It has been a long time since I blogged. Perhaps too many things happened recently. One of my auntie (my father’s Sister in law) passed away. I was not really extremely closed with her but she is just one of my relatives that I respected. It has been a long time since I cried for someone.

When sending her off the last journey to the crematorium, a lot of things came into my mind. I realised a fact that time is definitely running out. I look back 15 yrs ago I was still on a trip in  thailand with my auntie but now she is on her way to another side. Time is really short and its definitely not waiting for anyone. This just means that my parents are getting old each day as well. Sometimes perhaps we are too busy with things and slowly forget to say I love you to our parents or look into their eyes and say a big Thank You for things that they have done for us. Do it now … you never know what will happen. Life is so unexpected, losing 1 friend and a relative in 1 month is definitely not a good experience.

Treasure your loves ones and friends, if you have not contacted them for many years, start to find them back for a good chat and coffee. Remember do not regret, so do it !

I just heard from my friend of a news that is so heart wrenching. One of my secondary school friend died in a car accident yesterday. It was really a shocking news.

A lot of things came to my mind and I really feel that life is really fragile. Perhaps, many a times we do not think that these kind of things might happen to us. Many a times we all think that our friends and ourselves are going to be fine.  We perhaps has taken things for granted.

He is the only son in the family.

I guess the pain of the people left behind is definitely going to be greater. I hope my other 2 friends can recover fast, both emotionally and physically.

Dear friends who are reading my blog, please do not take your life for granted, life is definitely fragile and weak.

Have you ever wonder if you are left with only a few months to live with what will it be your reaction?? What will you be doing ? Will you kill yourself, to bring forward your “Dead-line” or Will you do something that you ever have not dared to do but because of this incident you decided to do it?

I recently watched this movie called “The Bucket List”, staring Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson. It is about two guys with diversed background, a blue collar mechanic, carter and a billionaire hospital magnate, cole both being diagnosed with Cancer, becoming friends while undergoing treatments. Both are diagnosed with a year or less to live. Carter(Morgan Freeman) begins to write a “a bucket list” or things to do before “he kicks the bucket”. Upon hearing that he has only a less than a year to live, he tossed the bucket list on the floor, which was picked up by cole and cole Pushes carter for fulfiling the bucket list together.

They begin a journey in doing the things that they always wanted to do but for some reason they didn’t do it because of time, because of family, because “Im too old for this”, because of many other excuses. They went on skydiving, race car driving, having a tattoo and many more. This show has several very important messages.

In life, the feeling of lost  hurts but definitely REGRETS hurts even more. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way you know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked and there is no reason not to follow your heart. Regretting of not doing something is by far in my dictionary the most painful experience that I would want to avoid. No want wants to die, even people who wants to go to heaven do not want to die to get there and yet death is the destination that all men has in common, so why procasinate in the things that you would want to achieve in life?

Ask yourself this every morning “If tomorrow would be my last day of my life, Will I be doing the things I am going to do today?” If the answer is no for too many morning, You need to change and change is the only constant in life.

At the end of the show, cole and carter died of cancer, they fulfiled all the items in the bucket list together, even the last item on list, Witnessing something truly majestic. Maybe ask yourself, do you have a bucket list? Must you wait till that you know your final hours in your life to do it? 

Well, life is definitely short so live it and do what you want to do in life and never regret.  Don’t waste your time living in someone else’s life, living with the results of other people thinking. Follow you heart and you will know what you truly want to become.
