Recently i went to my friend's DAD furneral. It was just 2 days ago. I took a half day leave and went to pay him a visit as well as to catch up with old times. Talking to him brought back fond memories of me and him in my ex-company. We through hell and grown stronger and more resilent. Thinking back it was a quite an enriching experience.
As i offered the joss sticks to my friend's DAD, thoughts just flown through me like a stream of river non-stop.
Life and Death, it is really just an instance. When i was young and healthy, i really don't give much thought of my health. It was only through one of the instance back when i was still in the army. That time i got 2 tickets to go sentosa to play the water sports games and i ask my friend along. I told him that i couldn't really swim (i tried to but couldn't really cross the hurdle but 1 of these days i will definitely learn it). We were trying all sorts of water sports gamess. There was this hanging on to a tripeze and when the person will push you and you just hang on and glide through the air till you reach the end and you jump off. It was fun when i saw my friend doing it and i thought maybe 2m+ i won't drown and i want to try it. Believe me when i jump and landed into the pool, wow wow wow, it is really really deep, i guess is about 3m. I was struggling and struggling in the pool and the oxygen is getting less and less and less. I was like is this it, is this how am i going to die? So many thoughts went into my mind at that instance. There were so many things that i still need to do :), i should not just give up. At that point, i guess someone answered my thoughts, a lifeguard appear out of now where and saved me with a vest.
Just to let you all know, it was a tremendous relief to me. I was like wow i am getting a new lease of life.
These thoughts came back. Do cherish the ones that you love, you never know. Do the things that you always longed to do be it like relationship, hobby, craft, entreprener. Just DO IT "NIKE"
