Had a phone call from my mom late last night. She informed me that one of our church pastors, Mr. Tan Har Yong, had died of a sudden heart attack, at the age of 54. I thought to myself, “How can this be?” This person was only in his early 50′s, slim, healthy (as far as I know), and never smoked. And yet, with one snuff, his life ended. May his soul rest in peace.
Life is fleeting. You may agree or disagree with me, but it doesn’t matter. What matters is that we should live life to the fullest, but instead there are many of us who treat life like it was cruel to us. The saddest part is that some of my loved ones think that life has been horrible to them (maybe because of me).
Well I won’t live life like that. Life is so precious that every day, it’s a treat for me to wake up and smell the coffee (that one’s for you, D). I might not be the most religious person you’ll ever meet, but I do say a thank you prayer to God each morning and night. That’s the least I can do.

Enjoy life and don’t sweat the small stuff.
I try to remember there are so many people who are less fortunate than I. No matter how bad things may seem at any given time,I have so many blessings in my life.
It is important to live life to the fullest. While that’s different for each of us, the resulting sense of satisfaction in our lives is the same.
As for today, it’s early just now, and I can smell the coffee brewing…so I’m going to go have some!
