[My Cousins]
Look how much we have changed over the years? I was around 5-6years of age in the picture below!(youngest cousin not in the pic below cuz he's a 1990s baby,he was yet to be born!) Fond childhood memories with my cousins always flows back into mind and as I indulge in reminiscence, I always come to the point where I feel that I would most gladly want to live in the past if I could.
Finally got a chance to take a picture after so many years, look how much we have grown!
Sometimes I really wish that I could turn back time.

[I can't bear to think how it will be like when I am old...]
Just read this article from:
The New Paper
Sad case of S'pore doctor who dumped cleaner mum
Chinese New Year Celebrations is about family reunions and renewals but this Chinese New Year has brought me face to face with the realities of an ageing population. It's not a abstract idea that somewhere out there, people are getting old,our population is ageing. Reality does bites when you see it happens in your own family.
And this topic has been evolving around my family during this Chinese New Year period.
The news report is about a doctor who locked out his widowed mother from his flat.This woman, now 66, worked as a cleaner to put her son through medical school. 'I was the proudest woman in the auditorium that day,' she said of his convocation. Two years ago, she transfered ownership of her flat to him. He threw her out a day later.
Why? Because she wanted to continue working as a cleaner, and his wife did not like it.
My goodness.
A doctor who earns more than $200,000 a year threw his mum out because of his wife?!Did he totally forget how his mum slogged more than half of her lifespan just to see him through medical school? And this is how he repays kindness.
Jerk
Did he spend his years of studies in vain? Obtaining knowledege that lacks of such moral values?! A doctor who has so much in knowledge up there but yet owns an empty heart.
That's sad
I wonder how he's going to tell his son when he gets bigger, perhaps not the truth...
But have you ever wonder if one day your child shuts his door upon you, your blow will be much greater than others.

[A walking stick]
I was wondering sometimes do we ever really cherish our own things? I do sometimes ponder how I devalue the items that I bought by casting them aside once I reach home and only to use it once there's a need for it. It's just like leaving handphones or vaulables lying around that proves to show that we do not cherish our own things.
But my granny taught me likewise...
Her actions made me feel ashame of myself...
She lost her walking stick recently while buying food as offerings for our late grandfather. Lugging bags of groceries and fresh poultry from the wet market and her difficulty in walking, I can come to an understanding of why she lost her walking stick. Not to her carelessness, not to her absent minded state but to the difficulty of carrying everything home herself.
She instructed my uncle to go look for it the following day but to no avail. Not giving up the single least bit of hope, she decided to go striaght there looking for it again. Eventhough she still couldn't find what she was looking for, she has already relish the value of her walking stick.
I feel that she has already got what she was looking for.

[pls drive carefully]
Some distractions got into my thoughts just now while I was driving towards my destination
I was on a highway towards the east when couple of cars in front of me started to brake all at the same time
Driving at a relatively high speed with my mind in deep thoughts
I jammed my foot on the brake bringing the car to a sudden stop
While I judged that my e-brake wasn't in time to stop what was going to happen
I started to swerve the car in both directions
Luckily, the cars infront did not come into a complete stop, giving me the extra time and space for my car to move forward
For everytime I e-brake, the shrieking sound that comes from the immdiate friction between the wheels and road scares me
At the sudden moment, I thought of Xu Wei Lun...
A stranger whom made me felt sad by her passing...
Her sudden decease has brought me down into thinking how fragile life could have been sometimes
I agree with many that it's important to cherish family and friends around you
Not living life with regrets but rather living it to the fullest
I remembered I use to feel awarkard when I sms gren and rain, "love ya pal, love ya bud"(influenced by them =)) but I soon got so use to it and when I don't say missya or something, the message seems to be lack of something.
It's important to let your close ones know how you feel for them...
Why don't we start everyday by expressing our love, care and concern to our love ones?
