Blast from the Past

Had my friend shrieking in the middle of the night couple of nights ago.

It was 4am and Jasmine was checking out articles online regarding racial prejudice or injustices in Singapore for work purposes. She came across something relevant, called "Guest Workers or Indentured Labor? Life in Singapore's Little India" by Rupali Ghosh, read the post, read its comments, and saw a request from almost exactly 2 years back requesting the author's contact because he was thinking of making a short film based on the subject. Saw that commenter's name and thought, "Naw... it can't be".

She looked at the email on the comment, and shrieked/laughed (I bet it was something like "Oh my God!") and stopped herself. It was me, 2 years ago, coming up with a concept for a documentary film. Quite a blast from the past - partly because the post was written at the time Young & W!ld just started and we all just got to know one another; partly cos she and I was just discussing making a film together a few weeks ago. What goes around comes around. :)
