I took a short break from writing the background story to this blog, the beginnings of reuniting ANZ Military Brats of Singapore, not only because its a long story (and can't be told any other way - i've tried) but also because i wanted to try something i've wanted to for a long while.. create a wmv, a video.
I heard Paul Anka's song 'The Times of your Life' for the first time again after many years while the newly created brat group was beginning to grow and the song took on a new meaning to me. It wasn't just a hit song which was released in 1975 (coincidently the year we arrived in Singapore) nor that it was the song used in the Kodak ad. It was because it fitted how i was feeling at the time, it resonated and struck a chord within.
The video, my first attempt, is very amateurish and won't mean much to those who didn't experience what is seen in the photos. It is a creative way to express when words just won't do.
It is only for us who do remember ... because we want to.
I hope you enjoy it as much as i did making it.
