Do we all really have to lose something in order for us to realise it's importance?

Because, people would only notice what you've been doing until you stop doing it, isn't it?

So, really, is it a must to let go of something only to know what you have lost?

All because, very few, if none, has foresight, and thus, cannot see beyond the consequences.

All because, very few too, has the sufficient maturity to make the most out of circumstance to avoid conflict.

Shall we not make the most and continue building from what we have?

After all, doing something about our worries rather than whinge and rant and despair upon it is often the solution.

The Day Death Paid Grandma A Visit

On a day that conincided with everything else - a reunion, a graduation, a birthday, Tony Blair's resignation, and other things, all that was needed to disintegrate a memorable day was a phone call.

16 days before her 94th birthday, inevitable circumstances meant my parent's visit lasted 51 hours.

And sadly, on this hard-earned certificate that required sweat, tears and blood as a prerequisite, the mention of "the tenth day of May 2007" will forever represent something else.

Why is it only when someone cared about passes, your heart is filled with nothing much but regret?

One observation of the equilibrium of life upon one's demise is, normally, you'd be full of glee when someone despised goes, and you'd be overwhelmed by grief when someone cherished passes. So I guess this feeling is a good one.

Whatever it is, there can only be two things we can be sure of in life...

1) We will pay taxes
2) We will all die

Goodbye Ah Ma!
