Family , Friends , Future

Imagine you have a timer that tells you the day which you may "disappear" from the surface of the Earth to some place call Heaven ... Nirvana ... Sea of Stars. Tons of names actually for that ... but if have such a device , would you want it ? Some may think that its quite a burden to know of such event, create unecessary stress and many issues .

But does it ever cross your mind that , when you have such a gadget with you to inform you about the day your time is up, it would probably change the way you look at life ?

You probably wouldn't snap at those you hold dear so easily . You would try to spend more time with your friends to enjoy movies , games or even just talking over a cup of coffee . You would probably take more time off your computer screen to look at your Mum and Dad a little bit more. The fine wrinkles and greying hair that seems to appear on them more often , then you realise they could hardly hear you as they age.

How do you really make use of your finite time ? Turning 25 pretty soon , if you ask me what have i been doing ... i think i dare to tell you i've probably miss out a lot in life for the past 25 years ... so on average i still have like 55 years more to go , base on the mean lifespan . So 25 years of study 35 years of working ... i will be like 60 years old ... then i have like 20 years of life left if i'm still healthy and not senile ... i'll probably be too old to take roller coasters , going for late night suppers , running everyday , my friends may be too old to gather almost every weekend ... So ? i'm not going to waste the next 35 years chasing after material gains. Just to make sure i make enough to keep the family and myself going. I'll probably waste 35 years and likely regret on that .

Looking at people face to face and talking to them directly cannot be compared to "LOL" on those social network . You can't hear your friends laughter, the wrinkles they make when they smile too hard ... their facial expression ... their irritated look when you tease them ...

Does it occur to you that 15 years ago ... handphones were so alien to us ... pagers were the norm .... you still hung out with your friends ... talking over those phonecards operated phones ... when meeting up at one location is like some holy promises and no one will "put you aeroplane" by simply giving you a call to tell you they cannot make it .... somehow or rather ... i feel that its easy to overlook all these ... but as a reminder to myself and the folks who may read this ... don't forget that we don't have lifespan like elves or dwarfs who live hundred of years . Go for physical communication whenever possible and don't pass up on those gathering events ... who knows when the next one will be right ?

Love your old folks at home ... and love the folks around you ... Life is indeed precious ... and probably no words can explain it ... you have to experience it with the right attitude and the right actions ...

What is your dream ...

Hello folks ,

My blog isn't dead, its just that i am so busy with school work that i have no time to sit down and reach into my soul to write what i would like to share. I am staring at my work most of the time wondering how am i suppose to study to score in the exams so that my degree looks a bit more ShinY to capture the attention of my future employer. If you do not already know, i am currently in my 4th year doing a bachelor in environmental engineering. Sounds great & promising ? Thats what i thought so too when i saw the title of the course but it turns out that the prospect isn't that great when you talk about being empolyed. Let me tell you this, this isn't what i wanted. My dreams were more inclined towards socialogy or psychology, but i wasn't smart enough back then to realise the importance of going into JCs so that its easier for me to land in an Arts Faculty instead of an Engineering one. I prefer conversation to dispel people's fear , offering comfort , a listening ear when no one is willing to. Simply because i know how painful and lonely when you so much wanted someone to be around to listen to you but yet there isn't a single soul you can turn to. That is something i wish nobody has to go through , and i think its something worth every effort from me comparing to what i am doing now. Its a dream that i will try to fufill if possible in the future ... if its something you love doing ... you are very much likely to excel at it. What is your dream ? Do you like what you are doing now ? Lets not talk about regretting what you never did , because its over and you cannot turn time back . We lament at our past decisions for not accomplishing certain things but after complaining we must get back to the present and continue to move forward. Time is something which escapes even the most powerful and rich person, eventually your time will end so don't spend too much time harping on things you cannot change. Why not think about what you can do in the future to fufill something which you wanted to but not had the chance to. For me , i probably take some postgrad diploma if i have the chance to afterall if it cannot be my dream career , it can still be my hobby right ^^ .

So do you like what you are doing now ? If not , why don't you try looking at another perspective ... you might have some new understanding which might turn out to be better than what you think ... Being an engineer is not that bad ... as long as i have sufficient income to lead a peaceful life ... have a home ... going for simple dinner and movies ... some holidays once a while ... i think its pretty enjoyable ... i bet you for it ... Life's most enjoyable moments often doesn't cost you much ... Moments that warm your feelings up create the memories that will last you a life time ... when the time comes for you to recall your pasts ... these are the moments that will come to you ... and not how much cars, bags, shoes you own. Its not too late to discover this ... we all know it ... but we simply overlook it ... here is my reminder to you peeps ^^
