Illusion of Words

Past and Future

Recently my mother decided to clean up the study room, so in one afternoon we cleaned it up. Actually it was mainly my mom doing the job, while my siblings and I pored over the past. Things from ‘another life’.

There was the TSF box. We used to have our ‘detective team’ like those in Enid Blyton stories, along with the neighbour kids. And we called ourselves The Secret Five. It was silly, and funny to read the stuff inside the box. Back in those days, while we had great times together, new neighbours came. And how we tortured them! We kept them out of our secrets, built a whole stack of paper airplanes to shoot them, brought them to ‘court’ when they peeked into our ’secret hideout’ made of boxes out…

I feel really bad.

Anyways, that was one past. There were so many stuff, all the cute little soft toys, and our paper dolls. Ones we made. My mom accidentally threw a whole stack of them away, and we did go back to the huge green smelly garbage can in broad daylight to search, but it was useless. There goes all the beautiful, beautiful, beautiful stuff cut out from magazines.

But they are a past, and I doubt I’ll ever play them again.

Now we look to the future. It’s sad, but pretty much expected. Alias will end - really end - by May 2006. In other words, season 5 will be the last season ever. Well … it’s … sad. But I’m thankful for Alias, which has traveled with me nearly four years of my life, and letting me look forward to something each week. Unfortunately, all good things come to an end.

RIP, Alias, when that dreaded last day comes, when the curtain falls along with the credits of the series finale in May 2006 (which seems like a million light years away, but time passes fast). I will miss you.
