Something flashed back while I was sitting at the kitchen just now, I remembered last year Chinese New Year wasn't a good one, because he spend the whole few months at home, where I have to attend a friend's wedding without him coming along, he was involved in an accident...
Let's say if we make the imagination worse, what if he suffered from a permanent damage, joined the disable society, or even worse than that, that was the last time I saw him? I actually cried when I see him being bandaged all over, that the doctor asked him to stay back and not to move around for at least half a year, I guessed comparing to my imagination, it was a minor case already, at least I still sees him now...
Slowly from this flashed back incident I was thinking, do people really need to suffer through a great lost in order to appreciate what they have now? For example, walking can be such great torture towards certain people, that they rather not use their legs to walk or even decrease it to the minimum usage of the pair of legs... How if one day, they were unable to use their legs anymore, they do not even have to decrease the usage of their legs, sitting on the wheel chair, will they missed those days where they can walk like everyone else? Will they regret that why they were not using such god gifted pair of legs to the max before it even expires? How does it feels when something so minor became such major problem?
Appreciate even the minor acts in life, not only the major ones :)
Good day people!

something to ponder over = )
I got this from a forum, well it was so long since I last visited the forum, and came across this article which I wanted to share with all of you : )
有一隻狐狸, 在路上閒逛時, 眼前忽然出現一個很大的葡萄園,
果實纍纍, 每顆葡萄看起來都很可口, 讓牠垂涎欲滴.
葡萄園的四周圍著鐵欄桿, 狐狸想從欄桿的縫隙鑽進內,
卻因身體太胖了, 鑽不過去.
於是狐狸決定減肥, 讓自己瘦下來. 牠在園外餓了三天三夜後,
果然變苗條了, 真是皇天不負苦心人, 終於順利鑽進葡萄園內.
狐狸在園內大快朵頤. 葡萄真是又甜又香啊!!! 不知吃了多久,
牠終於心滿意足了.
但當牠想溜出園外時, 卻發現自己又因為吃得太胖而鑽不出欄桿,
於是只好又在園內餓了三天三夜, 瘦得跟原先一樣時, 才順利地
鑽出園外. 回到外面世界的狐狸, 看著園內的葡萄, 不禁感嘆:
空著肚子進去, 又空著肚子出來, 真是白忙一場啊!!
我起初以為這個故事告訴我們, 人孑然一身來到這世界,
又孑然一身的離開這個世界, 到頭來還不是白忙一場!!!
呵, 這個講故事的人卻說, 看問題要看重點.
這個故事跟人生一樣, 重點是在中間的部份:
你看, 狐狸在葡萄園內吃得多麼快樂啊!!
"即使生命是一場空, 也要空得很充實﹔縱然人生是白忙一場, 也要忙得很快樂."

Once in a lifetime?
Things that you can't reach, things that you know you will never reach, and things that you are so sure that in your life you will never gonna touch it, is always that beautiful, is always that precious, is always that fairytale...
Stars for me is always that beautiful, the moon for me is always that tender and the sunset for me is always that touching, those things will always remind you how if you won't see it the next day,that's why we always drives down to beautiful beaches and places, to adore this sceneries,to show that at least I have no regrets even if I do not see them again the next day, this is the so called "Once in a lifetime scenery", how about once in a lifetime companion?
People often watch movies, they watch movies to try find their stories in it, or even wanted the story to be like what they wanted in the reality world, that's why love stories often touches hearts, especially sorrow hearts, where they tend to be so widely awake in the middle of the night, being a pathetic couch potato, watching movies, thinking which part of the movies can be apply to the real world, in order to have a good excuse to cry over it, how sad...
I once had it, I once hold it, and I am pretty sure if it ever go deeper, it will make me happy, but why do I lost it, because going deeper isn't a one sided fact to be encourage, it affects a lot, there, it stopped me from expressing myself, stopped me from telling the truth, even stopped me from letting it know, how much I love and miss it, I never believe love do works in such a way, in such a time frame, but it does, what do we call it? A miracle? Aren't miracle suppose to show happy endings? Or maybe my life's miracle isn't doing it very well, it made me restrained myself more, and start to doubt myself, are these feelings real? Yes they are, they existed and waiting to be told, but I kept them behind the walls, wishing that the whispers will never reach a single soul, a forever kept beauty, if love is beautiful...
Now... After all these, I do not wish for anything, except wishing that I could smile from my heart again, wish granted? :)

How much
How much does it take to learn?
How many relationships does it take to be the forever one
How many more steps does it take to touch the smile of happiness
How many miles more to know where you actually stand in his heart
How much I can do to make myself believe that u are the one
How many liters more I have to shed before I tell myself to stop
U asked " What did you do for this relationship?"
I said " I cannot give you materialistic items to make you happy, I can only give you love and care that will last forever, which is now fading..."
No one's fault, no one to be blame, just that its not our fate, we both just can't take it anymore...
See the smile? It's all memories now :) Gone for good

Thoughts
Sitting on the beach
Watching which is the brightest star
Seeing night boats catching
Looking at the lighthouse
smelling the sea breeze
Digging little crap holes
Nice
If there is wine
Nice
When there is a shoulder to rely on
Nice
If we can go somewhere so beautiful so far away from this place
Nice
If we do not need to think so much that stressed us
Nice
If we can just do whatever we wanted
Don't you think so? Back to the reality world with pile of assignments, ah...
