ahhh. the o lvl results are coming out tml. talked to a couple of juniors and gave them my well-wishings, and they're supposed to msg me their good results tml.

my friend was telling me about her econs lecturer in another uni who just passed away too. and though she didn't like him and always argued with him, she just felt sad after he received news tt he passed away.

just collapsed at the door and took off.

and in light of a seperate incident where a teacher of rjc also passed away in a mountain biking incident, i can't help but have a few thoughts come to my mind.

life is short. live every moment of it meaningfully. and as i told one of my juniors who was taught by the ex-rjc teacher, "though such things are hard to deal with, they serve as a prompt reminder to wake us up and to remind us to live every moment of our life appreciating the people around us; to live our lives without regrets."

because in our busy lives rushing to and fro, we often neglect the things tt matter the most. things tt are the only matters worth fussing over.

just like an email i read some time ago written by this lady who had cancer and was making a list of things tt she would have done differently if she knew she had cancer earlier. and one on the list was , "i would not have made such a big fuss about winding down the windows in the car on days when the air-conditioning was spoilt just because it would spoil my hair."

priorities are an important part of our lives. set your priorities right. are results the crux of which we revolve around? even small things like getting bothered over the clothes tt we wear to school; or whether which handbag we should pick today; how much gel to use in our hair; how much did we spend on lunch just now, to bigger things like which career path to take; to how badly we did in the pervious CA; whether we're putting on weight.

yes, these deserve some attention nevertheless, but they should never get us too bothered.

instead, spend of ur energy on things tt really matter. stuff like? probably u would know what lies in this category more than anyone else.

go look for your mum/dad right now and give them a big hug and tell them, "i love you." or "thanks for all tt u've done for me.". those words really go a long way. it's definately hard to begin, but as you go along, it gets easier. i myself discovered this some time ago. :)

live a life w/o any regrets. it's hard, but it'll be worth your effort. keep people and things tt matter most close to your heart and never let them go, because u may just find tt u may not get the chance to someday.

to me, friends rank 3rd. family 2nd. God first. simple as tt. all other things can wait.
