The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider Freeways , but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.

We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.

We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.

We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things.

We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.

These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete...

Remember; spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever.

Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side.

Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.

Remember, to say, 'I love you' to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you.

Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again.

Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

~George Carlin

nobody can judge you except yourself. it's a saddening feeling when your friends are eventually the ones who dun understand or believe you.

already missing the beach, the fishes and urchins at tioman. hmm the resort wasnt superb but the snorkelling experience was good. makes me wanna learn diving, to explore the deeper oceans, just like my big bro.

omggg, time flies and i'm like 21 now. fat and old. wad a sucky feeling!




ps: shall change my blog skin soon when i have the time.

i'm such a lousy person. GRRR!!!

wow 2 weeks of camps and i'm damn shagged. it's time to acknowledge the fact that i'm getting old. never a camp-y person to start with and after all that i've seen for the past week, i just hope that i dun have too many wrinkles surfacing.

my dad told us on sat, with authority comes responsibility. how true... and maybe with age comes maturity too, which i dun see in some people. and this truly disappointed me. well, i've learnt quite a bit from this episode, and i am seriously hoping that they do too, cos it's for their own good in the future.

i'm very appreciative of the people who are around me. cos they will always cheer me up even if i look sulky everyday, constantly reminding me to think of the brighter side of things. maybe i'm just pessimistic by nature and i tend to reflect a lot. but yah i kinda admit tt this weakness of me is really irritating, makes me feel old.

it's time to set things right after this week. jiayou mel!
