This isn’t new, but i came across this again on YouTube. I remembered the first free hugs video that came out of Sydney about a yr ago and it really had a profound impact on me. I watched it over and over again. It was truly inspirational and it did put life somewhat in perspective for me. I also remember telling myself back then that if i had a blog, i would definitely put it up. The awesome song from the Sick Puppies helps too, which was specially written for this campaign. Kudos to those in the video who tried to do it in Singapore, knowing full well they’d be mostly viewed with contempt, and at best, a frosty reception.

The original video from Sydney
After watching these videos again, I felt uplifted and yet a slight sense of melancholy. I didn’t really have time to reflect during my period overseas cos it’s been pretty hectic, and it dawned on me what I knew all along. If you didn’t already know, I’m usually a very private person, so you wont find much (if any) of my inner personal thoughts and details here. But to all my loved ones (I’m sure you know who you are – family, girlfriend, friends) I miss you all deeply and ultimately, nothing could be more important to me.
