Father's Day
Lol, both me and my sis forgot that ytd was Father's Day... So 失败 lor... Haha, anyway, Happy Father's Day to all dads out there! :) Had to work ytd (yes! on sun!!) to prepare for the activities with the users today... Hence, missed Father's Day dinner (nice JW curry fish head lei!!) as a result... A bit sian... I left at 7.30pm and they already reach home le lor... Haha...
Just finished reading a book that I bought on sale together with sarah and xy recently. :) If I nv rmb wrongly, it's like 5bks (1,1,3) for $35? Correct no ar? Haha, anyway, here are some extracts from the bk. hmm, borrowing a quote from sarah, "it's only interesting if ur interested". darn true. hahaa, so, not interested then dun read lor. hahaa! (hmm, i think these apply to a lot of stuffs in life actually. :)
"Life is hard, but it was not always so."
(warning: the below extract is 1 whole pg, wahaha)
"Grief can destroy you - or focus you. You can decide a relationship was all for nothing if it had to end in death, and you alone. Or you can realise that every moment of it had more meaning than you dared to recognise at the time, so much more meaning it scared you, so you just lived, just took for granted the love and laughter of each day, and didn't allow yourself to consider the sacredness of it. But when it's over and and you're alone, you begin to see it wasn't just a movie and dinner together, not just watching sunsets together, not just scrubbing a floor or washing dishes together or worrying over a high electric bill. It was everything, it was the
why of life, every event and precious moment of it. The answer to the mystery of existence is the love you shared sometimes so imperfectly, and when the loss wakes you to the deeper beauty of it, to the sanctity of it, you can't get off your knees for a long time, you're driven to your knees not by the weight of the loss but by gratitude for what preceded the loss. And the ache is always there, but one day not the emptiness, because to nurture the emptiness, to take solace in it, is to disrespect the gift of life."
