Moments....


"Life isn't a matter of milestones, but of moments."" People don't remember days but moments."
I 've stopped writing blogs for a while not because I don't have time but I realised I was lost in my own world for a while. I remember sharing to my cousin that I wanted to be a NEW me! Sadly, it turned out to be an OLD me.
I suddenly found inspiration to write a few words after hiding in my own cave reflecting "what is life after death?" I just lost my grandpa who unconditionally sponsored my tertiary education. I could still remember the moment when I needed to pay for my uni fees, I would ask from my parents and all they could do was just to refer me to him. I felt very embarrass each time I faced my grandpa asking for money. That time, my mum always asked me to pay back my grandpa' s contribution by studying hard and becoming a graduate. I felt that I did not do my best to pay him back as I am a full timehouse wife now contributing nothing to the society.
Well, not until I read an article about how a lady who suffered from cancer treasure and be grateful of life, I was still in my cave feeling hopeless and aimless. I learn that life is not about how much of wealth we ve been chasing after, how much of endless tasks we ve to accomplish each day, which part of the world we ve not travelled to, which profession we have, howmuch salary we earn, where we have our dinner, BUT life is about the moments we spend each day learning not to stop laughing because we grow old ; we grow old because we stop laughing. Lifeis about the good thoughts we have for God, those who are dear to us in the family, disabled, a few out of millions of unfortunate people out there who need our help.
It is very sad to see siblings fighting over money matter. When we were much younger, even a sweet also we could share eating. But, when we are grown ups,why can't we do the same? Is money really that important?
