I knew that something was wrong. Some of you may have noticed a slowing down of activity on my blog. Posts have become more and more infrequent cos I have too little material (i.e. videos and pics) for a decent entry.
For the past few weeks, I've had gone with my family to places we've never been to together. One was the trip to East Coast Park for a cycle, one kid on board each parent's vehicle. It was really cool and the kids enjoyed the ride. However, it rained so we only rode for less than half an hour. Another was to Changi Airport's T3, gallery and race-car exhibit. Yet another would be the visit to the Esplanade for some live Rainbow Bear performance and watching the boats go by at the waterfront. We've enjoyed ourselves but I've got nothing to show or illustrate the fond memories. My camera was entirely untouched.
Joshua did say that he found it weird that I had not whipped out my trusty black box and seized the chance to eternalize the noteworthy moments with visual evidence. Am I becoming too lazy or have I been so busy with meeting people, managing the household, involving in ministry and serving my family that I was too exhausted to take photos? Perhaps I've become more interested in enjoying the experience than making permanent the memories? I don't really know for sure. All I know is that I'll probably regret it in the future if I don't buck up now.
Thankfully, the trip to the zoo on Children's Day was somewhat documented. Maybe, I was motivated by my friends' zeal when they snapped away at every opportunity. However, my meager 20 pictures are peanuts compared to their hundred plus photos taken for the journey alone. Ah... so am I too lazy or too busy after all?
