I think all the downs I encountered is nothing compared to the point where you know you might lose a loved one. Like losing my uncle was a great deal of pain to everyone in my family. The before and aftermath left a deep imprint in our lifes, which includes the change in person's character. It's ironic!7th Grandaunt has been a really great lady. Never fail to call us when she misses us or take care of our needs when we go out with her and 4th Grandaunt. She will gladly buy us anything we want or need. Like how my bro got his K800i and shoes and many many many things. It's definitely a sign of generousity for a working adult. I just chatted with her over the phone on Sat and wanted to meet her next weekend. She fell a slightly more than a month ago and I haven seen her since cus I was busy with exams then. Only managed to ask abt her conditions through calls. Neither did I take the initiative to visit her after that. And when I really took the initiative to call her and ask her out for lunch next week, this kind of thing had to happen. 4th grandaunt just called and said she couldn't really talk this morning, and all her muscles on the right were limpy. She didn't wanna go to the hospital at first but things got worse in the afternoon and was sent straight to RH. Now, the doc diagnose her with minor stroke. This 2 sis are health conscious yet such things could happen. I know nothing is predictible but isn't the timing a tad too scary. It's like a story in movies where they try to do something to maybe repay someone then something bad happens. So apt.I'll just pray for the better. We really should treasure the people ard us no matter how distant we're related because in the end, we only remember the good times shared and never the bad times. So make yours and their lives happening. Every little gesture or words could make a person's day. If we can, why not just spread a little joy and happiness around? Being truthful helps too...like telling ur friend or family that what you said today made me happy. And I always stress politeness. Simple 'Thank You' puts a smile in a person's heart. When I accidentally knock into a person on the streets, whether or not I'm wrong, I'll say sorry. And out of 10 person I knock, only one return me a sorry. And when anyone holds the door or press the lift for ya, ALWAYS say thank you! I'm not trying to portray a very good image of myself. Just superly angry with singaporeans' manners. I always teach my bros but they only do it at times...at least they're learning. I'm bad actually...like how I will say "wa lao", "shit" and all sorts of rubbish words. But even if you nvr say thank you, for that few seconds, I'll just think in my heart, "another idiotic singaporeans". And also among friends, once in a while you say thank you if they hold the door for ya is fine la hor. At least you bother to say...so effort paid. You dun have to change overnight..taking baby steps is good enough to change you into a better person really.
