If you know that you have one hour left before you leave this world, who would you call? And why are you still waiting?

i read this somewhere, and it made sense.. why must we wait until when we're about to die then we decide that we should do or tell somebody something..

i gave it some thought and realised that there are just some things that we don't dare to say.. like appreciating the cleaning auntie in my workplace by saying a simple thank you.. but we don't do that cos we think that it's her job to do so..

then again, it may be too trivial for now.. how about telling mum and dad that you love them once in a while.. the thought of it might irk a little, because we haven't been saying that often.. and suddenly saying these "mushy" words may warrant a little more time and more talk from them (which we sometimes try to avoid)..

so ya..

to esther, thanks for being my sister-in-christ, my friend, my role model, and my teacher all these while.. never giving up on my absolute lack of faith and being so patient with me..

to everyone else, thanks for you being you..

i realised that the above sounded almost similar to the one that i wrote slightly under 2 years ago.. but still, these are the people who have shaped my life and who i am.. and i am truly indebted to them..

thank you, dear friends..
