After having dinner with dad, my sis and my brother in law, dad suddenly asked, "Do you want to follow Eddy or with us?" All of us were confused and only then did he realize that she does not stay with us anymore, well physically. That got me thinking, times really have changed. The moments that we were still young and carefree, innocent and non-judgmental. Fond memories I had when I was still a little kid and memories that was equal to a kid's nightmare are just embedded at the back of my brain.
Fast forwarding through teenage years, I was just the boyish rebellious guy. Didn't care about studies and looking at girls, skipping classes to play games in the arcade, a world of my own. Fond memories which introduced me the meaning of friends were when I was in scouts. I guess everyone has that best buddy from secondary school and till today they stayed by your side, well not literally... unless you are married to that person.
Anyways, counting the years even my fingers and toes could not keep up, a fact is fact when i had to understand people come and people go. My parents are getting old, especially my dad, and they have done so much for me and my sister, but what could be do to give it back to them? i did ask this question to my friends, and mostly said the same thing:"Live life well." Though short, it was meaningful. live life well. get a degree, get a good job and get married. well my sister is already there and having a baby, AND ITS A GIRL! as for me, well, i do not know when am i going to get married. not anytime soon im thinking. though previously i thought i would be getting married this year. thats another story.
Bottom line is that, time is ticking, each day is unrepeatable and each second of out life has only 1 chance. use it wisely, simply cause, as much as we want to, we can't turn the hands of the time. Dont regret any mistakes made, just learn from it. after all we are just human. we control our decisions but not our future.
I remember a short quote:"Don't worry about tomorrow as today has its own problems"
Grasp those moments that makes you smile cause one day when the time comes, we will need it.
take care (:
