Spare a moment to reflect the following ... 3 air disasters in the last two months ... suicide bombings in Jakarta's JW Marriot & Ritz Carlton ... terrorists' attacks in Mumbai ... ethnic clashes in Urumqi ... the list continues. Lives were lost - in all cases unexpectedly and unnecessarily. A fellow Singaporean was a dining table away from certain death and lived to tell his story and experience. Others were not as lucky. And the stark reality is that it could very well have been you or me.
Life therefore is uncertain and unpredictable, and should never ever be taken for granted. Live life to the fullest today and not leave it till tomorrow.
This is something I consciously try to do everyday, from the moment I open up my eyes to a brand new day every morning. I am counting my blessings every single day. I am spending good, quality time with my family and will continue to give them my time and attention whenever I am able. This new-found philosophy of life has made living that much more meaningful and enriching.
This weekend I get to watch Liverpool Live! at the National Stadium with my wife. Now this is the life!
Ces't la Vie!
