So hello there to my fellow internet users,
It's already late evening as I settle down to prepare for today's post.
I was busy running around the business district of Singapore.
Alright, personal matters aside and not really shoved to one side though,
I'll relate my personal experience every now and then, it's just my style of blogging.
As I made my way to school today for pathology exam,
I noticed a woman with a headband fetching her son to school. Well, judging from the care she was giving the boy I only had to conclude that he was her son, perhaps i'm being judgemental. However, the main reason to my keen interest on the both mother and son was the headband the mother was wearing on her head. "was she a cancer patient?", "was it just a trend to shave her head botak?" "maybe she's a nun, taking care of her sister's son?" So okay, the first question was a more sane assumption. This triggered me to the thought of appreciation. How many of us here are victim to time? How many of us here actually become slave to our work instead of enjoying the process of it. I'm sure there are a thousands, afterall, in this day and age almost everyone is career driven, well at least, 90% of singapore is!
So yes that's life for little singapore.
So as I relate it to the mother and son, i wonder how the little boy thoughts for the day were.
It was as if he was going through a mindless routine. As I watched him skipped off the bus without glancing back towards his mum or care taker whichever, made me realise that this simple act spoke a thousand words. It made me see how much concern there was to his mum. Does he even realise his mummy could be gone forever. Death is an issue where many people have different views on. People mourn, people celebrate (yes, some odd tribes do celebrate death), people offer forms of symbols to show their respect to the dead. However, in my opinion, the best gift we can give to the dead is nothing but treating them good when they are alive.
See guys, I have a problem with myself, I am often too soft with people and it;s only because I feel what they feel. My strong sense of emotions have mould me to what I am now. Despite this soft nature, I tend to channel the good side of it towards people. Take for example, when people gets angry with me, I hold it in instead of lashing out at them. I believe anger is an emotion manifested by many suppression and it's true about the saying "anger feds on anger" So why get angry with someone who's already angry. Yup, I tend to stay quiet and listen, that my dears is a skill one should pick up especially toward your loved ones. They might be gone any minute, so why not make the best of the times you are having with them.
Then again, my soft nature does not mean I'm an angel. I do have my ugly side. When push comes to shove, I do get crazy however, it is rare nowadays. I've learn to see situations at different perspective. It helps a lot in handling your emotions as well.
Furthermore, as I sat in the interview room today at raffles city robinson staff area, I saw a light reflection cast against the empty wall of the room, what was special was the fact that the reflection took after the shape of a heart. It was a gruelling moment waiting for the result of the interview but that heart gave me a boost that lifted my spirits a little. Time is not something that I have forever, but I have it now and that is what matters.
Okay folks, that's about my TIME for today's post! catch you guys soon!
TTFN.
