When I heard this phrase it was during the service of my friend’s father who recently passed away.
It struck me then that, if each and everyone of us were to be told and given the date and time of our passing, would we then spend our lives differently then? Refusing to listen to logic and hence following our heart in doing what we want?
to actually pursue that guy or girl we fancy, to pour out our affections, so that there will be no regret for us when we leave this place.
For me I guess, it was more so of the fear of regrets if ever come my place to go or rather leave this realm. To fear that I had left behind more than I had left. The lack of closure of my death that might cause my love ones regrets.
I remember during my NBS pageant night, I was posted this question:” if there was this one thing you can change what would it be?”
My first thought was that I would not date so early, I would not scratch on my wounds or bites, so that I can have a perfect leg, etc. However, as I ponder on that question through out that night, I would have to say, I lead a pretty wonderful life and would never change anything, cause it created me.
Life experience shaped you i guess. I have learned for instance the things that I will do again, and the things I would not. Who are the true friends in life, and the fair weathered ones. kkz. shan’t talk anyone, the medication is making me so drowsy..

Never have lost anyone so dear to me that tears drop at the mention of that event, etc. But when one see or hear grief so raw, it touches it next to your heart. Even though you might not know that person that well, but its enough to bring tears to your eyes. It is as if their grief have spread through their exhibition of that raw emotion.
Emotions are afterall emotions. Hard to explain it, hard to rationalise it. So how do u exactly comfort one when you realise that your close ones are actually hurting? One can say that its a wordless situation. I guess, in a way, your presense or even a hug is enough.
Everytime I attend a wake I feel a sense of being in another realm. You observe people making peace, you observe people grieving. Or rather in short different kinds of grieving. While me, being an outsider, intruding into their world, making them stop and come in contact with me. I guess in a way it helps, helps them keep in touch with reality.
However, I guess things are never that simple. But well, at least I hope I can be there, whenever any of my friends feel the need to grief.
Still remember that time when my grand dad died. Didn’t start grieving till the last day. Just sat there and it just hit me that he is never going to be around any longer. I think in a way I am kinda slow in accepting reality. Refusing it until the last minute, then emotions will just gush out of the damn that suddenly got bombed apart.

Was told by a liverpool supporter about this incident. About how man utd got relegated and fought back afterwards.
*one minute of silence for the players, supporters, the press, etc*
Go Man Utd! My Dream: to step on old trafford’s soil! *saw tevez face again.. shall forgive him if he scores during the next match*..
come on! we need to beat the rest! FIGHT!
jst realised that the incident happened in FEB! why why why!?
Am not saying that I am bias or what not. BUT! I cringed every time I sight Tevez in the Man Utd Jersey. *shakes head* how is this suppose to generate sales of the jersey?
I am toying with the idea that he might be a jinx. Look at West Ham. Started the season with “SEE WHO WE BROGHT?!” they were even touted the new Chelsea. And now, they are relegated.
Sobs~ a similar fate await Man Utd? I shudder at the thought of it.
Anyway, the playing style of the team is so different now. The feeling they give me is more of a charging kind of mentality. I love owen hargreves.. adore him to pieces.
WE NEED DEFENDERS! no more good defenders! maybe vidic… hmm.. BUT! Screw that ugly piece of shit. the one with the brother in the league too? Forgot his name again… Ferdinand! *mumbles mumbles*
Will stand by man utd always! JIAYOU AND GET UR INJURIES right already!
I think liverpool is shen this season… saw the liverpool and chelsea match. OMG! that goal.. superb! DOWN WITH CHELSEA! %^@#*^%#@
go go go! red devils go! man utd man utd! *chants and do war cry*
Or rather in this case it was a situation of finger itchy. WHY?! Was just pondering what should I eat from Maxwell Food Court and this brain wave came upon me to research about it online! And woe and behold, I chanced upon this amazing food website, which tells us more about Singapore, or rather Singapore in the eyes of foreigners. Woo HOO~
Butter Crab, Chill Crab, STRAWBERRY TARTS… Can anyone BE any hungrier?
Here is the weblink. There is a whole list of details about food! food! food! *stomach growling and drool coming out of mouth* Heavenly FOOD!

So sweet hor! To those who are puking stuff it. I have another side of me, but when you write a poem to someone of course priase her right? *smiles smugly* Talented friends I have. I can never do it, though I love to read. *applause applause*
To the Lion with …
Glad to have the opportunity to have known you my dear, though you tiao-ed me at our first meeting. But had enjoyed every minute with you, and would love to be there for you like you were for me. *hugs* And I think I know why do people say we are like twins. Cause we do mirror each other in certain ways. *muacks*
Forever your cow with curvy eyes. ~_~ *hearts*
Went out with Liang and his family (as in entire family with aunts) for his birthday celebration. Lunched at Holiday Inn, the Atrium. Super good Dim Sum. Ate till I wanted to kill myself. But kept getting stuff my liang, parents and aunt. *sigh*
Went off for KTV after that. That was when this thought struck me. Liang use to say that he can’t seem to seek career advice from his parents, or even view his parents as role models when he thinks of finance planning, or even homework. But I told him that from what I observe, there is one thing that he can learn from his parents, and that is how to make the marriage work.
I look at his parents and I see bliss. Superb bliss. Happiness and comfort so divine that it makes my day better just looking at it. The dad was singing off and suddenly turned to look at the mum and change the lyrics to suit her. In simplified terms. He dedicated the song to her. Saw them looking into each other eyes. What can be sweeter?
I think that the love between two old souls is the sweetest to look at. I remember when I work the service line. My favourite kind of couples is those old couples who, when they look into each other eyes, you can actually feel the love. Makes my day. 
Sincerely hope for something like that next time. To be able to look into a wrinkly old face and say I love you! Of cos, to find someone who can do the same!
