Life is Unpredictable.. So cherish it…

February 3, 2007

Yesterday was a gloomy day at the NUS Biz School.. One of our fellow friends departed the night before.. It was so sudden..
It’s scary to know how fragile and unpredictable life is..

He was a a really dedicated and outgoing individual who has contributed vastly to the school.. A kind hearted soul, loved by many…
Although I’m not particularly close to him, I felt so much pain.. Last saw him on last friday.. Nv expected that to be the last time..

I still remember we were attending one tutorial class tog last sem.. And we had a presentation that was video taped.. Our tutor was just telling us a few years back, one of the students in her class committed suicide.. And the mother then asked her for the video as she wanted to keep it as a memory..

Our tutor then told us she wanted to keep all video tapes since then.. She even joked that for what reason she don’t know.. But just in case..

Can’t believe it happened…

My heart really really ached.. Coudn’t hold back my tears as I watched his memorial video…

It really changed my perspective on life.. For all the little details that we fuss about, all the dreams that we pursue, all the things that we fight so hard for, what is most important to cherish is our life..
Be thankful for what you have… Instead of complaining of what you don’t have..

Cherish the people around you.. Do not wait till it’s too late and regret..

For those who are faced with difficulties.. Be thankful that you’re given the life and chance to continue living…

You will be remembered my dear friend…. By the many people whom you have touched..

May God Bless You…

dear.. sometimes, life hits you when you least expect. and the loss of your friend is precisely one of such hits. it’s meant to wake people up about how life is indeed unpredictable. so it’s important to love your life and embrace it before it is gone. *sigh*

Calvin, tho’ I dun know him, but a passing is always a time of grieve, esp those who know and love him… cherish those happy moments you spent with him.

yeah… embrace life, enjoy the little things that life sends along the way, appreciate what you have, give your loved ones a hug everyday, tell them you love them and see them smile… picture that smile in your mind’s eye so that when the inevitable happens, at least we will have that vivid memory of your loved one smiling…

Heyz Pat & Kayceez..

Yeahz.. As you said, we should draw from the lessons learnt and learn to embrace life..

Life is too short to live negatively.. Hence we should all learn to stay positive and reach out to those who require our help..

We shall all live a meaningful life, one with no regrets!

Yes,

Let live meaningful life. Life is not just about making money but relationship we have with people. This makes life more wonderful.

[...] Our lives are indeed extremely vulnerable and anything can strike us when we least expect it. Well I did mention about the loss of a friend earlier this year in a blog post, and I’ve stressed the importance that one should cherish their life and show gratitude to their loved ones. [...]
