Eventful Saturday - Black Cherry Fair & Brooklands Museum

Frequent weather report checks has become one of my routine habits here in the UK whereby in this summer, days often come with rains and low temperature especially during weekend (yes, only during weekends!). 

Nonetheless, I am so blessed to finally have one sunny Saturday on this day of 12th July 2014 thus I decided not to waste it and has planned a visit to the Brooklands Museum in Weybridge (which I missed the chance of visiting last month due to the rain). My morning started early at 7.00am as I need to visit the nearby healthcare centre to get myself registered for the local GP but unfortunately the registration is closed on Saturdays and thus I am forced to return to my apartment for a short rest before heading to my weekend destination. 

It is fortunate that I missed the 10.00am train causing a delay to my schedule that I get to discover an annual event in this town – the Black Cherry Fair. Seeing many people heading towards the centre of the town from the train station and most of them standing along the pathway, I was so curious and approached a passer-by to enquire the reason for this sudden excitement in town.

 

The procession of the fair started from Free Prae Road in remembrance of the past where Henry VI granted the Abbot of Chertsey the right to hold an annual fair back in 1440 and apart from a brief hiatus in the latter part of the twentieth century it’s been held ever since, gaining its name from the cherry harvest. Nowadays it’s organised by the local Rotary Club and there are over 100 stalls at the medieval-style fair as well as a funfair and entertainments. The other major component of the event is the parade of floats and bands, which has a different theme each year to keep it interesting. Since this exciting event is just about to start in 15 minutes time, I am thus tempted to stay back and witness this rare event that has been held in Chertsey traditionally on the second Saturday in July for hundreds of years that is attended by approximately 15000 people from all over the country. I followed the troop and walked to the nearby Abbey field after the procession, and have had a look at their local fun-fair. The only different is that the fun-fair is in the morning while in Malaysia they are mostly at night; and in addition, I seem to be the only Chinese in this crowd. 

It was about noon when I continued my journey to Weybridge. With a 1.6km walk from the train station, I finally arrived at the Brookland Museum. By the entrance fee of £11.00 (approximately RM60), I get to visit the Motoring Village, Aircraft & Aviation display and the London Bus Museum. Brooklands Museum is on the site of the world's first purpose-built motor racing circuit and houses collections of cars, motorcycles and bicycles, particular from the heyday of the track until it closed in 1939. Nonetheless not to my utmost interest, I left the museum after strolling there for about 2 hours.

 

Having enough of cars and motors for the day, I gave up another 2.56km walk to the Mercedez-Benz World as I am partially worn-out. Travelling back to Chertsey and took an early shower for the evening and relaxing on the phone ends my day with much joy.

梦如人生，人生如梦 2

人生的开始， 有如一张白纸，经过岁月的洗礼，留下了不同的痕迹。无论增添的是什么色彩，都回不了那当初的洁白。人生的阅历，经验的吸取，都让你回不到过去。

经验多了，单纯少了。 

财富多了，善良少了。 

物质多了，快乐少了。 

成就多了，健康少了。

The Broken Wings

Grateful for being surrounded by angels landing a helping hand when I am being pulled down by the fallen ones whom were once my guardians and salvation. The extravagant hope of the mortal to embrace the wing of an angel will never be permitted and therefore the Milky Way exists to draw the infinite line between the heavenly and the earthling. The mortal is hence doomed to suffer the agony of misery and despair struggling to fix the broken wings once discarded by the heaven with the hope to fill the gap between the possible and impossible.

存在

多少人走着却困在原地
多少人活着却如同死去
多少人爱着却好似分离
多少人笑着却满含泪滴
谁知道我们该去向何处
谁明白生命已变为何物
是否找个藉口继续苟活
或是展翅高飞保持愤怒
我该如何存在

多少次荣耀卻感觉屈辱
多少次狂喜卻倍受痛楚
多少次幸福卻心如刀绞
多少次灿烂卻失魂落魄
谁知道我们该梦归何处
谁明白尊严已沦为何物
是否找个理由隨波逐流
或是勇敢前行争脫牢笼
我该如何存在 

谁知道我们该去向何处
谁明白生命已变为何物
是否找個藉口继续苟活
或是展翅高飞保持愤怒
谁知道我们该梦归何处
谁明白尊严已沦为何物
是否找个理由隨波逐流
或是勇敢前行争脫牢笼
我该如何存在

寻之.空 3

肉体和灵魂共存了那么多年，为何还是那么陌生？理性的代价，就是连酒醉也还是清醒的。天枰的两端，没有一个重量值是相对和相称的。热闹的人群中，还是只有寂寞最了解我。独自一个人暗黑的夜里，一首好歌，一杯红酒享受着人生那零碎的记忆和剪接的片断。原来我还是那个最无法了解的自己。

寻之.空 2

反反复复，都输在同一个原点。前进不了的灵魂，漂浮在天于地之间。冥界之解脱，所需的不是一把钥匙，而是一把锁。逆行，也许会更接近放晴的天空。
