Had a rare chance to have dinner outside, alone.

Sitting at IMM’s Mos Burger (the exact same routine I had when I came here for haircut 5mths ago), watching the different groups of ppl in the restaurant, enjoying the company of their friends.

Watching families bringing their small kids out for shopping, probably out for walks.

Watching how the kids are enjoying themselves, running about, fighting over the Sesame Street ride. The innocent looks on their faces.

Suddenly had a flashback. I was here with my family exactly 1 year ago, when I was recoverig from a depression-like mentality (I went into depression mode unknowingly after witnessing a traffic accident on the PIE, although I appeared normal to many). At that time, looking at those kids, I was wondering to myself, where did they come from? What will they be doing when they grow up? Where will they go to after they die?

Felt like I was alone at that time.

Have long since gotten out of it. But I still can’t help but think that life is really short. In the blink of an eye, friends of the same age are getting married, having kids of their own. Very soon the kids will grow up and have their own families. Time will fly.

What’s important now is to enjoy life while I can. Sad things, unhappy things. Think of how u can benefit from them. I always hang on to the thought, all things happen for a reason. There’s bound to be something to be learnt from everything, unhappiness inclusive. With the correct mindset, treating setbacks as challenges, staying optimistic and happy, you will find life is actually wonderful in its own way.

That’s how we grow up =)

Happy New Year to all my readers!

As I did my countdown watching Cruel Temptations, I can’t help but think what resolutions should I set for myself for 2010.

I know it’s the concern of uncles & aunties regarding my Mr Right, and it’s always hard to reject their offer to matchmakings. Hv only 6 words to say, let nature take its own course. =)

Happy new year once again!

Just heard from my mum that an auntie’s granddaughter passed away  days ago.

Shocked at the news, as the girl was only 6 years old, and I met her downstairs only a few days before.

Apparently the girl suffered from 惊风 (infantile convulsion), which affects kids between the age of 1 – 5yrs old, and is the top 4 most common illness among kids (according to baidu, other sources – acupunture.com, wikisource).

Never underestimate the power of frights. That’s the reason why parents (except those who do not believe in chinese medicine) always feed their child 惊风散 – a kind of powder that helps to reduce the amount of fright in a child.

Rest In Peace Charlene. You will be remembered in our hearts.
