Why Complicated Life?

I got this off from my friend's FB wall. The source is unknown but I would like to share it on my blog. I find it true. Why assume and make life so difficult for yourself and others when you can just do the following..... ?
It is 2012, be different and act if you want to achieve something! :D

If I Had My Life to Live Over

By Erma Bombeck
(Written after she found out she was dying from cancer.)

I would have gone to bed when I was sick instead of pretending the earth would go into a holding pattern if I weren't there for the day.

I would have burned the pink candle sculpted like a rose before it melted in storage.

I would have talked less and listened more.

I would have invited friends over to dinner even if the carpet was stained, or the sofa faded.

I would have eaten the popcorn in the 'good' living room and worried much less about the dirt when someone wanted to light a fire in the fireplace.

I would have taken the time to listen to my grandfather ramble about his youth.

I would never have insisted the car windows be rolled up on a summer day because my hair had just been teased and sprayed.

I would have sat on the lawn with my children and not worried about grass stains.

I would have cried and laughed less while watching television - and more while watching life.

I would never have bought anything just because it was practical, wouldn't show soil, or was guaranteed to last a lifetime.

Instead of wishing away nine months of pregnancy, I'd have cherished every moment and realized that the wonderment growing inside me was the only chance in life to assist God in a miracle.

When my kids kissed me impetuously, I would never have said, "Later. Now go get washed up for dinner."

There would have been more of "I love you" and more "I'm sorry." But mostly, given another shot at life, I would seize every minute, look at it and really see it, live it...and never give it back.

Stop sweating the small stuff. Don't worry about who doesn't like you, who has more, or who's doing what. Instead, let's cherish the relationships we have with those who DO love us.

Let's think about what God HAS blessed us with. And what we are doing each day to promote ourselves mentally, physically, emotionally, as well as spiritually.

Life is too short to let it pass you by.

Life is SHORT

Sorry for the missing in action from my blog. This year had been a great and challenging year for me. When I turned 30 beginning this year, I was told it is just a NEW beginning of my life and it is going to be filled with excitement. Oh well, I had to partially agree with that as I had been busy since January till now. It was all about work and hobby at the beginning of the year, then work and just work only. 

June had been an emotional and challenging month for me as my mum's elder brother passed away suddenly. It was too sudden as he was not sick or anything. When we found out about his health, he was a walking time bomb. He had to go through an emergency open heart surgery in GH. However, he didn't make it out of the operating theater. I was one of the last few people in the family that got a glimpse and spend some time with him before he went to the OT the next day. :(

Life is just too short for us to take it for granted. We should cherish our family and friends while we are still on this earth. You can never know when it is your time. May you rest in peace, Uncle Seng. We all miss you so much.

Faithful Friends

 

It is really nice catching up with old friends. We have all known each other during our teens. Jo and Wilson will always be that special someone in my heart. During our teens, we see each other almost every weekend in church. The fun things we did together were simply amazing. Of course, there were more people in our gang. Just that everyone is out from Penang now. Jo is back from Melb for her younger brother's wedding. Gosh.. time does fly by...... everyone is getting married and settling down de. :)
