It is easy to miss someone, but hard to forget that person, especially you are close, have strong feeling for that person. So don't stay away, keep in touch. For you will never know when that person will not be around ... forever.
Should that person be gone, cry but for awhile. Don't dwell on the sadness, or you will miss the happy memories you have shared together.
Life may seem short, but don't make it shorter.
If I should die, I will not want those I care and love to be sad. I want them to remember the happy time we shared.
Don't cry for me when I am gone, you should cry with me when I am still around, to share time with me, and keep me company when I am lonely. Smile with me, laugh with me. When I am gone, I will not hear your crying. I can't comfort you, which I very much will want to do.
I want to share time with you while I still can. Will you let me?

Parenting
How do you know if you are a good parent? I don't ....
Some people will say I am not doing the right thing. Maybe so. All I know is that I will do my best to see to their needs. Will I be doing the right thing? Am I doing the correct thing? Maybe yes, maybe no.
Tonight, I did my best to see that my kids get the smoked duck, even though I have to walked in the rain, to another store. I had always tried to look for what they wanted, even if I had to go a great distance. When I see their smiles, I feel happy.
Yes, I spoil them, but I can spoil them only while I am alive. Who knows how long I will be around .....

sleeping beauty
Sleepy ...
Why do I feel more sleepy when I am in morning shift than when I am doing afternoon? Afterall, I do the same amount of sleep, or lack of sleep hehe, around 4hrs. I find myself closing my eyes, then poop! I had dozed off.
I don't know, maybe it has to do with the time of the day. Can some intellectual give me an answer? Can it be due to other mysterious forces inside our body that tell us to stop working, go find a bed!.
I don't actually sleep other than night-time, sleeping during daylight makes me sick, sometimes. So, I remain awake, at least trying to, hahaha.

wedding I was waiting for ...
Often we get invitation by people we hardly knew, but being colleagues, we get invited. Often we wouldn't bother if we couldn't make it. Even if we can spare an hour.
Yesterday wedding was special to me. If I had only 5 minutes, I would still make an effort to go. I wouldn't want to miss hers, even after my wife had asked me to skip it. Others I will, but not hers.
I don't like to attend wedding alone, this occasion happened the same, I ended up being alone, though my other colleagues were there. But it doesn't matter. It is my ex-shiftmate wedding and she was the reason I was there. I knew I would ended up alone again. Still, I was glad I went. I got to see her.
She looked so lovely in a wedding gown (well, I don't know what is the Malay term for the dress she was in). She looked so radiance ... as I watched her from a distance, I felt tears, like a father would.
Wishing her marital bliss always ....

invitation
One reason I hardly go when I receive an invitation is because I do not like to be there alone. Which usually happened.
As it happened again on Saturday. Of course, if I get an invitation at all, which do not happen often.
Which is better. getting an invitation or not at all? Sometimes I feel I am better off not getting any. The only thing is, I will be disappointed if the person is important to me. I will really like to be there. Even if I am alone there ....

marathon a thorn

Qualifying time will separate the runners from walkers
I REFER to Monday's report, "Next step in the marathon - a bigger people's event".
Senior Parliamentary Secretary (Community Development, Youth and Sports, and Transport) Teo Ser Luck said he wanted the Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon to be a bigger people's event.
I am all for having healthy events, but judging from last Sunday's run, I am against the idea of making it any bigger because it would inconvenience others.
Mr Teo mentioned other countries having smaller numbers for their marathons. Maybe it is because the participants in those events are real runners, unlike in Singapore. From what I saw, many people were just walking most of the way.
The organiser should allow only true runners to participate. Maybe having a minimum qualifying time would separate runners from others who are there for the walk. After all, this is a major event in Singapore.
Also, have the marathon in a place where there will be minimal disruption to other activities. I would not like to join an event that will be a nuisance to others.

loving the cooking
When I mentioned I wanted to cook, my wife told me it was easier to go downstair to buy. It would also avoid to do the cleaning up. I wanted to cook, so I told her I would clean up. And it would not be a bother to me.
With the convenience of food availability nowadays, it is easy to dismiss cooking. Yes, some may choose homecook food for the health factor. But it doesn't necessary mean the person cooks because of the love for cooking.
Some people cook because they have to, some people cook because they want to. A person has to love every bit in the process, from buying, to preparing, to cooking and finally to washing up. That is me ...
By the way, she enjoyed the dish so much that she wanted the same the next day. I may not be a great cook. but to me, loving to cook makes it worth every minute I spend in the kitchen. If only I feel that same inclination to want to cook everyday, haha. I admit, I do feel lazy often.
